What's for Dinner, Fri., Aug. 5, 2022

Cup of cold curry squash-orange soup--this time with all the ingredients. I had to go out for a few items today to finish it up.

Cold meatloaf sandwich with onions, tomatoes, and lettuce on 21-grain/seed wheat bread. Sweet potato chips with bacon horseradish dip.

That will probaby be it for me today, but if I still want something during the crime shows tonight, I'll have a baby arugula, toasted pignoli, cherry tomato salad with homemade vinaigrette.

Pear and cold decaf for dessert.

Cooked summer apples with some brown sugar added because they are a bit too tart to eat raw.

It's warm in the kitchen. We had some thunder and a little bit of rain but it stayed hot here. The heavy storms were a few miles away ... so far.

My husband made the flatbread. Tomatoes with mozzarella and homegrown basil.
That cold squash soup sounds awesome!
