1. I fear this is the last of the garden tomatoes---oh, woe is me.

A little salad with the last of the tomatoes and bell peppers. Red potatoes sauteed in butter. Field peas. Turnip greens.

2. Left overs: Bean soup, Garlic Bread

A homemade white bean soup, with ham and plenty of carrots and celery, topped with some shredded sharp cheddar and dark rye bread toasted with garlic butter.

I will be exploring additional courses a little later this evening.

3. Samosas

With the filling taking bits from both the recent New York Times recipe recently discussed here, and the version in one of my favorite cookbooks, Extending the Table. I did two fillings, one with potatoes (and carrots and peas as well) and also one with stew beef and butternut squash. Three adults ate and there are a few left over. They are quite time consuming to make, but they were tasty. It was a lot like making pierogies as far as filling and sealing the pastries.

Here is a link about the cookbook, an oldie but one of my favorites: https://www.amazon.com/Extending-Table-World-Community-Cookbook/dp/083613561X/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1477784677&sr=1-2&keywords=extending+the+table

4. I think I made samosas 20 years ago

Knocked myself out. But they were delicious.

Yours sound terrific--I think I'd reallyg have liked the potatoes, carrots, and peas.

Homemade mozzarella fries for my daughter with carrot sticks and peanut dip for daughter.

7. Dinner party

in Pasadena. The usual suspects were there. The host swore I wouldn't work the menu this time, but in the end - I did. I got grill duty. (Which was just fine, so long as my wine glass was full.)

Anyway, it was grilled marinated flat iron steak, pepperonata, and incaciata (ziti and eggplant "pie&quot , mixed green salad. . A few appetizers on crostini. Lots of good vino, too.
