Thank you! I really missed outdoor grilling over flame. 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.
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.
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.
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.
