What's for Dinner, Tues., April 21, 2026

Appetizer: hot honey goat cheese roll-ups on flour tortillas

Salad: Empress grape tomatoes (they're black/purple) with diced onions and cucumbers. Olive oil vinaigrette.

Chicken soup with matzoh balls. I'm using a leek from the garden, plus home grown dill, too.

Cherry ginger kombucha.

I'd say I have never had two of theses entree's .... I have had the tomato salad and chicken soup...but not with leeks and dill...

I would try the honey goat cheese tortilla...

I am impressed with your diversity! You got skills.

I tend to eat more easy to prepare simple foods. It's nice to dine vicariously here.

And being somewhat limited in beef consumption for health reasons, I get pretty excited about burgers. Lol

Your market store sounds great!

I hope you enjoyed!

I shop for deals and cook accordingly. Bought short ribs at Aldi for $7.29/lb. Lamb shanks for $5.29/lb. Standing rib roast for $8.99/lb. Picked up some frozen Miso marinated black cod at Publix for $10.99/lb.
I cook fresh/frozen, not packaged, every day.
My meals are generally a B+ to an A-.
I have the therapeutic time.
My shrimp and grits will compete with any top restaurant.
My goal is to make a top notch meal for $2.50 per person. If I go to $6.00 or $7.00 I didn't spend the $25.00+ per entree at a restaurant.
I control the salt.
Coq au vin for 3 nights. Turkey pot pie with a .49/lb turkey. Sandwiches at .49/lb.
Oysters from Whole foods at $1.00 an oyster on Fridays with a Prime account.
I go to Lakeland Seafood and get PEI oysters for $90.00 a hundred and bring to a party.
Some people play games, I read and cook, travel and play a little golf.
