What's for Dinner - Wednesday Aug 8th

Hey Lucinda! Stepped in to start this.

Cold plate this warm afternoon - Sliced roast beef w/horseradish, potato salad, cottage cheese, tomatoes w/basil, black olives, cold tea w/oranges.

Fixing a left over chicken/corn/mushroom creamed soup for later, when it cools down. Rye toasts on the side. Watermelon cubes to finish.

and some new olive oil from Trader Joes -- a grassy California variety. They had oil made from Greek kalamata olives that was tempting me, but it was $3 more, so I went for the California stuff.

Beautiful, beautiful weather here. Mid 70s. Ahhhhh.

The genius made it with a rub that he invented himself.

The dessert was unusual: peaches, for which he made a syrup. He baked them and they had feta cheese on top. Sounds weird, yes? It was fantastic!!
