I'm at home, so I don't have to cook (much)
Last night, I "volunteered" to make dinner, so we had pasta with vodka sauce and salad.
Tonight's dinner was fish cakes with avocado-tomatillo sauce, steamed broccoli and rice.

At least I don't leave slime trails.

Hm...I think dinner tonight may be peanut butter-sesame noodles with chicken. Veggies will either be peas or a salad.
At least I don't leave slime trails.

After a 40-mile ride and next to no lunch - whatever I can lay my hands on
It looks like chicken, Basamati brown rice, and broccoli - and a small green-leaf salad. And a beer.![]()
It's zucchini pasta with marinara sauce for us tonight...and fried chicken, corn on the cob and watermelon for the boys![]()
Lamb chop, roasted brocolli drizzled with grapeseed oil, sweet corn on the cob. Sipping a lovely homemade (no mixes) margarita while it cooks.
Then back to the Girl with the Dragon Tatoo after.
Meat: Chicken breast dipped in a butter-lemon juice-spice mixture, then baked (I used garam masala with a touch of Madras curry powder for heat)
Carb: Corn salad. I used freshly roasted corn, half a seeded jalapeno, lots of cilantro, lime zest, part of a green onion, and garlic. Dressing consisted of melted butter with lime juice, cayenne pepper and cumin.
Veggie: Sauteed baby spinach with garlic
"Weird" side: half a baked-then-broiled peach with a balsamic glaze and a bit of blue cheese.
I think I'm doing the dishes, then getting out of the house for a while. It's hot, not aided by my doing all that cooking.
At least I don't leave slime trails.

I made tofu pad thai with red and green peppers, yellow and green squash and carrots.
Last three meals I made were farmer's market and backyard garden extravaganzas. I am not always this good, but 'tis the season!
Thurs night: pork chops from local pork farmer pan sauteed in garlic cream with tarragon from my garden, sliced tomato from the farmers' market and steamed green beans plucked from my garden.
Friday night we took DP's Mom out for dinner at a restaurant that trys to buy most everything from local sustainable farmers.
Sat: garlic lemon grilled pork chops (same farmer) topped with lemon butter chive (my garden) sauce, another sliced tomato from the FM and grilled asparagus from the FM with a dash of balsamic.
Last night: lemon thyme (my garden) chicken/asparagus stir fry - chicken breast from a different local farmer and asparagus again from the FM. This week was the last of the asparagus so I went a little asparagus crazy.
Tonight, DP has to work so we're on our own. I will probably just throw in a Trader Joe's ham and gruyere tart/"pizza" - those things are soooooooo good!
Tomorrow night, a pasta dish using a bunch of zucchini and yellow squash I picked up at the FM last Thursday. My squash is just starting to come in.
