It rained again, and I had business to do this afternoon, so no ribs again today.

I have had some Rao's Arrabbiata sauce in the pantry for a long time, so I figured I better use it. I tasted it, and it was pretty good, but I doctored it up to make it better, including herbs from my very well watered garden. Then I mixed in some penne pasta.

It was good. Spicy. I had to lower the AC thermostat. A little ParmReg on top.

I found a package of cheese stuffed jalapeños wrapped in bacon in the freezer so we grilled those and had a big salad to go with it.

Just a Salad.
Rummaged thru the fridge, found lettuce, green olives, black olives, feta, dill pickles slabs, hearts of palm, pickled beets, hard boiled egg, jarred fire roasted red pepper, think that's about it, maybe something else, don't remember... and some ranch dressing - delicious and very filling.

My allergies were acting up, making my throat really scratchy today. I heated up a can of chicken & rice soup with some black cherry jello.

Nice presentation and it looks tasty.

I made a quick pasta with bacon dish. It also has cream, red onion, and greens. I used kamut fusilli as the pasta. I finished of the asparagus and herbs salad and also had a small serving hot "antipasto" and some cucumber salad.

Very hot and humid here!

Salad from a bag with Russian dressing and a burger on Schmidt Old Tyme 647 bread.

It was in a variety pack - and I'm the only one here who likes it. Yay for me!

I made my first batch of gaspacho of the season last night, this time using last season's tomatoes from the freezer. Good thing is, they keep well, and it's just about as the fresh ones, come summertime. Peppers and cukes I got from the store, and I put 3 scapes in for the garlic flavor.

I had an even bigger bowl for breakfast this morning.

I made another big batch of veggie hash, baked at 400 deg F instead of 350 and baked it for 70 minutes--so there was browning. It was delicious, again. We liked it better with more browning.
Last night we had smoothies of apples, peach, and broccoli, and that was good too.

leftovers from an office meeting!

we split a chicken shnitzel on baguette, broadway pastrami on rye, and each had a coleslaw! dh took a beer and a pickle too and i had a chocolate chip cookie even though there was probably sugar or honey in the slaw. i didn't eat any bread though.

@pepperhead212 Please share your recipe for gazpacho. Mine looked good, but turned out horrible and had zero flavor.

We had smothered porkchops with potatoes, broccoli, and pineapple.

@Kathleen Here is another time I made the gazpacho last year, with the leftover tomatoes from the freezer:

Wow, Sunday already, the 21st of May, '23

No pic, Mini meatloaf from the freezer, pan roasted along with some fingerlings, shallots, with steam broccoli and marble cheese. filling and good

I usually make it with fresh tomatoes, about 3 lbs, but everything else is pretty much the same.
