So cottage cheese, orange pepper strips, swiss cheese, and a hard boiled egg.

I need to wash out the fridge part this weekend.

The self-pay barn near the campground has eggplant, green peppers, onions, zucchini galore at very good prices.
Tomatoes are still high and judging from my own plants, I am surprised they had any nice tomatoes. I don't know if it is the multiple flooding storms, the Canadian smoke, or the lower temps, but I had to supplement the ratatouille with canned, no sodium tomatoes. Luckily I had fresh basil, rosemary, and oregano.
Seeded bread and parmesan cheese along with the stew. Watermelon for dessert.

Grilled with just salt, pepper & granulated garlic.
Shallots & mushrooms sautéed then, butter & white wine.
Made a sweet potato puree & steamed asparagus with some lemon.
Did my best to present it like fine dining. My wife approved.

Romaine, Arugula, Endive, Radicchio, Vidalia Onion, shredded Mozzarella, and . . . . . cut-up, crispy fried Shrimp. Served with a light Dijon Vinaigrette with a little extra oregano.

Mission accomplished.

You went all out on that one.

I have to get some shrimp. It’s been too long without them.

Whatever we eat tomorrow has to include sweet potatoes. The farm box has delivered them twice, so we have a bunch.
