I made a salad for dinner tonight too.
My daughter said that certain places, not here though are having salmonella issues with cucumbers. I love cucumbers!

I was gifted a family sized can of maple baked beans (from my sister's MIL's pantry, expired so they couldn't be donated). How to use so many sweet, sweet beans?
I added in a handful of cooked great northern beans, some onions, green peppers, a sausage and a diced sweet potato, and to balance all that sweetness a good amount of smokey chipotle pepper. I'm licking my bowl!

Greek here tonight. Roasted rack of lamb, roasted eggplant, wilted cucumber salad with sour cream, cherry tomatoes. If I ate more carbs I would serve rice or quinoa with it.

I've been reading about making yogurt in the instant pot and my last litre of Greek yogurt was almost finished so I figured why not give it a try - oh my, it was so easy and it's economical too, I may never buy yogurt again!

The peaches are coming to the supermarket with lower prices every week so I'm going to can a few, I'm putting them in 250 ml jam size jars because I tend to not want to eat more than that all at once. Things are so expensive at my local store so I'm looking for ways to economize (because I'm cheap like that)

I lined my colander with coffee filters Riverdale. If I get into doing this I might get one of those washable mesh filters, I have a small mesh sieve but it's not nearly big enough.

I am making angel hair pasta and meatballs. I will probably add cheese on it as well served with a side dish of veggies.

we got a dozen steamed crabs yesterday, finished them up today with enough extra for hubs to make cream of crab soup. Also fresh corn on the cob and "red beet eggs", or pickled eggs if you call them that,, LOL

Been enjoying salads for a while but it's cooler here today so I made some chicken soup and am poaching some sole in a very light tomato sauce. I think it will end up being a tomato fish stew/soup which is fine with me. Making hay while R is away. It wouldn't be enough for him.

Pan fried salmon, tartar sauce, roasted patty pan squash, apple cole slaw, R had sauteed leeks as well. It all worked well together. Tea and a cookie for dessert.

Turkey necks and sauerkraut with caraway, and red cabbage, apple and onion fritters with sour cream.

nacy - lasagna is always yum. I hear you about the sink full of dishes. Finally did mine.

peasuep - sounds good. Kale is so healthy for you.

I have been playing around with making sourdough for the last couple of months and I have to say I'm glad I didn't have the internet last time I was into bread making, the amount of complicated steps and advice is a real turn off. I'm danged sure the old "sourdoughs" (prospectors) weren't weighing their ingredients and autolyzing their mixture or stretching and folding every 30 minutes, and I'm determined to succeed at making a simple loaf without all the extra BS.

cw - do you make your own starter? I agree it can't have been a complicated process before. I found a gluten and dairy free sourdough bread - not great but not bad. Sourdough used to be a fave of mine.

I had a terrible time keeping my starter alive so I borrowed some from my niece-in-law (is there such a word, 🤔?). I seldom buy or eat loaf style bread and can easily make sourdough flat breads like naan, but I want to master that classic sourdough loaf, just because..

Tonight, fried egg sandwiches because I’ve been working on the Redwoods and time got away from me.
cwillie, if you can master a real San Francisco style sourdough you will be a very popular person indeed!

Golden23, Turkey necks!
My grandmother used to fill her plate with the chicken necks and wing tips. She said it was because they had the best flavor but I suspect it was because she had 8 kids and those were the only parts left!

nacy - donut days are long gone for me but apple cider donuts sound good!

Psue - Turkey necks are browned first and covered with sauerkraut then baked till they fall apart, Apparently an old German recipe. I also add caraway seeds. Sig other R loves them. His mother and German grandmother (on father's side who added caraway) made them. I haven't been able to find a recipe online but figured it out, I like them too. They have good flavour.

Otherwise turkey necks are good for soup.

Cwillie, well, how was it?

nacy, a local nursery sells hot cider donuts every year and they are DIVINE! I must have one - only one - every year, or I will die of longing.

golden23, NOT a sauerkraut fan myself but it was a staple on my mom’s table when she was growing up. My husband’s too.
Just curious, do you make homemade egg noodles in ‘oxtail’ broth (which I’m pretty sure was just plain old cow tail)? How about what my grandma called ‘cornmeal mush’ sliced and fried in bacon grease? Swoon.

Dinner has arrived late, delivery from the market.
There was a long delay, so I started cancelling the $104.00 order down to $39.00.

Deli fried chicken with hot potato wedges.

Wait, that wasn't them, where is dinner?

Psue - I am gluten and dairy allergic so my food choices are limited. Can't eat high fodmaps foods either and I eat low carb or I gain weight rapidly. I could win a contest for weight gain. So no noodles, home made or otherwise. My mother was Norwegian so the German foods are foreign to me, but sauerkraut and turkey neck seemed easy and they are foods I can eat. I do like a good oxtail soup. Never had fried cornmeal mush. Sort of sounds like the Scottish fried porridge. They used to have a porridge drawer in the kitchen Left overs were tipped into the drawer to "set" then later pieces were sliced off and fried, Never had it, but heard about it. Come to think of it polenta is cornmeal and you can fry it. I've had that.

send - hope you got your dinner finally.
