So...whats for dinner?
Comments

Sandy - that's hot for any of us. Glad you survived.
Eric - My folks also were wary of keeping all the eggs in one basket. I guess caught the same bug. Probably a residual memory of people losing everything in the 'great depression'. My son thinks I'm silly for 'chasing' CD rates at various banks. Like - a local Bank of the Ozarks now has a 13 month CD for 1.36% with a minimum deposit of $1,000. I do try to stay with banks on the West side of town or on line banks, and I keep a spread sheet so he can easily track things down. Also all the accounts are POD so they go directly to him when I die. Of course that won't help if I'm still alive but non compos mentis and he has to use a POA. I know he will be annoyed when he has to go to all the banks. I can understand your frustration.
Lunch was grazing at a memorial gathering for a friend's husband. Actually I only ate one mini-croissant with chicken salad. Too hot to eat. Dinner was a bag of spinach sauteed in olive oil w/garlic and half of a baked potato. Dessert at 10pm was a bowl of popcorn.
The Lemonade Pie was very refreshing, and no calories (ha ha). Cream cheese, whipped cream, Eagle condensed milk, frozen lemonade, lemon zest, in a graham cracker crust. The consistency could have been harder. Probably softer because the lemonade had thawed so there were no frozen 'crystals' to aid set. I'll still enjoy the last piece for breakfast this morning.

Minus, I have no idea if lemonade pie is my thing, but I do love anything lemon! Almost sounds like a cheesecake.
Dinner tonight was a pork schnitzel, standard dredge except I now use Panko breadcrumbs for the final "dip." [ADDED: had some farmer's market broccoli with a bit of parmesan cheese on top. Local broccoli is a wondrous thing, unlike its long-haul, winter cousin.]
The washer part just arrived [these poor guys working on Sunday night until 8pm] and we will learn the fate of this machine. Mr. 02143 has saved enough energy to take her apart and put her back together. Olivia went on her first plane rides on Friday and did great. Today, she went swimming in her handsome new suit at the hotel pool! She is in Louisville with two close friends, visiting another friend who just had her third baby. Anyhow, thought I would share two recent pictures since Olivia is not a newborn anymore.
on the plane in her own seat.
Love this kid!

How very sweet Susan!

Wow. Everyone is sure busy!
Specialk, so sorry to hear about the neighbor. That is sad. Prayers.
I had to attend a funeral for my cousins daughter. Her husband died from a brain issue. Sad, he left behind an 8 year old and a 10 year old. She broke down during the service a couple of times and she was not alone.
Susan, im impressed with your AirBNB! I hope you are full every day you want to be.
Nancy, so sorry your dad is not exactly happy at his place now. Perhaps time will help.
Minus, hope your PT goes well and you don't need it long.
Eric, i can see, it is hot down there. My nephew and his family live in Buckeye. Hot , way too hot for me. It got to 90 here. But its cooler by the lake! LOL! Actually it was 87 in the house, STILL NO AC this year. But i sit in frontfront of the fan until the breeze turns and comes off the lake, then i sit outside.
Lacey, im glad your DIL is a calm person. They are in my prayers.
Kidney stones stopped hurting, so called my doc he said keep the CT forfor a flare so they can see whats going on, so cancled the one on the 20th. So far so good. My major cold is gone and Im doing great.
I had pork chops with Kalamata olives and sweetie drop pepper butter. Yes. One of the home chef recipes LOL. Sweetie drops are red, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch long, slightly hot peppers. About half as hot as an jalapeño. Really good. Cucumber salad as well. Yum. yesterday was just a turkey sandwich
Sorry I know I missed a lot if you. Im reading but not posting
Much love to all.

