We are celebrating our first ripened tomatoes by having BLTs tonight.
So, I actually made it and then did a taste test: Your raw veggie marinade vs DH's favorite sauce, Bachan's Japanese Barbeque Sauce. He uses it on EVERYTHING--it's his version of ketchup. Frankly, I don't like his sauce. It's too pungent and salty.Quote:

That's an annual tradition that is just a ciuple of days away for me. It's the only time of the year when I eat bacon and have a few strips of WF black forest for the occasion when it comes.Quote:

I learned that cucumber recipe years ago when I took a Chinese cooking class. Our instructor cut cucumbers into thin matchstick pieces and used that same simple dressing. I haven’t made it in a long time so thanks for the reminder. we have a bunch of cucumbers, sitting on the counter here.
Went to a Farmers Market this morning. Got some REALLY expensive gourmet type burgers. Dh had his whole (they are huge!) I split mine into two and it was great! Also have leftovers to go along. Very good.
Lasts night was eggplant "pizza" - round of eggplant with slice of tomato and mozzerella cheese. Turned out well.
Planning - so far- on portabella mushroom burger tonight.
We are going swimming at the state park and then out for seafood, son and granddaughters, so it should be great.
Oh, that sounds great!Quote:
