What's for Dinner, Wed., Sept. 3, 2025

All afternoon I've been slow cooking Impossible sausages wrapped in turkey bacon. The bacon should be very crisp. I'll put it in a wrap.

Watermelon and baby arugula salad with feta cheese. Balsamic vinaigrette.

Elote, which is sweet corn tossed with lime-mayo, cilantro, and goat cheese. Also pickled jalapeno.

Kombucha: cherry-ginger.

Dessert: root beer float frozen bar.

walked in to our attached garage. I shake my head, because on the floor of the garage are totes with watermelon. Thinking if we don't get rid of some of these melons, we'll be eating them to November. I come into the house, and check du, and the first thing I read is your post. LOL

We have the last of the zucchini flowers, battered and fried then dusted with salt, pepper and grated Parmesan cheese.

Left-over London broil, thinly sliced and drizzled with Worcestershire sauce and served with coarse Irish mustard.

Cheese ravioli with a light tomato sauce.

Green salad with red onion, tomato wedges, cucumber slices and croutons with Thousand Island dressing.

For dessert, yogurt with blueberries, maple syrup, honey and granola.

Big travel day tomorrow so a sleepy-time chocolate looks good!

about what you'd be making for dinner tonight because last night's was a lot of work. Especially that sauce.

Re the zucchini flowers, did you get the special kind of zucchini that puts off a lot of flowers?

The Landlady planted five zucchini seedlings she bought from a reliable Catskills farmer. Only one plant produced any fruit and they were meager. She asked the farmer about it and he said he had the same problem because most of the plants turned out to be males which grow flowers but only females produced the zucchini. Oh, well! The plants themselves are Jurassic!

Thankfully, the rest of her greenhouse garden produced peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers and lots of lettuce while her spice garden is magnificent as always.

Back to Manhattan today…

Busy day so we decided to have dinner at Corelife Eatery. Have eaten here a few times and always enjoy the “build your own” salad option. Their bowls and soups are also pretty good. Healthy fast food. Cheers!🥂