Lunch was a flour tortilla w/deli turkey slices, green salsa & cheese - nuked flat to melt the cheese then rolled & eaten by hand. The cheese I used was Colby & Cheddar and it doesn't work as well as the Mexican cheese mix.
Dinner was wild caught, flash frozen cod dipped in melted butter & lemon, then Panko crumbs and baked. Served with two zucchini that I had run through my Spiralizer, then steamed w/garlic. I'm not at all hungry, but need eat again around midnight. I have a procedure tomorrow noon-thirty with interventional radiology and can have nothing by mouth after 4am. I will be REALLY hungry before I can get food around 2pm. Ya'all keep your fingers crossed that they find out why my port won't work & it's an easy fix.
Nance - how is your Dad getting along so far? And how are you managing? Susan - Olivia is adorable. Hope the washing machine is an easy fix. Special - I want to talk more about trigger thumb after I get through this next week. Can't believe your energy in organizing the freezer(s). Moon - great to hear from you. Lacey - I had to look up Shackshuka. Hi to everyone else.

Minus, fingers crossed and in your pocket as you go through this procedure! Rooting for the easy fix!
Susan, Olivia is just so adorable!
Left CT this afternoon for NJ after a delightful overnite visit with my "stepmother". She is such a trooper....been through so much physically, yet carries on impressively. Sharp as a tack, good humor, and well connected with a strong social network despite so many close friends dying over the last 20 years. A pragmatic and spiritual soul, she has her own departure well planned, so enjoys life and prepared for afterwards. We went to a local Italian restaurant last night, and several folks came over to greet her and chat. ...a well connected and respected lady, who turns 89 this coming month.
At the Italian restaurant, DH and I loved the menu, but lamented the fact that braciole was not a choice. Anne suggested that we ask if they might have it....and lo and behold, they did!! It could have been cooked a bit more to tenderness, but they get A for effort!
We had lots of traffic from there to here, but finally arrived in late afternoon, much to the delight of my grands who immediately handed me sidewalk chalk to use on the flagstone walkway with them. We never stopped moving until they crashed quite late...and first day at new camp tomorrow!
Tomorrow I will share some pix of the Persian vegan meal we had tonight with a large crew. It was sumptuous! Heartfelt chat with and about DDIL's dad is happening along with every other busy activity here. It is extremely hard to picture this scene minus him.
More tomorrow. I am wiped....

Susan, Olivia is adorable, and now not just a seasoned traveler but also a water-baby. Good idea getting her started early--by the time she’s old enough to learn to swim she’ll be champing at the bit!
Minus, in your pocket for tomorrow’s procedure.
Special, I finally was able to make a hand-surgeon appt. for my trigger-thumb cortisone shot, two weeks from Wed. (Better move my mani back a day). I have a gig up in Evanston the next day, and I hope the joint won’t be too sore (it’s the distal joint that’s triggering, but when I fingerpick, it’s the joint at the bottom of my thumb that I use--and the shot goes down there, just below the “web.” Last time I got a shot, it was sore for a couple of days. (I had a weekend-long recording session in Kalamazoo and had to hold a cold soda can between takes--but it was on my fretting hand, which made direct contact with the neck. No such problem this time--it’s my picking hand).
Bob was late-ish tonight and ate at the hospital, but Gordy was home. So I defrosted some wild-caught sockeye salmon fillets, seasoned them with Salish alder-smoked sea salt & cracked pepper and pan-seared them using grapeseed oil spray. Accompanied them with snap peas sauteed in olive oil with a pinch of kosher salt. Gordy got the other half of last night’s sweet potato. Had some more of that Maryhill Rosé of Sangiovese with it. Dessert was Greek yogurt with a little Paleo granola and sugar-free apricot jam stirred in. Might have an apricot & a couple of cherries with my antibiotic before bedtime.
As of midnight, Bob & I have been married 45 years! We are celebrating first tomorrow night at RPM Steak; and throwing a party next Sat. night when he has the weekend off.

Sandy, Yay! You finally can get your thumb taken care of, what a relief that will be!
45 years?!? Congratulations!! I'm so excited for you! Happy Anniversary!!

