My son made steak and rice.
Last night was teriyaki chicken over rice with corn on the cob. I think tonight will be baked tofu with wheat berries and salad.
This week I made biscuits from Bisquick and they were amazingly light and fluffy. I put peach/cherry compote on it. DH really liked it. I am constantly looking for a way to use up the quarts if frozen berries we have sitting in our freezer from decades gone by.
We have a counter full if cucumbers. To make a cuke salad more interesting I added cumin and coriander to a commercial mayo type dressing. That was good! I ground fresh cumin and coriander from seeds for it.
I like biscuits by Bismarck. The only way I would deal with anything that old in the freezer would be the garbage. I am fussy about expired food. Just not worth it.
A big salad with many of the ingredients I've included lately plus shiitake mushrooms.
Hospital cafeteria food.
Can of Progresso Tomato Rotini soup.
A vaguely-Middle-Eastern stew made with lamb and eggplant. The eggplant came from DD's CSA box. I think we've spent about $20 buying ingredients for meals for three free eggplants! But they've been tasty and DW will eat them at least the first time, so there's that (wasn't sure she'd eat eggplant; was never served it at home).

Roasted eggplant, kale and red onion pizza. Eggplant and kale from the garden. I'm going to have a bonus crop of Japanese and white eggplant this year. I roasted and froze the first decent eggplant harvest today for future use.
Last night was the first grill of the summer - burgers wrapped in lettuce from the garden.
Possibly, a Reuben sandwich and a romaine salad with artichoke hearts.
That sounds really good. What type of lettuce?Quote:

Last night picked up Chinese food for everyone because my husband had went 22
hours without eating and my son worked from 10 am until midnight. We have leftovers for today.
Seed packet doesn't say anything beyond "Lettuce", but it's a long leaf, almost like Romaine (but not). I now prefer lettuce wrap over a bun. Just has a crisper, fresher taste.Quote:

Homemade rice a roni mix (actually out of the Tightwad Gazette - lol). Tonight - meeting up with a friend for outside dining - with ALL precautions... a first! I'm rather excited! LOL.
I am making 2 meals today. Stuffed pork chops, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, etc. That way I am off the hook for awhile.
Market Basket Oriental stir fry mix with soy sauce and I threw in some caraway seeds.
Market Basket sushi - looks like we have MB Asian theme night going on!
Somewhat Asian theme here: pork steaks in a turmeric coconut sauce. It'll feed us a couple of nights.
Cold soba noodle salad with sun dried tomato, black olive, a little shredded kale and ginger sesame dressing.
Patty melts.
Scottish mince 'n tatties.
Eggplant parm.
BBQ chicken, Texas caviar (black eyed pea salad), smashed red potatoes with garlic.
I want to eat at Catherine’s and pinky toes house tonight.
Friday Fish Tacos.
Beef Stroganoff
Reeaaally? You MUST be Irish or Scottish. (I believe you've been to either St. Patrick's Day events or a Robbie Burns night. Have you had mince?Quote:

When we were in Scotland last year *sigh* a buddy of mine and I tried haggis. Twice. We both rather liked it. One of those meals for which you don't want to think much about the ingredients, but it was tasty. Nothing I've been tempted to put together here though it would be an interesting exercise to make something resembling it for when all of us cruisers get together in another few weeks for an outdoors get-together and remembrance.Quote:

I am Irish and my husband is Scottish. We went to a Robert burns dinner and I ate the haggis thinking it was stuffing. My husband started laughing and I forbid him to tell me what it is. I thought it was delicious. I have never had mince. I am pretty fussy about eating and not very adventurous.
As far as I can tell, the only British Isles food that appeals to me is High Tea and Indian takeaway, though I do have a fair bit of English/Scots ancestry.
After looking at a few recipes for haggis which were not "just offal" I then looked at recipes for vegetarian haggis (labeled even by vegetarians as "not like the real thing") and decided it was a lot of work for a dish that most of our party-goers would instinctively shun. On to other ideas.Quote:

I do remember the black puddingS served at breakfast in Scotland and I like those. Never was fond of kippers. And if you got into the more English side of things, canned baked beans on toast was a breakfast thing which was pretty awful.
That was my conclusion (later posting) and the recipes I'd homed in on didn't even call for organ meat.Quote:

The texture is fine; it's just too vinegary for me. I'm generally fine with other pickled things, though, so ... ?? And baked beans on toast? Baked beans usually are way too sweet for me anyway; putting them on white bread doesn't do either of them any good imho. :)Quote:

Stuffed grape leaves and cheese sticks.
Made a fabulous mushroom soup from Allrecipies recipe. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/23...9J6ByZiQPnMETI
Note: We liked it without the added dairy and for the reheated second meal tried yogurt in it which was excellent. Used dried Thyme and not too much and it did add to the flavor. Liked it so much, got 2 pounds of mushrooms on sale and will make it again for the freezer using my homemade chicken stock.
I have had excellet results from Foodwishes.blogspot.com which is Chef John's site. He has really funny youtube videos too.
