I made bok choy for the first time. With roast beef and mushrooms. It was delicious.

A focaccia. This recipe is easiest to do in the evening to make a weekend morning treat as the dough needs a quick stretch every 30 minutes for two hours before going into the fridge overnight for a slow prove.

@acpgee - is there a flour you prefer with the focaccia? She mentioned 3 different types.
Smoked turkey with defatted pan drippings, sausage stuffing, green beans with smoked ham.

I just use plain all purpose flour and get good results with that. I don’t know the protein content because I decant to resealable storage containers and discard the packaging after bringing home the groceries. I should probably try with bread flour to see if that gives a better texture but I am happy with results using regular flour up to now.0 -
At this rate I won’t get to the flower market any time soon. My batch cooking buddy brought a bunch of supermarket peonies when she came over Saturday.1

beautiful acpgee!
lunch - lentil boats. I tend to use pre-cooked soup/lentils from the store for super quick & easy, and instead of matchstics will dollop a saute blend that I batch cooked ahead.
i use saute mixed veggies as topper on a lot of things. A fav snack is on chips (50 cal taco sized tortilla quartered, spiced & baked, lots of recipes on net.)

Food from the freezer. Potato gnocchi I made last month month as a mourning ritual for the terminal cancer diagnosis of a buddy I used to cook Italian with, while we were grad students in Amsterdam. Bolognaise from the early April batch made with a current cooking buddy. Green salad and griddled aubergine made today.

I've been MIA from this group/website since before mid-May, preparing for and going to Montana. Just back this weekend. It's been my long-term primary "bucket list" item to return to Glacier National Park, where I was last in 1962. We went now because we were able to combine my interest with my wife's continuing ed needs - there was a conference she attended in the first week.
Part of my 2024 dietary/physical prep for the trip was dropping 10-15 lbs so that I could then carry a 10+ lb pack on hikes, plus get into associated better shape. I succeeded. Well, sort of. Got 11 lbs off before leaving, and into better shape, but could have/ should have lost more and gotten into better shape. But I survived and thrived anyway.
Part of my dietary strategy was in reducing meat consumption, more plant-based, much less processed food, much lower sugar and the like, as you've generally seen from my postings.
Well, as I experienced it this trip, and no disparagement meant to any Montanans here, I saw the diet out there consists mostly of 4 "primary food groups:" huckleberries, craft beer, craft coffee and meat. So, my gut wasn't entirely happy with me, but did adjust over the course of 16 days. And somehow, I lost 5 lbs - must have been the exercise. Huckleberries, unlike their blueberry cousins, cannot be raised agriculturally, so they're all wild harvested - and everything from beer, coffee, bbq sauce, candy, pastries, etc. is made with "hucks."
Anyway, back now and re-evaluating what's next for the summer program.
Pictures:
1. View of iconic St. Mary Lake in East Glacier (the eastern and western areas of the Park are very different in character - western is PNW-style rain forest, eastern is drier. We saw both sides).
2. 3-Bean Elk Chili. Quite good. Elk and Bison were frequent menu items alongside beef, pork, chicken.
3. Huckleberry Oatmeal breakfast dish.
4. Huckleberry Cobbler with Huckleberry ice cream dinner dessert.

I made another focaccia using my usual recipe. It is most convenient to do this in the evening as the dough needs stretching (a 2 minute job) every 30 minutes for 2 hours followed by a slow prove in the fridge overnight. This time I skipped the overnight prove because I started it in the afternoon, and didn't notice any detrimental effect.
