I LOVE primavera!
Well, since I didn't do the London Broil last night, I'll probably do the Beef and Broccoli Stir Fry. BUT, I'm heading out soon to the Southern Farm Days Expo, so who knows what I might find there. We'll see!

Chicken wings with teriyaki sauce, jasmine rice, snow peas. Espresso with a Godiva chocolate for dessert. Yes, Godiva! What a treat from my new sister-in-law!

We're doing the Sauerbraten from the Slow Cooker book tonight - I think noodles and red cabbage to go with. Sorry that Cousins Roy and Harry couldn't make it - but tough stuff for them - boy it smells good in here.
