What's For Dinner #120 - the Grilling Edition - July 2025

Absolutely. I like all kinds of dogs and burgers but if I make them myself I usually make them as the “creator” intended them to be. Mustard, relish and onions on the dog, onion, tomato, mustard, mayo and ketchup, cheese and lettuce optional, on the burger.

First photos with the new iPhone. Not sure if I can tell the difference, but I haven’t played around with all the different features.
Weird sort of mish mash of leftovers that needed to be used up. Roast bbq glazed pork loin, scallions red pepper, potato salad on a bed of lightly dressed romaine.
Weird but tasty.

Day 3 of cooking camp was spanakopita. Spring Onion was dubious about them. I spent some stressful hours planning to grill chicken thighs from a local place that our farm carries a la pinchos (Puerto Rican style) because I rarely handle/cook meat. Yesterday, I bought new skewers for our local BBQ shop. Cutting all the meat up was like a bad comedy show but I got it done, marinaded for a couple of hours in the fridge with adobe/Penzey’s seasoned salt/olive oil/pinch of dried oregano and the guys liked the end result. SO didn’t want the spanakopita, so I served his with rice. B had his with naan and tzatziki. I had mine with rice and Quorn “chicken.”

Saag aloo, repurposing leftover breakfast potatoes over basmati rice and topped with roasted sole. The sole was rubbed with turmeric, chile powder, salt, and pepper and dotted with butter before roasting. Some lemon over the whole thing when it was done. I’m stuffed and there is leftovers of the spinach and rice for tomorrow!

What I want when I can ‘stomach’ it…a slice or two of a nice, grilled, thick juicy’ rib eye or porterhouse, a dollop of horseradish cream, a few sauteed mushrooms and maybe part of the end of a baked potato. A few chopped romaine leaves, 1/4 of a tomato and a splash of fig balsamic vinegar. Someday soon, I hope!
