Did I make this?

Out come the Chinese dishes for Chinese take-away

No...well just the green parts! My favorite Chinese/American take-away
food combination and enough for two meals. The addition of fresh
veggies, melon just seems to round it all out.

Summer Favorites ...

I'm addicted to crispy fried chicken legs,
new potatoes w/lemon zest & juice, olive oil, green onion
Warm or room temp. with fresh tomatoes!

Fresh sweet cherry tomatoes seasoned just like a salad and
mixed with hot fini linquine. Another dish hot or room
temp.! and this with the addition of toasted seasoned
bread crumbs which makes this a little less runny and
a little nutty in flavor.
This is also quite good with cherry tomatoes halved and
sauteed in olive oil...herbs, garlic of course.
No cheese necessary!

Baked Calmyrna figs ...

(2nd box of these and now using puff pastry...fresh cream)

It's the season and I could not pass up the crate of figs at the grocery.
Tonight...two whole figs, prepared pastry, sweet butter, honey, cinnamon, sugar
with a dollop of mascarpone.

Gazpacho ...

How pretty this is and the tomatoes have not been chopped yet

A combination of Laura Calder's totally pureed cold tomato soup which also
included a little bit of bread crumbs and freshly made buttered croutons
and
a gazpacho recipe that appealed to me with some bits to chew.
This along with a bit of cold chicken was a very pleasant dinner and will provide
an anticipated lunch for tomorrow.

Stuffed Peppers~~Roasted Potatoes in Tomato Sauce


A favorite winter time dish, but the local church thrift
sent me off with a bag or two of free! fresh produce.
Stuffed peppers called out to me and I made good use
of that hot oven by also baking a loaf of dark fruit & nutty
brown bread.
A week of food !
