Dinner tonight...

[MiddleFingerMom]

.
.
.
.
...pre-made stuffed Portobello mushrooms with feta cheese, spinach,
peppers & onions (usually $5... on sale for $2 because tomorrow is
the expiration date -- I wish I had bought EVERY ONE THEY OFFERED),
brussels sprouts with a little Honey French w/Bacon dressing, and
a small caprese salad of tomatoes and fresh mozzarella with fresh
basil and balsamic vinegar in place of the olive oil.
.
.
.
MiddleFingerMom's middle is a happy fellow, indeed.

1. kind of similar "Italian" and vegetarian, but much less healthy

pizza margherita - homemade crust with mozzarella, fresh (garden) tomatoes, garlic, basil, a little Parmesan, olive oil and a sprinkling of kosher salt

tossed green salad/homemade ranch

oh and cornflake crusted deep fried zucchini with homemade ranch dressing for dipping. I know, I know. But we are getting so sick of them, battered and deep fried was the only way anybody would touch them.

2. Forgot that I sprinkled finely-diced chicken breast...

.
.
.
.
.
...on the stuffed mushrooms for the last 2 minutes under the broiler.
.
.
And a little bowl of pumpkin ice cream with fresh raspberries.
.
.
.
.
.
Have you tried zucchini bread? MiddleFingerMomMom used to freeze a
TON of it and that's one thing we NEVER got tired of.

3. have you ever read a recipe for zucchini bread?

sorry, a half cup of shredded zucchini isn't going to put a DENT in the dozens of overgrown gourds weighing an average of 15 lbs apiece!:rofl:

did she freeze a ton of z bread or squash itself? :P

[MiddleFingerMom]

5. Bread... and she also made a ton of Italian zucchini casserole...

.
...and froze THOSE in aluminum foil loaf pans... zuchhini, tomatoes,
spices and mozzarella cheese.
.
.
The neighbors seriously learned to hide and not come to the front door
when they'd see the MiddleFingerKids approaching their houses carrying
heavy paper grocery bags -- the opposite of urchins begging... we were
anxious to GIVE things away (they were fucking HEAVY!!!!!)
.
.
.
Can't the squids design and build a zucchini cannon or something?
.
.
.
One that would shoot off zucchini fireworks or something?
.
.
.
THAT might be something people would PAY to see.

4. My dear MiddleFingerMom!

Oh, now, that sounds wonderful.

I'll bet you did enjoy!

[MiddleFingerMom]

6. I am a happy happy boy.

.
.
.
.
Gonna try to post my poem tomorrow. I was able to
recreate MOST of it and filled in the blanks where
I couldn't remember the original words.
.
.
.
It doesn't feel QUITE ready, but then again... they
NEVER did.
.
.
.
If I waited 'til it was "ready", I'd probably post it
sometime in 2023 -- and the moment I put it out
there would undoubtedly say, "DAMMIT, I shoulda
used THIS word!!!!!"
.

7. I'm glad you're happy!

:hi:

8. Wow. You have premade stuffed portabello mushrooms for sale at your gorcery store? Lucky.

9. Popcorn and a brownie

Washed down with a liter of Diet Coke. I'm going to have to do something about my diet, but it's really hard to eat right out here on the road. Sometimes I'm lucky just to get something that will fill the void.
