On a garden break, I had a couple pieces of cold Pizza Hut vegetable pizza. It hit the spot.

I bought a BLT salad with chicken at Sam's Club. Yum! I need to make some "before hands" for dinner so there's leftovers for lunch!

No, the cupboards are getting pretty bare in preparation for the move. Today, I had the rest of the hotdogs with melted cheese and mayo.

Cucumber sandwiches. Nice, light, cool lunch to go with the summertime heat.
Kids had Ritz type crackers with ham, cukes, cheese. They came and said how much they liked them and went for seconds.
All with a little Miracle Whip for tang. cukes = Armenian

For lunch - - had some Italian sausage from the local butcher shop. This place has the BEST meat. My mouth literally starts watering every time I walk in there! Also tried some purslane. It's a common "weed" that's high in omega 3 (among other good things). It grows all over the place in my garden. Just found out the other day that its edible! Tastes "slightly" sour, but has a very fresh taste. Prolly good in salads & such. and its FREE!

Peas and potatoes seasoned with lots o' fresh garlic & longpepper. High carb meal.
Re purslane. I know it's good for us, but, gosh, it's hard to get it down, Nofear. Have tried so many times while weeding to eat it. I guess if it's cooked in with vegetable soup, maybe. Mostly, I give it to our young chickens.

Ciao all-
Lunch today was garden gazpacho with cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet or slightly hot peppers, onion, olive oil, red wine vinegar, tabasco, salt/pepper - blend until smooth and garnish with diced tomato, sweet pepper, and cucumber. Satisfying and cooling.

haven't done the eggplant yet... will probally do that as part of our evening light meal... I ended up making hubby chicken curry because he didn't like the idea of the fry together.. so the tomatoes went in with the rest of the veggies.. it made a bit of a sauce .. was pretty good.

stuffed patty-pan squash leftover from last night's dinner. It is a stuffed zuchinni recipe, just insterted patty-pans instead. Makes a heckuva presentation, but not straightforward to eat with a fork. It is a hands-on application. Lol. Darn good tho.....

Long John Silver's fish, cole slaw, fries and hush puppies.
It's not a good day for maintaining weight, much less think about losing some.

What are hush puppies? Is that some kind of Texas food?
For our light afternoon meal, I am making soup out of garlic, carrot, swiss chard and string beans all from the garden.

Actually Horsea, hush puppies would be more of a southern U.S. thang.
It is essentially a deep fried ball of bread that would either be heavy on the cornmeal or all cornmeal (there are tons of variations by region/family). Usually has chopped onions, seasoning, milk, egg, maybe a touch of meat, etc. in the batter. Historically made with lard.
Name was from the custom of frying up the breading balls and when company was arriving or any other time it was desired to keep the typical pack of hunting hounds quiet, they would be tossed a passel of these with the admonishment "hush puppy".
In contemporary times, it has come to be a standard side item whenever fried fish is served. Especially at get-togethers called a "catfish fry" around these parts - although typically there are some bass, perch, etc. fried in the kettle as well, catfish are typically more prevalent.

Ciao all- Today was a BNT (N = Nasturtium Leaves - I love arugula and watercress - nasturtium leaves taste like both of those things, a bit peppery, so I use them instead of lettuce). I've been using those triangle ciabatta buns that Costco sells because they're a convenient pre-made size. I've been wanting to make a nice zucchini yeast ciabatta, but the yeast was old and out of oomph when I tried last week. I use Renee's Caesar Dressing in lieu of mayonnaise because I like the taste better. This is one I made with Spudatula Black: Notice the holes - that's seed-saving happening there

Texas dirt dog, there is an Indian (ie, aboriginal Canadian) version of deep-fried bread that they "stole" from the Scotch settlers and, if you ask me, improved on. We call it bannock. My mum used to make this; it's the unhealthiest thing on earth, but satisfying. You just make a simple dough and deep fry it into a kind of pancake, in LARD! W00t! It floats around in that huge boiling vat until it's brown...

Yep. Deep fried - BAD, but tastes sooooooo good!!! I've heard of bannock before, but wasn't sure what it was. My g-ma used to make a fried hot water bread (50/50 flour/cornmeal) that she pan fried golden brown. Thick patties. Oh man, that was guuuuud! Crispy shell, hot tender center. I CAIN'T FIND THE RECIPE THAT I HAVE. I'm dying over here. Waaaaaaaaah!

I made a strange dish a couple days ago that turned out delicious - some green beans in chipotle sauce. The idea came from the Mexican food I had the night before, and the fact that I had a HUGE number of green and red noodle beans that I had to use, many of which were overgrown, so I had to cook them a while, instead of leaving them al dente.
All I did was saute a large onion and 6 cloves of garlic in about 3 tb olive oil until they were soft. Then I added a large pureed tomato (about 12 oz), a pinch of allspice, a half tsp. of Mexican oregano, and 3 tb salsa negra (a chipotle concentrate from Bayless' Kitchen book - a substitute would be 3 or 4 canned chipotles, blended with the tomato). Then I put in 1 1/4 lbs beans, in 3/4" pieces, covered, and cooked about 40 min., stirring several times, until the beans were very soft, and the sauce was reduced to a thick coating. Then I served it in some corn tortillas. Delish! I made something like this with eggplant a few weeks ago, and that was very good, too.
