It is warming on the stove. I have a hunch it is gumbo, and that would be a great surprise! If it is in fact gumbo, there will be some rice on the side and undecided about a green vege at the moment. But I am enjoying my first beer after antibiotics!! Re: Monday's 11/8 Dinner?? - cjs - 11-08-2010 Whoopee - a milestone for Theresa, she's back on the booze. Denise, where are the shooters???? Re: Monday's 11/8 Dinner?? - Gourmet_Mom - 11-08-2010 HALLELUJAH! I don't know how much longer she could have held out! Jean, I can't believe you didn't get to try this one before the book! Oh well! It sounds really good! Re: Monday's 11/8 Dinner?? - HomeCulinarian - 11-08-2010 Sounds good, Jean. I received a few acorn squash from my sister's garden that I need to use. Tonight, we'll have leftover cacciatore. Here is a picture of hubby making it on Saturday night. He overfilled the pot! Re: Monday's 11/8 Dinner?? - Gourmet_Mom - 11-08-2010 That's a PILE of cacciatore! But I realize you were expecting 12 for dinner. YUM! I've had a time tonight with dinner! All kinds of glitches! I'll post a review with all the frustrations later.
