What's for Dinner, Mon., Memorial Day, May 26, 2025

[NJCher]

Onion Pie with Lavender and Caramelized Onions.

I wanted to try using my lavender. It has bacon (I will use turkey bacon), eggs, cream, and gorgonzola.

Tossed green salad with fennel, apple, celery, and Caesar dressing.

Pomegranate blueberry kombucha.

Dessert: no-sugar apple cake. Decaf coffee.

1. Oven ribs, baked cottage sweet potatoes

I had things on hand and had no plans to go out

I simmer the ribs in a seasoned broth. When they are tender, I remove them and boil the broth down to sauce. When it's thick enough, I sauce the ribs and broil them on both sides.

I seasoned the sweet potato slices with salt, pepper, cayenne and granulated maple sugar then roasted them at 425 in a little sunflower oil, turned them after 20 minutes and roasted for 5 more.

I'll have some ice cream later

Enjoy the Memorial Day weekend

2. One of my neighbors to the south of me is grilling steaks

The smell is ah-may-zing


I am planning on hot dogs, baked beans & watermelon, decafe tea though.

3. Salmon Salad Wraps

Chopped up the leftover salmon and asparagus from last night and added celery, onions, mayo and some black pepper. Wrapped in a flour tortilla.

Mug of decaf green tea from Bigelow.

4. Memorial Day dinner outside the U.S.

It's an ex-pat dinner we're hosting for some of our new neighbors in Panama.

Appetizer
Choice of duck pate on sliced French bread or caviar with hard-boiled egg and chopped onions on Carr's crackers. Cold champagne.

Entree
Grilled New York strip steaks with a sauce of portobello mushrooms, onion and garlic.
Quartered potato wedges marinated in olive oil, salt, black pepper and fresh Rosemary then grilled on all sides.
Salad with Romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, green pepper rings and pine nuts with a creamy Italian dressing.
French Cote du Rhone red wine.

Dessert
Panamanian coffee.
Tropical fruit salad of pineapple, papaya, mango and green grapes.
Brandy, if anyone wants it, (no one is driving today!).

Respectful gratitude to those who gave the last measure of devotion for the people of the United States.

11. I was thinking

About a fruit salad like that all day. Now here it is the end of the day, and here’s the fruit salad!

No matter where you go you always look out with the neighbors.😊

5. BBQ baby back ribs, french fries and coleslaw

and it only cost $5.00 at the Gold Nugget casino. It was a special only for veterans. Plus $25.00 free slot play and I turned that into $130.00 to take home.

After the casino I went to the National Cemetery to visit my dad and brother.

Good Evening

8. My daughter's birthday.

She likes tacos as much as I do. Flour tortillas, ground pork (taco seasoning), shredded lettuce, finely diced tomatoes, sour cream.

Awesome.
