supper tonight

We're having a big pot of minestrone, and some artichoke-parmesan
bruschetta. Sliced apples and grapes on the side. (Maybe a few slices
of cheddar and sage derby over the fruit to get it used up and out of
my fridge!)

I baked a "mangosauce cake" for dessert, using a jar of TJ's mango
sauce in the place of applesauce in a basic apple cake. It turned out
really good - I put cashews and macadamias in the streusel topping, and
added a touch of ginger. Yum.

some pan fried mushrooms, a pork steak, steamed zucchinni spears and
steamed asparagus (some lemon juice in the steamer's water)...

The Pork steak was rubbed in fresh ground black pepper,onion powder and
granulated garlic...

granulated garlic? *makessquishyface*

Why not fresh? The rest sound scrumptious.

Fresh garlic burns too easily.

were pan fried in the same pan and the same fat. I made up a dipping sauce
for the veggies: Some Italian salad dressing vinagrette, a few shakes of
frank's hot sauce and a few shakes of maggi sauce...

A very nice tasting and resonably fast supper.

we had "greek" meatballs- beef meatballs seasoned with mint and oregano
and onion, with noodles and a sort-of-tzatziki yogurt-cucumber sauce.

True! You did not mention how you cooked the pork steak, pan fried, or maybe
broiled? What I do when I use fresh garlic is put the smashed and diced
cloves under meat I am broiling and inside meat I am panfrying. (But in
truth I panfry very rarely.)

I've never used the granulated. How's the flavor?

Flavours fairly good

I like it for that reason myself, on the surface of steaks, as
I can't stand burnt garlic (who would like that) ... I always have
a pile of the penzey's in the freezer. Onion, too.

We were completely tired.
