What did you fix to eat today?

Somebody want to come over and cook for me?
 
Fried eggplant, (I slice and soak in water before dredging through cornmeal-it sticks better) sliced Cherokee Purple, Gypsy and Yellow Pear tomatoes and Red Marconi peppers. Picked in the yard, fresh, fresh, fresh!
 
Homemade Pizza! Plus I canned 14 quarts of potatoes, 12 pints of potatoes, and made four trays of hashbrowns all for the cost of $15
 
Made a seafood stew...sort of like a faux cioppino. Lots of seafood in a tomato based sauce. DH liked it more than I did - but it was pretty tasty anyway! Nothing that has, shrimp, halibut, scallops, clams, mussels, fennel, red/green peppers, lots of garlic, and wine in it can be all bad, lol!

The onions, at least, were home grown...
 
With an injured husband, I'm spending almost NO time in the kitchen these last 2 days. I baked some chicken and caramelized barbecue sauce on it, then sauteed some yellow squash in butter and seasoned with Tony Chacherie's ... they say you are what you eat; if that's true, then I'm cheap, fast, and easy!;)
 
You made more than I did! We got takeouts. :\
 
steak kabobs - steak, onion, tomatoes, and mushrooms
 
Yum, Jamie!

I took the holiday very seriously and fixed a leg of lamb. A bit more than a week ago I found a good deal on a half leg of lamb from the store and -----while it was good ----today's whole leg of lamb was home-grown and OMG so delicious!

I started it yesterday by pouring a half-bottle of red wine into a 2 gallon Ziploc, chopped some garlic into it and added the whole leg of lamb. Today I took it out of the fridge, rinsed it a little, dried it off and covered it in a coating of finely chopped rosemary, garlic and olive oil for at least an hour before I put it in the oven.

I can't even begin to tell you how delicious this was! I gotta find me some more lamb to raise. Nothing beats home-grown!
