What's for dinner, Mon, June 29, 2026

I made a rice salad last night. Planning to eat that at dinnertime.

Rice salad is a lot like pasta salad, except with rice. I cooked up a pound of thick sliced bacon until I had rendered out the fat but no further, and allowed them to cool on paper towels to soak up excess grease. I cooked 1.5 cups long grain white rice (seasoned with chicken soup base and porcini mushroom powder), and rinsed it after it was done. I chopped up about a full bunch of green onions and cleaned a pint of heirloom grape tomatoes, cutting up the larger ones. When all this was in a bowl I mixed in a jar of salsa Verde.

I just tasted it. It's quite good.

4. Cheeseburger with french fries at the Golden Nugget bar and grill.

We took our friend from Mississippi to the casino. My friend lost $2,500.00, Loretta lost $30.00, and I won $35.00. My friend even won $200.00 in free slot play. He wasn't upset about losing. He said you have to bet big to win big. LOL

Good Evening

5. Given it's in the 90s, I was uninterested in anything but a cool meal

BLTs and salad. The salad was mostly lettuce, but with some Caprese - tomato chunks, mozzarella pieces and torn basil. I needed to cut back the basil in the garden considerably and will have to throw the rest into a stir-fry later this week. Some of the lettuce was thinnings from the salad area of the garden, too. (The rest was bought.)

I can hardly wait for more plants to be ready. It's fun going out to shop in the back yard. Now if the squirrels will start leaving my jalapenos alone...
