What's for Dinner #73 - School's Back In! Edition - September 2021

Yum. Do you include cucumbers? Or is it that you use tzatziki-style dressing on the potatoes?

Didn’t use cukes last night. But I may trying adding them to the leftovers. I wonder if it would taste weird with potatoes. Alternatively, we still have more tubs of Ken’s tartar sauce, which I may add.

Trying to gain some traction with WFD. Grilled Beyond burgers and buns (I looked away and I had to scrape the buns a bit but I salvaged them…I think in a restaurant, they’d be described as charred), tzatziki potato salad supplemented with some Ken’s tartar sauce, local pickles, simple salad of gorgeous local arugula/tomato/cukes/red onion in my everyday vinaigrette (TJs whole grain mustard, rice vinegar, garlic, good olive oil/salt&pepper). We’re clinging onto summer, people!

ETA: and because it’s me, we’re clinging on, sideways! (Durn these photo issues!)

Please share your collards recipe please! That is something my father loves and I enjoy but I cannot make it for anything!! My broccoli rabe I’ll put up against anyone, my collards, sub par.

Okay. I’m going to come up with something amazing.

Okay maybe not.

Seriously, it depends on the texture and flavors you like in your collards.

I sort of used a bunch of ideas. I had some ham hock broth, I cooked some thinly sliced collards in it and cooked at a simmer until tender and almost dry. I added some of the Ethiopian chili oil. Good as is, or served with the seasoned curd. Not something I grew up with, but something I love.

Pizza. Italian sausage, roasted tomatoes, mozzarella/parm and basil. Salad with oo&v dressiing. Keeping with the Italian theme a Negroni.

Back to having chicken cutlets once a week. Not that I’m complaining but I feel like I am stuck in an abyss of repetition lately. Roasted potatoes and sautéed spinach on the side.

Beautiful evening outside. My brain said whiskey, but the heart went with a Hendrick’s and tonic.

Not @digga (obviously!) but when I made tzatziki potato salad over the summer I did, grating them on box grater, then squeezing some liquid out. I loved the bit of crunch. I followed Smitten Kitchen’s recipe. Need to do that again soon!

I’m fond of gin and tonics too! Have you tried Hendricks with an English cucumber spear rather than lime? :drooling_face:

I know Hendrick’s is meant to be served with cucumber but I can’t do cukes in any way. Not even gin! :nauseated_face:

Ratatouille adjacent, to use up some okra, eggplant and squash.

I’ve always wanted a bumper sticker that says: “It’s called a TURN signal for a reason!”
Hardly anyone around here (Marin County, CA) uses them. Drives me nuts.

Spicy duck wings, beer, and college football. An excellent way to spend the first weekend of autumn.
