that rice idea is genius. will try that next time!
Fattoush (with unintentionally over-spicy pepper from the garden, fail), seared salmon with za’atar and Urfa pepper (strange off flavor…Aldi?), and half an ear of COTC.

Looks tasty! I love fattoush…
I bet those peppers would be good roasted and in dips (muhammara? Or romesco with a kick?)

I’m kind of Freaking Out over the fact yesterday and today were decidedly cool… seems to go from fall to freezing and snow at lightning speed here.
Found a random mini farmers market yesterday on my bike ride and picked up a few better looking tomatoes that I made into another batch of fatoosh! Photo was before i tossed it all together image|700x700
Big salad of All The Things tonight, there’s some tofu in the bottom, then lots of olives, cilantro (with too many stems of course), red onion, cucumber, the last little tomato, and i added a miso tahini dressing after the photo. Kombucha a la carte.

Impromptu chinatown lunch trip with friends ended in shopping for gorgeous fresh veggies. Horrible subway ride back thanks to delays and rerouting… I was tired and hungry and wet when I got back so I steamed some of the snow peas for a snack and had them with leftover takeout japanese dressing - copied from last night’s snow pea salad at a japanese restaurant.
Dinner is more steamed snow pea “salad” with king trumpet mushroom “yakitori” - sliced king oyster mushrooms marinated in tare sauce and pan seared. I love these mushrooms!

Yours makes a better photograph! Very into it right now.
weekend in Dillon Beach was a huge success - everything - the weather, the food, the company - was just perfect and fun as hell. lots of leftover food, too, and the BF is sauteing chicken i marinated that we forgot to cook. Leg of lamb came out PERFECT, i must say. A friend brought a Moroccan carrot salad and eech - an Armenian rice and tomato dish. We had fresh and grilled oysters Saturday at Marshall’s, plus crab, halibut and pulled pork sandwiches, fish tacos, and halibut ceviche, with lots of rose & bubbly to wash it all down. Another friend made lobster bisque from lobster stock she’d frozen from our months-ago lobster party - that, toasty bread, butter, and more Greek salad was last night’s dinner. we had bacon and eggs for bfast, and fruit, and a “snack” on the way home of charcuterie, chips and trout dip and the best clam chowder I’ve ever had, at the newly reopened William Tell Hotel in Tomales Bay. Pimm’s Cups and vino there too. I’m exhausted and oversated, but happy.
last pic is the weekend’s leftover chicken, pilaf and ratatouille the BF plated up for dinner, which i did not need.
happy end of weekend!

Total guilty pleasure. But I am a big W H Macy fan for many yrs and the actor who plays Lip is so good.
The family kitchen table scenes are always a gas. What the heck are they eating, lol.

I always read the WFD dinner threads but rarely post! I really need to contribute more.
Tonight was seared scallops with a brown butter lemon parsley sauce, over rice, with dilled carrots. I made Dover sole for DH and the kids, but I don’t eat fish, so scallops for me. Their sauce for the fish was the same as mine, only with a splash of cream.
It’s been crazy hot here the last couple days. Last night I wasnt in the mood to heat up the kitchen, so I went with a light dinner of rasam, which is a South Indian spiced tamarind broth. (The leaves you see are curry leaves.) Served it with rice, sautéed cauliflower, and chicken nuggets because the kids don’t do cauliflower (one of the few veg they don’t like).
Thursday I had gone to the Asian market with my mom and picked up some fresh Shanghai style noodles, so that was dinner. I sauteed some sliced chicken breast with chopped garlic and ginger, then added in dark soy sauce and oyster sauce, cabbage and chopped green onion. Added the noodles and a cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. Came out great. Pan fried some TJs pork potstickers on the side too, and ate the noodles and potstickers with some Chilli Crisp.
Taco Tuesday meant Shrimp tacos and 7 layer dip. The shrimp was rubbed with chili powder, cumin powder, cayenne and lime juice and left to marinade for about 20 minutes. Then they were sauteed in a skillet for a couple minutes on medium high heat until done. The slaw was just cabbage with sour cream, salt and fresh lime juice. Nice and simple to beat the heat!
