I forgot to post this ... this past Sunday we had Neighborhood Gal Pal Happy Hour at Mrs. Next Door Neighbor's house and I was going to make this:

Well, I opened up a "pop `n fresh" tube of crescent dough sheet, only to find BOTH of the tubes I had were well past expiration, truly!
Plan B!!!

I've always got an assortment of Cheeses, Olives and some sort of Sausage/Salami ... this is my coveted Hickory Farms Beef Summer Sausage. DH had not just the day before asked me, "when the heck are you going to open this up for us?"
:laugh:

Improv FTW.
 
NOLA style crab au gratin with soldiers, roasted and marinated red bell strips and onions, pickled zucchini spears and green beans. I normally can't finish my serving of crab au gratin because it is rather rich, so I decided to serve with the veges. Ate every bit on my plate tonight.

It's a lovely Pot Roast and Gravy, you add the sides.

I had half of a Baked Russet Potato leftover (I ate only a quarter of it) and made up some steamed Peas.
THAT was so stinkin' delicious!!! I really could just drink a mug of the gravy :love:
DH isn't feeling well, so I ate solo, no problem!
I wrapped up a plate for him if he wants it later.

Well that didn't last very long!
I heard this tiny forlorn voice coming from the bedroom, "what smells so good?"
Dinner, you want some?
"Oh, maybe I'll try just a little, I dunno, I just don't feel well"
He ate the whole plate :laugh:
 
It's been hot here, too hot to eat anything warm or hot, so I'm making cold soups again at the moment. This one is a no cook recipe, Recipe - Chilled Avocado and Coconut Soup which been making now for a number of years. I've modified the recipe slightly. I use 3 green chillies, seeds and all, and I've added the coriander stems and roots to the soup base which was made with coconut water instead of plain water. I've omitted the 2 tsp of veg bouillon powder though. Served with some tempeh and boiled brown basmati rice allowed to cool.

Chilled Avocado & Coconut Soup served with brown basmati rice

Made with avocado, soy yoghurt, green chillies, garlic, ginger, coconut, coconut water, lemon...

It is surprisingly filling and quite tasty.

The recipe asks to set the biga out for 12-16 hours. I let it sit for 24 hours, so that might be important if you're gonna make this. The chew and texture on the crust, especially the bottom. Was incredible. I used a roll to make a sandwich for work. It was the best ham and Swiss sandwich I ever had. Bread should always be treated as an ingredient and NOT a vehicle.
