[Lucinda]

♥

I'm thinking some sort of Mexican food for us tonight...what's for dinner where you are?

[Betsy Ross]

1. French toast

made from cinnamon challah. Terrible dinner, but I expect us to get our fill of vegetables at the Chinese buffet we are going to earlier in the day.

2. I'm roasting a chicken this afternoon.

The leftover chicken will make a salad and the bones will make a stock for beef stew next Sunday.

3. Troll hoove appetizers, troll soup and a nice juicy filet of troll...

someone MIRTed our troll before we got to play with it yesterday. We get so few in C&B you think they'd let us keep it for a day or two.

7. That one we do not want. Don't eat it! It's toxic.

11. That was DUZY worthy.

"bowl of dirt!" Good thing I wasn't drinking coffee!

4. Stuffed eggplant, pita, and a Greek salad

Another beautiful day in PA....that's three in a row with no clouds! Has to be a record .

5. Going to a boat show and will probably partake of the food there.

Maybe some chicken and rice later - we shall see.

Enjoy your mexican food!

6. Kale, sausage & potato soup (Caldo Verde)

by request of my 18 year old son. He has been complaining lately that I cook the same meal and meals he doesn't like, so I urged him to make his criticism constructive and tell me what he does want. Here is the list he emailed me:

Creamed chicken

9. The chicken curry sounds good. One style of cooking I'm learning.

8. Left over Chinese take out - hot 'n sour soup, steamed dumplings, shrimp fried rice.

10. Starting with a dairy fee cauliflower soup,

then boiled baby red potatoes with lemon-dill butter, crispy fried salmon cakes and a small green salad. French rolls, and fruit and/or sorbet for dessert and a lovely Ghiradelli dark-dark chocolate square.

12. I've got a package of Ghiradelli w/ mint squares I'm working on...

Killer.

15. I made a berry pie instead.

The rest of the meal was lovely, but I had about 2/3 of a pie crust leftover from making a strawberry tart when we had guests last week--so I rolled it out free form and piled it with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and then added some frozen raspberries. So yummy!

....but, now that you mention it a little bit of chocolate would top it off to the max!

13. Short ribs and collard greens.

Yum! Also a baked potato. Very easy and simple.

14. big salad with mushroom risotto

was supposed to be having Osso Bucco but the time got the better of me. So making it tonight and will have it tomorrow and will put a few portions in the freezer for later.

16. Ancho chile, tomatillo, and corn soup

[Lugnut]

17. Campfire hot dogs.

DH built a really cool dry stack fireplace out behind the garage. We put a fire in it this afternoon and cooked hot dogs for supper. I picked up some deli salads to have with them and filled the cooler with beer and soda. It was a beautiful day in the Pocono Mountains and too nice to sit in the house. I think we'll be doing this a lot more frequently for the next few months. It was fun!
