Blistered shishitos on naan bread with mozzarella and roasted red pepper. Kinda' light tonight because I had lunch, which I don't usually do.
For lunch, I had more of my broccoli rabe, tubettini, and bratwursts. Pics:
The above white is minced garlic.
This one shows the tubettini.
With lunch, I had an orange for dessert because citrus fruit helps absorption of vitamins when paired with cruciferous vegetables.
Ginger kombucha and dark Chinese tea to drink.

(1,100 posts)Boy, are things expensive! So we are making our own dinner. Jamaican Vegetable Patties (frozen) and Greek salad. Spaghetti tomorrow night. Frozen pizza whenever.

(1,100 posts)I don't know that I would recommend. We are here for the snorkeling. Should have stayed on St. John's but too expensive.

from the freezer, pepperoni is the only option.
Presumably there will be libations.
We are having our former neighbor out for a visit. He was FLFC's best buddy. I would often feed him when we had a ham, turkey, ribs or made Jambalaya. He volunteered to help us move and was an incredible asset.

(6,820 posts)Mashed taters, homemade creamed corn and fresh sourdough bread from my starter, Betty. The bread's been slow proofing in the fridge overnight and now it's rising again in a warm oven.

(10,655 posts)so that was dinner along with sweet potatoes and home-made apple sauce (I had some apples that were getting elderly. It's just cored apples roughly chopped and simmered until soft, then passed through a food mill, with some butter and cinnamon added)
Which means dinner for the next few days will be based on pork roast leftovers

(37,893 posts)one of my faves.
Speaking of sweet potatoes, I was able to purchase the Japanese blue sweet potato, which I am looking forward to doing ??something?? with.
p.s. I had to laugh at the apples getting "elderly."
Retrograde
(10,655 posts)is that they were rather dry and needed a lot of butter. These were an Okinawan variety, in Hawaii and they werent quite as purple as yours. Ive had some home-grown ones here (grown from grocery store ones) by a better gardener and cook than I am, and they were sweeter and not as dry
Expect some color changes when you cook them