Minus, I hope they can get your port up and working and that it's an easy fix. I'm crossing myfingers and sending my prayers to you!

GREAT news. The problem with the port is a 'fibrin sheath'. it's a growth that functions like a one way swinging door - in only. So hooray, I can use the port for the nuclear contrast for PET/CT on Wed. And then get it taken out next month. Thanks to everyone for sending good luck.
Sandy - Both of my thumbs do pretty much what you're describing. I too get cortisone shots below the web and it often takes 2 or 3 days for complete reaction. Interesting that my left thumb started at least two years before I had any issues with the right. Left is down to a shot every 9 months to a year. Right is still requiring a shot every couple of months. And oh, Happy anniversary.
Lacey - sounds like a good trip so far. Isn't it fun to go out with 89+ folks and see all the people they know and hear their views of the world. Looking forward to the Persian food pictures.
Susan - how did the washing machine repair go? I can't imagine running around to borrow a machine with people booked all of July.
Special - I hope you are hanging in there with your neighbor. How devastating to lose a child.
Moon - glad you're out of pain. Always good to see your posts.
Missing Carole but I know she's glad to be out of the heat & humidity of LA.

My left ultimately had tendon-release surgery, which took about 3 weeks before I could comfortably grip a guitar neck again. (However, playing dulcimer, since fretting involves just stretching and pressing fingers perpendicular to the horizontal fretboard, was part of my OT beginning 2 days post-op). Should my right eventually require surgery, my LE doc (perhaps the nation’s foremost) says it’d be safe. My L thumb went 3 years to the day between first shot and relapse. Had the second shot only because due to my touring schedule I couldn’t schedule surgery for another three weeks--and during the surgery, the remaining cortisone was flushed out to prevent eroding the tendon.

Minus, Oh I am so relieved for you!!! That is great news indeed. Is the port removal done with anesthesia or without? I have never had a port so I am not well-versed in all the things ports.
The replacement part allowed us to do 1.5 loads before it failed again. Not acceptable! A new machine will arrive tomorrow morning. Not anything we had budgeted for, but it is a turnover day and I need a washer. Sadly, all the sheets that I cleaned for the BNB will be needed for our own bed tonight since our sheets were that final .5 load and they are totally soaked with soapy water. New person comes tomorrow afternoon, so the minute that machine is installed, it will be put to work.
Stomach hasn't been happy today, so food is of little interest.
I think Carole has her hands full managing that summer resort. Previous summers we have been told stories of boats, fancy breads, fish fry's, fishing, and fabulous food.
Hope Lacey is having a marvelous time with the family.

Susan - My BS will only remove the port in the hospital OR under anesthesia. Sigh. I'm hoping for Propofol like my last colonoscopy. No horrible side effects. But I'll still have to find someone to take me. My ex-husband will pick me up & bring me home.
Thank heavens for a new machine. But sorry to hear that your stomach is on the rampage. Hope it will settle down tomorrow.

Also relieved for you, Minus, but know you will be most content when this is in the rear view mirror.
DH and I spent most of the day with DDIL'S parents supporting them as they process and plan for the next steps for treatment of her dad's lung cancer. He will start chemo next Tuesday.
On a lighter note, here is a pic of our grands about to be picked up for their first day at day camp. Note ratio of kids (2!) to adults/cameras (5!). We are a crazed group!
Here are some food pix from yesterday's Persian Vegan meal....
I cannot name a thing other than salad! But all was delish and I learned that I really like green beans with basmati rice mixed with tomato paste and cinnamon.
Dead tired tonight...heading home tomorrow.

