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 !

Dinner...the plan is ...

Seared Thickly Sliced (2) Beef Tenderloin
Sauteed Fingerlings w/onion, peppers, grape tomatoes
(1) Corn on the Cob (buttered of course;-)

ok...found fennel in the fridge--sauteed that too along with
green onions and everything else I mentioned.
Ate one tenderloin which I shared with Mildred and so enough
food for at least one other meal if not two!
(Had two ears of corn...sweet bicolor Ohio corn, the best!)
