Fifth day of 100F temperatures. Time for cold zucchini soup. I sauté 3 diced medium sized zucchini, diced large onion and diced carrot in a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil. When the mixture has softened I add 1 quart chicken stock and boil gently for 25 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Blend thoroughly in blender or with a hand held emersion blender. Add butter milk or half and half to taste, about 1-2 cups. Add gradually and taste as you go. I prefer buttermilk because it adds some tang to the soup. Chill and serve.

Looks like I'm having BBQ chicken and roasted rainbow taters. May end up adding some green beans and pearl onions as I'll be opening a bag of frozen pearls to go in the BBQ chicken anyway. I always add onion when the BBQ is cooking but have been a bit lazy as to putting in my grocery order so pearls are all I have. Normally I'd use half a red onion. Something about onions simmered in the sauce just trips my trigger.

If I had thought about it dinner would likely be wings but they are frozen and a couple of boneless chicken breasts are already thawed. Don't know why I haven't used any of the wings yet as I've had them for quite a while. Not like they will be gone if I use as I have a three pound bag. I guess it is just a case of cleaning up is a pain. I'm in a third floor apartment so just do stove top. Just makes a mess from the splatter. I DO have a splatter screen that even has a handle but, of course, I never remember to use the thing. Open burner electric stoves are just a total pain to keep clean as I do a fair amount of high temperature cooking. LOL! Sometimes I'm tempted to sabotage and kill my stove as the new apartment management is replacing with glass top stoves. Personally I'd prefer gas even though they are still a cleaning hassle but such is not an option.

I made lightly smoked pan-fried sea bass with Brazilian black bean rice for dinner. It was actually really nice

Ah, seafood. How I love it. One of the disadvantages of living in Wyoming. Not a lot of sea shore around these parts.

Don't feel bad. I lived 16 years in Florida 5 blocks from the ocean and it was still hard to find really fresh seafood. Has to be remembered that a lot of the boats are out for a week at a time so you may end up with a fish that has been on ice for a week. When I think fresh I think of catching, hitting shore prepping and cooking. Take a 5 pound small mouth bass. Totally fresh it has its own lemony flavor. On ice for an hour and that flavor is just gone. And, yes, I know a couple of small lakes in Canada that a 5 pound small mouth is not an unusual catch.... or wasn't many years ago when I did my Canada excursions. I wonder if these lakes are fished out yet. They were not big enough to fly to and a 2 mile portage would not be fun in a motor boat. Shoot, doing that portage was not fun with just a 12 foot canvas covered canoe on your shoulders.

Funny thing with me is that I LOVE really fresh fish but, except for shrimp, scallops and shark I've never had salt water sea food.

Looks like I'm having another boneless and breaded chicken breast stuffed with a mix of three white cheeses, spinach and artichoke hearts. As sides I'll likely have scalloped taters with some sour cream mixed in along with burnt corn. By burnt corn I mean frozen kernels cooked enough to blacken on the edges sort of like doing corn on the cob on a grill. I love it all and can actually do in just one pan.

We're having slightly spicy cheese/brown rice with carrots & frozen peas on the side.

I like several kinds of seafood especially little bay scallops I used to get on the east coast. No fish or seafood on husband's list (sigh). I try not to feel guilty when I rarely indulge.

@jaylach, your cheese stuffed chicken breast sounds good; burned corn not so much.

Have you never done corn on the cob on a grill where there ends up with some charred kernels? Same basic thing.

 

[fishorama]

Only once or twice when a friend was over to supervise. Something about olive oil, spices & wrapped in foil? I prefer steamed/zapped corn on the cob with butter & salt. To each their own.

Isn't this like an unnecessary step with the shells on and can't you just serve the meat alone? I never cooked them so I am genuinely asking because this kindof looks like a three arm job to me )
