What's for Dinner, Sat., Sept. 18, 2021

[NJCher]

Had a late lunch so dinner might just be a few nibbles off the meal I had at the restaurant, which would be herbed grilled salmon and broccoli with Parmesan.

We ordered every type of appetizer from the menu: shrimp scampi, spinach artichoke dip with pita crisps, calamari, fried ravioli with sauces, stuffed ziti.

For dessert I ordered chocolate mousse which came in at only 240 calories. However, even though I said three times, I want the chocolate mousse and NOT the chocolate mousse cake, the waitress still brought me the latter.

Groan. I said it must be destiny that I have the chocolate mousse cake. I made up for it by only having a few bites. While I should have left it at the table, I took it home and hope I have the discipline to only have one bit a day.

edited to add: this was a lunch with my union buddies. We celebrated the retirement of our chief negotiator.

3. Well, thanks you've done it, forced me to pledge I will order whatever I feel like

on my up-coming trip to New England, and hope I LIKE it, or some of it; my taste buds or something have been wack-o for quite a while, so I seriously appreciate anything that tastes good/decent; chocolate mouse (AND/or cake) sound fine.

NO idea what I'll have for dinner.

4. Catfish

Our supermarket in the Catskills (get it?) has an amazing fish selection and they had catfish. The Landlady(!) made a Cajun rub. I’m going to grill it on a cedar board which is a new technique for me.

You soak the 5” X 10” X 1/2” board in water for 30 minutes before use then put it on the grill. I love learning new cooking tricks.

Yellow rice and a tomato salad will fill out the meal. Cookies for dessert.

5. Fish

Pan fried walleye, roasted new potatoes, garlic coleslaw, last tomato from the garden, Good Earth ice tea.

6. Tried a Beyond Burger for the first time.

Broiled it with shredded three-cheeses and a slice of Heirloom Tomato.

Really good.
