Sauerkraut Pancakes

Brrrrraaaaatttss!

Summer eats tonight! Brats on the grill with jazzed up kraut (cook it with apple, potato, brown sugar, and beer). Serve with Hilah Cooking's better than ranch-style beans, then follow with grilled fresh pineapple slices.

Ramen Foo Yung

Eggs, ramen, herb garden herbs, garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce, and baking powder! Whaddya got? Ramen foo yung!

Cold Meal for a Hot Evening

The outdoor temperatures were in the high 90°'s F. here in northern Virginia today. That called for a cool supper -- chilled kimchi sōmen.
The ramen noodles were cooked, rinsed, and chilled. The kimchi was chopped and drained, then mixed with a dressing of rice vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, and Temari soy sauce. The ramen was mixed with the kimchi, and refrigerated a couple of hours until it was nice and cold. A cold beer will go nicely with this.

Hot and Cold Dinner

I poached a salmon fillet and had it chilled with broccoli and sriracha mayonnaise.

Soup's On

Beef-flavored ramen soup with kimchi, carrots, tomato, and cilantro added, plus an egg poached on top.

A Tasty Lunch

Herring, low fat sour cream, rye Wasa crackers, blueberries, and apple make a tasty lunch with a glass of iced tea.

Balls 'n' Greens

Tonight's dinner was meatballs over sautéed garlicky beet greens.

Cucumber Salad for Tomorrow's Party

We're getting together tomorrow with folks from my former place of work, so I made a cucumber salad, using a recipe from Hilah Cooking.

Pickled Beets

I pickled (or marinated) some roasted yellow beets to have with our tuna salad for supper. I probably also will sauté some summer squash with tomatoes. The beets are soaking at room temperature in a mix of cider vinegar, olive oil, dry mustard, shallots, sugar, and S&P.

Light Pre-Storm Supper

We have bad storm warnings, so only a light supper before we needed to take shelter. Sardines in tomato sauce. Rye Toast. Iced coffee. Fruit salad with apriums, strawberries, blueberries, and bananas.

Radish Dip

I made up some radish dip for breakfast. There's fat-free Greek yogurt, radishes and spring onion from the farmers market, cilantro from my herb garden, ground cumin, and S&P, all mixed up. I'll have it with some Wasa crackers.
