What's on the menu for everyone today??
I'm thinking I may play with bacon wrapped shrimp with a sliver of jalapeno inside and some kind of noodle salad...we'll see what this may morph into.
I now also have 2 separate batches of sourdough going - one from my friend in the Yukon and the one from
C@H. Thought I might make two identical breads and see how they compare. Guess I can scratch another item from my bucket list.

We just had the all important 6:00am dinner conversation before Tony left for work and we're copying you Jean.
Bacon Cheeseburgers.....Michael will have a very small plain McDonald's size burger. Kid doesn't know what he's missing out on. (But this is a recent improvement - he would never eat a burger at all before).

I just pulled out an 8-Layer Lasagna from the freezer. I made something like 6 of these last fall. This is the last one. I better get rid of it!
I will definitely do this again. Make several lasagnas and freeze them. Last fall (before I did these) I had a $5 coupon for Stouffer's Family size lasagna. So when it was on sale at the grocery store and I ended up getting it $2.50, I thought "Hey! I have nothing to lose on this..." Actually, it was horrible. The sauce tasted like spaghettio's sauce. NEVER AGAIN!!! Will stick to homemade.

Leftovers here. Last night did a grilled pork tenderloin that was marinated in soy, balsamic, brown sugar and garlic. Then made some roasted cauliflower and grilled bread.
I think the pork will just be reheated with the sauce and I'll do a salad with some fresh sliced apples, goat cheese and pecans.

Wow, we had a change of plans - this is Kokanee salmon given to us by a neighbor... so darn good!!
I have a new cookbook (I know, but a used one for $.78 + shipping - how could I pass it up??) The New Gas Grill Gourmet - Grilled Tuna (I used my Salmon) with Tuscan White Beans. Wonderful!

And, I haven't done this since I retired from the kitchen.... spoon swish but it was called for, I think.

Yes please and thank you, Jean! We love beans. And your dish looks delicious.
We're having raviolis, meatballs, and salad for dinner. No garlic bread.

I might even give salmon another try if I could find it that fresh. It looks incredible, Jean!
We had the Drunken Pork Kebabs with Maque Choux from one of the grilling issues. It's still as tasty as ever.
