What's for Dinner, Sun., Sept. 13, 2015

I've got a pocket of cash and I'm headed to join my girlfriends at the Slavic Festival. There are three going on, and all in the same neighborhood. Here's what's for sale at one of them:

HOT DOGS, HAMBURGERS, ITALIAN SAUSAGE, HOMEMADE SLAVIC SPECIALTIES INCLUDING: PIEROGI, HALUSHKI, STUFFED CABBAGE, HOMEMADE DESSERTS, ICE CREAM, BEVERAGES

So maybe I'll be picking up some cabbage rolls for tonight's dinner. Plus whatever else my pocket will buy.

It's a beautiful day, but the downside of that is there might be so many people I won't find my friends.

that that will be part of dinner. All I know is that the housemate announced that our 'pinterest' board of recipes to try was pretty full and our one of recipes we HAD tried was looking pretty anemic still.

(Let's try this again...)

The Mexican grocery had a sale on fresh rabbit, so why not? With mashed spuds (since there will be gravy) and steamed broccoli.

My backyard neighbors, however, are not amused:

Four years ago a dear friend convinced me that a pet rabbit would enrich my life We no longer eat rabbit and I am amazed how great a pet he is. Quiet, lots of personality and plays well with the cat. When he crosses the bunny rainbow bridge we may try rabbit stew again

I didn't get to go because another friend called me with an emergency. I had to help her out. The trip involved a trip to Nyack, NY, though, and that was very beautiful. No food except for Burger King jalopeno burgers! LOL. Aerows must be wincing.

My friend has helped me out of many rough spots, so it was my pleasure to help her today.

She is in a new business and very stretched for time. I learned her refrigerator has been on the fritz for over 30 days now, and she hasn't had time to harass the refrigerator guy to actually show up. Thus she has had no fresh food for a month--just Burger King and pizzas and stuff like that. I intend to make her some salads and vegetable dishes (also fruit) and take it over in a cooler.

Actually, it's spit roasted chicken on the BBQ.

Dad's potatoes: Baby red potatoes cut into bite size pieces, coated in olive oil, then spices, and roasted.

Maybe some veggies that have been hanging around in the fridge and are getting too close to the expiration date.
