What's for Dinner, Sun., Aug. 24, 2025

Orecchiette with Sausage and Broccoli.


pic from recipe site, "Once Upon a Chef"

I'm using Impossible Sausage crumbles, fresh garlic cloves straight from the garden, and even though I have broccoli, it's a kind that doesn't form a solid head, so I had to buy a couple broccoli heads. Peccorino romano.

Easy tossed green salad with cucumber and tomato. Red onion.

Blueberry ginger kombucha.

Dessert: Sliced cantaloupe, if mine is ripe.

I've got a batch in the IP right now, even though it's like 85 degrees out. I think someone posted something chili-related the other day and it's been niggling me because it's been so long--and I need a change of pace.

... but I'm really anxious for what we consider fall here--which should be around November, if we're lucky. (I've already got my Medieval Faire tickets for then!)

Until then, I at least have chili. 🙂

I made Deli-Style Macaroni Salad and Guacamole (while the price of avocados is still 4 for $5.

That's it. I had a small plate of the macaroni salad and then some non-GM tortilla chips with the guac.

I'm full and I'm happy.

I shaved off the kernels of 6 ears of organic Silver Queen corn. Then I steam-fried in evoo and veggie broth: chopped onions, celery, shallots, red bell pepper, sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. I then added the corn, covered the dutchie and let it steam in the remaining broth. Finally I added a can of butter beans, a small amount of red quinoa and a dollop of Miyoko’s butter. Seasoned the dish with cumin, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Cheers!🥂