RPM Steak was wonderful tonight (well, except for the aging hedge fund managers at the next table drinking like fish and yakking loudly about “crooked Hillary"). Bob made it home from his focus group (they paid him despite not using him) in time for us to Uber it there so nobody had to drink & drive home. We had a salad with field peas (sort of like very earthy lentils) & avocados over red-leaf lettuce & microgreens. Next was a seafood tower: NZ oysters, king crab, lobster, and giant prawns. Easily fed the three of us. Main course was a 50-oz. bone-in 28-day-dry-aged grass-fed prime ribeye (usually “prime" and “grass-fed" are mutually exclusive). We passed on the truffle butter--we wanted to taste the steak, not truffles (as much as I like truffles). Sides were wasabi English peas, spicy broccolini, and chanterelle mushrooms. The three of us shared it all, and we have plenty of leftover steak & veggies in the fridge. I was weak--Bob & I shared a dish of grapefruit-champagne sorbet (I let Bob have the cookie). French-press coffee rounded out the meal. I was a little miffed that all they did for our 45th anniversary was say “Happy Anniversary," rather than give us the free chocolates & cotton candy the high rollers all seemed to be getting, but I guess because we shared stuff (including that $200 steak) and ordered our wines by the glass (including a $28 glass of Pol Roger champagne for me, three $19 glasses of cabernet, and a couple of Manhattans each for Bob & Gordy) instead of dropping $500 on a bottle of Bordeaux, we were marked as cheapskates (despite tipping 25%). And it was worth getting away from the dolts at the next table. But darn, the food was fantastic!

Lacey, that is an amazing feast! Who did all that cooking? What a huge effort it must have been! I do find the number of adults with cameras to memorialize the first day of camp as funny as you do. These children must feel that the entire world revolves around their accomplishments. When do you meander back home? Can we assume you head to lake soon?
Minus, I seem to have missed when you are having that port removed. Can you restate [in case my weak brain just missed it?]
Today was a big kitchen day, and it was bloody hot and humid. Dumb me. I made three loaves and 5 rolls with the latest rye dough. My current guest was quite excited by rye bread for his breakfast, so that is what he is getting! A rye roll with a mini Bon Maman strawberry jam, the house made granola, fruit salad [he makes it in the morning from the available apples and bananas and he has NICE knife skills.] This guest is here for a full week, so it all feels different. This visit is a bit more personal. Did I mention that my tumor markers are stable? I just can't remember..... anyhow they are. No more Dr. Christina until mid-August.

At Disneyland.
Susan, That is good news in the markers!!! :-)

Last night Gordy & I revisited that wonderful grass-fed steak (and we had seconds), chanterelles and broccolini. Gordy got to eat the English peas as his starch, plus half of my sweet potato salad (hard to believe there's less sugar & starch in sweet potatoes than in peas). Had a little 2013 Rioja. Dessert was one ripe apricot and three fresh lychees.
This morning, I cracked an egg into the skillet--another double-yolker! After my mani-pedi, I treated myself to a small dish of unsweetened Greek frozen yogurt, this time with almonds instead of my usual dark chocolate chips. Tonight, I went to Whole Foods because fresh wild sockeye salmon fillets (well, I have to take tweezers to the pin bones) are on sale for nine bucks a pound! I bought 2-1/2 lbs and portioned them before freezing. It was also $2 off rotisserie chickens, so I bought one for tonight. Nibbled a wing when I got home, before putting up the salmon. Started with insalata Caprese (Roma tomato and mozzarella di bufala this time) over mesclun, with fresh basil, Sicilian orange sea salt, aged balsamic, and orange olive oil. About to have a dark chicken quarter with some cabbage crunch salad and a couple ounces (thanks to the Coravin) of that Rioja. Will have a few of my backyard black raspberries--goodness, they've ripened early!

