Nice, easy meal for a Summer's evening. Neither the steak nor the ratatouille has to be piping hot to eat it. Flavor is actually better cooled down a bit.

That looks healthy and delicious. The colorful plate is so appealing.

Tonight will be taco salads -- ground turkey with taco seasoning over a
crispy green salad base, topped with salsa, cheese, and crumbled corn
chips.

I made a new "recipe" this evening too! I made a Basil Burger! Or I
should say a Basil Ground Beef. I took a 1/2 lb of good Straub's
ground beef which hey just ground for me when I purchased it an hour
before and added a bunch (maybe 1/4 cup?) of fresh chopped basil, a
finely diced large fresh mushroom, a dashk of Worchestershire, two
dashes of red wine, a dollop of BBQ sauce (off the shelf) and a tsp
and 1/2 dried onions (of which I have a buttload!). As I was making it
up I started thinking "This is way tgoomuch basil and stuff!" but it
was actually very good! Oh and I ground a bunch of black pepper on
each side as I was cooking it.

I know, I didn;t forget. I purposefully omitted it becaose I felt I
had too much stuff in the ground beef anyway. But I know having eaten
it that the garlic would have worked!

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing. A good looking plate. I would top
the grilled veggie mixture with crumbled Chevre.

That is just beautiful! Nice presentation and the meat looks perfect.
My dinner was simple as in some stuffed shells I made up and froze over
the winter for easy meals and only have to think ahead enough to thaw
some spaghetti sauce. Meatless meal. Shells stuffed with spinach and
ricotta. We're heading back to warm weather but most of this past week
felt like late fall rather than August.

really? LOL ! That set of china came from the 1960's. It was one of those grocery store promotions at Piggly Wiggly where you could buy a piece at a time when you shopped.
That china set has been everywhere. It was originally a complete set for 12. I've reduced it a bit through breakage and the platinum edging on the plates has faded and some are chipped or cracked.

That china set is my everyday stuff. I use the heck out of it. It's real bone china and if I had managed to keep it pristine it might be worth at least a buck or two !! :-)
