What's for Dinner, Sun., April 6 , 2025

Creamy Goat Cheese & Roasted Red Pepper Orzo

I used to have the Recipe Tin cookbook but I can't find it now. Regardless, I found this recipe online.
Red onion, garlic, fire-roasted peppers, tomato puree, Kalamata olives and....goat cheese!

It's topped with basil and parsley.

Ginger-lemon kombucha.

Dessert: Cotton Candy grapes and vanilla thins (cookie). Decaf coffee.

It's barbecue season, a rack of ribs in the smoker and Mac and cheese on the side with Texas Toast made with sourdough bread.

Just a note, all year is barbecue season for me. Although zero degrees F is my cut off.

However, I often want to cook on the grill in the cold of winter, so I checked Co-pilot:

You can use a grill even in freezing temperatures, as long as safety precautions are taken. However, grilling in colder weather requires a bit more effort. The grill will need more time and fuel to reach and maintain the desired temperature, as cold air can sap heat quickly.
As a general guideline, people often grill successfully down to temperatures around 20°F (-6°C). Below that, it becomes increasingly difficult, but it's still possible with the right setup and determination. Wind and snow are often more problematic than just cold air, as they can make it harder for the grill to stay hot.


20 degrees!

But it doesn't sound like a very efficient way to cook something. Ratz.

zucchini, green pepper, jalapeno pepper, onion, garlic, broccoli, mixed vegs, and okra. I had some carbs earlier, so this was enough

Will make a grilled sandwich on dark pumpernickel, a schmear of PB, ham, and vegan Swiss cheese, zapped in my IP.

Fresh strawberries for dessert.

Tomorrow? Another sammy for my work lunch, and split pea soup with ham for dinner!

Ah, it’s good to have food in the house again.

a New York Times recipe, not including a link because we found it rather "meh". Had it with farro, and strawberries, lightly sugared, for dessert. The strawberries were the best part.

I didn't post last night, but we had a nice supper of sauteed cabbage, onions, potatoes and turkey sausage. No recipe because I just winged it.
