What's for Dinner, Sat., June 10, 2023 [View all]

Fish tacos using perch. I'm making the slaw fresh with carrots and napa cabbage. I'd like to add a little purple cabbage right before serving.

On the side, for crunchiness, will be red and gold sweet peppers, the little ones

Dessert: cherries and Earl Grey tea.

On another note, I worked for hours on that dish from last night. That's the chicken/cucumber/couscous lettuce wraps. I changed my mind about the sauce, though, from cashew almond to peanut butter, kind of like what is used for sesame noodles. That's 'cuz I got a new jar of peanut butter and I wanted to use it. Also because, LOL, when I got to the cashew almond part, I saw that it was really CHOCOLATE cashew almond in the jar.

The peanut soy ginger et al sauce was great. In fact so good I was tasting it and started to worry that I might just have it as a soup!

Anyway, very time consuming but an absolutely delicious and low carb meal when served in lettuce cups. Of course, the fresh lettuce was a real plus.

Now I have to go over the recipe and find ways to cut the time investment down.
