What's for Dinner, Wed., June 3, 2026

This is my home celery bed as it looked when I went to cut some for tonight's dinner.

Salty Celery Salad with Anchovy. I have plenty of celery growing in my garden. It tastes so different than what I get at the store, which is bland in comparison. I'll also have romaine and oak leaf salad greens to add.

Also in the salad: garlic, chopped pickled peppers, sherry vinegar, and Parmesan cheese.

Lemon Pepper Pasta with Browned Butter. It has one lemon, zested, and Parmesan cheese. Crushed red pepper flakes to give it some spice.

Kombucha: Peach.

Dessert: Strawberry macaron. Cold decaf.

I think they are Spanish. The RG gets them and has them mailed to me. I will ask where he orders them.

This salad turned out wonderfully. I want to make it again.

Always better the second day.
Cher, love your idea for a salty celery salad. My Polish grandmother believed celery was “good for your blood”. Don’t know about that, but it’s good for my soups! Cheers!🥂

A lazy leftover from the bowels of the deep freeze, augmented with a PB sandwich for dunking. So good—and I used morels!
