What's for Dinner, Wed., July 26, 2017

[NJCher]

It could very well be a can of Pringles (cheddar cheese flavor) and an English toffee candy bar, since the RG worked so hard on felling a dead tree this morning. Prol’ly won’t feel like cooking after all that.

I’m at work and that’s all I had time to grab at the drugstore on the way here.

1. Pringles and a candy bar?

Finally - a meal I can replicate!

7. I'm shocked, shocked!

...to find junk food in this establishment!

I made swordfish from my fave Cooks Illustrated recipe, with green beans AND asparagus, and potato salad, all with the same dressing/marinade, of olive oil, lemon juice, thyme and garlic.

2. I no longer feel like the poor cousin.

I'm just kidding.

I got back an hour ago from doing an outdoor band setup and drank Gatorade (lemon-lime) and ate a little macaroni salad (Kroger). I have to go back in about an hour so I don't feel like eating much.

When I return around 10, I'll have some leftovers, perhaps some Jambalaya or spaghetti and meat sauce. I'll be hot and tired so no cooking or prep for me.

3. Caribbean Beef Lettuce Wraps...

is what I made and left for the spouse. I am going out with friends and will probably order a salad because it's too damn hot to eat.

4. Pork chops on grill

Field peas
Mixed greens
Corn bread sticks from ground corn meal I got at mill with buttermilk a week out of date. But it's butter milk, how can it be out if date?
Chopped vadellia onion

5. Yum. I'm lazy in soupy Georgia today but needed to use up a couple things.

My husband upset what uninspired plans I had by bringing bass filets home, so I tossed the last of the potatoes, some bacon and butter (yes, I know, but the broth and leftovers is why I take a fancy to make this once or twice a year), fresh thyme, bay leaf, pepper and chicken broth in a pot to simmer. Last of the green beans on top to steam in the last minutes. Sauteing felt like too much trouble too, which is pretty bad!, so I dropped the fish in some of the broth that was just sitting there. Sliced tomatoes with a little garlic and pepper. I don't mind admitting this since we actually ended up enjoying it. He prefers his fish sauted, though, just so I know.

6. It has cooled down, but after hours of yard work...starting to come together, I am too tired to cook

we are having leftovers. Marinated grilled London broil, yellow potatoes with skins on and a fruit salad...store bought cookies for desert.
