What's for Dinner, Thurs., 8/23?? - cjs - 08-23-2012 What's on the menu for everyone today?? We're having company for lunch, an old friend and Roy's business partner. Haven't seen him for years, so it will be a long, long lunch. Our menu - Smoke Trout with Come Back Sauce Toasted Snack bread round Coconut Shrimp with Brown rice Mango Ginger Chutney Green Salad w/Roquefort dressing 18 hour bread Frozen Melon Martini Going to have fun! Re: What's for Dinner, Thurs., 8/23?? - Lorraine - 08-23-2012 Your menu sounds great! Have to meet the produce truck late this afternoon, so I think dinner will be leftovers of some kind. Re: What's for Dinner, Thurs., 8/23?? - Mare749 - 08-23-2012 Wow, that's going to be an awesome lunch, Jean. Have a great time. We will be cooking from the new Cuisine Grilling magazine tonight, "Rubbed & Glazed BBQ Ribs." Probably have french fries and coleslaw for sides.

Re: What's for Dinner, Thurs., 8/23?? - Mare749 - 08-23-2012 First day of school here, too, for my grandbabies. Sure is quiet around here! Re: What's for Dinner, Thurs., 8/23?? - labradors - 08-23-2012 So confused. School must have changed a lot since I was a kid, such that they feel it's necessary to bring everyone back so soon, instead of the first weekday after Labour Day as it always used to be. Re: What's for Dinner, Thurs., 8/23?? - Mare749 - 08-23-2012 Labs, it depends on where you live. My friend who lives in Philadelphia said her grandbabies don't go back until after Labor Day. Not sure why our kids go back so early. It wasn't like that when I was a kid either. Changed my menu for tonight. Decided to make BLT Pasta salad with creamy bacon dressing from issue #94 to go with our ribs. Re: What's for Dinner, Thurs., 8/23?? - Trixxee - 08-23-2012 It has changed for some Labs, but the number of school days really hasn't - it's just spread out differently. In my district we get a full week off at Thanksgiving (in the "olden days" we used to just get Thurs/Fri off). Three weeks off at Christmas (used to be two weeks) and two weeks off during spring break (used to be one week). Summer gets hot and long here. I like it set up this way - you get a little more time off in different seasons and if you're traveling it can work out to your favor price-wise since everyone under the sun doesn't have the same exact days off as you and traveling on the same days. Now in my sister's district 30 minutes down the freeway - they have a very traditional calendar. She loves it in the summer - hates it in the winter and spring when she's back to school and we aren't. Re: What's for Dinner, Thurs., 8/23?? - Trixxee - 08-23-2012 Ha - I'm already talking about days off and Michael isn't even home from his first day yet. What is wrong with me???
