What's for Dinner #121 - the End of Vacation/Start of School Shopping Month Edition - August 2025

My PT recommended a chiropractor where she’s been doing an internship (she’s a kinesiology major), and today I had my first appointment with her. Hopefully, she can fix the various messes I created over a lifetime :crossed_fingers:t2:

Grabbed our Taco Friday lunch together, then dealt with the already craptastic traffic thx to the first home game tomorrow woo effin’ hoo, as we had to pick up a bunch of stuff for the weekend. Witnessed some impressively shitty drivers, too, e.g. several people running red lights, and a sleek BMW who came up like a rocket behind our car FLASHING us with their high beams— presumably to “encourage” us to move into the right lane despite the fact that we were going 5 miles over the speed limit, which prompted my PIC to tap his brakes (a favorite move of mine with peeps who seem to want to be in the backseat). This made the driver swerve into the turn lane to pass us. :flushed: Gonna be a fun semester!

I picked up two more bags of hatch chile peppers to be roasted tomorrow, as well as 2 dozen ears of super-fresh local corn for $10 to be stripped & turned into more stock for the winter :smiley:

Also yogurt, cuke & dill for the tzatziki I’m making for our Sunday potluck, and Greek feta from TJ’s for the melitsanosalata.

Dinner tonight was marinated and grilled lamb shoulder & loin chops courtesy of my PIC,

who also made his delicious pilaf,

and I contributed a salad with butter lettuce, small heirloom tomatoes, Persian cukes, and augmented buttermilk ranch dressing.

The lamb was perfectly rare :yum:
