What's for Dinner, Sat., Aug. 10, 2019

[NJCher]

Homemade potato salad, sammich on brioche roll (probably roast beef, topped with relish), and dessert will be lemon bar gelato with a tea biscuit.

Was I ever mad when I went to my herb garden and found something had eaten every bit of parsley. Yes! Bitten off and the stems all sticking up with no leaves. Grrrr. I wanted that parsley for my potato salad.

Maybe I have a backup at the community garden.

3. Linguine alfredo with shrimp and crab

roast asparagus, and tiramisu for dessert. My birthday supper - there's maybe two restaurants (in a metro area of 170,000 - !) that I consider good enough to be worth the money for a celebration meal, so I'm cooking it myself. That way I know the quality of the ingredients and the prep!

I'm also bringing treats to church tomorrow. Turtle brownies, regular brownies, and coconut macaroons for the gluten-intolerant congregant. The custard for the tiramisu only used egg yolks, so I used the whites and some coconut I've been needing to use for the macaroons.

8. Happy birthday, Cairycat!

Your observation about the scarcity of good restaurants is something I've thought about often. The explosion of chain restaurants around the country has diminished the number of privately owned and operated eateries where one could find unique cooking and dining experiences rather than cookie-cutter commonalities.

On a recent visit to eastern Maryland, our restaurant choices were Olive Garden, TGIFridays, Applebees, Ruby Tuesdays and the like. Ugh.

I'm sure your dinner was delicious, that your fellow parishioners will enjoy the treats and that you'll have many more birthdays to come.

10. Nice to think of those who can't eat gluten...I am a celiac and always appreciate this.

Happy Birthday...love tiramisu. It all sound great.

4. Quiche, green salad

Quiche with sautéed mushrooms, onions, garlic, kale, red peppers, summer squash and sun-dried tomatoes, green salad, homemade ginger-lemon water, and for dessert later, the last piece of blueberry/lemon crumb coffee cake.

6. Lo mein

I stir fried chicken and veggies, then added two packages of udon noodles softened in boiling water plus a slug of Trader Joe’s Soyaki sauce.

7. Andouille & Shrimp "Pastalaya",

And cornbread baked in a cast iron skillet.

The cornbread is a Chile Pepper Magazine recipe, the pasta from Louisiana Cookin' magazine

Our neighbors in the mountains came by for dinner and my brother is visiting so we had an outdoor dinner next to the fire pit.

11. I made gluten free on a shoestring's two ingredient pizza dough-mushrooms and Whole Foods homemade

Chicken sausage for me... and Pineapple and ham for hubs... I used Whole Foods shredded part skim mill mozzarella to top the pizza and it was the best pre-grated cheese I ever ate. We had grapes to go with the pizza and for dessert.
