The boss is coming to dinner on Sunday!

[HomeCulinarian]

We have a Sunday dinner tradition for the past year or so with our good friends. We mainly cook Italian because we have a trip planned to Italy in September for our 25th and our friends' 30th anniversaries.

My boss is from Greece (and very well travelled) and volunteered to make suggestions for side trips while we're in Southern Italy, so he and his wife are coming to join our dinner group on Sunday!

I'd appreciate main course recommendations - Southern Italian cuisine - from my CAH friends!!!

Jeannette - this time of year, wanting an Italian theme, I don't see how you can beat a great Osso buco - either with veal/beef shanks or great big chicken thighs makes a great one also. Topped with a lovely gremolata - died and gone to heaven. with a creamy risotto?

Ooooooo... that sounds good! I haven't made Osso Buco before. I'll look into this!

Here's another vote for Jean's menu! Everyone will love it!

So if you don't have marrow scoops, should you still make it?

[cjs]

Yes!!!! I tried to steal Bill's (Old Bay) but he searched my pockets before I left! But, yes, I just get out my crab forks and use those to get at the marrow. Someday, I will have marrow spoons....someday.
