My fridge needs to be cleaned out. I don't hope for a power outage though! It's just one of those chores I hate.
Your dinner sounds good!

(146,218 posts)The refrigerators were one of the biggest problem the city had in clean up.
So sorry it happened to you. So glad you got the clean up done.

(22,140 posts)but the power outage caused the breaker that governs the kitchen to trip . So nothing came on there when the power was restored. Our neighbor said it was only out for a couple of hours.

(22,140 posts)We had a French phrase book and I bought a French/English Dictionary, so that helped. Many of the younger people we talked with spoke English. Since neither of us know any French, it was frustrating sometimes.
Here is a website if you'd like to see where we went. We also went to northern New Brunswick and camped at a provincial park. We loved it there, too. Definitely would like to go back one day.

(12,253 posts)Green salad and crusty bread. All served chilled and utterly delicious. I found some gorgeous eggplant at the farmer's market and everyone begs for this classic recipe for sweet/sour eggplant with onion, celery, tomatoes, capers, and pine nuts. Eating light tonight but dining very well.

(35,660 posts)Zucchinis, tomatoes, potatoes, fennel, probably some sage.
Might do some type of topping for a flatbread, probably just garlic/olive oil/herbs.

(50,130 posts)Because the weather is going to be very hot on the weekend, I did some pantry work today. Simmered a big corned beef to have for sandwiches on the weekend. Tonight it will be with home fried potatoes cooked with fresh rosemary and red onion and cracked pepper. On the side, a Russian-style cucumber-radish-sourcream-fresh dill salad and some rye rolls.
I like to cook ahead for a hot weekend, and will be doing that tomorrow.

(24,146 posts)a tomato, corn bread and some graham crackers and milk so far. i cleared out a lot in preparation for the move and haven't had a chance to get to the store yet, so it's just whatever i can find or feel like making.
i'd intended to make the corn bread to go with the chili, but just didn't feel like it until today. i used creamed corn for most of the liquid and added fresh jalapenos and red peppers. tragedy hit when i realized we had only a tiny bit of butter left, but it was moist enough to eat without.
the tomato was the last from my last trip to the farmer's market, a yellow one that was just incredible.
