All I know is pasta, and it's going to be those big seashells.

I generally contribute the salad for the meal, so my plan is for grilled beets, feta cheese, and toasted pecans over romaine from my garden.

Dessert will be more of the apple tart, which turned out to be quite delicious.

1. Salmon

The recipe from last Sunday's Times: sauteed and then bathed in a butter and jalapeno sauce. husband saw it and specifically requested it. I'm not a peppers persone, so I'm a tad bit nervous! A rice pilaf and sugar snap peas. And then sherbet. Of course.
We've both decided that the lemon sherbet rules. I will probably try lime next and maybe orange-lemon, but this tart and puckery stuff rocks!

2. Grilled boneless pork chops

We'll make a dry rub and grill them. The broccoli is already marinating and will also be grilled along with sweet potatoes. Orange sherbet for desert. It looks like we'll be able to sit on the deck and light the fire pit while eating and watching the sunset. I love Friday evenings!

3. First time using a boxed Falafel mix.

I will add in parsley, a bit of minced jalapenos, and in some of the falafel sticks, minced roasted red peppers. Pepper sticks on the side.


Cuke onion dill sour cream/yogurt salad to top them. Watermelon cubes.

7. Following the instructions, I felt the mix was too dry, so I added olive oil

The patty I made w/ the jalapeno was ~almost~too hot, but the yogurt/parsley/Berber spiced sauce was great on it. I didn't have any pitas, but I used an Indian bread called Bhatura.

4. Tonight it is hot dogs.

Sat? July 14? Am I confused?

Glad my fellow c & b'ers can work around it.

5. Leftover fresh grilled and smoked tuna casserole from scratch.

Real mushrooms & org sour cream,cheesy base instead of canned soup, fresh dill...like that.. And I'm going to mix some pumpernickel bread (easy crumbs) I have lying around into the topping.

That beet feta pecan salad sounds like it will go great w/. thanks!

6. For me, Friday the 14th...

Smoked oysters and green salad. Saturday the 15th is jambalaya.

8. Salmon and pasta salad

with cucumbers and celery. Nice when it's warm out, though today is pleasant here.

Feta and toasted pecans are also lovely over green beans, with some balsamic vinegar, warm or at room temp.

9. Yum. Here it's grilled, boneless pork ribs also,

just on Saturday; so easy--husband tending to it out on the porch. Have to get rid of some potatoes and feed a craving for rosemary (also to put that big, neglected plant to use), so probably a lemon-rosemary potato salad my husband really likes; that'll be the only cooking for me.

Leftover sauteed green beans. A scant four figs I picked this morning while the next crop develops will probably be baked with some butter, honey, cinnamon, whatever, almost as easy as no cooking at all, which is pretty nice in Georgia's cream-soup summer.
