🍴🍛What's For Dinner? Sunday August 10 - Saturday 16 2025🍲🍴

Today I'll be making whole chicken wings in the air fryer.
Salad and possibly corn on the cob too.
Thank goodness I decided to get a smaller package of wings this time.
I did 8 in two batches of 4 @400 for 24 minutes, flipping once.
I seasoned them with garlic powder and McCormick's bbq seasoning.
The corn is good with Old Bay. 😊

Did you make the sauce? If so, I’d like the recipe please! ☺️
I had a lot of non-bell sweet peppers. They look like the photo below. After browning some hot Italian sausage, I sauteed the peppers with a red onion and three smallish roma tomatoes that I happened to have on hand. I was not going to use any tomato, but am glad I used them. Then I added a bit of water...like a cup....and some vegetable BTB (Better-than-Bouillon) and let it all cook down. Added a touch more water and a scant tablespoon of tomato paste. It was very flavorful. In hindsight, I would not cook down the peppers quite so much as I think they would be great with a little bit of body to them - but the sauce was good!

I did not add salt, but did add black pepper. I'm not big on salt. I wish I knew what peppers these were. They were simply called "sweet pepper". They grow about as large as my hand in length and sometimes as wide as my palm. And pick them today and you will get 2x as many tomorrow! Obviously, they do not care if they are not weeded regularly. :lol:

Kathleen, your peppers look like a salad pepper. maybe a Baby Belle. Mine turn orange.

A perfectly chilled, stirred NOT shaken, slightly dirty martini.

Then Whole Foods salmon on toasted bagel with cream cheese and fixings. Garden tomato and pesto.

I thought the salmon would have very strong flavors - nope, hardly any flavor at all.

That looks good… I’ve only had two cocktails in the last three weeks. I’d love a Grey Goose.

Tonight was the fish fry at Black Bear and again could only eat two pieces. Their coleslaw is house made and bland. I kicked it up with malt vinegar. I had almost three cups of coffee and will pay for that tonight.
