Yes, it is mid-August…
Despite that, I made soup, Potato Soup for dinner tonight. I had three Yukon Gold spuds, three Russets and two Red potatoes to “use, or lose”. They were used.
Is it okay to jazz up a supermarket prepped product?

Homemade lobster salad on a smooshy roll with Lays wavy potato chips.
New shell lobsters are $5.99 a pound at the local Market Basket. I did not let the store staff cook them, Never enough salt in the water.
Mixed in a little mayo, lemon juice, black pepper and celery.
No pictures-sorry but it was a very good sandwich.

That soup looks good! We’ve had potato leek soup a couple of times this summer.
Good hot or cold.

The potato soup looks delicious. What liquid & thickener do you use?

I’d love to make your gardens flourish, digga, but I’m afraid I’m a pretty lame gardener overall. Fortunately, my son picks up where I fall down. Right now, there is a lot of overgrown basil, overgrown parley with stalks the size of pencils and big flowers that threatened to take over the walkway, way too many tomatoes, and cabbage and new parsley that I’ve had for a few weeks and haven’t managed to get in the earthboxes. However, there are lots of herbs and tomatoes and poblanos, so all is not lost!

Greg, that was a Kroger prepped “garlic loaf”. I thought it needed something more…

Started with a Roux, cooked to a gold blond, then drizzled in a quart of vegetable stock before I added the cooked potatoes. Stirred, stirred, stirred the soup as I added two cups of room temp milk.
15 minuted from done I chopped two bunches of green onion and added that…

It’s my favorite sandwich.
…S/he says, then goes on to list a cornucopia of produce growing in the garden. Just admit it, you’re a gardening stud.

Had a homemade burger (tried seasoning it with adobo and it was awesome) tonight with caramelized onions and American cheese, and a side of air-fries. Well, it was going to be two burgers, but the plate slipped and one fell off. It fell in such a way that the burger separated from the melted cheese and onions. The burger landed flat on the floor, the bun open beside it, while the mass of cheese/onions landed square on the top of my shoe. Not realizing it at the time due to my thorough disappointment in the matter, this would have been the most interesting food pic I’d ever take in my life if I had the wherewithal.
I replaced the lost burger with an extra vodka and club soda.
No pics tonight.

Finally back in the kitchen. NYT recipe for Oyakodon, first time for me, and first time cooking sushi rice. I never thought I’d like this dish much because of the big fat onion slices (they make me think of worms) but for some reason I obsessed about it this week. Such amazing comfort food (on a 77 degree day - 
)
Simple dish, salty/sweet - the chicken and onions cook in a mirin/sake/soy/sugar/dashi sauce. The eggs are supposed to be a little runnier, but I thought that would turn the BF off. Still. Yum. Cukes marinated in Kewpi ginger dressing from our local Daiso. Nishiki rice turned out great, stove-top. Sake chasers and ichimi togarishi at table.
Did i tell you i cooked?

Since it was only 100 today, soup sounded like the perfect dinner. 
Well, I found a large can of hominy in the pantry this weekend and decided I should make pozole. Made veggie stock and added carrots, tomato, hominy, and some spices. Never cooked the chicken so I just stuck it in the frig. Tonight I served the soup topped with avocado, sour cream, and lime juice. Side was chicken Caesar salad.
