What’s for Dinner Tonight?


Yesterday wound up making a qt of garlic soup for dinner minus the poached egg.

Today, there’s a NY strip defrosting in the fridge for later, and some store bought bbq ribs and brisket. Also made potato salad, , and veggies à la Grecque for a picnic in Central Park.
Today is one of the few days we are allowed to grill in the park (never announced just if you know, you know) so hope to make the most of it.

A friend is picking up dessert at Citarella’s so that should be worth last night’s soup-a-thon, lol.
 
Now that the remodel is done I’m cleaning and organizing the basement. Spent the day down there and I’m probably half done. Hoping to finish next weekend. When we were done we were tired and hungry so we grabbed Mexican for a late lunch. I had cheese enchiladas.

I also made a batch of cookies and cream ice cream for a snack later. Finally finished the package of Oreos 😂
 
Went fishing with DS-29 and my parents today. Our unlucky streak continued. Only caught two barely big enough scups. Not even enough for one person for dinner so we ordered pizza instead. The owner of the pizza shop said "no specialty pizzas due to holiday and cash only" so we got a pepperoni and a linguica. It was okay. We really need better pizza options near us.
 
Enjoyed a nice long weekend. Dinner selections were:

Saturday was at a friends house celebrating a birthday, so that meant grilled ribeye's, corn on the cob, home made fried rice, scallops, salad, cheese/crackers, dessert (birthday cake) and some adult beverages!

Sunday we tried a new place that features smash burgers. It was good, but not so good that'd we'd go out of our way (but we would eat there again if in the area).

Monday I made one of my favorites (and my sons). Its a Vietnamese dish that my mother made often when I was younger.... pork and eggs. It's a pork butt or shoulder, but into large cubes, seared then boiled in coconut soda, with hard boiled eggs. Slow simmered for 6 +/- hours, then served over white rice. the pork is so tender you can pull it with a spoon!

Tonight will be leftover pork and eggs (and possibly again Wednesday night too, there soooooooo much of it)
 
Tonight DD, SIL, and the Little Guy are coming over for dinner. One of my TAs has been staying with us this summer while finishing up her dissertation, and tonight is the last time we can all get together before she moves home to Utah on Saturday. Congrats to Sara for finishing her degree, but we're all a little sad around the edges. She's taught for/with me for 5+ years and we've become good friends. I'll miss her. I think we'll just have burgers on the grill and sides to go with.