Eric - do you mean you are in Disneyland? I don't remember hearing you had a planned trip.
Susan - hooray for your tumor markers. I'm scheduled to have the port removed on 7/12, but my tumor markers were up a bit so I'll wait to see the results of today's PET/CT before I confirm the surgery. My markers aren't above "normal" range, but they are higher than they were when I started active treatment. I'm hoping it's an anomaly since tumor markers are not definitive at my level and hopefully they will go back down at the next 6 months blood tests.
BTW - I want to come stay at your house!!!
Speaking of rye... I had to fast for the PET/CT this morning & then had several other tests before I could leave the medical center. At 3:30 pm I was starving and the deli was out of sandwiches. Somehow I decided I'd get a quick patty melt so I stopped at Denny's at 4pm after I got back to my side of town. I ordered. The waitress came back & said they were out of rye. OUT OF RYE??? She offered to use white bread or hamburger buns. No, No, No. I haven't been to Denny's in a year and haven't had a patty melt in longer that that, but I do know what I was expecting & it wasn't Wonder Bread, so I marched out. Ended up with a Heartland Salad at a nearby family "Italian" place: lettuce, avocado, tomato, hard boiled egg, black olives, and baked breaded chicken slices. Much healthier - except that I managed to eat 4 pieces of yummy garlic bread while I was waiting.
Special - How is all your healing coming?

Wow Susan! I'm so happy for you to have a bit of a vacation from DF, and for such a great reason! Your new guest sounds well matched to your kitchen! Enjoy....
We are back home....getting ready to head to P-town on Sunday for our time share week, then to up NH, then quick home visit to attend an open house our new neighbors are having, before heading to the Vineyard on the 19th. I would have liked some of these trips to be more spaced out, but...July is busy. Nothing to complain about despite this complaint! We will be eating out a lot, so hopefully I will be reporting on some good meals. We already have two dinner reservations at Joon in P-town...a wonderful new restaurant we discovered there last year.
Last evening we grilled ginger lime marinated shrimp and enjoyed it with some grilled brussels sprouts, and a huge salad made with three of the enormous colorful lettuces we picked up at my favorite farm stand in DS1's NJ neighborhood. I even used them in my smoothie yesterday. I derive sublime delight in finding large colorful heads of lettuce and really scored at that farm stand.
Susan, yes, the little grands have a lot of attentive adults surrounding them. I wish they had some kids in the neighborhood! But as you will find, one's grands are not necessarily raised in the same way we raised our kids. Some of that has to do with DS1's and DDIL's crazy schedules. I do worry about what will transpire in that household starting next week when the maternal grandfather starts his chemo and has to remove himself from the germ carrying kiddos for seven days shortly after he starts. Yikes! At least the kids have a full day schedule at their camp, with which they seem quite happy. He just called here and Imoffered some ideas about how DGS and he could still feel connected while he is holed up in the downstairs apt for that week.
Tonight I'm thinking we might do the lime ginger soy sauce marinade with chicken since it was easy to make, some corn on cob, and another big salad.
Eric, hope Disney is fun.
Minus, I'm hoping that your higher markers are nothing significant! I totally empathized with your quest for that patty melt. I have had that happen when searching for one of my summer BLTs. Could never understand how a basic restaurant could be devoid of BLTs!!
DH and I trekked down to the Town Building dept. yesterday to check out the architectural plans for the house planned for across our street. OMG it is huge (5500 sq ft not counting the playroom and gym, etc., in lower level). This man told the sellers of the land that he planned for a small house for his family of four. Ha! It is suddenly clear why he had every last healthy tree felled on that relatively small lot. He'd also told the sellers and people who bought the existing house on adjacent property that he would spare the two trees closest to their land. Also Ha! Tree removal was a month ago and one of the stumps has huge leaf growth all over it. Their driveway will be placed on the busiest part of our corner, where drivers can "go right on red.". Not sure what they are thinking!! I suspect that we will be happy to be out of town a lot over the next two months while the foundation work gets done.
Nance and Carole...missing yournewsy posts. And Special and Moon, hope you are doing well with your recovering.Hi to everyone I missed.

