Pizza

After a day’s hard migraine, Hubby stepped in with a late evening supper. A pickup (grocer’s freezer and own ingredient add-ons) quadruple cheese (and mushrooms and spinach on thin-crust multigrain) pizza for serotonin pick-up.

Peanuty Beans

Chopped spinach, artichoke ribbons pasta topped with gingers tofu, and green beans tossed in a sauce of thai spices, chopped peanuts, peanut butter, plum sauce, oil and water.

This Kebab-erated Post

Prepping the veggies and fruits for the flames for a cookout with friends.

Threaded on skewers: potato, asian pear, onion, zucchini, mushroom, something something, tomato.

mushroom, zucchini, cilantro in onion, apple, banana, water chestnut.

And on the coals, roasted corn.

Lemon Meringue Pie

Pie shell with lemon pie mix, shifted by using 1/2 a lemon replacing some of the cold water for more tartness and a 3rd yolk instead of only 2.

Using 3 whites instead of the 2 for meringue.

Wrapper and Roll

A variation on vietnamese summer rolls, sorta. Rice paper wrapped around veggies and herbs.

Onion, celery, orange bell pepper, basil, rosemary and thyme herbs on rice wrapper.

From pantry, bottle, fridge and garden

Simple and good. Our 13 year wedding anniversary.

At Xpresso Cafe

What’s better than a blueberry scone?

Add the good conversation and company that came along, and some berry herbal tea…

…and slow unwind time in sunshine.

Good breakfast start of week.
