What's for Dinner, Sat., Sept. 10, 2022

[NJCher]

Pizza using a cauliflower crust (freezer section). I put on green pepper, onion, tomato, extra cheese (mozzarella and parmesan). Garlic shrimp, left over from last night's dinner at my friend's house.

Then I take a stack of basil leaves and do a chiffonade. Practically the whole top of the pizza is covered with basil leaves.

With my fresh garden veggies, these pizzas are so outrageously good!

Tossed green salad, also leftover from last night.

Dessert: tapioca pudding with blueberries and raspberries on top. Toasted almonds, too. Mug of spicy Good Earth tea.

1. Chicken salad with copious quantities of chopped up veggies (e.g. celery,

cucumber, zucchini), side of sautéed zephyr squash, huge Muscadine grapes for dessert.

10. Muscadine are delicious!

They make excellent jelly, too.

11. zephyr squash

It looks like it's half zucchini, half crookneck or yellow zucchini!

How interesting; never heard of this and I've been gardening for decades!

12. It's definitely a hybrid, and may even have some delicata in its genetic makeup.

It's very tasty. I got it in my CSA box at my local organic farm this week. They often have something unusual, such as watermelon radishes or candy cane beets, in addition to more familiar items. One of the other items in my box today was canary melon, which I've never had before.

2. Odds and sods

Tilapia sautéed in cornmeal, red beans & rice, boiled spinach and no dessert because there's nothing in the house to make it with! Maybe an apple instead.

3. I made a pot roast with vegetables

Beef chuck, potatoes, carrots, cabbage, onion, garlic. Turned out pretty good and I have leftover for tomorrow. Maybe

4. Casey's gas station pizza.

7. They put one of those in a small town right off the highway exit, not too terribly far from us.

I keep reading people raving about it, but having grown up in an Italian family in an Italian neighborhood full of awesome mom and pop pizzerias, I'm really super picky about pizza and leery of trying it. Afraid of wasting the money.

I did stop in there once several months ago for gas. They had like 5 or 6 grades of gas on the pump and none of the prices at the pump matched the prices on their signs, so I left and went to a different station.

5. Cooked some more brown rice noodles

and baked the last of the package of MSF chik'n nuggets, with leftover homemade peanut sauce, and cucumber onion salad in sweetened rice vinegar.

I had tomato soup and some oyster crackers.

6. Murgir Korma (Creamy Bengali Chicken),

basmati rice and a deconstructed caprese salad.

[Cairycat]

8. Mung bean dal and rice and

curried vegetables - cauliflower, green beans, carrot, tomato. I'll have a Ruthie (lager from Exile Brewery in Des Moines) and Mr. Cairycat will have the Dubonnet and gin he's currently working on (in the Queen's honor).

9. Shrimp burger and corn.

13. Very late post

We had a small dinner party last night. It was a beautiful evening in the Catskills and we sat outside till late in the evening enjoying a fire, the company and nature's beauty.

The Landlady(!) made venison Bourguignon and it was fabulous! The meat was tender and delicious and her gravy was awesome. One of our guests brought a delicious red wine, Cantina Zaccagnini (2019) and I'm pleased that there's one bottle left for tonight!
