Forgive my abyssmal photography and the mundane serving dishes. It is just my husband and I and it's hot! NYT Grilled Soy-Basted Chicken Thighs With Spicy Cashews, without the spicy cashews because I didn't have cashews and it's too hot to go get some, besides, there are pecans in the salad. I recreated a salad I had out the other night. Beets (done in the IP) spinach, feta and pecans in a maple lemon dressing. Not ususally a fan of potato salad, but I saw this one on a site call Salt and Lavendar. It's tiny creamer potatos, crispy bacon, green onions and celery, dressed in a combination of mayo, grainy mustard, vinegar and smoked paprika. It was quite moreish. The original didn't have celery, but I wanted a little crunch.

Grilled chicken thighs are a favorite of mine. If you had the cashews how would they have been incorporated - a paste, sprinkled on? Beets, feta and pecans always nice and the potato salad high flavor would work for me as well.

The cashews are roasted with siracha, then chopped and sprinkled on the finished chicken, along with cilantro (which I was also out of) and green onion tops.

Ejjeh frittata. Ejjeh is an omelet rich with herbs. In this take on it I used onion, coriander, parsley, chili, scallions, yogurt, fenugreek, coriander and cumin, tamarind.

Fried egg coated eggplant in spiced tomato sauce.

Frennah breads (a bit like a fluffy pita, but brushed with oil before baking so that it gets a bit crisp). I added sesame to some, which gives a nice taste.

Veggies, pickles, spicy home made zchug, store bought amba, yogurt.

Slugs, snails are the bane of all lovers of hostas.


I love hostas for my garden. They are beautiful and require no care. I have hundreds of them. Fortunately I don’t have a slug/snail problem.


Snails are a boon and a bane for me. I love snails, the French kind. I wish I could import some live French variety of snails, but there are laws forbidding that. You can only get canned ones here.


I love hostas also because they are delicious. Hosta is a common vegetable in some countries.


So I decided to make a dish with Hosta blossom scapes, some French escargots and some shrimps and dungeness crab legs.

If I should ever have to give up meat, I want to go live with @shain. Your meals are always so beautiful with such interesting flavor combinations.

 

Thanks :P

Credits goes to the Thai people, for having a beautiful and flavorful cuisine that lends itself to being made nearly vegetarian.

Pasta with kimas (Greek meat sauce).  If it wasn’t for @Duvel I would have enjoyed it warm.

Fourth of July dinner was an almost embarrassing excess, cooked for just the two of us.

1653917709_july4.thumb.jpg.da35c6d83e29a42c6a9279fa2e8ae01c.jpg

 

Saturday morning's farmers' market offered the first fresh corn of the season, which in turn calls for okra and purple hulled peas. And I had some yellow squash that needed to be used. The slab of chicken breast looks naked because I had already eaten the skin, which was wonderfully crisp and tasty from a hour and a half in the smoker. Dessert was watermelon. 

 

Followed by "A Capitol Fourth" on PBS, followed by my annual listening to John Philip Sousa, followed by the Hamilton soundtrack, which I never get all the way through because I fall asleep.

Salmon belly that Whole Foods decided to sell ar a very agreeable price of 6.29 a pound.  I used meat to make ceviche and baked skin to make a crispy chip.

I am kicking myself. All those years of mustard everywhere and I've never used the flowers. We are eradicating it as an invasive and it is also scarce now due to drought. Must take advantage when things are abundant like the wild fennel too!

Just as I was mentally preparing for a sensible salad as part the long planned start of my diet, I received this via WhatsApp …

As the Japanese say: Shoganai, ne ! And I am a team player. Got some marinated chicken breast at the butcher, coated and fried.
