Saturday's Dinner, 6/8/13??

[cjs]

What's on the menu for everyone today??

We stopped at a winery last week whose menu looks very interesting - they even have Coquille St. Jacques, which I have not had (nor made) since the late 70 - 80s. I always felt so elegant making Julia Child's recipe for a dinner party.

Love the explanation of the winery's name -
“Faire Le Pont” is a French term that means: “Bridging the Gap”. It’s used when a holiday falls mid-week and you are having such a great time that you decide to go ahead and extend it through the weekend … Faire Le Pont! No matter what day of the week it is, come on in and enjoy yourself, as we help you …Faire Le Pont … all the way to the weekend!

Tony is making some sort of chili with the leftover grilled tri tip. I will make corn bread and watch horse racing.

Jean, Cuisine has a recipe for Coquilles St. Jacques, calling out for scallops, do you think large shrimp would work?

Carylann is making Chinese cashew chicken with rice. Issue 97.

Well, you would have great flavor that's for sure! But put the Coquilles on your bucket list and try Julia's - you just haven't lived 'til you taste it!

I would agree with that! Only made Julia's recipe once and definately need to bring it back for a special occasion.

Dinner tonight is salmon teriyaki, steamed jasmine rice and snow peas.
