Hi there everyone. Hope you had a beautiful day....it was gorgeous outside today, wasn't it???? I heard the sound of the locust today, I just love that sound, it reminds me of those lazy, hazy days of summer when I was a kid. All I had to do was enjoy the summer and play before school started the Day after Labor Day in September. Yeah....those were the days!!!
So, in my post yesterday I mentioned I was waiting for my next order from Blue Apron. It came about 7:00 pm in a refrigerated FedEx truck. Makes me wonder just how long my box from last week actually sat on that neighbors porch. Because the ice block was partially melted. The order that came today....nope, the ice had not even started to melt. So everything in the box was still cold.
Here is what the box looks like...... it felt like Christmas when it arrived.
I Pulled everything out of the box and laid it all on the table....looks pretty good huh?? So dinner tonight will be "Vadouvan-Spiced Lamb Burgers with Crispy Curried Zucchini Rounds" and fries and fruit. JP was VERY ok with the menu for tonight. Gosh, I love cooking!!!!
The 2nd meal in this box is "Chicken Milanese with Summer Corn, Cherry Tomato and Cucumber Salad" The 3rd meal is "Cod & Miso Soba Noodles with Multicolored Cherry Tomatoes & Eggplant" Can you see the beautiful eggplant and zucchini in the picture....yum!!! I like that there are different things in the box that I have not ever tried. Been in such a rut lately, I think this new experience will help me spread my wings a bit. I get so tired of cooking the same stuff week in and week out. This will put some pzazz into my cooking.....I think!!!
I was sitting on the porch this morning, getting some sun on my legs.....they are still very white!!! So for a half hour I sat on the steps and took a few pictures of the pretty sky and clouds. What do you see up there......I think that is a turtle......maybe a duck, maybe a kitten????
Gosh, can you believe today is the last day of July.....where in the world is this summer going??? Next week Wednesday I have my second cataract eye surgery at 8am or so. I have to be at the clinic by 6:50 am to sign in and change clothes, and get that WARM blanket put on me....that is such a comfortable feeling. The lady that sang on the phone to me "Pack up all your cares and woes, singing low, bye, bye black bird" will be there too. She said she would have a new song for me. Will be fun to match the voice on the phone with the real person.
Well, I guess it is time to go walk Kylie around the block, the sun is going down, so it won't be too bright on my eyes. You all have a great evening and see you in August!! Cheers ~ Louise
Hi there everyone. Well, as I said yesterday, I would post the 3rd meal from Blue Apron here today. The "Vietnamese Chicken Wings with Lemongrass Brown Rice" was really delicious. On my comment to Blue Apron about this dish, my only complaint was that there were not enough chicken wings to share between two people and I would have liked a few more. Well, I guess I shall have to buy a whole package of chicken wings and cook some up using this recipe real soon.
So in this picture is the recipe card, the back of the card shows step by step how to make this recipe.
Here are the items that made up this recipe....everything is sent in the box to make the wings, rice and salad.
And in this picture is the finished dish.....yes, I would make this again. But maybe on a cooler night. The kitchen was really, really warm after having the oven on for 25 minutes. It was one of the warmest days of the season so far and our air-conditioner unit was not working. Lots of fans blowing in this house lately.
Well, as I sit here typing this post, I am waiting for our next order to be delivered by FedEx.....yeah, it's 5:15 pm. Gosh, hope it did not get dropped off at another address again. I already contacted Blue Apron and FedEx today about that order....we shall see what happens in the next few hours.
It seems the box of food left New Jersey, Tuesday at 9pm. They give you a tracking number, so you can follow it....I think after I finish here, I will go to FedEx and see if it's been delivered....if it was, it sure was not delivered here.
So you all have a good day and keep looking up. My next post probably will be tomorrow with an update about my order and a few pictures if it was delivered.
Cheers ~ Louise
