What's for Dinner - Wednesday Aug 1st

(Pasta salad done simple, with cukes, squash, red onions, olive oil & red wine vinegar, spices.)

Hope you're doing well Lucinda.

I've been doing soup and plain tortillas for a few days and I want fooood!

Nice rotisserie chicken and lots of produce. Will be doing a lot of cooking for the next week or two.

Hope you are feeling better, Lucinda.

One thing gets better and then the other one acts up. I must have really been E V I L in a past life!

I havent been out to eat in forever...and I have a great gift cert to use!

I knocked myself out and we haven't dined yet--my spouse is not yet home from the airport, having flown in from Denver. Has been in airports since 6 a.m. but with all the thunderstorms, lots of delays and lost luggage. But he's at the wine store now!

I wanted to use those heirloom tomatoes I picked from my garden for my salad. When it came time to chop them for the salad, I nearly burst into tears. They were so ugly! Now it is not as if I haven't grown heirlooms before: I have grown them for years.

Nevertheless, I chopped them up, along with a Campari tomato from the store. Then I tasted mine and the Campari. WOW~! The taste on mine was unbelievable!! I was so happy.

Well, time to dine! He just drove up!

In fact, there's a tomato grown in Florida that isn't allowed to be sold out of state simply because it is ugly! Delicious, but ugly.

I'd hate to spend that much time in airports, but I'm sure coming home makes up for it! ♥

i just got home and don't feel much like cooking. i have a couple tomatoes that need eating, maybe a tomato sandwich is in order.

I really do love tomato sandwiches!

it was from my sister's garden, it's her first garden and i'm blown away by what's she's getting out of it.

and have great luck with tomatoes and peppers. Great yields and the flavor is sooooo much better than store bought!

Homemade tortillas, fried in olive oil and drained. I make up refried beans in large batches, frying with olive oil and freezing them in portions suitable for a dinner for two--in this case, two dinners for two. Chopped onion and salsa in the burger, shredded romaine lettuce, sliced cherry tomatoes, salsa, non-fat yogurt, and shredded cheddar cheese.

With toasted French bread. Carpal tunnel acting up and this is just so easy to put together. I didn't decide to cook until 5:45 and had dinner ready by 6:10PM. Best pantry soup ever! (providing you have fresh ginger, garlic, and cilantro in the veggie drawer of your refrigerator).
