How did you grill the shrimp? Skewers? Marinaded first, or while grilling?

Baked halibut with lemon (Gabriel had hers without the lemon). Stir fry vegetables. Sauce was low sodium Tamari, fresh garlic, fresh ginger, and some deli mustard.

Yes...I took a little of the pesto and marinated the shrimp in it but only for about a half hour. Then grilled on a gas grill being very careful not to send any overboard like I usually do. I am not a fan of skewers so I just put them directly on the oiled grates. Then I put more of the pesto on them when I took them off as well as in the rice. Very yummy!

What a nice healthy dinner. Halibut looks perfect. I think Gabriel wants seconds...

They thought she was a boy until she was about 5 months old and they realized she didn’t have any cotton balls.

It seems that Gabriella would have been a good non-cotton ball name.

Beautiful cat. I love cat pictures.

saturday pm socially distant pool visit in Menlo Park. We fetched hummus nearby as our host endorsed that place and he’s a good home chef (I verbally exclaimed that he’s my cooking inspiration and even cited their glass Sodastream bottles, but I was partly untruthful).

spicy chicken shawarma
lamb gyro
hummus
tzatziki sauce
pita (they use the Jerusalem brand that I buy at Gus’s Market! Woah)

Had some Shoulder Blade Pork Chops in the freezer from 2 weeks ago. Took them out around 2 pm, thawed by 6 pm. Used the Air Fryer to cook them as an experiment with just simple kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. It took longer than broiling them (my usual method) and they came out more well done than I usually like it, but the flavor was great. My side was Knorr's Mushroom rice. Overall, a good dinner, but will return to broiling them in the future.

Buffalo chicken with a ranch glaze, topped with cheese, seasonal veggies, and because I'm trying to get rid of some stuff in the freezer, McCain Smiles.

I don't know what those McCain smiles are but I want one.

They are like half-fries, half-mashed potatoes. The outside is like a french fry, the inside is like mashed potatoes.They were inexpensive, so I bought two bags. A serving is 5 "smiles" so I'm slowly working my way through the bags.
