Dinner 2025

 local meat packer has 2/pk pork tenderloins on sale for $5.00. The package I cooked last night was 36 oz: supper last night and lunches today.
A friend has a cottage in northern Manitoba and they just picked up a container of new harvest of wild rice.
So supper was rosemary marinated and grilled pork tenderloin, cranberry, wild rice, and barley pilaf, and a pile of mixed veg.

Yesterday was my birthday (#71) and we had reservations for dinner at a nice restaurant.  As the day progressed, and the energy levels dropped,  we decided to hang at the house and have a light supper.   I ended up preparing a simple salad with hoikkado scallops piccata.  Dessert was a flourless chocolate tart from Publix that was very good.   We also had a scoop (or two) of B&J Pistachio Pistachio ice cream since we were celebrating.

Happy Birthday, @Steve Irby. I'm 77. My last few birthdays have been similar. I think about going out, but often end up staying home. There's a local bakery that has a chocolate cake I really like. My husband often buys a couple of slices and that's my party. The last time I actually celebrated was for my 70th. We had a party at the family beach house. Of note was great October weather, a lovely apple pie my SIL baked that had a "77" formed in crust. People stayed overnight and breakfast was leftover oysters and key lime pie. My nephew had never had oysters and he was over the moon, which was hilarious. But the  real moment of awe came when a red fox was spotted across the street during breakfast. We're talking about a funky little beach town and a funky beach house with a view of the ocean. In all my nearly fifty years of marrying into this beach house this fox was a one-time only event. Deer always. Wild turkeys wandering about the streets,  especially the day after Thanksgiving, just to prove they are still alive.  But a fox? I'm guessing never again. This year my birthday will be singularly weird. I will be on the tail end of chemo.  All bets are off whether or not a slice of chocolate cake will look good.

Happy Birthday @Steve Irby. Your dinner at home looked delicious.

 

Monday's dinner was seared tuna with soy sipping sauce, rice, and a salad of lettuce and peppers, which were the only vegetables n the fridge.

 

 

Last night, miso broiled salmon in a coconut sauce with spinach and summer squash, and more rice

What's the reddish-orange drizzle over the rice with the tuna?

Inspired by the comments about Picalilli, I made some this morning! But the recipe said wait for a month before consuming!
I licked the spoon and it was good.
