Nothing overly exciting here. Some simply seasoned roasted chicken wings, au gratin potatoes and asparagus, finally! $1.99/lb and it looked fresh.

I'm trying the Lite Lemon Chicken from the new issue tonight. It's going to be hard not to add capers to the dish. We'll have lemon rice pilaf and green beans on the side.

I had a request for Cubanos from Dayna (youngest daughter). I'll make the onion rings from the new issue to go with also.

I'm gong to post a review here, but first wanted to make note of the truly mid-western dinner we had! At least a mid-western dinner we would have had in the 80s in Illinois.

Ravioli with pasta sauce, corn pudding and a cauliflower side dish - so white and pale and starchy. My word - but it was so darn good.

The hit of the meal tho, was the cauliflower - I roasted it in a little olive oil & s&p. I made a salad dressing which I picked up the recipe for somewhere in Mississippi on our trip, but have no idea the source.

Boquerones (Anchovy) and Bacon Vinaigrette SOON
collected as Mississippi recipes on the big trip

1–2 boquerones or anchovies, sliced or chopped
3 pieces bacon, cooked and crumbled (drippings reserved)
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
2 Tbs olive oil
3 Tbs bacon drippings (warm)

1. Stir together all the ingredients in a bowl.
2. Can be made ahead to let the flavors develop.

I made just half a recipe to try it and also only used one slice of thick sliced bacon. Drizzled over the cauliflower as it came out of the oven. It's delicious!! I have a tad of the dressing left, so I'll try it with a small green salad. You can't taste 'anchovy' - just a hint of salty or briny essence.
