What's for Dinner ~ Wednesday August 28th

[Lucinda]

My dinner for Wednesday will actually be Thursday morning and I don't know what I'm having yet.
It's Tuesday at 10:21 PM as I type this, and I'm heading for breakfast. Sooo weird.

1. I'm not kidding when I type this...

I am going to the Olive Garden to meet friends. It was not my choice but I know it won't be so bad. I'll eat salad and something from the "lighter choice" menu.

Meanwhile I'm making a pot roast for the family. I just browned it and it smells so good in here! The dog is sitting in front of the stove.

2. I've only been once, but I liked it.

And that's a smart dog! Hope you have a great time with your friends.

4. Thanks!

The food is secondary in this case.

6. A favorite Mollie Katzen recipe: Broccoli & Friends

It's a grilled sandwich recipe, but I'm using the filling for wraps, as I just bought soft-shell burrito wraps.

Has chopped broccoli, herbs (basil, thyme), onion, all of which are sauteed and then sprinkled with grated cheese.

Carrot-raisin salad.

Dessert: one small piece dark chocolate.

Red wine (shiraz).

It's warm here. I don't want to heat up the kitchen too much.

7. BLT's on freshly baked bread.

Maybe some baked beans on the side.

My cheese shipment has arrived on the island, but I haven't yet figured out how to retrieve it.

9. More of my chicken-tomato-basil sausage concoction.

Scored a bunch of short ribs today (I love them!!!) and will make them when what I'm eating now is gone...probably Friday and several days after.

10. Brats, pesto, and a tomato salad.

11. Pasta w/ red sauce (Barilla's), Italian sausage & bell pepper. Side salad, baguette w/ olive oil.

Have a couple of avocados that need to get sliced. Figure I'll make guacamole for a snack later.

12. Too hot to cook, tired of sandwiches and salads.

So I went to my local Chinese place and hurt myself with octopus in spicy black bean sauce. Yummy. Along with a couple of spring rolls and wasabi.

13. Ha! Good call. How was the octopus?

Or, what's it like? Even after two years of living in a Chinese household I never had octopus. The family is Northern Chinese, Mandarin, so seafood wasn't a big item. Fresh water fish, yeah. But little seafood.

14. Cooked just right so it was nice and tender.

And the peppers made me sweat, it was delicious.

bacon, ground beef, jalapenos and green chilies with a three-cheese blend.

1) it's too hot to cook 2) the fried chicken from lunch goes in the cooler for the drive tomorrow 3) i just cleaned the kitchen and don't want to mess it up.

and they forgot the bacon. that is what makes that pizza so good.
