With the continuing hot, humid weather, we've decided to have leftover quinoa salad for dinner tonight.

[Joan Simpson]

Baked potato and a salad here tonight.

As I noted in another thread, we did tacos with the first tomato from our garden.

It doesn't involve using the stove, but I'm putting this entry under cooking;

On Monday afternoon, I made salsa. Although tortilla chips are usually banned from this house due to saturated fat, they have entered while my stepdaughter is here. I will control myself. I made salsa as well, using my recipe of two cans Walmart brand no-salt diced tomatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, and my last jar (12 oz.) of 505 Southwestern Hatch Valley Flame Roasted Green Chiles that I brought with me from Texas. I can’t find anything comparable here in our area of Indiana. After having these, no other brand will work.

[Mike Nolan]

I appear to able to order those chiles online through WalMart, 2 jars for $5.72, including shipping. You might see if you can.

Tonight we had cubed pork,leftover candied sweet potatoes,fried okra and deviled eggs.

[Mike Nolan]

We had tuna melts tonight, with some locally grown tomatoes from a roadside stand.

[BakerAunt]

Thanks for the tip about the chilis, Mike. I will look into it.

I made broth this Monday afternoon from the bones of the rotisserie chicken we had last week.

For dinner, I made salmon and couscous, using Penzey's Greek seasoning.

It seemed a little cooler this evening than it has been. We may try to pick blueberries tomorrow at our favorite place.

[Mike Nolan]

We've got heat warnings the next several days, likely to hit 100+ here. Typical middle of July for Nebraska, though.

[Joan Simpson]

Today I baked a meatloaf,cheese baked potato casserole and garden peas.

[Mike Nolan]

BLT's tonight.

[BakerAunt]

We had a nice rain in the late afternoon, and it is rather nice outside tonight.

I made a stir-fry for dinner on Tuesday, using green onion, celery, carrots, 8 oz. mushrooms, broccoli, snow peas from our garden, shrimp, and soba noodles. I had planned to use rice, but my stepdaughter likes the soba noodles as much as we do!

Dinner tonight was sirloin steak tips marinated in balsamic vinegar, macaroni salad and a green salad. Very warm and humid, and going to be in the upper 90s by the weekend, but we did get a brief shower this afternoon and will have rain most of the day tomorrow.

[Joan Simpson]

I made chicken-n-dressing,and green beans,cranberry sauce and lemon pie.I had a half chicken and the back that I boiled this morning,made a small pan 8 inch skillet of corn bread,2 ribs of celery and half of very large onion,a couple eggs,half a stack of saltines and 2 hot dog buns .It made up a 9x13 inch casserole dish so we enjoyed dressing today but I will freeze a lot to have later.It was so good I don't know why we think it's just for a holiday.
