Also a plate of broccoli crudites. For a dairy-free dip, I mixed into a cup of mayonnaise: the juice of a lemon, a crushed clove of garlic, salt, pepper, and a tablespoon of chopped dill I had frozen this summer.

With Soup Tonight
To serve with soup tonight: classic saltine crackers and slices of cheddar. I like to serve these in my divided oval Pyrex dish. Everyone owns one of these. They appear in the cupboard in the night.

I wish one of those would appear in my cupboard! Lovely.
ReplyDeleteYummy!

I too wish one would appear in my cupboard! Anna, your recipe for dip sounds delicious! I'm going to give it a try, but I think I'll add some yogurt, a wee little bit.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious now, what kind of soup did you make?
You know....I keep opening that door and I haven't had one appear yet! :o)
ReplyDeleteNot that it won't. I feel a thrifty trip coming on soon.
Have a great week-end! (the veggies look soooo good. I cannot wait for summer produce)
As far as freezing the dill- do you know about freezing other herbs? I haven't been able to find any good info on that. I would love to be able to preserve basil for pesto- if the beetles don't destroy it again this year!
ReplyDeleteOh! I don't have that pyrex dish-but my mom, so does & what a nifty use for it.
ReplyDeleteI am recently in love with Pyrex. It's been a long standing deal that my moms will pass down to me--but now I'm wanting to thrift and find treasures of my own.
I have a web-site that has great recipes with herbs.

P.s. I love dairy free recipes:)
LOL!! I have one in MY cupboard, Anna! I hardly ever use it, but I just might get it out to try your cheese and crackers. How many times do you fill yours for your gang:)?
ReplyDeleteI think my mother gave it to me as one of her castoffs (she's got a couple, too). I really have my eye on my MIL's set of Pyrex mixing bowls--just the right size, cheery, vintage colors. She's still using them, though, and there are probably people ahead of me in line for consideration;-)!

I'll join everyone is saying that I wish one was in my cupboard too. I wonder where you find one of these?? Cheese and crackers is a big hit around here in Dairyland.
ReplyDeleteThe Divided Oval Pyrex Dish Fairy has yet to visit my cupboard. However, the Platter Fairy has been very generous.
ReplyDeleteI have two of these oval Pyrex dishes, one is copper colored, and my special one is pink. I got mine at the Goodwill before Pyrex got the thumbs up from Martha Stewart and they became treasures. Ebay sometimes has good prices....
ReplyDeleteOkay, am I totally looney or doesn't mayo have dairy in it???
ReplyDeleteLove the dish! I don't have one of those either.
Ok I do not have one of these dishes in my cupboard and I too am thinking a trip to a thrift shop is in order - but my first thought was "what kind of soup?"
ReplyDeleteAnna or someone..can you help me? I remember seeing a waldorf salad recipe on Anna's blog awhile back...I don't remember how long ago(unless I imagined it). I can't find it, now that I want it. Does anyone know where it is?...Anna, you need a search engine on your blog!

Amy F.- it's here:

There is a search place at the top left of Anna's blog- I entered Waldorf Salad, and voila! ;)
I also want to know the soup recipe- it's still chilly in the evenings here, and I love saltines with soup!
Mayonnaise doesn't have dairy in it--in its purest form it is made from eggs and oil.
ReplyDeleteWe had refrigerator soup--bits of leftover pot roast and lamb, some chicken broth, a can of tomatoes, a package of frozen green beans, an onion, some celery, a cup of barley. Good for cleaning out the fridge.
