What Did Ya'll Have For Dinner Tonight?

[Burnham]

Maybe in your markets it is called basa. It's farm raised in SE Asia, mostly Vietnam. Fresh water, mild flavor, white flesh. To my palate, it's similar to fresh water catfish. It comes frozen, in vacuum sealed bags. Keeps well, and is super easy to use in a lot of ways. Affordable, too.

Basa/swai is available in most Asian markets, as well as on the menu in most SE Asian (Vietnamese, Malaysian, Thai, etc.) restaurants around here. A little softer than catfish, IMO, but comparable as Burnham described.

I found some nice ripe Welsh Cheddar, so I made macaroni and cheese with a salad from the garden and the first tomatoes of the year from the poly tunnel.

Grapes got a haircut, I got some dolmas

 

[stikine]

Veggie Mac and cheese, salad, and a side of Elvis...damn guy keeps showing up for dinner.

 

[Burnham]

Mushrooms stuffed with shrimp, sugar snap peas from the garden, and sliced sweet red pepper.

 

[stikine]

Sounds good B

Vanilla icecream and the last wineberries of the season...



When does an "invasive" become "naturalized"? I love wineberries. They taste good, and bugs don't seem to get on them like other berries. That might be concerning if I gave it much thought, but they taste too good to worry about it. :^P

Going to bbq some chicken tenders with lemon pepper and garlic to put on a salad tonight.

 

[Burnham]

Falafels with mint infused yogurt, in pita bread halves. Dosed with hot sauce now and again . Deadly good.

My wife and daughter are out of town on a Girl Scout trip so I’m eating at my middle daughter’s this evening. She started us off with stuffed mushrooms as appetizers....

 

[stikine]

Gonna watch a bit of the Olympics while munching on meatballs and pasta.

The tomatoes had really ripened while I'd been away, so I picked all the red varieties and made about 4 gallon of sauce.
We'll have spaghetti tonight with a salad.
I love this time of the year when I can cook entire dinners with stuff from the garden, greenhouse and tunnel.
Only thing not homegrown is the Parmesan cheese.
Tomorrow I'll use some for lasagne and the rest goes in the freezer.

Buncha slackers 😁. I guess none of you eat during the summer! Flank with a Chimichurri sauce.

I'm not in the habit of taking pictures of my dinner, but being called a slacker kinda hurts, so here goes.

I found an intesresting recipe about a new way to make ratatouille.
Make a spicy tomato sauce ( The tomatoes are threatening to take over here, I hear them mumbling about invading Sudetenland, when I water them) then slice the zucchini, eggplant, red onion, bell pepper and tomatoes and layer them on to, standing up.
Some fresh purple basil on top.

Looks gorgeous but I prefer the original way.
Served with a salad from the garden, lettuce, tomato, cucumber and grilled artichoke. Some Greek goats milk Feta and caper berries on top.

Does this take me out of the slacker category?

If not, maybe the 20 pds of traditional Ratatouille I'm making for the freezer today will.

Hmmmmmmmmm................I obviously need to work on my picture taking, if I want to compete.

 

[Steve Mack]

Looks alright to me, although the top and left cheese could be arranged better.

I don't really have time to post dinner pictures, it's a bit of a rush these days. I used to, so not much point these days the menu hasn't changed much.

And being called an OCD gets tired. But work on the cheese Stig.

[stikine]

Well done @stig you are off the slacker list now 😀

 

[SeanKroll]

Had a nice piece of halibut, gift from a customer, recently caught.

 

[Tree09]

Shrimp fried rice again, and i remembered to take a pic this time lol

 

[Steve Mack]

Well it's Sunday and cold, so tomato and chick pea soup.

That's not a fly in there, just a few black eyed beans as well.
