Summer tomato tarts. Credit to the Mrs. made this morning
Those are too pretty to eat! 
Gonna try my hand at shotgun shells tomorrow and maybe stuff some jalapeno with cream cheese and wrap in bacon for some appetizers.

Any word of wisdom for a first timer?My daughter makes those... so yummy.

She says there is not a lot of stuff to worry about, just that you should use thin sliced bacon (half strip per pepper) as thick bacon does not crisp up as well.

Shaved beef with sautéed onions and sharp cheddar on a roll with a side salad.

On my shotgun shells I tried Turkey bacon as my daughter is not a huge meat eater. It was too thick and too short. Going to use regular bacon and just cook up the turkey bacon for breakfast.

Some stuff used from the urban garden
Today our high temp will be around 75F so I'm gonna make asado or chile con carne New Mexico style for the 2 ladies who have the habit of eating with us every Wednesday evening. My wife will make her locally famous corn tortillas.

This is another Chef John recipe. Definitely a keeper. We'll definitely be making this again.
Peach Custard Pie.

Made this (4th time now) for dinner, OMG so good! I use shrimp or thinly sliced chicken, and quadruple the amount of peppers (recipe says 2 thai chile peppers -- I use 8*, although they are dried, not fresh). For veggies, I go with broccoli, water chestnuts, and super thin strips of red bell pepper. Oh, and I skip the egg.
For anyone remotely close to the Minneapolis/St Paul area, I can highly recommend a trip to Ha Tien Asian supermarket, to get your needed sauces/condiments. This old white dude was completely amazed!
* pro-tip-for-dieters: make it so danged spicy that you can't actually eat a big plateful!

@AzOr Yup. Here's a link to the recipe:

That looks so delicious, especially since about 10 years ago I become dangerously allergic to almonds and peaches.
Last night I wanted to make shrimp and grits just to have something different and the only shrimp available was breaded and fried so this weird looking dish is mussel meats over cheese grits.
Homemade white sandwich loaf for BLTs. Just one slice of the local farm stand tomato was all it took to cover the bread.
I think I've been informed I'm grilling lunch today but otherwise I won't be cooking this weekend. we were invited for a traditional French meal at a friend/family house last night: moule frite(mussels and fries). After appetizers that included my wife's shrimp nachos, sis in law Marie started with a delicious cold zucchini pureed soup, then cooked the mussels. She stirred a cream sauce into half of them, the other half got curry. The husband dug some potatoes out of his garden and made the most absolute best, crispy fires I've ever eaten. The guy's garden is incredible. He has sacks of shallots, onions and garlic drying in his shed. He has tomatoes the size of softballs, green beans by the sack-he gave us a sack last week. I love gardening, but I'm a rank amateur compared to him, and most of the locals we know. In rural France they take their gardens very, very seriously
Man, Corky, that looks delectable. A nice glass of red wine and I'd be a happy camper!
We made pizzas with the leftover meat tonight, turned out better than I expected. And yes, a bottle of great red wine was consumed-a 2022 Chinon made by Philippe Brocourt, our favorite winemaker around here,
Living the life.
Managed to source a case of Hatch chiles in Oregon. My neighborhood should thank me for creating the heavenly aroma of roasting chiles. I roasted, peeled and vac packed about 30 lbs. Should last me til at least next year.
We'll be back in NM at the end of September so I'll fill my freezer with the green gold as soon as I'm back. How did you find it in oregon?
Believe it or not, right at my neighborhood Fred Meyers. I was in there and noticed they had Hatch peppers for sale in little 2 or 3 lb bags. I asked the produce guy if they had more in the back and he asked me if I wanted a whole case. I said, "you know it". I was actually shopping online and was gonna order some from NM. With shipping a case woulda cost me close to $90. I got this one for $30 something. My families spice tolerance is a bit low so I had to get the milds.
When we lived in southeasterrn NM there was a family farm 30 minutes away that grew by far the best chiles I've ever eaten-better than Hatch, or the Espanola chile we got in college. But they closed down because the owners retired and the kids were all doctors or engineers and wanted nothing to do with farming. At Haldeman Farms you told them what you wanted, and some workers drove out to the field and picked it. For a few extra bucks they roasted it so all i had to do was package it. We're only 1.5 hours from Hatch and the chile is obviously excellent but we don't have the connection we did with the Haldeman family. They had a variety of fruit and produce, something was available almost year round.
I grow Cayennes in my garden in France, and we can get some moderately hot Moroccan green chile at the grocery stores. Next year I'll plant NM seeds in a hot box in early spring to lengthen the growing season, maybe it will work.
Mmmmm Hatch chile season is upon us! Love them. We're in AZ so have good access at every grocery store in town, including Walmart. We might try growing some next year. We're already been roasting/peeling/fermenting them. Nothing better on a cheeseburger!
As far as I’m concerned there are two types of people in this world. One who truly enjoy the magnificent green Chile and the other who were born without taste buds.
Sunday brunch.
Tonight’s dinner fresh kielbasa, pierogi from Brooklyn and home fermented sauerkraut.

That is one of my favorite meals. Are those potato and cheese pierogi? Love cabbage pierogi too. Wish we had a good Polish deli near by. I usually make my own. Just pulled a head of cabbage out of the garden. Planning some haluski this week with some homemade kielbasa.

Butter, crema blanca, a heap of garlic, and serranos from the garden
These were potato and onion and unfortunately they were just meh, and overpriced. As in even though my homemade pierogi have been a little hit or miss over the years at this price and quality I might as well make them. Your dinner plans sound wonderful.
