@Shelby, that plate (meat 'n 4) looks pretty appealing for "life got in the way"

Thank goodness for giant smoked chickens lurking in the fridge

[Kim Shook]

Didn’t really go with dinner, but needed to be cooked, so I did some mushroom and yellow squash for Mr. Kim:

 

 

Salad with some croutons I made with the black Russian bread from WF:

Topped with French dressing which I’ve inexplicably had cravings for recently.  Brunswick stew and Sister Schubert rolls:

Destined for tomorrow night's dinner.

Just finished presalting and it is now air drying in the fridge.

@HungryChris my brother's likes the lobster rolls at Johnny Ad's. He lives in Lyme. From where I sit here in CA feeling sorry for myself, I would have the lobster roll AND the fried clams.

Will trade you my lobster roll for your fried clams...

Dinner courtesy of the Farmers Market.

Zucchini fritters, cream corn, tomatoes, purple hull peas with tomato relish, fried okra. All bought at the market this afternoon, except the tomato relish, which I canned last year.

 

There was no meat. It was not missed.

I recall many moons ago some fried clams (with bellies) had near Boston harbor....

 

Oh man were they good.

 

I need to get back out to the East Coast.  Still the best seafood I have ever had was in Nova Scotia, Bay of Fundy.

 

Those scallops....O my!!!!

Back on track to dinner!

 

With summer in full bloom I am trying to use as much garden (mine) produce for our meals.  It is a goal to no longer need the supermarket.  We shall see how that goes.

 

Tonight we had:

 

Make your own Cold Rice Rolls - ingredients included:

- Thai marinated grilled chicken; chopped (marinated in baby coriander seeds, onions, garlic, chilli from the gardoon - chicken, though not ours, would have loved pecking the worms in our garden!)

- Shredded carrots

- Lettuce

- Mint

- Thai Basil

- Vietnamese Coriander

- Pickled Onions

 

Nuoc Cham & herb infused thai peanut sauce as dips.

 

Kids loved it, I love that they loved it, and it was pretty good too

Potatoes roasted in duck fat.

Yeah, that's not even a judgement call. Any chucklehead can make a lobster roll, but good fried clams are a rarity.

Grilled Boneless Chicken Thigh (marinated in Hoisin Garlic Sauce), Teriyaki Stir Fry Vegetables and Jasmine Rice

[Kim Shook]

Found a box of one of my guilty pleasures at Publix – frozen Chicken Kiev.  Served with Charleston rice, broccoli, some wonderful corn, and Sister Schubert rolls:

All's well that ends well, etc.    Finally, grand-daughter's birthday dinner.    She arrived mid-afternoon to help and direct traffic     She dictated the menu which worked well.   

Rainbow salad, a recipe she brought home from camp.    A panoply of colorful veg and fruit with a fresh ranch/herb yogurt dressing.    Quite good.

 

Bowtie pasta with house made fresh tomato sauce, no pics.

Nor of the excellent Grilled Denver steak  provided and cooked by her dad.    He is hired as meat station for all future family dinners.  Again, too frantic for pics.

 

Birthday cake, ordered by and frosted by birthday girl.    "Turquoise layers" with Meyer lemon frosting and gummies.    Note the figure eight, her years.   

 

A really lovely day and evening.    They must all be growing up, including us.   

[CantCookStillTry]

About to head home from work and I get the "Friends are here can you bring snacks" message. I confirm I can and enquire as to what form of snacks are required. The answer was "Lots". And thats when I began to suspect one of said friends was Beer.

 

 

Unpictured dips, Chips, Nuts, Beer etc 🙄

[liuzhou]

Chicken and Shimeji Mushroom Fried Noodles

 

 

Chicken (obviously), fresh brown shimeji, Shaoxing, garlic, chilli, soy sauce, coriander leaf and Chinese chives.

As a fellow East Bay resident  you're in no position to trade either. I'm keeping both.

 

Oh wait, I just read several posts above. I will trade, but I want the grand-daughter.

Tonight's dinner. 

Battle Axe (Tomahawk) Steak

with grilled carrots and green beans and baked sweet potatoes.

[kayb]

Grilled burgers, cooked frozen sweet potato fries in the CSO, warmed up leftover creamed corn. As I was feeding two small people as well as us, photos went by the wayside.

 

This cool snap we're having is marvelous for cooking outdoors.

Thanks @Margaret Pilgrim.  It is one of our "tray boards". We only made a few of these and I kept two.
