Scallop Kebabs

Made with:

brussel sprouts

mushrooms

cherry tomatoes

onion

scallops

A simple but communal meal!

Core bought a serving set for sake -- a delicate Japanese alcoholic drink, meant to be sipped (and thoroughly enjoyed).

And the last of the peppers (even though I do not like them) from Steve's garden!

Farmer's Market ($0.65)

1 onion

1 cucumber

1 carrot

1 head o' broccoli

Kabobs!

A kabab buffet!

A spread of fixings, including:

yellow peppers

cherry tomatoes

mushrooms

purple onions

shrimp

chicken breast

(I, for one, left the first and last out.)

Bore (beer in hand) was grill master, and well he did.

and hence -- a perfectly cooked shrimp!

Spring Grilling

Spring's first grilling! Ears of corn wrapped in foil with onions, butter and garlic, and a burger with cheddar on fresh bread....

What could beat that?!

Prosciutto Pizza

Just a little late, ever-so-salty, ever-so-delicious dinner.

prosciutto

sliced onion

vodka sauce

mozzarella cheese

Played my first tennis of the season tonight!

(More) Mushroom Pizza

Mushroooooooms

Tonight, after acquiring a snuffle-ridden and phlegm-bidden sickness and missing two days of work, I made an actual food dinner.

The cutest of button mushrooms, first sauteed in:

olive oil

onion

thai style curry blend

and then left to simmer in some cheap Pinot Grigio.

Afterward I baked these in wonton wrappers with spinach and lots of cheese, but that's not important: the star, here, is the mushrooms. Delicious alone. Why did I not think to offer any to Ma'am?!

Spinach Pizza Repeats-a

We used this simple crust:

1 pkg yeast dissolved in 1 c. warm water

2 c. flour

2 tbsp olive oil

salt & pepper

lots of basil

oregano

After the crust rose, we rolled it out and spread it with olive oil and pesto, and then used sliced-up tomatoes instead of sauce. After covering that with spinach and diced onions, and then had to face our differences. Simon didn't want to eat some "strange-tasting" block feta cheese, so I put that on my side, and he covered his with crumbled feta (bought today) and green peppers. When I say covered, you can see that I truly mean covered.

More Couscous

A simple dish! Made of microwaved leftovers, & c.

couscous

steamed broccoli

onions

shredded Parmesan cheese

parsley

basil

salt

pepper

olive oil

(Not Quite A) Vegetable Enchilada

I visited Bee this weekend at her school, and we spent glorious hours playing celtic music with two beautiful friends. When we stopped, hunger struck, and we hurried to the dining hall. Here I snuck fresh vegetables into my bag to bring back to school with me. It's called a budget, people, and living this way is tough -- taking chances on sour milk and risking the wrath of the hawk-eyed lunch ladies. But the payoff is divine! This dinner used the vegetables deliciously.

1. Fry wheat wraps in olive oil on high heat.

2. Make a pile in the center of:

spinach

cucumbers

broccoli

green olives

green pepper

onions

feta cheese

3. Roll up and put in baking pan; cover with shredded Parmesan cheese.

4. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or so, until cheese is melted.

They were a strangely filling meal, which I did not expect. And vegetarian! Although we are assuredly not.
