You always make it look so beautiful ~ and you take such care in the prep. Impressive.

We went with Lyn & Bill to the last polo match of the season and then out to eat. Then back here and the guys had peach pie alamode for their dessert. I've got one last piece left that I need to find someone to eat for me.

We do the same thing here. That last piece of pie will sit and nobody wants it. but..... If I throw it out, everyone wants it.

I'll bet, besides the Parm, some grated Swiss would be good.
I would just scoop it out with a big serve spoon.

Tina threw a small loaf pan of lasagna together, and baked it in the toaster oven. It was good, and no meat. I don't like meat in my lasagna.
Ooops... forgot....a fluffer nutter for dessert. There is fresh apple pie, but we are all pied out! haaaaaaaa

I had cut a chicken breast into cubes before freezing so it was easy to thaw and then marinate in a soy based sauce. Chicken kebobs, vegetable "spaghetti" and a cucumber strip salad with an Asian dressing....

Isn't that somethin?
Tina mommy made it yesterday the same way.
In the toaster oven.
I told Tina...if it is really hot out, and the A/C is on, I could put the toaster oven on the deck / porch.

We started doing and eating something we haven't had in years!
Cottage Cheese with Canned Peaches, and the syrup. OMG...so good!
I had a small cup style dish, but I'm thinking of more later on.

My mom use to love cottage cheese with corn relish spooned on top.
Of course, she also fixed and ate peanutbutter and dill pickle sandwiches ~ so what the heck do I know if cottage cheese with corn relish is any good ???

instead of ricotta (which I cannot use), I make a mixture of a 'meltable' cottage cheese, egg, parmesan cheese and shredded mozzarella and give it a blitz in my mini chop to make it smooth and well mixed. The mixture mimics ricotta somewhat but isn't as dry and the texture is something I can eat.

but isn't as dry ??? so do you just use it from the container as is? I always mix eggs or egg in mine.

no, I mix the ricotta with the egg and parmesan. It's the texture I cannot get down. Strange, I know, but just not pretty to sit across the table from me when I get it in my mouth.....ewwwwww

I was going to cook my homemade sauerkraut tonight....until I tasted it. A can of Silver Floss Kraut was in the pantry ~ 'just in case'....and the case was: no good sour taste in my homemade. Glad I didn't waste anything more than some cabbage and salt. It sat on my countertop with a cheesecloth cap for four weeks and has been in a closed jar in my refrigerator for probably 2 or 3 weeks. Even after rinsing, it just tastes like salty cabbage. So, I won't be making that again. I don't think a quart jar on the countertop is enough to properly ferment. That's probably why Grandma used lots of heads of cabbage and a huge crock in the 'fruit cellar'.
But, supper was good just the same. Knockwurst w/sauerkraut, Penzey seasoned green beans and the most amazing tasting baby Yukon gold potatoes, smushed & then browned in evoo & a bit of butter, simply seasoned with a little s&p.

Today was a messed up day. DR. chit.... with my vision. over 600.00 and I still cant see out of them. They placed the progressive Segment height in the wrong line of sight.
The opthamologist is senduing me to a neurological opthamologist .... all bull crap...
Anyway, Tina cooked pork steaks with onions and potatoes, and braised it slow.
we ate that with corn, and applesauce. g o o d
Had apple pie alamode. I had vanilla ice cream, and Tina had her favorite...chocolate.
I serviced the A/C system for the main house system, and it's running now. It was hot 77º and but so humid.

Looks great. Maybe you could have rinsed the kraut and it would have been less salty. Or like Tina does...she rinses it a little, and then browns it with onions slow.Black pepper too! ...

When I was stationed in Puerto Rico, we could not get ricotta in the bx.
We used dry cottage cheese, and tina doctored it up with other cheese.
We loved it, and it was the fine curd.
I always add one whole egg, and two egg yolks to my ricotta . Parsely and shredded mozzarella and grated romano cheese...and I always add salt to the mix.
