What's on the menu for today??
Yesterday got screwed up, so we're having today what we were going to have yesterday....really good roasted garlic pasta!

I am copying Blane's pecan chicken crusted salad. I bought some more "moderately spicy, lightly sweetened" pecans from Trader Joe's yesterday that I love in salads or just as a snack that I'm going to use for this. I think I better just make sure I pound out the chicken very thin so I can cook this quickly before any of the sugar from the nuts starts to burn.
Or is this a bad idea?

Trixxee, I don't think you'll have any trouble since the chicken is finished off in the oven...maybe brown on medium-low instead of medium?
I think I have some chicken in the freezer.

I have leftover corn on the cob and leftover chicken, so tonight will be chicken corn chowder. Also have some leftover ribs that will make Ron very happy. (He doesn't consider soup a meal
)

After typing in a bunch of recipes of which at least one key ingredient can not be obtained locally, I could not decide what I was hungry for. So I walked in the kitchen, and there staring me right in the face were a bunch of pretty tomatoes. Knowing I have some great thick bacon and some pretty basil in the fridge, I took off for some fresh bread. YUM! I've wanted to try a BBT sandwich ever since Jean mentioned it the other day.

My wife made this before and it was delicious, but tonight it's my turn to make Crab & Goat Cheese Raviolis with lemon cream sauce (issue #92, April 2012), asparagus as a side. It tastes more like a potsticker then a ravioli.

I live to please!
LOL!
Seriously, I sure wish I could share the bounty of tomatoes we're getting with you! The purples are exceptional!
