What's for Dinner, Mon., June 22, 2015

I wish I could go to Major Nikon's house for leftovers! (last post, yesterday's thread)

I think I might make stir-fried rice with shrimp.

1. Guess what? More lasagna

Boy, did I make a lot yesterday... Tonight I'll make a Caesar salad to go with.

ps: Agreed - I put carnitas on my list of future meals, after reading Maj. Nix's post. Got to have the guac with that, for sure!

2. Tossed last night's spaghetti carabonara disaster.

Today I'm making regular spaghetti. At least I know that this will be okay. Salad on the side.

3. Tacos.

About as generic a meal as you can get.

And although I knew I was obsessing about the raspberries, I didn't realize it was compulsive...

Told the housemate I'd stop picking at 9 gallons, but I see all those luscious little ripe bundles of goodness, and I can't just let them rot on the canes. So I'll keep picking til they're gone, and the compulsion departs for another year.

I also was trimming along the side fence, and notice I'd missed a few cherries on the bush, and they'd turned a deeper, darker red and gotten bigger. I now thoroughly suspect I picked the bush cherries before they were actually ripe. So next year, I'll wait a bit longer to start pulling those in. They still worked really well in the jam, though.

4. compulsive? No. Kind? Yes

I didn't realize it was compulsive...

I don't think so at all. After all, you give most of it away after you process it.

5. Well, as I said, we have to, or we'd be even fatter than we are.

But I need to find some good shipping boxes and padding. If we really do end up with so much, I'm probably going to end up mailing a lot more this year.

6. big salad with fruit (berries and sliced apples) and feta crumbles

some Italian bread and butter. Just too hot to cook.
