What's for Dinner, Sat., May 7, 2016

[NJCher]

I'm going to a dinner party this evening, and I don't know what she's serving.

I volunteered to bring a salad, which I'd better get on to making here shortly, since it starts at 7 p.m.

1. Going out, too.

Not sure what or where the friends want, so I'm just winging it. Anything but Tex-Mex I hope - I think I saturated myself this week.

2. give us a report on the party

i have, not surprisingly, come down with some manner of crud and am not terribly hungry. i'm having a little bit of leftover pho and a piece of toast right now and it's probably enough for the night.

3. I worked in the yard and needed something fairly quick

but substantial. I had some great French bread I picked up yesterday along with some deli thick sliced rare roast beef, a block of dill Havarti, and for good measure heated up some beef consommé.

French dip from hell, delicious, satisfying and loads of flavor! I wish I had five different stomachs, but alas, mine was almost too small for a modestly sized one. Still, though, lord have mercy it was delicious!

4. "French dip from hell"

from the garden (alas, probably nearing the end of the season). Tomato/cucumber salad. Coconut pie.

Aldi's had multicolored peppers on sale, as well as packages of multicolored tomatoes. I mixed them with a pkg. of San Marzano tomatoes that I got at Publix last week and it was a beautiful, colorful salad.

Edit to add: This was actually Sunday lunch and the coconut pie was in honor of the mothers. It was my mom's recipe and everyone in the family loves it.
