What's for Dinner, Thurs., May 16, 2024

Spicy Shrimp with Bang Bang Sauce. A friend brought this for me. The shrimp are huge! He said, "Thank you for making me salad." Sweet of him, I thought.

Sliced cucumber salad in tarragon sour cream (Fage, my fave). Tiny bits of Vidalia onion. Half a no-carb pita with olive oil butter.

Pineapple mango kombucha.

Dessert: no sugar ice cream and a walnut cake cube. I made peppermint tea from fresh leaves. Then I added a little agave. Heavenly! Makes the house smell wonderful, too.

It was a long day followed by a long drive. Too tired to cook.

Medium supreme pie with sausage, pepperoni, black olives, onions, green peppers, pizza sauce and cheese. Caesar salad and Chianti.

with couscous, some of my homemade giardianera, and morels (sort of local - they're from several counties north and they were at a semi-reasonable price. A few ounces go a long way!)

And a dessert - peach shortcake!
