Oh, how about that. I don’t recall ever seeing them this late before. Also okra.
There are some new everbearing varietials that keep strawberries growing until October in Ontario, and Quebec.
We still have local everbearing strawberries in London, ON (Zone 5B). They’ll be available in Zone 5 until mid October or so. They can probably grow the same varieties into Nov in NY, PA and NJ.
Albion Everbearing are grown into October in Ontario.
Dinner salad. Bib lettuce, baby orange pepper, cubed Swiss cheese, pimento olives. mini cucumber, bits of nova lox, lemon, roasted cauliflower.
Dressing?
Lol you know me by now N-lemon.
So many posters & salads, but only so many brain cells
Ah. You get a pass. Salad lady’s always do.
I really don’t enjoy dressing.
Whew. Well, that’s a relief. Cuz I’m mos def a salad… person.
Ok, this looks a little gloppy, but is tasty - Stroganoff mushrooms with cheddar on sourdough. Sauvignon Blanc for me and IPA for him.
Chicken and cheese pupusas (Del Rio from Sam’s) and homemade curtido. Quick meal. DH’s white cake with strawberries and salted maple whipped cream for dessert.
Breakfast for dinner: quick, easy, delicious and tidied up the last two slices of thick cut bacon and a gorgeous heirloom tomato on its last legs. Toast and much-needed G&T not pictured.
Super simple meal tonight, and a very orangeish/beigeish one at that:
Leftover sliced roast chicken, garlic-herb cheese, and slices of a CSA Ginger Gold apple on buttered Pepperidge Farm sourdough bread, and grilled on the grill pan.
Fritos alongside. (It’s corn…there’s my veg.)
And wine.
And a 4-day weekend for me.
And I now know Ginger Golds aren’t anywhere near appley enough for me. In fact, it was very bland. It wasn’t either “gingery-sweet to mildly tart”, nor was it crisp, as many online reviews stated. Oh well, a visit to a local orchard this weekend will remedy that!
A gorgeous, if rather toasty day in the city of love, practically made for bopping around the nabe with my boo, who had the day off. We stocked up on bread, wine & beer, and entertained dreams of Angelo’s pie for dinner to have with the ridic amount of last night’s leftover salad.
Sometimes, dreams come true
A delectably kicky Diavlo with Italian long hots, hot sausage, homemade arrabbiata, RPF, and fresh garlic: no extra hot sauce required. The pie, reheated in the air-fryer by the slice def lived up to the hype: all the ingredients came through — great crust, crunch & chew, great cheese, good sausage with a detectable kick & redolent of our beloved fennel seeds. 10/10.
We shared 3 slices and have enough for 2 more meals!
Another place checked off my list, although we will very likely be back.
You are slayin’ me with the Fritos!
It’s my go-to salty Scooby snack. Potato chips, tortilla chips, pretzels…nothing else compares to Fritos!
Ha ha. I turned 65 this year. On Medicare and all that. Fritos have turned from an annual treat (about age 60) to a “quinquennial” treat. Nobody wants to talk about it, but it’s coming for all of us!
I’ll be 66 in a few weeks. Still working, so still on my company’s insurance plan, but signed up for Medicare Part A last year. But they’ll have to pry my Fritos from my cold dead hands. And even then, I might fight them.
Rice with kimchi remoulade and spicy pork patties. From Smoke and Pickles by Edward Lee. Simple radish and carrot slaw on the side. Total flavour bomb which needs to be made much more often.
Yum! I have that book; will have to look it up.
