What Did Ya'll Have For Dinner Tonight?

[stig]

Harvested the first Basil in the tunnel.
So new potatoes from the garden with pesto Genovese, a salad and some greek Kalamata olives.
A German Weissbier for the mail order bride.

I love this time of the year.

Came across a bunch of Chanterelles in the woods today.

So, fresh pasta with chanterelle cream sauce and a salad from garden and tunnel.
The Swiss are great lovers of wild mushrooms, so I'm in very good standing with the mail order bride today.
She promptly took a picture of the catch, to send to her sister.

 

[stikine]

Well shit @stig, I guess we don't rank for a picture Your chanterelles come up much earlier than ours.

 

[Burnham]

First fresh homemade basil pesto for the season, on tortellini. Big salad on the side. Avocados are especially nice right now.

 

[stig]

Isn't that first batch of pesto just great!

 

[Burnham]

Indeed!

Steamed up a huge plate of broccoli in the Instant Pot. Came out perfectly. I sprinkled about a teaspoon of Parmesan on top, which made a big difference. I like steamed broccoli as is, but the Parmesan was a nice addition. I've heard nutritional yeast is a good cheese alternative with a lot of good stuff in it. Going to try that sometime. Going to have a big handful of pistachios and call it a day.

I smoked six racks of ribs yesterday. Turned out great. Sorry no pics as my phone was pretty much useless where I was at. Kinda nice really

We like "nooch", nutritional yeast, on popcorn.

 

[lxskllr]

Old Bay makes everything better. I like that on steamed vegetables. Popcorn too.

Not dinner, but breakfast...made a batch of my pancakes and substituted wholemeal spelt for the regular flour, served it to the Mr. and he gave them the tick of approval. Yes! Been trying all sorts to make good pancakes without wheat flour as we both are partial to pancakes 🥞

I'll ask my gf, she has lots of gf (gluten-free) recipes.

Btw, @pigwot has/ had a good g-f energy bar recipe that be he shared with me after Zipfest. I don't have it anymore. Gluten doesn't particularly bother me, to my knowledge. Probably good to reduce, all the same.



A gluten-free recipe thread would be good in the TH Kitchen.

 

[Mellow]

Is it possible that a gluten intolerance is actually a glyphosate intolerance?

Back on topic, last night I had a gator wrap, fried shrimp, and cheesy corn grits for dinner.

 

[Bermy]

I'm just trying to avoid wheat, not gluten in total.
I did really well for a couple years and both of us lost weight without trying. Another thing to blame on Covid, got lazy...and the fact there are two fab bakeries within 2 minutes walk of my house.
Anecdotally my mild arthritis improved and general fatigue and achiness also.

 

[Tree09]

Boo roundup too tho.

 

[stikine]

Simple food... King salmon, kale, and rice. Nothing else required.

 

[pigwot]

Had “Thai Tacos” as our Thai-based granddaughter calls them this evening. Lettuce leaves filled with all sorts of Thai goodness.

Spent the day at Chatuchak Market in Bangkok today. Crazy huge place with everything from street food to fine art. Must be about 8,000 stalls!

[stikine]

[CurSedVoyce]

[stikine]

Crab cakes tonight fellas. Bon appetit.

 

[Burnham]

Oh my oh my oh my. Yummy!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Love me some good crab cakes!
Nice!

Just gonna grill up some chicken tenders and put them on a salad tonight. Crock pot some chicken legs to bone for enchiladas another night.
Just lit the grill. Hope the helos dont drop on it

 

[treebilly]

I grilled up some pork chops and some slabs of onions. Wasn’t my best but one can survive on it. I dried them out a bit. That happens when you’re doing ten things at once.
