We had spaghetti with meat sauce. The sauce was made from farm-fresh tomatoes! What are you serving tonight?

Oh that looks amazing. Where was my invite?

 

[Andy M.]

We had SV chicken breast, pilaf and petite peas (because SO has to have peas with pilaf. AND she mixes them in).

 

[Marlingardener]

I made pork Lo Mein for the first time for dinner tonight. I need to tweak the recipe a bit, but it was pretty good.

 

[medtran49]

Langoustines from Wild Fork over spaghetti with a garlic, onion, lemon butter sauce, and some asparagus. They were sweeter and much more tender than comparable size shrimp.

 

[cjmmytunes]

We had pepperoni pizza and peach cups for supper tonight. I had some dark chocolate squares for afters.

He was the cook.

 

[GinnyPNW]

It is hot, miserable with smoke from all the fires (not too near us)...so, we're having salads with homemade 1000 and some shrimp cocktail too.

 

[dragnlaw]

and we all know the cook is never invited to the table!
at least not right away.
Only after the guest of honour has eaten, she may or may not invite the chef, and again, only if, of course, he offers to also do the dishes, give a neck massage, foot massage AND promise to do the laundry/vacuuming, grass cutting for the next week.

Last piece of cod from the freezer, griddled in bacon fat with a shower of tarragon and a spritz of lemon, potatoes and zucchini oven roasted.

 

[msmofet]

I had a store bought fried chicken breast, corn on the cob, and a sliced tomato for dinner. Cake for dessert.

Devil's food box cake, strawberry preserves in between layers, chocolate fudge frosting topped with white chocolate chips.

 

[Jusa]

Found some fresh cod at Earth Fare for $9 a pound. Got a pound and we had beer battered cod sandwiches with fresh lettuce from the garden and creamy tartar sauce slathered on toasted buns (i froze 1/4 lb for something else).

No pics, too hungry!

i also made fried pickle chips because I had extra batter and I hate waste. Good thing no blood work for another month or i'd be in trouble with my doctor lol!

 

[taxlady]

We ordered burgers.

A crunchy romaine and onion salad with blue cheese dressing and a bowl of this spicy rice.

I didn’t have green pepper or peas so I used minced celery, carrot and frozen corn. I didn’t sweat the vegetables in oil. I put everything directly into the pot, minus the oil, and simmered it covered on low for 13 minutes. Rest covered, off heat, for ten minutes before fluffing and serving.

This is spicy HOT!

I served it with chunky salsa and a dollop of sour cream to balance the heat.

Definitely a keeper!

I had never heard of Nando's. I had to look it up.

Looks like a nice recipe!

Cacio e Pepe 🫠

Cook’s Notes:
For a povera dish, my word the guanciale was $$$! And the pecorino romano is always pricey here. I think that since this has become a very on-trend dish in recent years, it really is only “povera” in name. Especially since it has been a few years since I made this meal last.

MrJade was unwell so I had the chance to make this, as he doesn’t like the simplicity of it. He much prefers a big hearty ragu with pasta.

 

[HeyItsSara]

we bbq'd. lamby sliders with homemade buns, grilled zucchini, and grilled red onion kabobs.
