What's on the menu for today?
I'm trying another 'wine' pizza dough pizza - sausage again because I had one whole one left from our jaunt to Glacier. Later, I'm thinking we may have crab melts.

I'm anxious to hear what you think about that dough recipe. I did send an email to Deborah regarding the amount of water in the recipe, but have not heard back yet.
Not sure what's for dinner just yet. I've been reading Frances Mayes "Under the Tuscan Sun Cookbook" and want to make everything in it.

I loved that book, Maryann - and there are some great ideas in it.

Steak with a salad and I will introduce corn on the cob. This Banting diet says that corn is a huge no-no BUT

Last night we had a fish dish served with a Thai ginger sauce that I thought might send his glucose level to the stars but it was LESS than usual this morning. I am going to be a bit more adventurous every day. He also had cherries and strawberries for "treats" yesterday....which also added to my surprise with his level.

Well, my dinner plans this week seem doomed! I was all worked up (and had Ashley all worked up) over the Flexing Mussles for dinner tonight, but with clams, her favorite! Alas, with the monsoon rains lately, no clams to be had! So bummed!
Anyway, in an effort to maximize time with the kids...all THREE here at the same time for the first time in a couple of years I think?!?!?! I've decided to go with something easy, a low country boil with some King Crab Legs thrown on top. Having all my babies all together sitting on the deck all to ourselves will make up for the change in plans!

You are very wise, Roxanne, to introduce 'goodies' slowly.
Have a wonderful time, Daphne!

Yes, it's great. Am thinking that I should own it.

So, finally did the baked pasta tonight along with two "stuffed" zucchini boats. It's smelling good in here.
