The watermelon was pretty good ITRR. I dug through the bin to find the one with the yellowest bottom and so far that method hasn't failed me, it they are all just white or green I won't buy.

CWillie, how was the watermelon? Every single one i have got this summer has been so very good.

Your dinner sounds delish!

I've finally cleared out almost all of the backlog of veggies in my fridge so tonight I'm having green beans fresh from my garden, some local corn-on-the-cob (on sale this week at my nearby stores), and a sausage. It will probably be watermelon for dessert

Waytomisery, if we go I will definitely go there, it's on my bucket list, I loved the two Broadway plays I saw. They were AMAZING, Wicked, and Jersey Boys. Hubs has never been to one,

Have fun at your baseball game!!!

Daisy ,

If you go , go to 5 Napkin Burger . Very juicy .

We are fortunate to have a number of universities by me that do plays as well as some music venues where famous ( albeit older ) bands come to perform . We also have minor league baseball and minor hockey ( my favorite sport ) 20 minutes away, I’m good where I am . There has been alot added the 20 years I’m here. Getting too crowded here too .
We are going to a baseball game this Saturday night . First time in a few years .

Way, I keep thinking about planning a bus trip to the city, just for a Broadway play, but as far as the city , I have no interest. Lol went a few times. Way to many people, for me!! I'd deal with the people though for Broadway Play.

Hothouse,

Glad you had the best burger and fries ever!! At least the best as far as I know !

I don’t think I’ll get DH to go back to Manhattan unless it’s to see the 9/11 museum , which is no where near 5 Napkin Burger . ( Although, I think there used to be a 5 Napkin in lower Manhattan that closed ). DH worked at World Trade in the first building that fell . He left that job a year before the attacks . Former coworkers were killed that day . To be honest I don’t want to go to the museum . Too sad . I’m not looking to go to NYC , nor Long Island where we grew up , in general anytime soon . It’s changed so much . We moved away 20 years ago , happy where we are . We were going back and forth to LI to see MIL who died 3 months ago . Now we only have a few distant relatives left who we saw at funerals . We have one couple we are friends with still there . Everyone has moved away .

Way, After going to see Superman with a friend on Monday night, we went to the 5 Napkin Burger on Broadway at 86th. It was excellent. Thanks for the recommendation.

By the way, a friend just told me of an app called Today's Tix, you can purchase discounted tickets to Broadway shows. It was so inexpensive that the last time I was in NYC I binged -- saw Gypsy, Wicked, Cabaret and Just Friends. That was a treat. Didn't have to stand on a long line to purchase tickets which could be for hours.

Hothouseflower,

Is it Carnegie Deli in the theatre district ?

Also LOVE …5 Napkin Burger . Best burgers on the planet ! There is one in Hell’s Kitchen sort of near the broadway shows too . My MIL had a cousin who was a dance choreographer , we went a few times to shows with free or cheap tickets many years ago . Broadway shows are way too expensive now.

The other 5 napkin burger is on the upper west side I think . But you have to go , if you like a good quality juicy Angus beef.

Whenever we're in NYC, DH and I have to go to our favorite Jewish deli at least once. We did that today. Matzoh ball soup, knishes, pastrami on rye. The best. And no cooking!

Tonight was a bust. I baked the almond flour corn type bread again and added more spices and didn't get a good balance. I'll eat it but won't enjoy it much unless the flavours sort themselves out as it cools more.

Then I roasted some eggplant and over did them. They aren't quite charred but they are dry. Last batch took ages to roast. Go figure! Not sure I'll eat them.

I did manage to freeze some cubed fruit a neighbour gave me from a do yesterday without spoiling it, lol, so all is not lost. There were some nice
pieces of pineapple that I didn't freeze but feasted on which were a real treat. I don't have pineapple often.

Guess I'll finish off the rest of the cold ribs. R's out at the farm fending for himself.

I roast veggies with some seasoning and eat them hot then snack on them cold later. Some I chop up and freeze for soups, stews etc.

I'm in the process of figuring out how to organize my bottom freezer so I can find them more easily.

CWillie, I love to grate zucchini and use it in a cottage pie as an additional veggie with peas, carrots, potatoes and a bit of tomato.

Of course, zucchini bread is another great use.

I have had the disappointing results you mention with your stir fry, I like to use liquid amino acids to brighten it up and I never make polenta with anything but French onion soup as my liquid, game changer, especially when you add some fresh sautéed onions, mmmmmmgood!

Daisy, your everything sprinkle sounds goods on zucchini, I bet it is a great seasoning for any veggie.

Edit: another tastie way to cook zucchini, slice length wise, drizzle some olive oil, put lots of garlic powder, salt and pepper then grill on both sides. Or cut length wise and drizzle with a little olive oil, garlic powder to taste and put shredded parmesan on top and bake until the cheese is golden

Speaking of zucchini.... it's that time of year again and as of this morning I have three in my fridge. I already used two others in marinara and my sad veggie dinner the other night, what to do next 🤔

I had steak tips , baked potatoes, and zucchini 😋, it was delicious!!

Tonight is whatever we find in the kitchen.

Cwillie, I am really starting to enjoy more veggies myself.

Hm, maybe if I had made a white sauce with Italian seasoning for my veggies it would have been better (although I usually love my veggies just as they are)

I made my first attempt at a white sauce with Creole season and garlic. I added small shrimp, corn, instant mash potatoes for thickening (added too much water and frozen corn), and finally Penne pasta. It was good.

My dinner was a big disappointment, I made a stir fry of veggies and served them over polenta with parmesan and mozzarella but it was bland and sad ☹️

Now I'm hungry. Golden, Daisy yummy!

Daisy, we love our mini split units. We have duct work (that we sealed after installing minis) but those things make central air feel like ceiling fans. Ours are both air and heat and we can't figure out why they aren't in all new construction. Easy to install, easy to care for, keeps rooms exactly the temp you want and energy efficient.

Golden, nice to see you! I had smashed potatoes, some new potatoes, comes in a bag , you put it in the microwave for 7 minutes, then smash them. They are delicious!! Ribs pre seasoned and easy and 🌽 and 🍅

Been cleaning, and cleaning, super tired and a bit sore!!

Finally a break today from the humidity, so nice to have a day without the ACs on. Probably going to get a mini split next year. Can't take the noise from the window ACs, and not fun for hubs to take them in and out. I would love central air, but that would cost a fortune, because we don't have any duct work.

Golden yes, from the Thousands islands!

We had a lot of fun, a couple of boat tours, to islands, stopped and went in Bolt Castle. Had a fun small tour with 2 other couples. Lots of restaurants, and learned all about the history of the Gilded age and the
Artistics.
