SHe's a beauty! How could you wanna hurt a deer? Even though they taste pretty yummy, lol. Don't get me wrong, I am all for hunting, as long as you do it right, and are doing it for food. I guess I still like them cuz they don't eat my gardens, lol. Only had 1 in the yard here so far, and that was just a run thru. But ya gotta remember..the animals were here first..we are on THEIR land, invading THEIR homes. That subject alone really ticks me off..I dont even wanna get started. I'll never forget the 1st time my son saw a dead deer my brother got..that poor lil boy cried his eyes out when he realized it was dead. I dont even wanna talk about weather..grumble grumble..

Dinner was amazing and the company was even better! Raymond and Cathy are absolutely delightful and lots of fun. Don't think there was one moment of silence the entire evening! Truly it felt like we had known them for years. Just a great evening but I'll wait for Cathy to post pics before saying more. ........and remember Cathy you promised not to post any embarrassing ones ! LOL

Dinner guest tomorrow is vegetarian - I have firm tofu
Q

I've had this recipe since my early college days (1980's) and most everyone likes it except confirmed non-squash eaters. I got the recipe card from the health food store in East Lansing MI. Cheesy Tofu Squares Makes 8 servings of about 230 calories and 500 mg. sodium each. Grease 8 or 9 inch baking dish, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Ingredients 8 oz. white cheese (mozzarella, swiss or cheddar) (You can use a little less than this and get away with it, like maybe 6 oz., if you are really touchy about cholesterol and fat. It's better of course with all the cheese.) 8 oz. tofu 1 TBLSP tamari or lite soy sauce, or regular soy sauce 2 TBLSP oil 1 med. onion, chopped 2 carrots, grated 1 med. zucchini or yellow summer squash, sliced thin (here's where I'm thinking you could use partially cooked spaghetti squash, but I've never tried it. Use about a cup to 2 cups I would say) 3 large tomatoes (can use a small can of canned tomatoes, with the juice drained.) 2 TBLSP hot Mexican salsa (or use med. or mild if that is your taste. I use med. and a dash of tabasco) 3/4 tsp. oregano 1/2 tsp. dried basil or 1 1/2 tsp. fresh basil 1/4 tsp. salt (omit if using regular soy sauce) 1/4 tsp. black pepper 4 eggs (I'd probably use three eggs and two egg whites to cut the calories a smidge) Directions Grate the cheese and set aside. Drain the tofu (see that tofu link above for how to do that), and dice the tofu into small cubes. Place in a small bowl and mix with tamari (or soy sauce). Set that aside too. Heat oil in a large saute pan and add onions and carrots. Saute 5 min. or until tender crisp. Add squash and tofu and saute until squash is tender (if you're using a harder squash, you will have to add it first to the pan and saute it a little longer than a zucchini or summer squash. Meanwhile, peel tomatoes and chop fine. (When I use garden fresh tomatoes I never peel them, and most of the rest of the time I use canned ones which are already peeled.) Add tomatoes to squash mixture along with salsa, oregano, basil, salt and pepper. Simmer rapidly until liquid is evaporated (this is important!), about 15 min. Remove from heat, let cool to room temperature, (or at least cool enough it won't cook the eggs and melt the cheese when you add them). Beat eggs and stir in 1/4 cup grated cheeese. Stir egg mixture into cooled tofu-squash mixture. Pour half of this mixture into a well greased 8 inch square baking dish (I use a little larger baking dish when I make this, like maybe 9 inches or 7x11). Top with half remaining grated cheese. Layer with remaining tofu-egg mixture and top with cheese. Sprinkle top with paprika if desired. Bake 25 minutes or until eggs are set. Remove from oven and let stand 10 minute before cutting into squares. It doesn't say what temp. to bake it at, I would do 350 degrees. This is very yummy, especially if you like those kinds of vegetables, which I do. I'll bet you could sub chopped broccoli or cabbage for the squash too.

Yes, it is ME ME ME MEEEEEE! I am SO excited. DH and DD are not so much excited that I am leaving for the week-end and they are NOT invited ROFL. Now, I am sure Nita would have made room in the plans, but frankly? I want to go on a quick trip and not worry about who will eat what and who packed what underwear, and whether or not somebody likes THAT toothbrush. Dances.

We have a winner(s).

While you have offered some interesting get-together partners, I am pleased to say it's Lakemayor/Karen. Actually Karen and Steve are coming for lunch. I am eager to meet them.

We both had CF members validate that neither of us are ax murders.

Thanks for playing "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner Tomorrow?

But can you really trust those CF members who validated? LOL - reminds me of my first (I think) swap and Lars sent me his homemade vinaigrette. My Dad thought for sure I was going to be poisoned to death - couldn't believe I would actually seriously eat a salad with that vinaigrette from a complete stranger!

I must say that Ken stayed home to check out Chase and David (he had previously been convinced that Caliloo wasn't an axe murderess) when we had Martini Mayhem Weekend a few years ago. Guess they passed the test :)

Have a great visit and lunch!

I can't believe karen would leave Michigan in December and miss out on all this lovely snow!

I've met Karen and her hubs AND Kathy and Raymond, and I've managed to survive no more scarred emotionally than I was after spending 5 days living with Jessica. (grin)

Have fun, I'll watch for pictures.

It may comfort you to know that their brief visit with me last fall was pleasant and no one was harmed. They exhibited no traits of axe murderers or sexual predators so far as I could tell.

Annie, I know it's hard to believe that we would leave that beautiful snow in Michigan, but, it's true. We are going to Cathy and Ray's for lunch tomorrow in sunny Florida and we are really excited.

Jim, glad you found us pleasant and we will vouch for you also.

Cathy said, to come early and "roll up your sleeves" and we will cook together. That will be so much fun! However, Cathy do you want us there around 8:00 a.m. to get everything ready by noon or 1:00 p.m.? LOL

David, I did think about taking them to Hot Rod's then back here for dessert and visitation. BTW, Hot Rod's was on the Food Network (Diners, Drive In, and Dives).

Pam, Yeah, it's CF's version of Brad and Angelina meet the CF's version of Mike and Molly.

Bobby, You still have an open invitation.
lakemayor

Linda, We will still be here in February. I would love to meet you. We are very close to St. Pete. Let me know if and when you are coming down.

Cathy, Hot Rod's sounds interesting. I love to watch Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. You will have to tell us all about it. We'll be there in four hours. Yeah!!!!

Karen

Maybe Karen and Steve will stay long enough today that we can go to Hot Rod's for dinner. After all, it would be hard to pass up BBQ bats.
