The Misty Mountains
Tonight, grilled H-E-B Brand beer brats accompanied by Pringles, however no pictures, I was too harried serving grandkids by the pool. ;)

Salad with balsamic-glazed grilled chicken, fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, kalamata olives, onion, and cucumber over romaine lettuce.
Thumbs up to everything but the olives. :cool:

Fresh spinach and ricotta pasta with vegetarian sausages, sweet potatoes and pepper.
Served with a tomato and mushroom sauce with cheese.
A vegetarian sausage, I need to keep my eyes open for that. :)

Making a pot of red beans and rice, chock full of sausage.
OH, MY. :) I need to talk my wife into some black beans cooked up and puréed.

Catskill Mountains
New England clam chowder, Catskill Mountains style (with a little steamed spinach stirred in before serving). This may be the first time I'm having what I regard as a winter dish on the eve of the summer solstice. I know the Yanks make it with fresh clams in summer right on the beaches.... but to me it's too heavy for summer fare so I generally quit making it (using canned minced clams) well before end of April... but not this year. I'm still hearing my furnace kick in sometimes in the very early morning, so winter's not over until that quits happening! Same with the clam chowder. Perfect for a cool and rainy night.

Sounds delicious.

I love all kinds of chowders and fish soups, and would dearly like to read this recipe.

The Hungarian fish gulyas I prepared a few weeks ago was absolutely delicious.

Anyway, my furnace is still kicking in for two hours (on the timer) each morning, and night, as it is a cool summer solstice. The fact that I devoured bowls of ragù for the second day running (and it was absolutely delicious, as the flavours had had time to meld and blend, and mix and marry overnight) tells you everything you may have needed to know about whether or not summer has deigned to make an appearance as the day and night of the solstice approaches.

I love clam chowder, put a recipe for quick clam chowder in the Recipe Thread, usually consumed in Fall and Winter. That spinach sounds like an interesting addition! :)

Has anyone used the Instant Pot LUX60 6 Qt 6-in-1? Walmart is offering it for $59.00. Opinions please, thanks.

I have not used the 6qt, but I use my 8qt all the time. It does a great job, especially once you learn the little quirks of the machine, (vent off the pressure after it's timed out or your veg will be too soft). You can make things in a relatively short time and cleanup is a breeze. Stews, stocks, meats, all do very well. At $59 I'd buy it, (especially if you don't need bigger).

Have had the wit to remove a few chicken thighs (organic, free range, compete with tasty skin and bone) out of the freezer to defrost before I headed off to bed.

Now, tomorrow, the debate will be whether I prepare this as poached chicken or roasted chicken.......
