@Shelby Is that tomato from your garden? It looks especially "tomato-ey". 

 

It is!!!!!

John has been busy and is once more over scheduling himself so I decided to treat him to some comfort food:  shrimp and pasta.   Reading Melissa Clark's new book so got some frozen tamarind and made him some shrimp pad thai.

I'm off to visit friends this weekend so will make a lasagna for him to eat on while I'm gone as well as some macaroni salad, potato salad and some chicken with vinegar.

Forgot to take pictures but last night I made French Toast with the leftover French Bread from Sunday's dinner.  Topped with strawberries.

[sartoric]

Home style fish curry, baby eggplants, desert dal, lemon rice and paratha. On the side; red onion and dill raita, fresh garlic chutney, hot mango pickle.

[chefmd]

Lovely dry scallops (from Whole Foods) with the side of rice/mixed greens.  Scallops were oh so sweet.

Forgot to take the picture until it was time for seconds, but tonight we had hash made with the leftover potatoes and tri-tip, onions and peas.  Served with salad and toast with the leftover french bread.

The first dinner I've cooked for nearly a month, due to a slight encounter with the medical mob.
 

Lemon and coriander pork with rice and a simple lettuce, mint and tomato salad. The salad was undressed as there was a lot of lemony/oily juice from the pork.

All properly seasoned I suspect?

To perfection. 

[mgaretz]

Pulled pork on the smoker, served with cole slaw and a 2005 Syrah that was past its prime, but still drinkable.

While I can still stand...the last of my recent pesto sauce -- this time with Giuseppe Cocco pasta.  I confess I liked Giuseppe's version better than my own.  Can't say I enjoy raw pasta.  Not being Neapolitan.  Baring results of DNA test, of course.

 

[Thanks for the Crepes]

Peel and eat Argentine Red Shrimp boiled in shells with salt, Old Bay in the water and nothing else. Served with corn on the cob, which was local and very good, with some brussels sprouts. My last local peach for dessert. I must get more of these while the getting is good. This has been the best year for peaches in recent memory, maybe ever!

I was so happy to get back in the kitchen after vacation, I can't even imagine how nice it must have been for you!!!!!!

Leftover stuffed zucchini, sliced and layered into a "new" casserole. The last bit of pork tenderloin pounded out thin and turned into pork piccata, leftover cucumber salad and fresh potato salad.

[Shelby]

Had enough garden tomatoes to make a little batch of sauce.  Heaven.  Over zoodles with venison meatballs.  A bit of ravioli on the side.

 

[liuzhou]

I'm mainly sticking with one pot, minimal prep dishes. as I have little energy after my recent sojourn with the nurses and doctors. So, it's slow cooker land here,  not something I usually use much, especially in summer.
 

Tonight I diced a chicken breast I "discovered" in the freezer and braised it with fresh shiitake mushrooms, shallots, whole garlic cloves, black olives, and capers. Served with rice and my new favourite bottled hot, ginger flavoured sauce from Thailand.
 

Although it was OK, it lacked something - probably something I don't have anyway.

Also, I would normally have done something green as a side, but didn't have anything and didn't feel up to venturing out. Tomorrow my dearest friend is coming to take me to the city's best supermarket in her brand new car.

@liuzhou - good to see you're up to a little cooking!

 

Yesterday's dinner was modified versions of the Chicken with Mustard, Green Beans with Snail Butter and Potatoes cooked in duck (really chicken) fat from David Lebovitz's My Paris Kitchen.

I've made all of these before but took some liberties this time. I roasted the mustard-coated chicken thighs and before making the sauce, I drained off most of the fat and used a little of it to brown the potatoes. The beans were a mixture of different kinds (including flat Romano beans and some lovely purple ones that lost their color after cooking) from a friends garden. There are no actual snails in the "snail butter," it's just the sort of garlicky-parsley butter you'd use for escargots. 

[Kasia]

This time Beef stew with beer.  This is a recipe for these who do not think that beer in a dish is a waste  RecipeGullet
