What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[NYCgrrl]

Have a can of cannellini beans open in the fridge so it needs using. Gonna add another 2 cans to it plus shallots, carrots, celery and leeks. The recipe calls for salt pork and fresh parsley but I’m subbing pork belly and dried parsley as it’s here already. Too hot for unnecessary shopping.
Making Potage Purée Soissonnaise which is just another way of saying white bean soup, lol. Yes, some of it will wind up in the freezer but that’s life

We are having grilled tuna, corn with jalapeños, and rice pilaf.

It’s the end of strawberry season so I ran to fruit stand and got a couple pints. I’ll make strawberry shortcake for dessert. They also had raspberries so I grabbed a few pints of those too.

The white bean soup I made yesterday had a higher than expected yield: approx 13 cups or a bit over 3 QTs; I was only expecting 2 quarts so we all know how I did in math . Anywho the soup will be dinner again but I opened up the electric pressure cooker and started using up more freezer goods.

3 lbs of oxtails became birria and stew, Jamaican style. Tomorrow the 5 lbs of beef stewing meat will be defrosted and we’ll start on it. The day after that (maybe) it’ll be the chicken parts turn.

I like using the pressure cooker during the summer and never thought to use it. Guess that means I’m not too old to learn a new trick .

Just wanted to say, I love your adventures with food and I bet it would be a wonderful experience to enjoy the meals you create. I hope they're as good for you as they seem they'd be.

Mexican Quinoa. We'll see how it goes, I am not a big quinoa fan.
Salad.

I never think to use my pressure cooker in the summer. Great reminder! Thanks!

Veggie lasagna. I’m trying a new recipe.

Last night of a 4 day country concert at the beach. Actually looking forward to cooking again tomorrow though I will need to do some grocery shopping when we get home. Tonight will probably be pot roast quesadillas from one of our favorite pubs. Sounds weird, but they are delicious.

Suntans or sunburns all around?

Suntans or sunburns all around?

Sunrise, Sunburn, Sunset, repeat (not to worry we used SPF 50 every day!). It really was a great time and we met the nicest people as we have every year. Just a really nice long summer weekend. Very grateful it was beautiful weather, but now back to reality LOL

I know everything I go through when I camping and want to cycle each day. It's so, so hard to protect yourself from the sun 100%. I'm getting better at it, but it's certainly a work in progress.

Some salmon on the grill with a miso and maple glaze, grilled asparagus and some seasoned fingerlings in a foil packet. Have my eye on either a glass of sauvignon blanc or a dry riesling I stumbled into at TJ's that is surprisingly crisp like the SB.

I was really bad today; no veggies, just meat and lots of it.
The Jamaican oxtails were calling my name and it was hard enough not having a side dish of rice, any kind of rice, with it.
Was portioning them for the freezer and they just wouldn’t stop whispering sweet nothings .
Oh well, we all deserve a carnivore maximus day in our lives

You camp on or with a cycle?

You camp on or with a cycle?

It's not a motorcycle but a bicycle. I'm trying really hard to be safer with sun exposure but I'm finding it difficult when I camp for weeks at a time and bicycling is something I love to do.

We've been cutting back on meat more and more the past couple years, but sometimes you make something and it really does taste so darned good it's tough to leave it alone. Once in a while is okay if you ordinarily keep the devil on your shoulder bound and gagged.
