What do your meals look like (show me pictures)....

Veggie tostadas

So, how do you know the seasons are changing? Well, dinner looks less like Texas BBQ and more like Octoberfest!

This is my first attempt at "currywurst," an informal snackfood from Germany (not what I usually think of a "German," I admit). I had some in Stuttgart while on business a bunch of years back, it wasn't like this, exactly, but similar. I think some fine tuning would help. Served with braised red cabbage and over brown rice (was going to go all-German and make potato fritters, but I got in late from bike riding on this beautiful Sunday afternoon and just used some rice on hand). Also, side salad (not shown).

Other ad hoc adjustments to the currywurst recipe: several of the family do not eat red meat, so German pork sausages were out, and Italian-sweet-style chicken sausages in. Also, low salt components.

Speaking of Stuttgart, I had some dry red wine there that went excellently with roast. Yes: dry. red. German. wine. No one around here carries it, and all tend to look at me as if I were daft. Would anyone know the name of the wine? Apparently it's a not-usually-exported regional specialty, and I should have followed my instincts and bought some at the airport.

Two egg whites with one pan seared Roma tomato. Top with tbs of canned Mario olives.

Dinner the other night:
Pollock & basa fillets: coating is Rice Krispies & Epicure lemon dilly seasoning
Butternut squash fries, before they went in the air fryer
Added homemade tartar sauce and a curry mayo to dip the fries. Salad on the side 😋

Grilled baby gem and roast tomato followed by air fryer fish fingers and chips and tartar made mostly with yoghurt.

"Empty the fridge night (of aging produce)": homemade veg-tomato sauce over "supergreens" pasta with baked Italian-herb chicken breast with fresh roasted tomatoes and cheese mix (sort of, but not, "parmigiana style"). Tonight the sauce contains onions, garlic, yellow squash, green peppers, broccoli, mushrooms, crushed tomatoes plus herbs and seasonings and a splash of wine. Low-salt, low-fat. "Pops" more in real life, my phone camera flattens out the image.

Last night's dinner: Cod with Parsley and Lemon on a bed of Horseradish Ratatouille(ish)
