What's for Dinner, MLK Day, Mon., Jan. 20, 2025 [View all]

Tossed green salad with yellow pepper and red onion, sliced on mandoline, cherry tomatoes, carrots, celery, radish. I saw a bottle of sesame salad dressing at the store and looked at the ingredients. Looked good but too many additives, so I decided to make my own. I found a recipe for one called Japanese Deep Roasted Sesame Dressing.

The soup my friend brought me yesterday (chicken tortilla) was so good that I'm having more of that this evening. Meanwhile, I'm cooking up pumpkin soup in my new slow cooker. I have two identical slowcookers now. I keep filtered water, hot, in one so that's why I needed to buy another one. (I put Brita-filtered water in a slow cooker to get hot enough to kill the microplastics; then I turn it into kombucha or drinking water). Mostly kombucha.

Toasted artisan roll half to go with the soup.

Raspberry ginger kombucha.

Dessert: no-sugar hot chocolate with a few marshmallows in it.
