We usually have soup with our sandwiches,but not tonight with the awful heat outside.
We'll just have chips and cottage cheese instead.
Whatever everybody else is having,I hope it turns out good~

I'm in sandwich mode too. Nothing fancy - just bread and whatever protein have on hand, often with mustard and a handful of baby spinach or lettuce.

Love sourdough bread!!!

Beans and Rice, so good, so fancy, it was gourmet. Found instructions online, but not written down.

Not cooking anymore, even though with a/c running it's cool enough.
Worried about being more frugal, less conspicuous consumption.

Going to try cold sandwiches for the remaining week.
Using sourdough bread.

Confused about what to eat, and when?
Not sure if you feel hungry?

Old-time advice was to take one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar.

I tried it once or twice.

Then decided that I am going to eat whether or not I am hungry.

It's too hot to cook and I don't feel much like eating anyway. Of course that probably won't stop me from noshing on junk food at bed time.

Finding a fridge without a bottom freezer is almost impossible, I have a side by side that came with the house and I really prefer this to the other two options. But I do wish my freezer was a little bit wider because many boxed items don't quite fit.

Way - I chose mine - my new one! Aaargh. Didn't do enough research I guess. Now it's research on how to organize it. Your's will conk out before mine.

@Golden ,

Yes , I hate my bottom freezer ! But the fridge was already in this house when we bought . I have been hoping it would break . But nope , it’s 20 years old and going strong. I miss my side by side fridge/freezer.

cw - it always seems that way when I put the new groceries away, but somehow I get through it all. I trying to discipline myself to eat more from the freezers. They are much too full. The fridge has a bottom freezer and organizing it is a challenge. Vertical arrangement is recommended - like files. That's a new one for me.

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,

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
