What are you Cooking the Week of August 6, 2023?

[Mike Nolan]

I'll be making another one of the zucchini and tomato casseroles today, the last one was very good.

I also picked about 9 pounds of tomatoes this morning, added to the 6 or 7 pounds that I already had I've got enough for at least 5 quarts of tomato juice, so I'll be doing that today, it's a cool day, high only expected to be around 74.

Spread the word

I made a pasta salad for lunch, using tricolor pasta and an English cucumber and green onion from the farmers' market and cherry tomatoes from our garden. I made a dressing of red wine vinegar and olive oil combined with Penzey's Sandwich Sprinkle. I added a bit of garlic powder to liven it up. I also added sliced black olives and goat cheese. I will eat it for lunches this week, as my husband is not fond of such salads.

For dinner, we had the last of the turkey-zucchini loaf, sweet corn, and microwaved fresh broccoli. For dessert, we each had a slice of cantaloupe, which we had bought from the stand at the edge of town. It is sweet and delicious!

We had some of the tomato-zucchini casserole for supper, a relatively light supper but still satisfying.

I didn't get the tomatoes processed and juice canned today, I'll try to get that done on Monday.

[Joan Simpson]

Finished up the BBQ, corn on the cob, pickles and chips with salsa.It's so hot here right now at 5:15 pm it's 96 -F with heat index of 114-F.

[Mike Nolan]

I've got 5 quarts of tomato juice in the pressure canner, first batch using it instead of hot water canning.

[BakerAunt]

On Monday, I made Maple Glazed Pork Tenderloin, muddled mashed potatoes and microwaved green beans from our garden. We had cantaloupe for dessert. It was a great celebration for our anniversary.

Happy Anniversary, BA!

[Mike Nolan]

The new pressure canner worked well, all the jars sealed and using it on an induction cooktop meant the kitchen didn't get as hot as it does heating a 24 quart pot of water to a full boil and processing the jars for 45 minutes.

Only thing I forgot to do was that I didn't put some vinegar in the canner, so I had to wipe the jars down because they had some calcium buildup on the outside.

[Joan Simpson]

I had salami and tomato sandwich, corn on the cob, pickles.

Happy Anniversary BakerAunt!

[BakerAunt]

Thank you, CWCdesign and Joan for the good wishes.

We re-ran last night's dinner on Tuesday and will re-run it again tomorrow.

Joan--Has it cooled down where you are? That heat index is horrible.

[Mike Nolan]

We had steak on the grill plus some of the tomato/zucchini casserole tonight.

[chocomouse]

We had grilled boneless pork chops, potatoes roasted on the grill, and fresh green, yellow, and purple beans from the deck planter.

[BakerAunt]

On Tuesday, I made yogurt. I also de-seeded the last basket of blackberries. I only had about 1 ¾ cups of puree after I finished, which is not enough for another batch of jam, so I froze it and will use it in a future pan of brownies.

[Joan Simpson]

I had a hotdog, sliced tomatoes and pickles,and a very good peach.

BakerAunt the temps are still up heat index today was was 105-110.We've been having thunder n lightening storms with lots of wind and rain not good.I sat on the porch a few minutes today and it didn't take me long to go back inside.
