What's for Dinner, Thurs., Aug. 11, 2016

For an appetizer, I may make a watermelon feta cheese salad.

Green chile pork, which I made in the slow cooker yesterday. It is spicy, with poblano, jalopeno, and serrano peppers in it, as well as chopped tomato and spices like cayenne, cumin, and paprika.

First I will shred the pork, and then put the sauce over it.

3. I made a panini!

I happened to be leafing through an old Cooks' Illustrated, wherein it was discovered that you could duplicate a panini grill with a regular grill pan and a Dutch oven (to weigh the sandwich down). I decided to give it a shot, and it came out nicely! Sadly, my chemo-addled taste buds are still all fablungit, so I have no idea how it actually tasted. I used what I had on hand: thinly-sliced Virginia ham, some American cheese( sad), red bell pepper and tomato, dressed with honey mustard and a touch of Catalina ( sweet things seem to taste best to me these days).
On the bright side, coffee, ginger ale, and cranberry juice taste good. I may work up to my celebratory Pina Colada tomorrow! I have the little umbrellas and everything.

4. Brunswick stew. I made it without pork (or squirrel), just

used chicken that I had cooked until it fell off the bone. Sauteed onion, garlic, celery, green pepper in olive oil, then added redskin potatoes, lima beans, corn and homegrown tomatoes. Add a bit of tomato paste and red-wine vinegar. Cook until it gets thick as a stew. It's a southern tradition and there are many variations. It's almost always available at BBQ restaurants.
