What's for Dinner, Sat., May 23, 2026

I fell asleep before I could have last night's dinner! So I'll have it tonight.

I think working outside as much as I do takes most of my energy. I make the dinner, put it in the refrig or whatever's appropriate, and say I'll just rest for a little bit first and ZONK. I am out until 1 a.m.

It was:

Cold mushroom soup with chorizos bits and caramelized onions.
Cucumbers in tarragon cream sauce.
Tunafish sandwich on sourdough. Banana pepper rings and kalamatas.


It's all waiting in the frig until I get hungry.

Steam-fried in evoo and veggie broth: onion, yellow bell pepper, sliced carrots, sliced mushrooms, cut asparagus and minced garlic. When done I blended in 3/4 of a block of mashed firm tofu, Jax Tofu seasoning, hot pepper flakes and chopped fresh parsley. Cheers!🥂

This was pretty easy with rotisserie chicken. While getting out the green onions, I saw a box of raspberries that would make a good dessert.
