Wednesday night’s dinner was stir-fry, using the leftover rotisserie chicken, along with a red bell pepper and snow peas from our garden, as well as celery, carrots, green onion, and broccoli. As usual, we used soba noodles.

For Friday’s dinner, I made a red cabbage slaw/salad, using Deb Perelman’s Buttermilk salad dressing recipe that I used a couple of weeks ago. The small red cabbage came from the farmers market. I think that dressing needs something. I made a half recipe and increased the sugar by ½ tsp., and I added ¼ tsp. celery seed and some pepper, but it seems slightly bland.

I also made applesauce, using some “seconds” from the farmers market. It was a different variety from what I used when I made some a few weeks ago, but they too made good applesauce. I’ll try to get some more seconds tomorrow. I also made that roasted fingerling potatoes recipe again.

My husband cooked boneless pork ribs (nothing fancy, just dry in the nonstick pan) to accompany the meal. We were both noting how much easier it is now for the two of us to work in the redesigned kitchen.

Glad to hear your kitchen redesign is proving functional, after all the time and expense.

Tonight Diane had a steak salad and I had a tomato and salami sandwich.

On Saturday, I’m making poultry stock, using the frozen remains of a turkey breast and the remains of the rotisserie chicken we had this week. Possibly some soup may be on the menu soon. It's a cool, almost windless day, which was not good news for the regatta being held on the lake. The sailboats were literally just sitting there. The race was called off, and the sailboats had to pull in their sales and be towed back.

I am making Hot Pepper Relish, using red bell peppers, jalepenoes, and onions. It's a recipe I created to "copy-cat" the Farmhouse Red relish that Stonewall Kitchen makes. I'm also making a pasta dish for dinner: bowties, with marinara, hot Italian sausage slices, peppers and onions.

[Mike Nolan]

My wife is making grape jelly today/tomorrow. She's cooked and juiced the grapes, she'll make the jelly tomorrow. (The Farm Journal cookbook recommends letting the juice sit overnight, the jelly is less likely to grow sugar crystals, not sure why.)

[Joan Simpson]

No cooking here tonight it's fend for yourself,husband made him a turkey sandwich with pork-n-beans I had turkey sandwich with chex mix.
