What's for Dinner, Thurs., July 16, 2026

[NJCher]

Spicy Indian Noodles, thanks to a jar of Maya Kaimal Kashmiri Curry and those 6-minute soba noodles from Trader Joe's. We're at the end of the heatwave, and I'm all out of desire to cook anything. This noodle dish is a 10-minute job. Pic is from their web site.



Any additional vegetables that are added to this dish are from my garden--I'm being very careful about cyclosporiasis.

Kombucha is cherry-ginger.

Dessert is a vanilla mochi and decaf iced coffee.

1. Great. I have a variey of garden peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers and pole beans if I live long enough.

Many herbs, Japanese beetles are resting in their new home.
Dinner? I am thinking but nothing is happening.

2. Leftover barbecue spareribs, baked beans, and a dinner roll.

Chocolate chip ice-cream cone later.

Good Evening

3. Seafood off the dock

A fisherman has a shop setup across from the marina where we're staying for a few days. We scored some oysters and a flounder filet. I'll roast some potatoes with onion and garlic and make a big mixed green salad. (We were able to re-provision the boat this afternoon.) Pinot Grigio is on ice. Ice cream from the truck across the street for dessert.

5. Ooh--that sounds good!

Have you tried their fat udon? They come in a 3-pack and are already cooked. You just heat them up in whatever sauce and go to town. (Have I pimped these before?… ) I haven’t had ramen since I found these, and they’re great to toss in a bag for work lunches.

8. might be the ones

I prol'ly meant to say "udon" instead of "soba."

I love these noodles. So easy. The big trick is to cut off the cooking exactly when they say, which I think is 6". I've messed it up before and they get "gluey." Or shall I say mucilaginous?

Yes, they would be great to take to work for lunch.

6. Leftover clam sauce with noodles & parm

It’s only good for one “re-run”, but I’ll finish it off- it’s not really that much.

This made me think of a memory. I’ve been making this for 25 years at least. And when my kids would come home from school, they would say “oh you made clam sauce AGAIN” because I would often make it for myself for lunch - it’s quick and easy. But then they would go on to eat it. All that was left lol

7. H/M White Pizza

Cleaned out the frig before the cheeses went bad.

Store pizza dough.

Mmmmmmmarvelous!

And hey! The 500-degree oven's heat wasn't onerous. I'm still kicking.

9. Black Bean Burger

My wife went out to dinner with friends so I made an air-fried frozen black burger that I put on whole grain bread with salsa. Also made steamed cauliflower with mushrooms and fresh herbs and I sliced a large tomato and drizzled it with balsamic. Cheers!🥂

Cher, your noodle dish looks delicious. Gonna have to get those noodles next time I go to TJ’s.