Well - I'm going to jump right back in the big middle of things. This thread signed in on a date sometime in April and I know I missed big pieces b4 that.
I saw Olivia Susan - I missed the birth drats. I will attempt to read back slowly but life gets in the way. Congratulations on such a cutie patootie.
Nothing biggie keeping me away. Doing fine personally and so is DH. I just cannot keep up and cooking is just not the greatest here anyway. Magic freezer still piled high - I could survive a major food shortage as long as the elec. stays on lol. Still driving my friend to the doc, went yesterday and she goes again next week and the week after and then hospital outpt procedure. Her hubs has forbidden her to drive even in town. Hopefully someone else from the church will step up and take her on some short outings but I know she does less well in the heat. I have not attempted to wrest her wheelchair along so we take my car. She goes into Ft Worth the end of the month, not sure of the logistics of that one. Not looking forward to driving her car just because of the distance but might need her w/c for the building. The rest of these are easily negotiable without it.
Susan I hope your Turkish relatives are all OK. You and Ebru were the 2 of thought of immediately. Yay great news about the markers. I gather you're running a B&B - of course that was in the parts I've missed.
Food what there is of it to keep topic relevant. Made lovely ground chicken stuffed orange peppers. Took 3 pans - rice, parboil peppers and browning chicken. Geesh. But enough for 3 meals. Hmm b4 that I can't remember much. Did make a pork roast and sausage stir fry last week. I think the last of the smoked sausage and not buying more. Planted a mini garden. Has a going bonkers baby watermelon and cantaloupe. Tomatoes and peppers just meh, surprised the peppers not doing better. AND the fig tree does have figs - it is beginning to look a respectable size. Hopefully it will do better this winter.
The lemonade pie sounds wonderful, must have been on the last page. Minus was that you and did you make it? Mind reposting? DD is coming this weekend and we both are trying (???) to diet. I do make a fake diet cheesecake, might try it in chocolate version if I can find some chocolate yogurt - though I have plenty of other choc. stuff to flavor it.
Can you tell I've read only this page and skimmed a couple back?
Ah Carole if you're reading this and I might have mentioned it already, Fresh Market in Ft Worth closed - changing their market focus. I never made it there. Still hardly making any progress on Whole Foods. I have found that Sprouts which I think started on West Coast has some really good buys and love their produce.
Threw out some assorted chicken pieces to bake tonight. It is just a bit cooler today, might be the last baking day for a while. Triple digits starting prob. next week.
I bought egg roll wrappers to make fake chiles rellenos but I don't want to fry them. Anyone else make baked egg rolls? I know baking - hot - but these would just on for just a tiny bit. I found some recipes but would like someone's input.
Welcome back home Lacey. Loved the food porn pictures. Ah building, ain't it great? Work is well underway on the 37 new houses across from me. The dog barks at particularly noisy trucks but so far it hasn't been too bad once the main site work finished. Nothing started yet on the house closest to me. My little town is having a boom. 3 new houses down the road and another development out where my friend I drive lives. Those are not in our school district but another one that is just starting to get busy is. I fear we about to get wrapped up in the DFW housing boom though we are considerable driving distance from even Ft Worth unless you work on the westside at Lockheed. Not been this much activity in the 18 years we've lived here.
This is kind of scattered like my brain lol. Will keep up better and bear with me as I try to catch up 20 pages.

Luv - so glad you've checked back in. Thanks for the update. We deal with the same heat issues for sure. I try not to turn my oven on more than once a week. Below is the pie, and writing this out I just figured out what I did wrong that made my pie so soft. Instead of freezing I just put it in the fridge to set. What a dope!!! So it should have been similar to a favorite recipe my Mother cooked forever on the stove and then poured into old fashioned aluminum ice cube trays (w/o the guts) and froze.
Lemonade Pie: Graham cracker crust, 8 oz softened cream cheese, 1/2 c heavy cream, 1-14 oz can Eagle condensed milk; 1-6 oz can frozen lemonade concentrate, zest of 1 lemon - divided.
Beat cream cheese until light & fluffy, Add heavy cream & beat until soft peaks form - 4-5 min or more. Mix in condensed milk, lemonade concentrate & 1/2 of zest. Beat until smooth. Pour into crust & top with remaining lemon zest. Freeze until firm.
Lacey - sounds like it will be OK that you'll be away from home & the construction, but your schedule looks exhausting. Food all sounds wonderful.
I've made clam dip for dinner. Another one of those times that I can have eccentric meals since I live alone. Lunch was watermelon.

