What's on the menu for today?
All are coming over here this a.m. for a pizza and Champagne brunch. I'm digging thru the freezer to see what I have for toppings. Going to be a mish mash, that's for sure. We'll do good old hamburgers at Tracie's for tonight. Fun food day.

Sounds fun Jean! I'm on my own for dinner as Tony just left for a big company shindig (tailgate party and San Diego Charger game). He won't be home until after 9:00 I think.
I'm going to repeat last night's dinner. Chicken cutlets with an almond butter sauce. I also used my new handy dandy vegetable cutter (that's an I Love Lucy reference by the way) to make baked french fries. Will do those again too. The only thing missing from last night's dinner is the asparagus. Blane, will carrots do?

We're having Korean-style Bulgogi from issue 70. Jasmine rice for a side and green peas.
Sounds like a very fun food and family day, Jean!

Have fun, Jean! It's a cabbage day here. Got a huge local one for 29 cents/lb. Made the filling for cabbage rolls, and I'll make stewed cabbage with the innards. Also got some local apples, so apple turnovers for dessert (need to use up some puff pastry).
Practice safe lunch. Use a condiment.

Trixxee- Carrots are a great 2nd choice, maybe you could dye them green and make "mock-asparagus!
Grilled lobster tails/Beef Filets with butter sauce, sides of Maque Choux and Asparagus. I haven't made a dessert in quite awhile so from the new Cuisine Tonight for Two, Blueberry Swirl Cheesecakes.

Oh Jean what fun you must all be having!! I bet that pork was mouth watering. How long did it take to cook? Was it done over coals or wood?
