What's for Dinner ~ Saturday May 11th

[Lucinda]

Not sure...but I made a big pot of 16 bean soup for Friday's dinner - so that probably will factor in somehow. Maybe with some sauteed kale and fresh bread...


You? ♥

1. Right now, I'm thinking a burger with Cheddar and chipotle salsa on a good onion bun...

... with a huge side of frozen white corn (I like C&S) with unsalted butter and lime juice.

Brown rice with mushrooms and herbs (I dunno, maybe some onion too), and some sautéed chard with lemon.

4. Leftover spare ribs and corn on the cob.

Unfortunately, the corn isn't local. Waaayyy too early!

5. Doing cornmeal breaded catfish nuggets, deep fried.

Sides of fresh coleslaw and french fries. Kids choice tonight.

7. very casual tonight

Salmon and egg salad on pumpernickel bagel.

Coleslaw (no mayo, though, vinegar dressing).

I'm also making my own beet juice tonight. I've read that it brings down blood pressure by about 10 points if one drinks 8 oz. a day.

Supposed to mix it with apple juice or pear juice (or both) because of the oxalic acid content. I just love doing stuff like this.

8. Beet juice tastes fantastic

when you mix in carrot juice and parsley

[NJCher]

9. thanks for the tip!

I'll try it tomorrow. I even have some stuff growing in my garden that's a cross between parsley and celery. It's called par-cel.

But the carrot juice I'll have to buy.

I am sipping my beet juice now, having combined it with apple juice and I find it quite delicious...and very pretty!

10. I would bet that par-cel would taste

wicked good juiced into the beet carrot combo. enjoy!

14. my husband recently started juicing

i'll grab him a bunch next time i'm at the store.

15. an fyi

I don't know if your husband is seeking to lower his blood pressure, so this might not be of interest. I thought I'd post it anyway, as so many people have a bit of a blood pressure problem.

I bought three large beets for $2 at my Korean greengrocer. This made three 8 oz. glasses of beet juice.

The price for beet juice bottled was $8, so as you can see, this was a considerable savings--$4 a serving for the bottled vs. 66 cents per serving by making my own.

Another thing I'm going to do is add 1 tsp. cayenne to my homemade tomato juice. I always have fresh tomatoes around and love to make my own tomato juice with my favorite herbs, mostly marjoram or oregano.

Cayenne is known to lower blood pressure fairly quickly--within a week, some sources say. I don't know, as I haven't tried it but a friend has reported that it works.

11. Early mother's day dinner since my wife works tomorrow night..

Made Alfredo with shrimp, dungeness crab and lobster mushrooms... knocked it outta the park!

[pinto]

12. Had left over sausage/peppers/onions in a red sauce over bowtie pasta. Added some sauteed mushroom.

Craving a cinnamon/pecan roll. That'll be the AM mission.

13. tuna salad

made a six-can batch tonight, which will keep us fed for a couple of days. i'm baking a loaf of bread tomorrow and there's my lunch for monday

[KC]

16. That's

a lot of tuna!! There's nothing better
than tuna salad! My moms has always
been a favorite of mine but it never tastes the same when I make it!

18. my husband can kill two cans in a sitting

he does manual labor and it's tough to keep up with his appetite.
