Every days gonna be long now than they took Sat work away :(. Five hours sat was easy for me, now I'm trying to do 11.5 hours mon-fri. Sucks.
Came home and dug into tofu-spinach- onion dip with tortilla chips. I love that stuff!
Think I'll make some white beans, broccolli, and onions with a mushroom sauce. Again, i wish I could get cambells canned mushroom gravy. I didn't miss it until it was gone....
 
I had it all planned out, was going to make falafal and fresh green beans with a lemon sauce, but I got home from work and my partner was off to mountain bike somewhere, and I didn't feel like cooking. So I ended up throwing together a big salad and two toasts with salsa on top. Quick and easy.
 
@shyvas - All your dinners sound so elegant and civilized! I've heard of Pimms, but have never had it. I didn't know it comes in flavors.

Oh, I see !! Thank you for your compliment kind lady !

I didn't think that there was anything elegant or civilised about my food !!!!! It's just hearty, home cooked and mostly healthy with a twist.

There is a saying, ''Is it Pimm's O'Clock'' ! ;) There are 5 different Pimm's; including the original, the Strawberry & mint (absolutely delicious) which is a limited edition plus Blackberry & elderflower ( I have a bottle ) and they are all delicious.

To my mind a glass of chilled Pimm's with a sprig of mint is the ideal Summer cocktail that you sip on your balcony or in your rose garden !!!

I sometimes have great plans and when it comes to the crunch I end up eating bread and cheese or throwing leftovers into a bowl with some vinaigrette !!!!:p
 
I was thinking about Pimm's the other day as I associate it with tennis.:)

I had a beanburger, a jacket potato and a salad for dinner last night.

I love Pimm's! A family friend from Ireland turned us on to it a few years ago. We add lemonade to it. It's a lovely, refreshing summer drink.
 
Is Pimms alcoholic? Like a spritzer?
I made what may be my last soup for a while, carrots, potatoes, celery, some orzo, and white beans in a Better than Boullion no chik;n broth

I believe it's gin-based, though I'm not certain. It is alcoholic, though there is no carbonation.
 
Had an impromptu portobello mushroom sandwich with spinach and Just Mayo in it. And a bowl of yogurt. And some strawberries that were supposed to be part of tomorrow morning breakfast lol.

Pimm's is a alcohol based drink that you traditionally mix with lemonade plus fresh fruit and herbs. The original Pimm's is gin based. There have been quite an array of other Pimm's drinks based on rhum, brandy and vodka which since have been discontinued.

My favourite Pimm's are the original, strawberry and blackberry & elderflower.

I'm going to serve blackberry & elderflower Pimm's for cocktails this evening as I have a guest over for dinner.. I'm going to add lemonade, berries and fresh mint. It really is the most perfect cocktail for a hot Summer's evening.

Ooooh, sexy nom-nom pics!! :)
 
I don't feel hungry (beer is filling), but I'm trying to work up the munchies to make something, most likely some of my sautéed veggies & some Zitoon falafel wrapped in their pita bread, spread with my freshly-made, super-low-sodium, roasted garlic/roasted red pepper hummus....

Yeah, just thinkin' about it made me salivate a little.... one more beer & I'll get to it. ;)

Oh, and baby kale & tomato! And maybe Chao cheese! Who knows? It's a whatever-I-feel-happen-as-it-happens kinda night. LOL :rolleyes:

@shyvas The radishes are beautiful! When we were in France last year, the strawberries were in season, and I thought it was so interesting how pointy they were. Ours (are here anyway) are fatter andbmore round. It must be the same with radishes. Ours are typically darker and rounder.

I've got to visit one of the larger ABC stores to see if the carry Pimms. :)
