@Dejah I like the sound of shrimp stock over beer in the dish and even though I'm a chick pea lover, potatoes sound more traditional. Looks like a lovely dish. Good crusty bread to sop up the broth kinda dish @scamhi those meals look really good. I'm always glad to be home eating my food after a vacation

Got some coarse stone ground grits from Bradley's country store in Tallahassee a few years ago that have been vacuumed sealed in the freezer. Never used them much due to the time needed to prepare them. Tonight used the pot in pot method with my pressure cooker to cook the grits. Worked very well. Wife hates shrimp so pared them with Patagonian scallops

Picked up some kohlrabi and beets the other day. Used the kohlrabi tops the day before but needed to get to the beets. Made a beet salad with chick peas, celery and carrots. Of course everything is colored pink but tasty. Served with grilled chicken thighs Dessert was chocolate mousse and berries

In shorts

Cooked on the grill. Not that it’s a zillion degrees exactly but because it was outside where the grill is so I guess almost the same. But I’m in west central Fla. Tampa Bay where humidity rules and a breeze is always appreciated Chicken thighs with a cool beet garbanzo salad. We did eat indoors

I'm a big fan of a little shrimp stock in my shrimp dishes. No shell goes to waste without giving up some flavor

Absolutely true

Those fries looks amazing. Well all of it does, but those fries hit my carb buttons hard.

My pics are also by iPhone

Leftover tenderloin with black beans, rice and kohlrabi greens

Nothing to be proud of there. Shaking head in disbelief.

True, but the weight is distributed over a wider area so the load is not the same

Seared cobia with a lot of leftovers

Unrelated to food. Ocular lubricants with rosacea may help make you a happier person

Here in central west coast Florida everyone has AC. Just heated my oven to 400f to make oven fries yesterday. Didn’t give it a second thought. Again air conditioners are in every home. Gone are the days of the breeze ways of my youth

I forget some folks don’t have AC. Unheard of where I live these days

Burgers and home fries for dinner

Those peaches looks soooo good.

Those eggs look so good.

Dont use recipes per se. 1 box frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed of liquid 1/2 onion diced fine. 1-2 garlic cloves diced fine, dash of dried oregano, 2 beaten large eggs. 1/2 cup shredded cheese. What ever you like. I used Munster and cheddar fry onions and garlic till soft. Add to other ingredients and mixed well. Bake in 275 oven till lightly browned a little on top and cooked through. 30-40 min

Picked up amberjack and Cobia at my local fishmongers after work today. Tonight was amberjack with spinich pie

A good apple brandy can be a joy to sip. Emphasis on good

What ever gets you through the night

Tenderloin with a corn medley

Nice and light. Perfect for a hot evening. But this is from someone who will burn my oven in the summer in Florida. That's what's AC is for
