What's for Dinner, Thurs., June 12, 2025 [View all]

Eggplant-chipotle sandwich.

I invented this recipe: breaded eggplant slice, dipped in egg, then panko, then to the air fryer.
Next up is the mozzarella--thick slice of this, and on top chipotle mayonnaise. I like to use pita bread if I'm dining light, or marble rye otherwise. Melt it all in the air fryer.

Cold bratwurst on the side. Dill-mustard.

Chilled creamy cauliflower soup with leeks and fennel seed. I made the leek broth a few weeks ago, so I just add my cauliflower, already cooked, and puree it. Add fennel seeds, which I saved from last year. A drizle of olive oil over the top, along with coarsely ground black pepper.

Can you tell it's hot here?

Kombucha: mix of ginger beer, kombucha, and cherry juice.

Dessert: Watermelon.
