What's for Dinner, Fri., June 6, 2025

Last night's restaurant visit has so inspired me that I am trying a pasta recipe, "Pasta With Sausage and Fennel Ragu."

In addition, a finely chopped salad with goat cheese, lettuce, diced cucumber, and microgreens (broccoli, spicy radish, and pea sprouts). Homemade vinaigrette.

Kombucha: ginger.

Dessert: Raspberries and honey Greek yogurt. Earl Grey tea.

Fridays are buy-one-get-one delicious California Burrito day!

I love the atmosphere, the people there, and the food. Yummy!

Going to a fish fry fundraiser in an hour. Buffalo is crazy for their Friday fish fries because of the large Catholic population when meat was prohibited on Fridays, even though that tradition was stopped by the church many years ago. I’ve always loved a good fish fry ever since childhood when the fish of choice was walleye, aka “yellow” pike which was long ago replaced by haddock in the early 70s. So I’ll have beer battered haddock, fries, cole slaw, macaroni salad, rye bread and butter. I’ll probably only eat the fish, slaw and fries. A guilty pleasure which I only do a couple times a year. Cheers!🍻

better reheated in cast iron frying pan when you caramelize the kraut. more br sugar. kraut tastes better. my great-great aunt did this w/ pork ribs in her 90's. why did she wait so long!
