Asian dumpling soup.
Beef with broccoli/garlic stir fry.
Cucumber salad with peanuts. Has mirin in the dressing. I'm using those little Persian cukes and the mandolin to make it.

I think it needed something something...If I make it again I will add some olek sambal to the meat mixture.
I like a little (lot) more heat.
I also added my usual bulb of garlic when the recipe calls for any garlic at all. Kapow.

Home-made tomato sauce with basil and garlic. Anchovies, onions and green peppers. Very fresh mozzarella cheese chunks.
Spinach salad.
No dessert.
Early to bed because I have to play piano in the early morning.
Have a good night, everyone!

Mine with deli mustard on a potato bun.
Pasta Salad for a side.
I'll have tea and mandarin oranges later. An Earl Grey decaf I think. I'm sure there are some cookies too.
FLFC had his yucky medicine quickly followed by fake bacon treats. He is much happier doing it that way.
He then had his slider with no bun or condoments. He seems to be feeling better tonight and ate with gusto. He has left to "help" TJ get ready for work so I don't have his rating for the dinner.

(17,431 posts)He'll do a riff and I'll do a variation on it and he often changes his rhythm or pitch to imitate me. Sometimes he gets very perplexed when he can't go as low as me. My neighbors get amused in the summer when the windows are open.
