Sounds delicious! @marlingardener , let us know how how you fared. Tonight we are having shrimp & chorizo paella. I'll let you know how it is.
This, fresh out of the oven. And then turned over, ready to serve, with whipped cream. Sorry, the pictures are in the wrong order.
I love the fresh dessert dishes of summer. B made a blackberry cobbler that disappeared quickly. She made a very traditional lasagna and garlic bread.
I had a seafood jones reading that. I like shrimp quesadillas but only had crab in a can. So I made poblano crab blackbean quesadillas. I did have an avocado for the guacomole type sour cream. Tonight we had fried chickpea and humus stuffed pita bread and a feta cheese salad.
Those are good! B has to have them from time to time so I get to enjoy them as well! @Cayuga Morning did you use saffron?
You know, Dirt-- The thing that glared out at me on your table scene was not the edibles, rather the glass of ice tea. Mate, how I miss that. I can make it here, but it just doesn't taste the same.
Thanks for that secret. I am going to try that when the weather goes bad this summer. I shall have to come up with a way to make ice cubes tho. Some folks have little trays but very few. Ice cubes at home are not common here. There was a guy in my apt. building that had one of those American monster-fridges with all the tooters and bells on it...including a built-in ice cube maker. Cool, right. Well, he was away on one of his yachting trips and those trips can last 6 months or more. One day one family on the floor below him noticed some leakage. In the entrance hall to the building there was a huge bolus of water that broke through and splashed down. The management folks looked and looked and after eliminating everyone else they were left with his apartment. They had to use the pass key to get in and found that his fancy coolerater was broken and leaking water like a Bible happening. There were astronomical costs related to this incident. No ice tea for that bad boy.
Our fridge has an ice maker and water pass through from the freezer side. The ice maker works fine, although it is hard to turn off or on because of the positioning of the switch. The water line is frozen. We have to let the freezer side of the appliance stand open for two or three hours to thaw the line so we get water from the water feature. It would cost about $200 to rectify the design flaw. We refuse to pay the maker for their mistake. Since we have acquired an upright freezer since buying the refrigerator/freezer side by side, when we have to replace the fridge we will get the simplest, non-cumputerized refrigerator that we can find. Appliances are supposed to make your life simpler and easier.
