What's for Dinner, Sat., Oct. 5, 2019

We had a late lunch of crab meat quiche, two types of salads (chopped salad and also coleslaw), grilled sausages with red pepper sauce, and the last of the apple pie with walnuts for dessert. Over the top of the pie, a spoon of vanilla caramel gelato. My new chamomile tea (loose leaf) came in, so I had to test that out.

I worked several hours re-vamping my crab meat quiche recipe. I made one the other day and decided I wanted to try it again with a few changes. This time I used spinach.

I bought new tea in loose form instead of bags because of a new report that's out that says tea bags put microplastics in your system.

Only plastic teabags do that. Most tea bags are made of paper, not plastic. nt tblue37 Oct 2019 #1

a kombucha brewery with a restaurant/bar. My husband and I had "Bucha burgers" that had bacon jam and swiss on them, and our son had poutine. We shared a charcuterie plate, my husband had a dirty martini and I had a kombucha flight. All quite tasty, and the fresh kombucha is so much better than bottled supermarket brands. And so many places here have vodka as the default liquor in a martini, nice to see a place that assumes you'll have gin.

He is Hungarian and his mom still cooks mostly Hungarian dishes-though she calls them Americanized. She has lived in America for 50 yrs. At 86 she is a master!
We had pork roast and fried (and baked) chicken legs as the meat. So tender! Pasta pilaf with mushroom gravy, baby carrots and corn. A cuke salad with lots of paprika and Hungarian fruit cake and cookies.
I made a chocolate and peanut butter desert called Spider Web Munch. Post that separate. It’s real tasty! Easy to do - even with a broken wrist! Lol.
