[NJCher]

Sauteed flounder with thyme and olive oil. Lemon quarters.
Salad with French dressing over cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and yellow peppers. Orzo. Over the top, flaxseeds.

The thing about the herb garden being back is that it's so simple to cook. All you have to do is go snip an herb and you're in business for something delicious.

Cherry kombucha.

Dessert: tres leches cake with decaf coffee.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms!

4. Surf & Turf

My wife had a taste for steak.
So, I bought two 7-8 ounce filets, and a pound of 16/20 shrimp.
I marinated the shrimp in soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, a bit of red pepper flakes & some salt. Probably an hour after the shrimp was thawed.
I skewered the shrimp and grilled everything.
I made baby carrots boiled in salt water with a caramel sauce.
And I made risotto with Arborio rice. I toasted the rice for about 3 minutes, then used chicken stock as the liquid. Every 3rd ladle of broth I added a shot glass of half & half. I bloomed saffron by putting it in a bit of water in a coffee cup and heated it for 40 seconds in the microwave. The saffron water was added last.
Finally, I made a salad from iceberg (it was on sale for 49 cents a head), beefsteak tomatoes and mozzarella pearls. Just olive oil & red wine vinegar to dress.
The shrimp came out fantastic. Got them off the grill at the exactly right time.
My wife was most pleased!

We have been in the garden all day. Tilling, planting, and watering. Too tired to cook.

9. I did mine in my slow cooker, too

And it was SO GOOD!

And easy!. Didn't take all that long, either. I liked the way the slow cooker made the edges of the lasagna crispy.

I didn't put more herbs and sauce in, but will the next time.
