June, 2020 ~ What we're cooking all day long?

I've got some bacon ready to go into the oven ~ BLT's on the menu for tonight.

I got a couple heirloom tomatoes at Fresh Market and I'm hoping they will taste like tomatoes even though they are strange colors.

I just finished making a very small bowl of macaroni salad to go with the sandwiches tonight.

Good start for the month of June....
?? Clueless for what to have here??
Something light.

They have just slapped a 6pm curfew on the whole county tonight. I haven't heard much about about violence or looting but the San Bernardino DMV was set on fire last night and there was some looting.

I have a can of Der Weinerschnitzel chili that i am going to try on hot dogs tonight. Some cheese, mustard, onion and it should be good.

I just can't comprehend what is going on in your cities. I am not a praying person, but I think I'm gonna start.

Picked up three rabbits today to make all the dinners I have promised to people. I'm going to be busy!

Tonight we did have the BLT's & macaroni salad.....

The tomatoes I got at Fresh Market were just OK. I really miss my good Midwest tomatoes!

The hot dogs were good. The chili wasn't too hot and Joe wolfed down 3. Made more cookies for dessert.

What is funny is that I saw on the news that the protest have hit England. London, Manchester and Cardiff.

They have shop owners that had their stores damaged and looted in Santa Monica boarding up their stores. The owners have come together and are going to sit front and back of their stores. They are armed with guns.

Protests (although no riots/destruction) also in major cities in Canada.  In solidarity, but Canada is not blameless either.  My sister is married to a black man and has definitely also experienced racism.  So, so sad.

As long as there are people, there will be racism. It is something, that I believe, can never be eliminated,

Two rabbits are just about finished in the oven. Pot of red cabbage is done, and divided up in containers. Yukon gold potatoes are roasting in the oven. DIL's dad gets one dinner, 87 year old uncle another one. I will have one. I'm delivering, cause in this era of Covid19, I surely can't have them here for dinner. I would prefer that, but what can we do, right???

And I'm sure the gentlemen would love to come and share the meal at your home, Lore, but (considering the ages....and vunerability for just being out and about) they will be more than happy to have a home-delivered meal to savor for a couple days. I'm sure everyone appreciates your effort.

Yes, the gentlemen have also known each other for many years.

Italian wedding soup is done ( thanks to Tina ).
I just had a cup as a test sample. Ummm! Good!
Beer brat and Italian sausage by Johnsonville to try for supper tonight.

Yesterday I put one of the frozen Provencal marinated steaks in the refrigerator to thaw for today. Cooked it over charcoal and it couldn't have been tastier! We both like it sliced thin across the grain so it's super tender. We split a baked sweet potato, I cut the corn off two cobs of fresh Florida sweet corn and made another batch of Grandma's Summer Salad.

I have an outlet in the downstairs bathroom that has a breaker switch that has been shutting off and it also shuts down the only outlet in the garage where the old refrigerator is located. When I push the reset button it does not switch back on right away. i have to wait a few hours before the button will work. The refrigerator in the garage finally died completely and I think it was what was causing the shutdown. A new smaller refrigerator was installed today and I hope that will end that problem. We had 5 Guys hamburger tonight. [img:4a64]https://i.servimg.com/u/f43/18/54/56/75/20200610.jpg

You sound like me, Norm......gotta have that extra refrigerator/freezer.

Ribs on the grill tonight ~ red beets & sweet potatoes, too.

Too hot to cook in the house so outside it was.

I knew Dane would be happy with salmon for his supper ~ but I'm not a fan. I don't even like the smell of it, and that's why I cook it on the gas grill on a grill mat. But then I was in a quandry of what to fix for myself. And that's when I remembered the stone crab claws I bought when we went to the fish market about an hour west of here in Homosassa, FL. I've never fixed it before so I did a couple 'youtube' videos to get some ideas.

It was a PITA to crack ~ the shells are either super thin or super thick. So, if you give it a good 'WHACK !!!' it shatters into a mess. And if you don't hit it hard enough it's hard to break apart.

But I will say, once I got it figured out ~ I cracked & broke it all apart and put it into my 'butter dipping dish' ~ and reheated it when I finally got done ~ it was really tasty. I've only had it served to us in a restaurant once and they served it cold. Didn't care for it.....I didn't think it had any flavor. They served it with a 'honey-mustard' dipping sauce and that is definality not a favorite of mine.

Steaming to heat:



Crab supper:




Salmon for HIM:

Yummy! Yummy! Yummy those crab claws. I love crab just with some butter!

I have two small pork chops waiting to go on my indoor grill. Yumm! Local asparagus to go with them.

Joe had a huge burger for lunch and says he isn't going to eat for 3 days. I had some leftover lasagna.

Katie went in for a mamogram at 4:30, promptly had an attack of narcolepsy and ended up in the hospital. She called to tell us what happened but doesn't know what hospital she is in. Her blood pressure was very high so they are running some tests. I hope they keep her over-night because she won't be able to drive and I can't drive at night. That means Joe may have to go pick her up and then the two of them go back tomorrow to get her car. It is probably still in the dr's office parking lot. I hope it doesn't get towed or broken into.