Yum, Minus! I love your menu!!

You'll be glad to know that I only used 3 oz of cream cheese & 1/4 cup of sour cream, because.... I ate the entire bowl. I'd planned to use healthy 7 grain crackers for dipping, but a open bag of Ruffles w/Ridges jumped into my hand. Useless meal unless you count the protein from the clams. But delicious.

This morning, heated the olive oil in the skillet, cracked open an egg and.......yet another double-yolker! I think this farm may have switched breeds. Two days ago, there were plenty of cartons (Vital Farms, Pasture-Raised Jumbo). Yesterday? All gone! I think the word has gotten out.
Late lunch--toasted a low-carb (4 gm. net) whole-grain-and-nut bagel, with cream cheese, smoked wild Pacific salmon, tomato, red onion, fresh dill & capers. Drank a vanilla (unsweetened) coconut-almond milk (non)latte. Dinner was leftover tomato & fresh basil over local microgreens, tossed with a citrus vinaigrette. Then a rotisserie chicken thigh & wing, and baby haricots verts sauteed in olive oil with garlic & salt. No wine, just seltzer. Dessert will be fruit. (Full right now).
Getting back to those eggs--how many here love the sound of a fresh egg sizzling as it hits hot oil or butter in a skillet? I discovered using olive oil to fry eggs when I was in Barcelona, and I am hooked. I just baste the yolks with the oil in the pan till they’re just slightly set and begin to turn white on top--the texture is a gel, the color still yellow-orange--the rich taste of liquid yolk without the mess. (I hate it when the yolks are cooked hard--the best egg cooked that way tastes no better than a cheap “battery-cage” egg.

Minus, I don't think you need to justify your food choices. Do they work for me? No. Do they work for you? Absolutely!!!! I love your "single freedom" and envy [just a bit] your being able to eat whatever you want.
Costco had some wild Sockeye salmon today, so that was dinner. I made some teriyaki sauce and then used that when cooking the salmon. We had some Jasmine rice and a salad. The salad dressing was almost-Japanese: ginger, soy, a bit of vegetable oil. I enjoyed it on the greens, but Mr. 02143 was less sure. I have some beef aging in the fridge and tomorrow I will grind some meat. The kids with my grand are coming to dinner. I think I will make a pasta [tortellini] salad and something else. I have some ribs air drying and tomorrow I will rub them down with the rib rub I made up tonight. That is dinner on Sunday.
Lacey, what is a "DF"?

Susan...Dana Farber.
Minus, I would have had those chips jump into my hands too! Not at all a useless meal....just a guilty pleasure, which I happen to love, but rarely have, these days. Maybe one of the times whenDH is out, I might just revisit that menu!
Our ginger lime chicken was good, the Florida corn excellent, and my NJ lettuce salad with horseradish vinaigrette really hit the spot.
0 -
Susan, I saw the Costco "seafood road show" too--I would have bought my sockeye there had there not been a Whole Foods down the street, selling it for the same price. I have one month left to use my rebate coupon, so I have to think long & hard about what I need to buy, without overbuying (especially food).

Hi all - have been MIA for a bit and not cooking much. DH was working late all last week and the neighborhood had the candlelight vigil and memorial service for the 16 year old who passed away. The family had quite a few extended family members present so there was a meal train, but the mom is pretty carbed out and most of the family has gone home so I am making her some healthy options this weekend. I have been following along so have seen all of the posts - keeping track of everyone.
