My daughter shared vegetables from her farm co-op. Quick and tasty

At Tin Hat

at our local Mexican restaurant for taco Tuesday. To my surprise she brought me home an order of three soft shell tacos.

in the crockpot for 8 hours ... mushrooms and onions added last 20 minutes.
really good ...

It really turned out well for something I basically made up to use odds and ends. Trouble is, it made at least six servings, so I’ll be eating it for days. I’ve never really adjusted to cooking for one person.

It was a lovely afternoon in the Catskills and we decided to spread our dinner over several hours. There really isn’t any continuity to this meal!

The afternoon was lovely and we had gin & tonics on the banks of the Upper Delaware River where we saw many wildlife while we nibbled on cheddar cheese and apple slices.

Later, I made a couple of salads with a bed of iceberg lettuce. On top went thin slices of red onion, thin slices of orange peppers, capers and a lemon wedge. Then the piece.de resistance : Thick slices of cucumbers with the seeds scooped out and replaced with black lumpfish caviar. Also, cherry tomatoes hollowed out and filled with more caviar. Then the lot was drizzled with olive oil and Balsamic vinegar.

Later still, we had tortolonies stuffed with Parmesan cheese and Prosciutto de Parma and topped with pesto sauce made from the Landlady’s basil crop.

Brandy and “The Remains Of The Day” for dessert.

A good day!

My doctor calls it "mini meals." My brother, who is type 2 diabetic, says doctors love to hear about slow intake of food over several hours because....it keeps the blood sugar down!

I did not know that. You may not need to do that but others on the thread might find it of interest.
