Spinach & Feta Quiche

I use the recipe from the first Frugal Gourmet cookbook. Crumbled feta
was a BOGO deal at Publix.

I'll get several meals out of this quiche. I'll probably have a slice
for lunch tomorrow. Leftovers freeze nicely, too.

What did you have for dinner?

I found some nice ground lamb at the store today so I had a lamb patty,
zucchini from the garden and fresh tomatoes from there too. It was good.
Yours sounds good too.

Chinese food from a restaurant. Aromatic fish, which was cod with cabbage, garlic and onions, with some other spices, and I had cabbage and pickle soup, which was pretty good. I probably shouldn't like it so much, but there's another Chinese restaurant that has red snapper baked with a typical sweet semi hot cornstarch laden sauce that is delicious. I think they bake it at a really high temperature and it's juicy and delicious and mixed with the sauce.... ahhh. Unfortunately, the restaurant is not near my house. Alas.

In any event, I've tried cooking snapper several ways with recipes I've looked up on line, and haven't been able to find any that come close to the sweet sauce one. Maybe someone can help me with this, especially because some of you Southerners see a lot more snapper....

And yes, I live in the south. I simply don't buy it.

I'm eating it now. Big dinner for me but I was doing really physical work
in the garage and my blood sugar was getting towards low. Two hamburger
patties topped with sautéed onion, bell pepper and brown gravy. Mashed
potatoes on the side. Husband had the same. Angela is having salad and
baked beans.

Someone gave me a zucchini recipe last night that sounded good. You slice
it thinly, mix with a little olive oil, salt, pepper amd paprika then bake
in a single layer at 450 degrees for 25-30 min. Looks like it makes sort of
chips. Haven't tried it yet as I am concentrating on using up what we have
now and not buying a lot of new food. Will do another stock up in July. So
might try it then if our weather isn't too hot.

We fixed cod with rosemary butter and lime, cooked in foil. Yum! Also pencil thin asparagus also cooked in foil. Before you slam my cooking method, the fish and asparagus in foil is easy and I like it.

Oh yes, fresh tomato and cucumber salad.

Nobody's going to slam that. It's easy to cook and super easy clean
up. I like the rosemary butter idea.

Sounds delicious and healthy too.

I agree! I've cooked fish and vegetables in a foil packet many times,

You missed it! June 14th, 2014. But hey, I think it's okay to play

To my knowledge we never had anything flavored with rosemary in my mother's household. What is so great about it?

Not everyone likes rosemary so you'd need to smell/taste it. I think it
imparts a nice taste to some things.

I plan to use some on the lamb chops I'll be grilling this weekend. I
also have an old recipe for pork tenderloin which calls for a placing a
couple of fresh sprigs of rosemary along with lots of chopped garlic.
Like dalep's fish, the tenderloin is also cooked wrapped in foil.

Yes, that's true, I really shouldn't buy it. I'm just getting older and have to eat less meat, take Metamucil, etc., so I've been eating a lot more fish and fruit. The problem is that fish is expensive, and I could use tips on how to do that better. The cheap fish, like tilapia, I really don't like, but it's hard to keep buying stuff that's over ten bucks a pound....

Cod is good cooked in foil, or banana skins with rice and spices, etc. I bought one with the banana skins rice etc. at the upscale grocery store last week. Its great, 375 for 40 Minutes, a full meal, little or no trouble, and delicious.

International Gin & Tonic Day is celebrated worldwide on the 19th of
October. Mark your calendar now, because we're going to celebrate!

I eat fish because I love most of it. All I can suggest is you keep
an eye on your local grocery store sales ads. You should be able to
find them online and you can sign up to have them sent to your email
address. If you have a separate freezer, buy fish when it is on sale,
wrap it well and freeze it.

I didn't like rosemary until I grew it myself. Now days, you can
always buy fresh at the grocery store - but that wasn't the case back
in the day.

banana skins!

I grow rosemary because I love it but DH doesn't like the flavour so I don't
use it in cooking.

Two nights ago, I finally bought and tried the Burger King "Big King"
sandwiches. This is their copy of McDonalds Big Macs. I must
say....they kicked ass and I think they are much superior to the
McDonalds ones.

What we call taco salad. Hot refried beans, ringed with Tostitos,
covered with shredded lettuce, diced onion, shredded Colby/jack, diced
tomatoes, sliced black olives and topped with a dollop of sour cream
and drizzled with salsa of choice.

O.K., my favorite drink! We can have a sundowner together. I drink

As negative as most people here can be, I figured I would be told that cooking in foil was no a good way to do it and not a real cook's way. The foil packets were done on the grill, and if the grill is hot when you set them on, they get some grill marks (asparagus too). I cut the heat down and cover the grill and let them finish.
They really were good.

For me it was a raw foods protein bar. I've been tending to eat my
biggest meals early in the day. I am working hard to get my metabolism
back up. I'm starting to get sick already of what I've been eating, but
I'm really trying to change my lifestyle.

I do foil packets on the grill a lot. Especially potatoes. Either with
the skin or not, and sliced, add olive oil and season them. Yum yum.

I grow it too. We like it so I do use it often.

That's something I have done much lately. I used to frequently wrap up
some sliced potatoes or peas in foil and throw them on the grill. In
the past I have done shrimp and fish fillets with vegetables in
parchment paper and cooked then in the oven.
