What's for Dinner, Mon., June 15, 2026

Spicy Cajun Tiger Prawns.

Roasted corn, done in the air fryer. I cut off the corn and mix it with butter on a sheet pan. I might sprinkle it with chopped fresh cilantro.

Kombucha: Blueberry.

Dessert: Blackberries in sauce (fresh lemon juice, agave) over white cake. Decaf coffee.

The Landlady is making her famous southern fried chicken in grandpa's huge cast iron pan using a spoonful of bacon grease for flavor, (my cardiologist would be appalled!).

Corn on the cob and cole slaw. Chocolate chip cookies for dessert.

~ Grilled chicken breasts marinated in homemade maple balsamic dressing

~ Salad with iceberg lettuce, roasted kale, tomatoes, red peppers, black olives, Parmesan cheese. Probably homemade ranch dressing.

~ Green beans sautéed in a small amount of olive oil with pepper and lemon added….somewhat blackened in an old cast iron skillet.

~ Lemon water

~ Just went crazy and sprang for a container of Tillamook chocolate/peanut butter ice cream. Just a small bowl though….to make it last.

... pounded marinated chicken breast (garlic, oregano, lemon, olive oil) on a bun with tomato and onion.

It looks like a lot of people are eating chicken one way or another tonight.

Soaked brown basmati rice for an hour. Then sweated chopped onion, carrots, green pepper, jalapeño pepper, cut green beans minced ginger and garlic. I added the rice, chickpeas, a slurry of broth and Rani Biryani spice paste, bay leaf, cinnamon stick and more broth before covering. Midway through cooking I added golden raisins and slivered almonds. Made a plant based cucumber raita as a condiment and toasted some naan. Cheers!🥂

Serving those with a seaweed salad and some leftover kale salad. Tomato slices also. Wine.
Later, the last of the brownies with some coffee ice cream and fresh raspberries.
