Meatloaf.
.
Salad.

Cauliflower soup.

Man, what has crawled up the NJCher primitive's craw?  And why no pictures of the cauliflower soup?

3. Strip steak with sauteed onions.

Green beans.

I could handle this one.  It's not very often you see something normal in here that doesn't also qualify as a gut bomb.

4. veggie burgers ...

... and napa slaw.

We tried a new kind of burger this time. They were good.

I have a suggestion for your next kind of burger:  one made from actual meat.

6. I don't know if this brand is available outside the Chicago area ...

... but it's Upton's Naturals. They mostly make variously flavored seitan. The burgers are a new product.

For those of you that have never experienced the tragedy that is a "veggie" burger, wheat burgers like this are what I always had.  Sometimes I'd get one with oats in them.  If you put a clothespin on your nose and doused the "burger" in ketchup and mustard, they almost qualified as tasting like food.

The steak is well-done.  So are the green beans.

It could be worse.  They might try to sneak you this:  http://veggieconverter.com/whole-food-vegan-steak-substitute-recipe/


Any recipe that starts out like this is highly suspect: 

Makes about 12 “steak strips”

Well, tonight I'm having pierogies (standard hunky fare) stuffed with cheddar cheese mashed potatoes. A side of an ear of corn and I'm good to go.

For some reason, that link takes me to a recipe for "Pear and Squash Bruschetta".

Also, the author photo is enough evidence that vegetarianism is unhealthy.

WTF is "napa slaw"?   I thought napa was a car parts place.  Now they sell slaw?   

OK I googled it. Apparently it is some kind of slaw. Never heard of it.   Round these parts there are two kinds of slaw.  Homemade and store made.  I like the homemade.

Oh, God .......... please .............. no.

7. Homemade pizza
 
Whole wheat pita bread spread with basil pesto. Topped with fresh roma tomatoes, thinly sliced onions, a pinch of oregano, and romano and mozzarella cheese. I didn't have any black olives. Strawberry yogurt for dessert.

Pita bread is not pizza crust.  It's a cracker once you get it through the oven.

Hell, I put sauce, pepperoni and cheese on a toasted bagel and it makes a better pizza.

I want homemade pizza I get Digornos and doctor it up. Me and dough do not get along.

Dough is easy.  Flour, water, salt, sugar, and yeast.  Mix it in a bowl and ignore it for a few hours.

So what's cooking today?  Here we have NJCher's menu:

What's for Dinner, Thurs., May 26,2016
     
Pasta with lamb-tomato sauce. Has mint over it.

Zucchini rounds dipped in panko and sauteed. Has horseradish-sour cream sauce to go with.
 

Doesn't that seem like a weird combination?  Horseradish on the side to go with Italian?

Then we get a picture:
