Whole grain bread, hummus, alfalfa sprouts, cuke, tomato, sweet onion, shredded carrots. I am going to have a cup of chicken stock as well. Decafe tea to drink.

…with apple, walnuts, Gorgonzola, chopped endive & baby cuke, avocado slices and smoked salmon.
Also a nice Cabernet Franc and seltzer.
Later: a Trader Joe’s truffle brownie topped with coffee ice cream.

Grilling steaks, potatoes, and veggies.

We aren't dessert people.

... chicken with Japanese barbecue sauce.

My local daughter and s-i-l invited me to dinner. They made a delicious meal. Their low boil is potatoes, corn on the cob, shrimp and andoullie sausage. We had appetizers, sourdough bread. I'm taking a banana chocolate brownie home with me. They discovered they were short on Old Bay, but my visiting daughter and son-in-law carry it in their car, and saved the day. Nice family evening. We're sitting on the deck, listening to a mocking bird.

Field roast snausages (he thinks he’s funny), roasted corn, and mac & cheese, with pineapple Italian ice for dessert.

And now, I go into a food coma.

I bought a pound of bulk sweet Italian sausage, cut it into little squares, and rolled them into little sausage meatballs. I sauteed half a pound of mushrooms, sliced up four garlic cloves, and simmered these in a sauce made from Hunt's Garlic & Herb sauce (adding dried basil, oregano, and rosemary). Boiled the linguini and mixed it together.

It was fabulous.
