What's for Dinner, Mon., Aug. 26, 2025

I'm posting early due to a dental appointment.

The Thai Coconut Chicken soup that I made 2 days ago. Turned out really good and will be even better with more time for the flavors to blend. Cilantro sprinkled over the top.

Asian-style cucumbers in mirin. Cucumbers are from my garden.

Peach kombucha.

Dessert: Small piece of sweet cake I bought at the Hispanic grocery store. I intend to put yogurt over the top and fruit, too. Cup of tea, dark Chinese.

I might experiment with grilling acorn squash slices tonight. I want to marinate them in orange sauce and use them for a salad tomorrow.

Went to Mt Rainier for berries but it’s too early. So I went to the casino. Won! And bought Pho and brisket bao buns. Super good. Used too much gochugan.
There were also red and green jalapeños!
Sky Kraken beer.

I was looking for a red jalopeno for my soup when I made it a couple days ago. Couldn't find one to save my life.

and I don't feel like cooking. I found an avocado, leftover tomato from lunch's BLTs, and some Korean chicken we grilled yesterday. Mixed the tomato and chicken and stuffed them into the avocado.
