Anyone cooking anything fun today??? - firechef - 09-01-2008 We are keeping it simple today...stuffed pork chops with a seafood stuffing and lobster macaroni and cheese. Nothing too exciting but might as well finish up the fresh stuff in the fridge before we head out for the week at the hospital. What is everyone else cooking today??? Re: Anyone cooking anything fun today??? - farnfam - 09-01-2008 Today I try my beet dough ravioli pastas stuffed with crabmeat. I think I'm using lemon basil and a bit of egg to hold the filling together. Should I use breadcrumb in the filling too? Cis Re: Anyone cooking anything fun today??? - Harborwitch - 09-01-2008 We're smoking more piggy - ribs today! Maybe some mac & cheese to go in the smoker with them. I'll have to hold back some so Jennifer can have some without rib drippin's in it. Re: Anyone cooking anything fun today??? - cjs - 09-01-2008 My taste buds are coming back to life, so guess an easy dinner will be grilled T-bones, truffle fries and salad. Re: Anyone cooking anything fun today??? - labradors - 09-01-2008 Not today, but here's one I plan on making soon (once my beginning-of-the-month money gets here).

Re: Anyone cooking anything fun today??? - Old Bay - 09-01-2008 Anti pasta salad--mixed lettuce, fresh tomatoes, thin sliced pepperoni and salami, black olives, sweet onion, marinated hearts of palm, garlic & herb dressing with blu cheese crumbles for lunch. Dinner- Seasoned pork chops and cabbage sauteed in fat back. Love it and it's been awhile. Re: Anyone cooking anything fun today??? - firechef - 09-01-2008 That sounds good Labs! Copied for later attempts on this end as well. Re: Anyone cooking anything fun today??? - Harborwitch - 09-01-2008 Good grief that sounds decadent! Hmmmmmm, just might have to make that one of these days. Re: Anyone cooking anything fun today??? - Gourmet_Mom - 09-01-2008 If I ever finish this sweeping and mopping, get those clothes folded and a little ironing for next week, fridge cleaned out (not bad, just needs to be done so I can fill it next week), and those dishes washed and put away (ya' know, maybe I should have used that money from yesterday on a dishwasher...NAH!), lesson plans completed...Oh, you didn't want to know all that! (You know if I hadn't gone shopping yesterday, that list wouldn't be so long....NAH! Not only can I get a lot of shopping finished in a day, I can get a lot of cleaning done, too! ) I'll be putting on Jean's "Double the Yum" cake shortly and prepping for dinner....White Clam Pizza and Fried Fish Tacos...YUMMY! And yes Jean, I got catfish...$2 cheaper than tilapia! Oh, and LJ, don't think that seafood stuffed/lobster tossed comment went unnoticed! If it get's too late, I'll be over for dinner! Re: Anyone cooking anything fun today??? - Trixxee - 09-01-2008 I just got a new cookbook, Celebrate The Rain: Cooking With The Fresh And Abundant Flavors Of The Pacific Northwest. I'm making the Citrus Saffron Penne. It also has asparagus and peas in it. Looks beautiful! Firechef, if that's a simple dinner......Enjoy - sounds absolutely divine!
