What did you cook or eat today (August 2023)

[Puggles]

"Hawaiian" pizza. Instead of pineapple, I marinaded smoked ham in pineapple juice. Topped with rendered bacon, and red onion. Pineapple doesn't belong on pizza (I have my reasons).

I do like ham on pizza, and I guess it would be okay if it was marinaded in pineapple.

I made my "comfort zone" seafood and vegetable/herb pasta. I don't have to even think when I make this dish. I never measure anything and the ingredients vary slightly each time, but it always turns out from really good to great. Tonight it was seared sea scallops and large shrimp with sautéed red and yellow bell peppers, jalapeño, shallot, mushrooms, garlic, zucchini, spinach, and fresh basil over penne with a creamy cajun-seasoned white wine and lemon sauce, topped with parmesan cheese. No pics but so good!

Very beautifully colorful! What dressing and what are the little seeds?

Our first stop, about 90 minutes from the house, for a mid-morning snack:

Interstate rest stops almost always have an array of barbecue grills:

Have I ever, in 57 years, seen anyone ever use one? Nope.

What kind of breading is that? It looks kind of like Italian bread crumbs then pan-fried? That looks really great.

Thank you. The chicken was dredged in heavily seasoned (my own house blend seasoning) all-purpose flour, that's all. Then shallow fried in peanut oil.

That makes me want to do it. I think next time I take a road trip I will make sure to have some charcoal and a couple hamburgers, buns, and condiments (probably some packets) in the car!

I wonder if in the winter homeless or hitchhikers use them to stay warm? I imagine they can find some trash to burn in them

The high tea my friend made for me

Tea cake and Victoria sponge ( with lemon cream, my favorite!)

Kladdkaka and homemade bread ( toppings to taste, I had some cucumber & tuna sandwiches)

A pic of the beautiful inside of the main cake it was all delightful!
