Fly-by, no pics, last few nights.
Oven-“fried” chicken. Whole chicken broken down, salted pieces, then breaded and oven-fried. Used leftover bakers above for mash and made chicken-milk gravy from the bits and drippings.
Labor day - 3 racks of pork ribs, 1 STL style and 2 babyback, with baked taters, microwave-baked Vidalias, green beans and broccoli. My grandson loves the greens and meats but kind of eschews the starch/taters.
Then “House” fried rice using leftover rib and chicken meat, diced shrimp meat, leftover rice (of course) and leftover veggies in the stir.
I still have leftover chicken and rib meat. Need to find a way to use or just eat it, or bust it all up into small pieces and make sandwich meats or salads of it.

After 2 days of eating nothing but a cheese stick I still have no appetite but I know I need to eat something. . . I browsed around InternetLand for awhile and landed on the Zucchini & Ricotta Rolls featured on the Trader Joe’s web site. I’m making my own sauce (using passata and basil I have growing out on the landing) b/c I don’t have theirs and making a smaller portion because it is just me here but I’m kind of excited about it.

Tonight I made shrimp Mozambique, Ncima/grits cooked in chicken broth, and Dino kale matapa (kale greens creamed w/peanuts, garlic, and coconut milk).
Really yum. Thanks to whoever suggested the shrimp recipe! Was it @MunchkinRedux or @BeefeaterRocks, perhaps?

Pork chop, duck fat roasted potatoes and more FM baby kale, braised with bacon fat and a lot of Cholula and sprinkled with bacon bits. I love that baby kale so much I’ve had it every night (except Friday nibbles) for the past 10 days or so.

Dinner tonight was with 8 peeps from my chile heads group at a Sichuan place we went to maybe once before eons ago… but our go-to place is no more, so we have to find a new home.
I always order family-style for the table to share & we spit the bill at the end. For a comparison to our old place I got most of our favorite dishes: 3 orders of dumplings in chili oil to start us off,
cumin lamb,
fish dry pot,
mapo tofu,
“house-style” spicy shrimp that were basically prepared the same way as Chongqing chicken,
and garlic eggplant.
Both the spice and heat level were similar to our old haunt, the portions a bit skimpier, however, and the mapo tofu was made with firm tofu. We all prefer soft or silken, TBH.
In any event, a nice meal & this place can go into rotation along with the other remaining Sichuan restaurant in town.
My boo and I had taken the scooter to the brewery for a sunshine beer, since today may well have been the last truly warm day for a while before heading to the restaurant, and thankfully it was still warm enough to take it back after dinner without freezing our t!ts off

year-round 
some parts of florida can do 3 crops a year.
even though I’m in Ontario, I have been planting in August and September. I have spinach and greens coming up which will keep producing until Halloween.
I also have recently planted radishes coming up. radishes are a quick growing plant that are ready in 21 days (long summer days , takes longer in the fall in Ontario ) , whereas many other vegetables take 50-90 days. Parsnips take 110 days.
I also planted some Canadian saffron crocus today , which is planted in the fall.
garlic can also be planted in the fall in Ontario.

You HOs with your corn chowders/chowders got me craving. I fried bacon, removed to the soup pot, sauteed leeks, carrots, celery, garlic in the bacon fat, removed to the soup pot, added more bacon fat and sauteed the corn and set aside, added more bacon fat and sauteed some cod scraps and two scallops I had in the freezer and put them with the corn. Added chicken broth (no corn broth, I don’t have room in my freezer for corn cobs) to the skillet to scrape up the fond and added that to the soup pot with s&p and a bay leaf to simmer for a while. Pureed some of the corn with cream and added that to the soup pot. When everything was hot I added the corn and seafood, served with a pat of butter and a dusting of pimenton. Warm baguette, butter and a few veg.
