What's for Dinner, Thurs., Apr. 13, 2017

[NJCher]

The RG is off on a tour of some of the southeast's newest, most innovative, and popular restaurants. He's in Atlanta tonight; the chefs are friends of his son, who is also in the specialty foods field. Some of the dinners are chefs cooking for other chefs. Should be interesting. Now me, I'm in the garden, so tonight is a clean-out-the frig night. It will be pasta with red sauce. It has vegetables and chopped steak in it.

Watercress salad with pear and tiny cheese bits. Toasted almonds on top.
