Cooking & Baking
Related: About this forumWhat's for Dinner, Thurs., Aug. 26, 2021
Since noon I have been working on cooking up the many fresh vegetables from my garden. This should be ready for dinner: Soup au Pistou using a recipe from Taste of Home's summer cookbook. I added/changed some items, though. No canned beans--I used fresh lupinis and green beans. Carrots, onion, celery, cherry tomatoes, garlic, orecchiette, and at the end, I put in sliced zucchini.
The pistou is pretty much just basil pesto without the walnuts. A tablespoon of that goes in the soup after it's poured from the bowl.
I cooked garlic-herb pork sausage from WF in the slow cooker and then cut it into bits. I will add some of that in some situations.
Dessert: cherries.

Wanted to report back on my Brussels sprouts that I cooked in the air fryer. They turned out really well. Nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Various dips or sauces are needed, though, because they get a little boring without that. I used my tahini sauce but wished I'd made a few others.

(21,916 posts)Were sailboat cruising in Long Island Sound and tonight were anchored off of Glen Cove watching the sun slowly sinking and sipping white wine.
Broiled sirloin with fried onions, mushrooms and garlic. Mashed potatoes with a light brown gravy. The steamed broccoli is the last of our fresh veggies so its time to go ashore for provisions.
Tea with lemon and cookies for dessert.
Tomorrow were heading to Port Jefferson.
