with a mushroom risotto and roasted Brussels sprouts.

Made a run to my local Winco this morning, and restocked a lot of bulk items (spices, rice, pasta, etc). I'm ready for the zombie apocalypse...

over mashed potatoes, green beans from my garden, Caesar salad, lemon mousse with raspberry sauce (we have company).

My neighbor gave me some of her grape tomatoes and basil. I got small round mozzarella balls, quarted them, cut the tomatoes in half, slivered the basil put every thing on top of the hot just cooked bowtie pasta, slid it under the broiler for 2 min to melt the cheese....Mm mmm. Italian bread & garlic oil.

with dilled cream cheese and cucumber on ciabatta. And borscht. A dinner of a couple of my son's favorites.

with coleslaw, fresh pickled beets, corn on the cob from Olathe, sliced peaches from Palisade with ice cream.
