What's for Dinner, Sat., Aug. 31, 2024

My friend made me a pasta dish using orechiette. It had broccoli rabe, parmesan, and ground lamb. He's a pretty good cook. The RG taught him.

Along with it, a tossed green salad. It had the usual fresh summer veggies from my garden, like cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, green pepper slices, and scallions. Caesar dressing and wonton strips for crunchiness.

Kombucha: ginger.

For dessert, dark chocolate and quinoa crisps. A half coffee/half milk.

Comfort food for a dank day.

Ground beef, chopped pork sausage, garlic, onion, green pepper, celery, black pepper, salt, chili powder, cumin, tomato sauce & paste and diced tomatoes slow cooked in a crockpot.

Served with dinner rolls and a simple green salad.

Chocolate ice cream for dessert.

Tandoori chicken, dal mahkni, basmati rice and onion kulcha. Medium spice and the best mango chutney I've found -- Geeta's.

I hope they carry Geeta's in the NY area.

I have this cauliflower pie I make in the fall. It's a Mollie recipe. I've been making it for years. It is so good with mango chutney.

It's pricier than say, Crosse and Blackwell, but worth it.

But not at Whole Foods. Go figure? Maybe size difference; I didn't look at it that closely.

Do you like it? Do you make it? Buy a variety case of flavors? I just wondered because you have it every day.

I drink it 'cuz it tastes good. I used to buy it but now I have learned to brew my own and it's easy. It wasn't easy at first, though.

I'm glad I learned how to brew my own because kombucha prices have risen, just like almost all other grocery items. I noticed GT's kombucha was $4.69 at Whole Foods today--GT’s 13.5 oz bottle. I definitely go through at least one 13.5 oz bottle a day.

It does have health benefits. I belong to a kombucha forum and every now and then someone will post about a benefit they feel they have received from drinking kombucha. The most recent one was someone who thought it helped with mood elevation.
