4. Beef taquitos

with guacamole, and a side of black bean/mango salsa. I hesitate to call it a "salsa", the way I make it...it is more like a salad really.

Hola!

6. Chinese Barbecue Pork Loin and stir fried eggplant.

I've had the meat marinating all day in a most delicious sauce and, after taking the meat out, put the eggplant in there to soak for a bit.

The pork should last us a few days in one way or another.

7. Pasta with chicken livers

Got 'em from Whole Foods: free-range, no antibiotics, etc.

Sirah.

8. Wow!

I looooove chicken liver! (OK, I'm a liver slut ... doesn't matter what animal.)

That sounds awesome, Cher!

If I can get my hands on some elk liver again, I'll die and go to culinary heaven. That's the one thing I miss about living in Wyoming. The hunters never cared for the "pluck", but I was right there with my plate, asking for the liver. Free range, and no anti-biotics crap.

rock on!

10. ah, another liver lover!

but I was right there with my plate, asking for the liver.



Not everyone is, you know. My brother, for example. I suggested liver one night and he said, "I hate liver! I even hate my own liver. That's why I drink so much!"

A little high in sodium for one meal, but lunch was a BIG caprese salad that
probably had less than 50mg. Gotta love caprese salad if you're watching
your sodium!!!!!

ANY excuse to have one -- busted, no?

13. Tonight we had my father over for dinner.

Actually, we had him for dinner Wednesday night too. I made fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and country gravy, just like my mother used to make. He's been asking for fried chicken a while and I had some time off, so I cooked it for the first time in years. Tonight, I took the leftover chicken, shredded it, and mixed it with the gravy and made chicken pie, not chicken pot pie, just chicken, gravy, in a double pie crust. He thought he'd died and gone to heaven. I wonder if my arteries can take it.

16. sounds like you're good to your dad

What a nice thing to do--to carry on your mother's tradition. I'm sure that meant a lot to him.

pasta with chicken livers.

15. I had the best Muffalatta in the world

It came from a little grocery store. A muffalatta is a New Orleans sandwich (I still live close by, and grew up on New Orleans). It's an olive dressing on an Italian round bread of about 8" and 1.5" thick, sliced and filled with ham, Genoa salami, mortadella, sliced Provolone and sliced Mozzarella. The olive dressing is the key.

You eat it in quarters because no one can eat a whole one unless they are starving (though as a teenager I came very close to eating a whole one from Giardino's after a day of physical work and had forgotten to eat breakfast )
