What are you Cooking the Week of Sepember 13, 2026?

[Mike Nolan]

I should probably have picked tomatoes last weekend, but was busy, and then it rained for several days. I got 10-15 pounds of tomatoes, but I probably threw away 3 tomatoes for every one I picked, because many of them were overripe and the bugs had gotten to them.

I thought that your salmon balls looked great, Len. I usually make patties.

Kimbob--home renovation projects always seem to take forever.

That is sad about your tomatoes, Mike.

We had leftover shrimp with pasta and vegetables for dinner on Thursday. We did our big shopping trip this morning, so an easy meal is always great.

I got enough tomatoes for another batch of sauce, and there are still lots of tomatoes on the vines, but the season is starting to wind down, today may be the last day the temp breaks 90.

I'm making Reubens for supper, starting with making my own Thousand Island dressing.

The Reubens were great, and we both had a salad with the fresh Thousand Island dressing.

That sandwich looks very good, Mike. I love a good Reuben.

Using my trusty Cuisinart food processor, I grated a large yellow zucchini from the farmers market on Friday. That gave me four cups of grated zucchini. I have set aside two cups for muffins and one cup for something else. I used the other cup to make Turkey-Zucchini Loaf with Peach-Dijon Mustard. We had some of it with our first roasted honey nut squash of the season (cut into chunks, tossed in olive oil, and roasted at 375 F for 45 minutes). And microwaved frozen peas.

We are having cooler days, but they are muggy. We have a forecast for torrential rain starting early tomorrow morning and lasting through Sunday. I am hoping that it is not that bad, as I enjoy my Saturday morning farmers market visit.

We had occasional rain on Saturday, but nothing as intense as what was forecast. We will see what happens this evening. I was able to go to the farmers market and to an afternoon presentation by our local historical society. For dinner, we had more of the turkey-zucchini loaf. I made goat cheese and pasta to go with it, and we also had microwaved frozen lima beans.

[RiversideLen]

I had a hamburger with green beans and cauliflower.

Thursday I had raw oysters on crackers with homemade cocktail sauce with horseradish I haven't had in along time, dang good too.Friday I had vegetable soup, today I had grilled chicken thighs, green beans,garden peas and salad.

Len your salmon balls looks good , I'm like BakerAunt I usually do patties.

Mike your Ruben looks wonderful , one of my favorite sandwiches
Kimbob I know you'll be happy when all the renovations are over.It can be stressful.
