In case we have another Covid-like event as far as shortages and accessibility are concerned. Plus, I’m no youngster. :woman_shrugging:t3:

Sending healing thoughts your way!



Aside from being high in sodium, this black bean soup is a nice option ladled over a carb (baked potato, rice, etc).

So a weekend of an annoyed tummy (not bad, just not happy with me) forced me to push the Greek salad to tonight.

Id bought a bottle of Greek dressing but I cannot find it to save my mortal soul. I suspect Ill take my dishes to the kitchen only to find it standing on the counter winking at me.

Chicken-zucchini meatballs. Buccatini with basil pesto. Salad greens in vinaigrette.

Everything green from the garden.

Unusually successful somen ‘cause I roasted everything in the oven. Well, the squid and the mushrooms, anyway.

Dreary, damp, chilly day. Soup from the freezer and salad. I think it was my porky soup, there was sausage, ham and bacon, mirepoix, spinach and beans. Butter lettuce, tomatoes, asparagus, avocado, red onion, gg dressing salad.

Chicken skewers, garlic-lemon spinach, hummus, and baked feta with honey. And of course there was pita bread.

Martini. :cocktail:

Big old salad for dinner, by the BF. Those avo chunks were tossed in corn starch and fried. So good. for himself, he had more of last night’s lemongrass chicken meatball soup.

Continuing my ongoing theme of smooshed cherry tomatoes. I slow-roasted a pork “country rib” I had in the freezer, shredded, simmered in the smooshed tomatoes with mushrooms, butter beans, and shrimps. Served over arugula for that peppery zing.

I tried a Saveur recipe for Risotto alla Milanese that I printed out a long while back; the present recipe on their site omits the dry white wine in mine … I used Vermouth.

I used WF 365 Organic Chicken Broth (very nice!), instead of an onion I used shallots and 2 cloves of garlic (used garlic press). I’d roasted asparagus for 7 minutes (I like it crunchy) and added it at the very end. Recipe says to grate 1 cup of cheese (I used Parm) and put 1/2 at the end and serve the other 1/2 at the table ?? … I just used the 1/2 cup. No mention of salt … it needed about a teaspoon. (I used carnaroli rice)

My Italian relatives and mother only cooked Southern Italian recipes … I love being able to explore other recipes so easily via the internet!
