What's for Dinner, Tues., Aug. 11, 2020

Pizza and the last of the baby arugula. I was able to pick enough cherry tomatoes for the arugula salad and are they ever delicious when they're fresh off the vine!

Dessert is watermelon: cold, sliced watermelon.

boiled red potatoes with butter, lemon, and fresh rosemary
sautéed spinach and garlic

For dessert, I have Ricotta cookies made by my Mom. She usually only makes them at Christmas, but she’s been doing a lot of baking during quarantine. They’re soooo good with a cup of hot tea or coffee. They are soft, have some almond extract in them, a little simple powdered sugar icing on top, and she added rainbow sprinkles! I was thrilled when she called and told me to stop by the house to pick some up!

used some of the leftover roast pork and added a bunch of veggies. I served on the noodles from 2 pkg of ramen, and made a sauce using 1/2 of a seasoning packet, some chicken broth, soy sauce, garlic and ginger.

homemade zucchini bread for dessert

I had to go to the store today for mine.

BTW, caught your comment from yesterday and there's no recipe. He makes this stuff up in his head and then carries it out in the kitchen. I will, however, ask him for the seasonings and ingredients.

With my backyard tomatoes and basil from the Farmers Market. I thought the recipe had way too much oil so I cut it back. Delicious, but wished I had some good Italian bread to sop up the juices.
