What's for Dinner, Sat., Sept. 30, 2023

I'm not making dinner tonight because I'm making so many things with my garden bounty. I'll just munch along the way:

--zucchini crust pizza

--starting my first batch of kimchi. Headed to the Asian grocery to get dashi and dried shrimp

--probably Ina Garten's Brussels sprouts with balsamic

Also I'm flavoring this round of kombucha with fresh raspberries.

Lotsa' work!

We had dinner at our neighbor’s the other night. Nadya is a widow who is full of life and good humor and she’s an awesome chef. She made a beef stew with a Latvian twist and gave us the left overs. With mashed potatoes and a tomato & cucumber salad, it’ll be delicious!

And turned it into salsa seafood. We ate the chicken, but there was still a lot of sauce and rice left. I added steamed flounder and some shrimp, that cooked quickly in the sauce.

running the oven of course! Homemade pizza and then apple crisp for dessert. Salads with local vegetables too.

I put half bread flour and half AP flour in the crust, it came out nice and crunchy.
