Whats for Dinner?

[Crankin]

Once a year I allow myself to eat fried seafood and today was my day. We did a group ride in Portsmouth NH and York Maine, which ended at a lovely seafood shack. I had a delicious, non-greasy scallop roll, along with about one quarter of my DH's onion rings. I know they were good, because usually, I would feel sick from this, but I was fine. In fact, fine enough to stop for soft serve ice cream on the way home!
This was a late lunch, at about 3:00. I am already hungry again and the ride wasn't even that hard. It looks like left over black bean soup and a tuna salad.

a smoothie. I have to go grocery shopping tomorrow for sure.

I have not prepared any home-cooked meal for almost the past month. And won't be until 3 days later since I've been overseas and now visiting folks in Toronto.

Not even sure what place we will eat at for supper since it's holiday today, Canada Day with a number of closed restaurants.

But plan to have a dinner tonight somewhere at a restaurant with a sister I haven't seen for a year.

I need to go to the grocery store. Refrigerator raid produced: hummus with olives, heirloom cherry tomatoes, and watermelon. Had pita chips to go with the hummus.

I have a mad craving for gumbo with shrimp, and alligator andouille sausage. Just can't decide whether to make okra gumbo or file gumbo.

Yum! My family is having a big reunion this weekend in Acadia Parish. I'm not going because of cost and other travel...but I'm sure they will eat well and have a big ole' party. My father, stepmother, brother, niece and nephew will all be there. I've asked them to please have a big bowl of crawfish etouffee on my behalf.

I prefer gumbo made with okra, but that's just me.

OKRA, OKRA, OKRA (I love okra...) okra gumbo, okra curry yum!!
never had alligator andouille though - I tend to use TJ's chicken andouille, sacrilege I'm sure, but I like it.

I never had Okra until I was in Belize in April '09, amazing!!!

Oh and I'm so excited, I don't know where else to post this, so I'll put it here... but my husband and I just joined our local CSA, and our first organic fruit and veggie bin is going to arrive on Tuesday! I can't wait to see what I get and try to figure out how to use it.

I finally actually cooked something other than baked chicken and steamed veggies For some reason I was hungry for soup - so I made some some of my never-the-same-twice refrigerator soup! This batch happened to have

Rainbow Chard, onion, cannellini beans, fire-roasted tomatoes, chicken, rice, and lots of spices

Yummy For dessert I had fresh Bing cherries

Even better, I made enough that I don't have to cook for awhile!

Portsmouth and York! Nice! I love cycling in that area.

Dinner turned out to be a chicken sandwich with a bit of Dijon mustard and cheddar with lots of steamed broccoli on the side, with garlic hummus to dip it in.

Ok, it is official - I need to come visit everyone's house for dinner because all of you are far better cooks than I am!

I had a sliced turkey sandwich, fat-free cottage cheese and strawberries. Actually the cottage cheese and strawberries came after my ride, the sandwich before my training session but those are just details

You're quite welcome to come over for dinner. It's boring just cooking for me.

As proof of how much time I have on my hands, I made Indian rice pudding for breakfast. Leftovers will likely be dessert tonight and breakfast tomorrow, as I'm going home for a week. Yay!

Anyway, tonight's dinner is going to be the rest of the soup from Tuesday, probably with water crackers and goat cheese. I have some pickled broccoli stems going in the fridge (cinnamon+cardamom and garlic is an...interesting olfactory experience!), so I think they'll be the veggies!
