What's for Dinner, Thurs., Aug. 7, 2025

Appetizer is tortilla chips with peach salsa.

Yesterday at the training session, the lunch that was catered had homemade tortilla chips. I saw what they did, so I just tried it and it's

Flounder with Lemony Bread Crumb topping. It also has thyme, parsley, lemon juice, garlic, & mustard in the bread crumbs.

Sliced cucumbers in dill and sour cream. Chopped red onion.

Dessert: frozen fruit bar later tonight. Key lime!

We spent the day at the beach so simple is good!

Grilled cheeseburgers and grilled corn on the cob. Simple green salad. Pickles, potato chips and cold beer!

I'm sitting on my porch, enjoying the mildly humid weather with a slight breeze afternoon

One of my neighbors is teaching her daughter how to ride a bike.
I got a lot of food options for later on, but right now life is on the porch

A big bowl of romaine lettuce topped with random veg, a couple of boiled eggs, and Greek dressing. Not the most exciting, but it works.

As much as I would like to race into the kitchen and produce something fabulous, that isn’t going to happen. The heat and humidity here combined with the aftermath of a way too hectic day put a stop to my high hopes.

So, it’s a simple burger on a brioche bun. Some lettuce, a giant slice of garden tomato, red onion slice, havarti with dill cheese, red pepper relish.
No side dishes, just easy, breezy. Lemon water to drink and maybe dig around in the freezer to see if there is anything in there that resembles a dessert.

*Your lemony bread crumb topping sounds delicious.

I’m house and dog sitting for a friend who had to leave town in an emergency. He insisted that I use Door Dash to order takeout for dinner. I’ve been ordering dinner from my favorite Thai restaurant. Yesterday I had an eggplant tofu dish and tonight I ordered vegan pad thai. Both dishes were delicious. It’s nice not having to cook for a few days. Cheers!🥂

Trying to use up some leftovers.

On one side of the bowl a salad of iceberg and red leaf lettuce, shaved carrots, Vidalia onion, yellow bell pepper, and tomato. The other side is some leftover pasta salad.

On top of the whole thing there were slices of leftover pork tenderloin and some imitation crab.

Had a cupcake for dessert
