I think I'll tap into some of the meals the RG made for me so I can get a lot more work done today. Trouble is, he didn't label them, so they are a surprise!
Not that I'm complaining, of course.
Aside from that, I am making a tossed salad with endive, radicchio, and ruffled green lettuce. Also some chopped cantalope with grapes.

(2,302 posts)I have shingles and comfort food is definitely the order of the day. I thought about Lipton's and then realized that the homemade kind is not really that much work. I do the traditional Jewish kind, but the market was out of parsnips....it'll still be good.

(9,827 posts)of meat and potatoes, and almost no vegetables, we are having a dinner of sauteed greens, field peas, cornbread, garden tomatoes, and maybe steamed red potatoes. Can't wait.
The smoke from wildfires was really bad, except for 1-1/2 days after a cool front came through. It was still beautiful and, having been there before, we know how it is supposed to look. The Flathead cherries and apricots were in season as well as huckleberries. We ate tons and wish we had gotten some of the apples that were coming in as we were leaving.
We ate a couple of times at a place that serves upscale tacos and locally produced craft beers and both tacos and brews are outstanding.

(2,016 posts)I finished up any leftovers for lunch today, and want to get at the lettuce before it goes brown. So a big-ol' salad will be on the table tonight. I'm making a different version of a cu-sabi dressing. I think I'll skip the mayo on this one, and amp up the Wasabi by 2x. If it's too thick as a dressing, I'll thin it using 1/2-n-1/2.
1 cup cucumber -- seeded and chopped
***1 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise***
1 clove garlic -- minced
½ teaspoon Wasabi
2 tablespoons flat-leaf (Italian) parsley -- minced
1 tablespoon scallions minced
1 cup plain yogurt
FEEDBACK: I just made this, sans the mayo. Yummy! The water given up by the cuke thinned out the Greek yogurt, so no thinning out of the recipe was needed. I did start with 1/2 teas. of Wasabi, tasted it, and for my palette, I added another 1/2 teas.
