What's for Dinner, Tues., Aug. 21, 2018

[NJCher]

Tuna salad with basil, cucumber, and tomatoes. I'm glad the RG managed to make it earlier, as we both worked outdoors most of the day and are too tired to cook now.




The salad is beautiful, as it is made with one of my heirlooms that is red and gold: Mr. Stripey. They are so pretty! He sliced them and put them in a ring around the plate. Then in the center is tuna, which is mixed with some of my garden-fresh celery, chopped onions, a little Cubanelle, and hard-boiled eggs. Also from the garden, a fresh cucumber and basil.

We'll have low-carb herb & salt seeded crackers with it. I like to put a little olive oil "butter" on mine.

My drink tonight is a mixture of prosecco and pomegranate juice. I think he's just drinking sparkling water.

Blueberries and watermelon for dessert.

6. Ham and Swiss cheese sandwich

We baked a ham TJ bought at 99 cents per pound on Saturday.
So, a nice thick slice of ham with brown mustard - no tomatoes or cukes, I had lots of them (too much) for lunch

Mug of Red Zinger tea.

I'm sure I'll need a snack later, so I'll browse the leftovers. I just need to stay away from the tin of brownies.

FLFC is grouchy tonight, so no paws up. It was his 11th birthday yesterday, perhaps he celebrated too hard when I wasn't looking. He had a plate with small pieces of fried chicken, ham and the remnants of one of his mini cheeseburgers. With all this bounty he still insisted on some of my Swiss cheese. He is having a sad as I type this because TJ just left for work.

7. Tortellini

In a garlicky but sweet red sauce. The pasta is stuffed with ital sausage and parm. It was a prepared pasta. I am preparing to go on vaca so not focused on cooking!
Coffee with xtra coconut milk - staying up late tonight.

The tomato pic is great. Love heirloom tomatoes!
