What's for Dinner, Mon., Aug. 11, 2014

[NJCher]

Getting ready to leave for class.

I have in mind a cauliflower curry soup when I get home.

If cbayer sees this, my question is: I steamed my cauliflower to the point where it was done. Now I am afraid to roast it as it will be over-done. Better not try the recipe for the mayo parmesan topping, right?

That's why I'm thinking the cauliflower curry soup instead.

Next time I will be more careful to only steam for a short time.

1. 102 here today!!

No cooking that involves heat. Close up all the windows and turn on the fans.

I have some very good corned beef and some swiss cheese and some rye bread

Also delicious Red Top peaches, watermelon, blueberries, blackberries, and so on. So a fruit plate seems in order.

Maybe some sliced kirby cukes and sweet onion slices marinated in vinegar sugar water like grandma used to make.

2. I have a chicken roasting in a clay cooker

slathered with curry paste, miracle whip and lemon juice. Side salad.

I'm excited - I'm within a 1/4 cup of finishing the first of the three free jars of miracle whip I got earlier this year. This is huge!

On the cauliflower, I know you didn't ask me, but roasting an already cooked vegetable doesn't seem like a good idea to me - the soup sounds like a much better plan!

3. Hamburger on a pretzel bun.

Salad, I guess. Can't get excited about vegetables today.

4. Some chicken drumettes seasoned with

Fox point seasoning (Penzey's), garlic powder and a touch of berbere seasoning. An arugula salad will follow.......

5. Blackened catfish.

Along with RiceARoni rice pilaf. My guilty pleasure.

I was going to grill some veggies along with, then was too lazy to go to the grocery store.

8. I'm a day behind, but this is what we will have tonight.

Antipasti - Melon and Proscuitto

Primo - Pasta with fresh tomato sauce

Secondo - Eggplant stuffed with sausage

And leftover fruit crumble if we have any room left at all!

How did the cauliflower work out? I think you could still roast it after steaming, but the soup idea is great, too.

It's hard to ruin cauliflower, imo.
