What's for Dinner, Fri., Aug. 16, 2024

It's so hot here that I'm just having a fruit-type salad and then going to work. Hopefully it will cool off by 7 because we are building watermelon trellises.

Peach mango caprese salad.

Grape tomatoes, peaches, mangoes, and mozzarella "pearls." Cilantro and basil, chopped. The dressing is balsamic and it also has basil leaves in it.

Served over chopped, crispy iceburg lettuce.

Dessert (much later) will be rocky road ice cream.

the house and garages and too tired to cook. Having the same thing we had last night, taco salad.

Out of ice cream drumsticks 🙁, but when I was looking for ice cream I found two carrot cake cup cakes. So that's my treat before bedtime. 😃

We’re at my mother-in-law’s in Virginia and I don’t care for her cooking! My wife and I ordered out.

I had a half rack of BBQ pork ribs, two skewers of grilled chicken breast meat and six grilled Hawaiian shrimp. It came with a mound of fried onion strings and a large bowl of Cole slaw. Ice cold local lager.

It was a ton of food. It was tenderly delicious.

I’m lying in bed waiting for my stomach to question my dinner choices.
