What's for Dinner, Mon., June 23, 2025 [View all]

Justaprogressive has a couple posts with some good ideas for hot weather cooking. I looked at the list and am going with lettuce wraps filled with chicken. Suits my need perfectly because I have the chicken already cooked and I also have all the ingredients, like hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, ketchup, garlic, etc. Oh and did I mention lotsa' cold crispy lettuce in the 'frig?

Some of the items I intend to add are garlic, scallions, ginger, sesame seeds, and peanuts.

The Sichwan cucumber recipe she posts looks good, too. It has hot pepper flakes, soy, rice wine vinegar. Might make that as well.

Cherry-ginger kombucha.

Dessert: shortbread cookie with chocolate square. Cold iced tea.

p.s. forgot to mention, it's 97 here!
