What's for dinner?

[Saint_Ann]

Around here it seems as if almost nothing is. Which makes me wonder at the quality of the food that is, supposedly, consumed by Litsters.

I still haven't been to the grocery. Lol.

Look and drool weasels...

Lemon Swiss roll. For, you know, tomorrow's dinner.

Looks a little rich for the run-of-the-mill weasel.

Which is why the ordinary run-of-the-mill deadbeat weasels only get to look and drool.

They don't even deserve that, the tiny bastards.

So, it's Sunday again, and none o' youse guys seem to eat anything pic worthy so it's up to me to liven up your evening.

Baked Pacific Whiting on a rice and cheese casserole with Cauliflower, Broccoli, carrots. Swiss Lemon Roll for dessert.







I fixed the rice first with some stock instead of water. The cheese sauce for the rice is a simple butter/flour/milk bechamel with some Moscato white wine and cheddar. I topped the fish with lemon halves and sprinkled paprika over it before baking to cook the fish.

The Lemon Roll is as divine as the drooling weasels imagine it to be. Lemon flavored cake with cream cheese/lemon filling and frosted with a stabilized Swiss and cream cheese frosting that has lemon juice and zest in it.

Now to start thinking about next Sunday. I have steak, chicken, shrimp, sausage, pasta but no plan yet. Wednesday I'll know what will be on the menu, but for right now I'm basking in the after dinner glow.

^^^^^ drooling weasels. Okay, good. Very good.


It was rather hot yesterday afternoon. Did some work in the yard. Had a big breakfast and more for lunch than maybe I should, and I didn't feel like bothering with food, so I skipped supper.


No food = no pictures.


I did bring casserole, so maybe tonight.

The weasels will be ready to either pounce or drool, depending on the status of that "maybe."

They are always up to something.

Stopped in to see Hamish the Amish at one of the many produce stands over there. Got some tomatoes, cherries, and a couple of canteloupes. Had a tomato for lunch. That'll do it.

You ate a single tomato for lunch?

Did anyone tell you that you're an idiot for doing that?

I'm not offended in the slightest degree. On the contrary, I'm happy you liked my quickie cutting board and made the suggestion.

However, most of those who make those fancy cutting boards are at the top of their game but only because they're unable to transition to bigger/better woodworking.

I've posted these before but I can't seem to get to my pictures album (I suspect those have been eliminated with the new image posting change awhile back).

For me to make cutting boards is a step down in my woodworking skills.

I'm impressed. What is the second piece?

I'm not familiar with the image posting rule changes.

I remember my mom making casseroles when I was a kid. The result was at best bland and sometimes awful. Something that is both a casserole and appetizing is apparently possible. But now I prefer low carb food, so I still probably won't touch another one.

It's a dining room table and 4 chairs in prairie style and made mostly using rift sawn Red Oak and Jatoba with some flat sawn for stretchers/panels.

It disassembles easily for moving yet it's solid enough to dance on (not recommended) and weighs around 200 lbs. You're not going to accidentally bump it and spill anything that's on it.

Originally the design called for solid wood seats but the customer wanted upholstery.

I haven't seen it in nearly 2 decades.

I occasionally run across a tomato that just tastes so good you wonder why the rest of them don't taste like that. Last time it was on a BLT in some tiny hole in the wall place down south of here.

Savored every bite.

There is a variety Back East which is tasty and has a great reputation. My brother knows which plant variety it is, and the rest is the soil in the county it's named for. I'm wondering if I can't come up with something like that when I finish moving Out West.


We'll see.

I think it's a particular plant rather than a species or environment. I've run across it in heirlooms from a garden as well as commercially grown tomatoes. It's always just one out of the whole crate that's like that.

I mean, I've eaten some really good tomatoes, but every once in awhile there's a tomato that puts all other tomatoes to shame. To me that says individual and not species.

I have discovered how much you water has more to do with flavor than variety, tho I have an heirloom variety that my dad gave me seeds from that had been in continuous production for 40 years in 2002, that's not too bad.

Really? I'm not farmer enough to know, I'm more into livestock than growing fodder.

In the case of this variety, however, they simply seem to have a higher batting average of having Damned Fine Tomatoes in the batch you buy.

Not sure yet, but it will be simple.
