Great recap.
Festival season is in full swing and there’s no shortage of things to do. I headed off to a matinee movie yesterday afternoon then stopped by buskerfest on my way home. One busker was juggling torches and another performed a dance with hula hoops (think rhythmic gymnastics). No pictures this time since there was a sea of people in front of me and I’m too short to hold up my camera to take a photo 
Then off to ribfest to pick up dinner. It took me only 20 minutes to decide what I wanted 
So I got a chicken and rib combo and mac 'n cheese. I had enough of peopling at this point so I popped into the liquor store to pick up a bottle of wine to have with dinner and called it a day. I had the ribs and half the mac 'n cheese last night and the chicken and the other half of the mac 'n cheese are for a future dinner.

But but … I heard Germans were so good at fucking.
$7.50 USD for a coffee and a donut is not that out of line with what I pay here in Philadelphia, nor are the meat and 3 platters at around 24 USD

Spanish-inspired chicken with mashed potatoes for dinner tonight.
Chicken was flavored iwth garlic, smoked paprika, vinegar, and onions and baked till the skin crisped up. (Ok, slightly more than that because I popped in the shower… erm…)
Mashed potatoes were simple, just s&p, milk, and butter.
Very tasty and quite comforting. We love our mashed potatoes, and it’s been a while since we had any!
Enough leftover for a second meal, which is also nice.
(Mom had mixed leftovers – veg and paneer cutlets and umami noodles.)

That’s a winner:speak_no_evil:
Flat breads tonight, cleaning out the fridge and freezer for appliance delivery tomorrow.
A salami and a mozzarella - basil. We think the toaster oven thermostat is on fritz. Oven seems to be overheating and the convection setting doesn’t seem to be working. Needed more basil!

Those mashed potatoes are calling to me. I love them with texture like that.

Made the Soy Sauce Braised Wild Mushroom Noodles from the Woks of Life again tonight. We’re back to dreary, wet weather, so this was a nice pick me up!

I love having days off. I’m still dealing with emails I can respond to or pass to someone else, but I’m technically not working.
Wanted chicken for dinner.
Had fresh COTC I need to strip and freeze.
Combined both in tonight’s meal.
B/S chicken breast seasoned with olive oil and Hubba Hubba Foods’ Dip Me Daddio seasoning mix and pan-seared in butter and olive oil and finished in the toaster oven.
One cup of corn was saved from what was cut off cobs, and was whirled in a small FP with some corn stock, s/p, and dried thyme. Blended it all with s bit of heavy cream for a sauce.
Pappardelle was cooked and mixed with corn sauce, served with slices of chicken and extra cooked corn kernels, toasted Panko crumbs and dried parsley.
There was wine. Because HEY! It’s still the weekend for me.

Last night’s bday dinner for me - nothing at all fancy (had dinner out the night before, brunch in the daytime, and the big Stinson bday weekend last week), but since i’ve been eating so differently lately, i “splurged” and had a BLT and corn on the cob with butter! Deelightful!
and tonight, BF made a light and lovely gazpacho with tomatillos, cukes and other yummy things, copy-catted from a restaurant i went to years ago, now closed. Also, salad, MOAR COTC, and my pan con tomate. Summertime!
