What's for Dinner, Mon., May 11, 2026


Working tonight, so I'm having my watercress-mushroom-leek soup when I get home. Should be great with the corn muffins.

Kombucha: Mango.

I want to put in tomatoes and eggplant, but it's still cool here, so I'll just dig the holes, add compost, and wait until the 15th. I have one tomato that wants to go outside so bad that it's taken over my office window!

1. Gỏi C Ngừ. Vietnamese Tuna Salad on salad greens

Vietnamese Tuna Salad Gỏi Cá NgừCombine 1 can of tuna (drained) with shredded carrots, shredded red cabbage, greens, and vermicelli noodles. Toss with a dressing made of fish sauce, lime juice, warm water, garlic, and sugar. Top with peanuts.

Pot of green tea later, maybe with some cookies for dessert.


I made an extra batch of the dressing for salads later this week.

6. Soup and salad

The Landlady made a rich broccoli soup with carrots and delicious spices. Topped with grated Romano cheese.

Salad of mixed lettuces, tomato wedges, red onion ringlets, black olive slices and a sprinkle of raisins. Dressed with olive oil and Balsamic vinegar.

Chocolate chip cookies for dessert,

Although the trees are sprouting lovely virginal greens the temperatures are still pretty low in the lower Catskills so we’ve got a fire ablazin’!
