This stew was so tasty and quick to make.
Zucchini, carrots, onion, potatoes, peppers. A tad of chilli powder. Corn flour and egg dumplings.

Čvarkuše. A traditional, busicuit-like I'd say, savoury snack here in Croatia. Čvarci being the bacon bits prepared in a variety of ways and spiced differently in each region. That was my intention for the flour challenge , the stronger intention. They did not turn out the way I expected them, or as they are sold in bakeries, but on the other hand, they were really good. not complicated to make at all, which surprised me.

Dinner last night, his and hers.
Nice, large plump New Zealand Green Lip Mussels.
Shrimp with some leftover Asparagus I found at the back of the `fridge.
I made a very simple sauce for both plates/bowls of Olive Oil, Butter, loads of minced Garlic, a glug of White Wine, Parsley and a pinch of crushed Red Pepper - poured over the tops of each, YUM!
There was a lovely loaf of fresh Bread in the middle of the table that I bought at the Farmer's Market topping out the meal.
Normally, we have Pasta on Sundays but because I had the fresh Bread that we like so much, DH suggested Pasta with the Bread, good call.

I made a big batch of chilli, first tasting for tea, the rest is in the freezer. It is one of my better ones, and the other portions will be even better, strange how some things seem to improve by being frozen and defrosted.

I love both dishes here. Seafood pasta is so good.

I stirr the corn flour and egg and spoon them into the boiling stew. Sometimes I would add salt, or chillli powder or dill or whatever herb I have on hand that I like, but this time it was quick and simple, just corn flour and eggs. Or egg rather, it was 1 egg.

Is the cheese a burrata or some other mozz relative (like sulguni)?

Progress shot. After it dries a bit, cook, sweat sliced garlic, toss in fresh tomato chunks and basil, done.

Another lunchmeat sandwich; mustard, mayonnaise, onion, lettuce, tomato, low-sodium ham, roasted chicken, bacon, and Vermont cheddar.

Check out the nutrition label on those chips/crisps:

Good thing that ham was low-sodium, huh?
