My usual Tuesday brunch, a crab omelet plus trimmings. 

Mmmm!

Nice!  I cooked black bean quesadillas earlier in the summer and chicken quesadillas more recently.

My recent cooking was a meatloaf, and I tried my new onion dicer.  It really saves time!

Thanks for the link.  I'll check it out.

Meatloaf, so what do you top yours with?  Haven't made one in some time though I remember fondly enjoying meatloaf sandwiches later in the week.  My mom, if I'm recalling correctly, used to top hers with a combo of Heinz's Chili Sauce, a bit of brown sugar and also a bit of powdered mustard?  Haven't ever tried a hand-operated veggie chopper (other than a knife).  If I'm doing a lot of chopping or slicing, I'll used either a food processor or a mandoline.  I've cheated before when caramelizing onions using a food processor, but the results aren't as consistent as I'd like.

It is like a square lattice of blades and you hand press the vegetable through it.

I've seen things like that before advertised on t.v.  Does it work well on other veggies (if you have tried it yet)?

Not on potatoes nor tomatoes (but the manual warned about that) but yeah.  The key is some slicing is needed to not do too much pressing at once unless you're strong.

Just finished making some corn chowder...yum!  New recipe to me from FineCooking magazine.  Main ingredients:

Lots of fresh and local corn
Some diced up ham steak, red pepper, jalapeño, potatoes, celery, !onions and half and half 

Very tasty!  If you're interested, the recipe is here:  https://www.finecooking.com/recipe/summer-corn-chowder

Lunch was chicken & dumplings. Dinner will be lasagna, but not for a while yet.

Breakfast is still several hours off, but for today I'm thinking pancakes, ham, scrambled eggs and coffee.

Oh my!  Fit for a king!

No fresh fruit though?

Will have some yogurt with blueberries in a bit....probably something heavier later this morning (post-gardening).

Well thanks, but l have no royal aspirations ( though there certainly have been those willing to crown me... ). I'll think about some fruit for lunch.
