      We had salads tonight: d'Italini, seafood, and Greek. We dined in the middle of a thunderstorm with heavy winds and rain, but did not lose power.

            Lamb loin chops with mint jelly, roasted potatoes and peas. Costco has the largest lamb chops at a lower price than most places.

                I am impressed with Navlys' and Chocomouse's dinners!

                I recently treated myself to freezer containers from Lehman's. I like their products, but shipping is expensive, so I wait to order until I have a list. The freezer containers were half price if you bought three or more, and I did. On Wednesday, I blanched some green beans and filled a 1-quart and a 1 1/2-pint container for freezing. I used a 1-pint container to freeze about 1 1/2 cups of grated zucchini that I can use for my zucchini loaf in the winter. As the containers stack nicely, unlike the various yogurt and butter containers I have been using (and will still use for some items), I'm hoping to avoid the scenario where my husband goes into the freezer, items spill out, and containers or lids crack.

                Dinner on Wednesday was the Turkey-Zucchini Loaf with Peach-Dijon Mustard glaze. I added a red bell pepper from our garden. We had it with leftover bulgur stir-fry and more microwaved green beans. These beans are the fatter ones that I rejected for freezing.

                    I made tacos from leftover steak, had it with refried beans and asparagus.

                    I miss the "like" button, there are so many posts that deserve a like.

                        Well, the like button kept crashing the site, so it probably isn't coming back.

                          I envy your finding beets, Joan. I was able to get a bunch of golden beets a few weeks ago. The farmers' market vendor told me that for some reason, the rest of the beets are not doing well, and she doubts she will have any more for the market.

                            BakerAunt the beets were from a can but I cook them with sugar and vinegar.I haven't had fresh beets in a long time.

                              Joan--I had never touched a raw beet until last year. I was surprised how easy they are to roast in foil in the oven, then use a paper towel to rub off the skin. I was even more surprised by how wonderful they taste.

                                Tonight we had chargrilled chicken breast that I pound out flat and marinated in Italian dressing, mashed potatoes and creamed corn and pumpkin pie for dessert.

                                BakerAunt I never liked beets growing up but as an adult I loved them.My mom use to make them a lot and when she'd open a can I'd say they smelled like dirt.I like to keep some in the fridge.I've never roasted any fresh ones only boiled them.

                                  Yeah, I really didn't think the Like button was coming back.

                                  I like fresh beets. The beet greens are really good.

                                  I made pork loin chops today and had one with noodles and kale.
