What's for Dinner, Tues., May 26, 2026

[NJCher]

Roasted beet and feta cheese salad with homemade vinaigrette; all the lettuce is from the garden.

Fresh corn from the cob and queso quesadillas with Poblano pepper and scallion. Homegrown cilantro and avocado, too.

Made this recipe up myself, based on what I learned in the recent Christopher Kimball/Milk St. show. He says quesadillas are better thought of as a "concept."

Pineapple kombucha.

Dessert: Vanilla mochis.

5. Breakfast

Under the bad influence of my son, we bought a can of what’s apparently vegan spam… He’ll eat actual spam; I’ve never had the desire. However, there it was, so I made tofu scrambler and “spam.”

Bossy as he is, he took over because I apparently know nothing about how to cook spam, so here I sit with a full belly, wondering if he’s going to wash my dishes, too. (My guess is no.)

Still half the spam (and tofu) to reheat, and I think I’ll drizzle with a little maple syrup tomorrow to make it more palatable.

Now I’ve eaten it, I’m convinced he’s going to urge me to get more because we got it at a discount market (one of those deals where over half the goods are just piled up in boxes and you have to bring your own bags—which we do anyway). Cost us a whopping $1.25 a can, which is hard to argue with, even if it wasn’t the best seitan I’ve ever had.
