Thank you! I really missed outdoor grilling over flame. :fire: I just can’t get the hang of grilling over gas. So glad to be back in business for the next 9 months.

Leftovers tonight. He decided to make an apple pie. Between the two of us we got the granny smith’s peeled and cored. Our wrists don’t work like they use to.:slightly_smiling_face:

I ‘m hoping to put our Primo to far more use next year. No grilling in a Philly pad :confused:

Cloudy, sporadic drizzle, high of about 74 in the DC area today. I made tamale pie and spouse added a bagged salad to the mix as I had my usual Tuesday choral rehearsal. Very good although if I’d adhered to the recipe it would have been terribly bland

Tonight’s dinner was Pea-Barley-Sausage soup. I accidentally picked up a couple cans of no-salt peas, so I pureed them with some garlic salt and chili powder. Added them to some pearl barley, a chopped up Dollar Tree discount sausage and some chicken stock. It was actually a pretty tasty soup, although I think I should have used beef stock vs. chicken stock.

Thank you! It was totally delicious - good combo with the chimichurri and veg.

Is Dollar Tree sausage distinct from other grocery store sausages, flavour-wise?

Last night’s dinner on a blistering hot day - San Francisco summer has finally arrived. Cold somen noodz in a spicy ginger/garlic sauce with sesame seeds, shichimi togarashi, scallions and cukes. Refreshing, and i love the thinness of the noodles.

Sorry to everyone who is experiencing mega-hot temperatures for forcing cool fall New Englandish temps on you in this thread! :laughing:

But I writes what I am experiencing, and today will only be cloudy and about 63° in my neck of the country.

Well, you know the old adage…it’s always sunny in Philadelphia :wink: :grin:

This was the “Hot” version. Apparently, no one wanted or liked it – so (Dollar Tree management) discounted this version down to 25 cents. I purchased all of them (about 8-9 packs) and froze them. The hot version is actually pretty good. The basic version tastes like hot dogs.

Both Sunshine and I like our food a little on the spicy side – me more than her, though.
