I adore and salivate over Guy Fieri's Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. The show has authenticity; I happily vouch for Rainbow's, Falafel Drive Inn and Super J's, three places where I've eaten and that also have been featured on "Triple-D" . Even better, I found a Triple-D cookbook at the library. Thus, this week is an homage to Diners, Drive-Inns and Dives.
Sunday
Grilled pork fajitas with tortillas, the last of the fresh salsa, cheddar cheese, lettuce and tomatoes. Husband grilled, and Guy Fieri would have been happy.
Monday
Shoyu-salmon sandwiches adapted from a Triple-D recipe for mahi mahi sandwiches with ginger-wasabi mayonnaise from Taylor's Automatic Refresher (which I think is now called Gott's Roadside) in St. Helena. I'm planning to swap wasabi for sriracha sauce.
Pairing it with a Triple-D inspired Spicy Asian Coleslaw, using a combo of recipes from the formerly-named Taylor's Automatic Refresher and Joe's Farm Grill in Gilbert AZ.
Tuesday
Leftover pork, plus Sweet Potato/Black Bean Empanadas, again adapted from a Triple-D recipe from Silk City Philly in Philadelphia, PA. To save time, I'l use either wonton wrappers or puff-pastry instead of making empanada dough from scratch. With some Tropical Fruit Salsa if I have time.

Wednesday
Shabu-Shabu with tofu because you simply can't eat diner food for an entire week without exploding.
Thursday
Warm Ginger Apple Chicken Salad. Perfect combo of warm/cool salad for when Honeycrisp apples are in season.
Friday
15-minute fish and oven roasted sweet potato fries and sriracha mayonnaise. My daughter says, "Sriracha mayo is hecka good." Who am I to argue?
Not-quite-Asian-but-still-All-American food that's just a little quirky. And lots of things to add to the Greenhouse.
Eat Well. Be Well.
