What is for Dinner, Monday, August 3rd?

[Vanilla Bean]

I am going to have the soup that I didn't make last night. Mark doesn't like mushrooms, so I'm not sure what I'm doing for him yet.

What are you having for supper?

DS gets his wisdom teeth out today so he'll probably have soup with his painkillers. We have enough leftovers of spaghetti so I'll probably bake it with some cheese and have salads for hubby and me.

Home made Chicken Pot Pie for one (I'm finally getting the hang of cooking from scratch for one with a minimum of leftovers or waste.) And I'm using diced turnip in place of potato (a substitution that benefits arthritis sufferers.) I also have a little baguette from last night on which I'll drizzle a little EVOO and sweetened balsamic vinegar.

It's a sunny day. No rain predicted. So I think I'll scrape the rust off the grill and do some burgers.

Thanks, the salsa is:

Red chilli
White onion
Tomatoes
Red & Green pepper
Garlic
Cucumber
Redcurrants
Lemon zest
Lemon juice
Olive oil
Salt & pepper
Sugar

Blended it all together and then put through a sieve. Drizzled a small amount of the liquid on top and decorated with whole redcurrants.

It's 20.49 at the moment so yeah evening time for me

Although I did taste the salsa and it was amazing I didn't eat the meal as I'm on a diet My fiancee assures me it was very tasty and is asking for another plateful

I bet that salsa would be great on fish too or along side some grilled or breaded shrimp! Yum Yum!


I'm making Mark a chicken, potato, vegetable chowder. There is not a recipe. Something I'm throwing in the crock-pot. We'll see how it turns out.

Leftovers from last night, see tequila taco chicken thread. Chicken is gone, so will just brown some hamburger and do regular tacos, using some of the sauce in the meat.

Happy Birthday to you, msmofet!!

Like I said there is not a recipe. I put one chicken breast, 1 peeled/diced potato, chicken bouillon, garlic powder, italian seasoning, black pepper and 1 can evaporated milk in the crock-pot right now. The chicken breast was frozen, so I'll turn down the temp later to low. I'm also adding diced onion, carrot and celery. I started those in the oven, because they tend to take longer to cook.

I should have started this earlier. Now, I have to improvise. When the vegies are just about tender, I'll add them to the slow cooker. To thicken the chowder later, I'll either do that with a little flour or potato flakes.
