Friday’s dinner

September 28, 2018 Kasanje Leave a comment

Tonight’s meal was prepared by my father.

He chose to cook up some lamb chops seasoned with rosemary. A bowl of thinly sliced and quartered cucumber in sour cream and oil.

Using a steam convection oven, a platter of potatoes, carrots, and onions was also cooked.

Our wine for the evening is a Bourgogne Pinot Noir (Pierre Gruber). Dessert was Turkish sweets.

Lastly, boiled cabbage with raisins lightly peppered.

I am afraid I have once more spaced out taking the photos.

All I have are pictures of the leftovers.

Apologies

I am afraid hunger got the best of me, and I forgot to post tonight’s dinner. Ate it all up without a single picture. I shall do my best to describe it in detail without the photos.

My uncle made a dish of fried pita bread left over from the night before with some tomatoes and sliced beef that had been tenderized.

We also picked up a bottle of old vine Lodi Zinfandel 2016 (Gnarly Head) from the neighborhood shop. Quite a nice pairing with the meal.

After dinner, I had some Moroccan Mint Green tea (Stash) and we settled in to watch the French film MicMacs suggested by my uncle.

Walk about

We toured downtown Poughkeepsie and viewed the various shops up the hill on Main Street.

After some time, we decided on lunch at a Mexican restaurant.

I ordered the Chicken Tortilla Soup to start and 3 Fish Tacos.

Breakfast, Thursday.

Starting off rooted firmly in my ancestry with a cup of English Breakfast Tea (Bigelow).

Granola seemed the best choice since we are having an early start today. I did see a box of Raisin Bran in the cupboard and figured half of each would be nice.

Wednesday’s Dinner

September 27, 2018 Kasanje Leave a comment

My father made us a nice chicken dish with vegetables and rice. Sort of a light curry stew, the sort you find back home (WA).

Also, we had slices of tomato in oil and baked Delicata squash sprinkled with Bombay Mix.

A spot of beer, the Belgian White (Fat Tire), with the meal finished it off nicely.

Turned around

I probably shouldn’t use my Google Maps as much as I do.

I ended up going in the opposite direction of what I had intended. We stopped in a shop for a slice of pizza and to use the restroom.

The business is called Tribeca Bagels.

The pizza was nice, especially the crust, just to my liking.

The evening meal was served around 7pm.

The leftover chicken from last night was repurposed as a Bonne Femme. I have included the recipe if you would like to try it out.

There were two wines served at dinner, a Muga Rioja Red Wine and a Costamolino Argiolas White Wine.

Tea

We arrived at the apartment around 3:30 pm.

The walk on the beach and the wildlife reserve came to four kilometres. We sat down for a cup of tea with cookies while dinner plans were discussed.

I went with the Irish Breakfast Tea (Twinings) and added a splash of half & half for balance. The cookies were oatmeal raisin (Keebler), but rather dry.

I prefer more butter in my cookies.
