Pat Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Grilled garlic bread Grilled lamb burgers Grilled Portabello "burgers" topped with goat cheese and chopped tomatoes Corn on the cob The burgers were plated over arugula from Gardener's Gourmet and served with some chopped, freshly roasted (on the grill) Hatch chiles. I charred and bagged 4 1/2 pounds of chiles before starting on dinner. It's much more pleasant doing that outside than in a kitchen. Leftover corn and some of the chiles will be going into soup of some kind tomorrow. We're finally onto the second loaf of garlic bread from a Costco two-pack and I think the remainder is going to become croutons very soon. It was great grilled, but I'm getting tired of it. There's not really room for it in the freezer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lperry Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I haven't had the opportunity to cook much lately, so tonight was a treat. French style tomato tart with mustard, caramelized onion, herbed chêvre, and some of the last of the tomatoes from the garden. Steamed Romano beans tossed with butter and coarse salt. Roasted cauliflower. All the produce came from the garden with the exception of the cauliflower. I picked it up at H Mart because I was unable to resist a pristine, snowy white, unblemished display. It was awfully good despite our late summer heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Page 265, fagioli all'uccelletto, though w pancetta diced, removed from pan, then onion added. Just the rosemary & parsley as herbs. Pancetta returned to pan w tomato and beans. (Leftovers really good on side with Eggs in Purgatory and crusty toast.) Don't be put off by length of recipes. Ricotta gnocchi recipe the best. Roast chicken w bread salad (or without)--O make this just about every other month. And before the peaches go mealy, the peach crostada. Come spring, the asparagus soup w pancetta and rice!

cjsadler Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Homemade gyros, following the technique here. It tastes surprisingly like that stuff you get off the spit. I always thought that was some weird processed meat product you couldn't really make at home. Pretty simple too, and would be great for a crowd (just slice and broil the meat).

Choirgirl21 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Dan, finally something I don't want a recipe for! I don't typically like salmon, unless it's very mild and sockeye isn't fitting the bill in that regard. Although I must say home grown wild oyster mushrooms do appeal.
