what's for dinner - saturday, july 12th

[fizzgig]

pork butt is about to go on the smoker here. rubbed it down last night with brown sugar, garlic powder and salt, paprika, chili powder and mustard powder and am smoking with a mix of apple and mesquite. i'll put together some tater salad and bbq sauce later. i'm also toying with the idea of a loaf of no-knead bread to go with it.

i'm excited to see how it turns out.

happy weekend

1. sounds delish ... going to a wedding so I am not

sure what we will be eating ....

[fizzgig]

2. enjoy the wedding

congrats to the couple.

3. Wow! That sounds very ambitious

And delicious! I'm throwing out a quarter of the penne and Alfredo. It maybe years before I do that again. Cooking for one is a chore.

6. it's a matter of patience

something i can lack at times but i have nothing else to do today, so i might as well do this dinner right

cooking for one can be a chore, i know. i ate a lot of sandwiches and cereal when i lived alone.

11. I like to play in the kitchen

At my leisure. I don't like being under pressure to produce dinner every night. My friend has a 35 y/o son who still asks her what's for dinner every night. At least I have the option of just opting out and snacking.

15. You know that TV ad of a kid and his dad alternately staring into the open refridgerator?

LOL. I do that a lot.

[pinto]

4. Have a good one. Sounds good.

5. Sage & thyme chicken sausage, rigatoni, sauteed mushrooms, smothered in a marinara, basil, oregano.

I'm making enough to have quick leftovers for the soccer final tomorrow. It'll only be 9 AM my time, but I'm fine with a mid-morning left over dinner dish.

7. sounds tasty

enjoy!

8. First local corn on the cob of the season for us!

Also first time trying locally-raised pork spare ribs. And broccoli and cukes from the back yard.
I love when it's Market Day. The rest of the week it's spaghetti, rice and leftovers.

[fizzgig]

9. i was up early enough i should have gone to the market

we should be seeing our local corn just about now, too.

enjoy your tasty dinner!

12. I've been through leftover hell

This week. Yours don't sound bad at all.

13. I played in the pool most of the day...

so it was something quick and easy. Sloppy joes and salad. Haven't had them a quite some time.

[fizzgig]

20. i haven't had sloppy joes in forever

maybe i'll get the fixings next time i go to the store.

[locks]

14. Leftovers

Mixed baked potato, fresh corn off the cob, and fresh cooked spinach.
Sprinkled cheese on top. Not bad.

[fizzgig]

21. sounds good to me

corn on the cob would have been perfect tonight.

16. Ham steak

Mac n' cheese, and mustard greens.

[fizzgig]

22. yum!

17. heat wave here in the pacific northwest

Five more days in the 90s!

Tonight, shrimp salad, corn on the cob, cucumber salad, watermelon. Marionberries with cream for later.

Tomorrow, farmers market! My favorite day of the week. I'll be buying berries galore, some fresh basil, and whatever else strikes my fancy. Maybe nectarines.

[fizzgig]

23. i am thinking about going to the market tomorrow

i haven't been for a bit.

bummer about the heat. we were in the 90s more often than not the last few weeks, but cool and rainy today.

the pork turned out perfectly and i am stuffed

[laundry_queen]

18. Salad from the garden

boy is the romaine beautiful...so we're going to eat it before it gets eaten by other bugs (why oh why didn't I buy floating row covers).

Oh, and some leftovers from the restaurant we went to last night. Mostly pasta.

[fizzgig]

24. i love a good salad

and am jealous of the fresh lettuce.

[Jazzgirl]

19. Sounds extremely yummy!

I've been under the weather. I fixed egg drop soup earlier. Made humus last night and tuna salad and will get a piece of toast and spread it with humus and tuna and munch down. My appetite started coming back last night.

[fizzgig]

25. it was great

sorry you haven't been feeling well. get better soon.
