Fried eggplant, (I slice and soak in water before dredging through cornmeal-it sticks better) sliced Cherokee Purple, Gypsy and Yellow Pear tomatoes and Red Marconi peppers. Picked in the yard, fresh, fresh, fresh!
Made a seafood stew...sort of like a faux cioppino. Lots of seafood in a tomato based sauce. DH liked it more than I did - but it was pretty tasty anyway! Nothing that has, shrimp, halibut, scallops, clams, mussels, fennel, red/green peppers, lots of garlic, and wine in it can be all bad, lol!
With an injured husband, I'm spending almost NO time in the kitchen these last 2 days. I baked some chicken and caramelized barbecue sauce on it, then sauteed some yellow squash in butter and seasoned with Tony Chacherie's ... they say you are what you eat; if that's true, then I'm cheap, fast, and easy!
I took the holiday very seriously and fixed a leg of lamb. A bit more than a week ago I found a good deal on a half leg of lamb from the store and -----while it was good ----today's whole leg of lamb was home-grown and OMG so delicious!
I started it yesterday by pouring a half-bottle of red wine into a 2 gallon Ziploc, chopped some garlic into it and added the whole leg of lamb. Today I took it out of the fridge, rinsed it a little, dried it off and covered it in a coating of finely chopped rosemary, garlic and olive oil for at least an hour before I put it in the oven.
I can't even begin to tell you how delicious this was! I gotta find me some more lamb to raise. Nothing beats home-grown!
