We're having shrimp salad stuffed tomatoes tonight. For "dessert" I made a loaf of Glenda's banana bread and I have the cream cheese warming :-)

I'm pretty sure that we're having shrimp and scallop k-bobs, with some roasted asparagus, cole slaw, and crispy baked potato wedges. It will be our 10th anniversary dinner!

Both your dinners sound wonderful to me! Steak and potatoes on the grill and salad for us.

What's for Dinner, Saturday night?

No dinner tonight. We went to a birthday brunch, ate too much, and have been dragging around all day. Neither one of us are used to eating heavily at 10:30 in the morning. Left there and went to Costco since we were close, Fred Meyer (there isn't one here locally) then home and had company for a while. Brunch was at a casino. The food is good, I had bacon and tomato omelet, more. And I did gamble a little before we left. I had almost lost my $20, won it back so played some more (slots) and that time I did lose it. DH lost his $5 on a penny machine and quit :) We're not gamblers, and I must say, its a lot more fun when I can break even or win a little. My SIL had begun with $200 and was up to almost $700 in winnings when we left, she has more disposable income than I feel I do.

I must not be "normal"....I've had some wicked chills all day so it was leftover lentil soup for me. Robert went out to pick up a takeout order from a nearby Mexican restaurant.

..Asking me for a recipe isn't usually something I can help with. But I'll try! And I know that I said orzo but I MEANT coucous! But it sure would work with orzo. Fix 1 cup coucous and 1/2 cup red quinoi according to the directions on their labels. Be sure to rinse the quinoa first, and I prefer the red....it tastes nuttier to me. I cook both of them in chicken broth. This salad can be made just with quinoi, but I didn't want to scare my guests. :-) Veggies....to equal about two cups or more : chopped green onions, red bell pepper, english cuke, chick peas (rinsed and drained), halved cherry tomatoes. Use your favorite vinaigrette . I made a lemon dressing with quarter cup fresh lemon juice, quarter cup olive oil, two cloves minced garlic, chopped fresh oregano, sugar, S & P to taste, and a splash of balsamic or other vineger. I didn't use all of the dressing. Add it to the couscous and quinoi while still warm, cover, and chill. When ready to serve, stir and taste to add more dressing if necessary. I added a bit of lemon zest on top for serving and fresh mint from the garden .

Today was a gloriously sunny day and for some reason I was in the mood for cooking and baking. I made my regular 2 loaves of bread and I had a bunch of ham stock from my boiled ham yesterday. So I made a big pot of cabbage soup and another pot of potato soup, using some ham stock. I also threw some ham pieces in the potato soup. We had a well-done roast of beef with carrots around it. I boiled some Yukon Gold and a sweet potato. While the oven was on, I made some butter tart squares. Here are the fruits of my labour today!

Nikki's down by The Farmers Market.

My usual: smoked sausage and sauerkraut with their 7 layer salad.

I lucked out, as it's a holiday weekend, and I didn't have to go up and down the isle lines to get to the food service. Most unusual. Restaurant reminds you of the lines to the attractions at Disney on normal business days.

Stay cool, ya'll! It's HOT HOT HOT! 107 on my back deck with the afternoon sun.

Wow, that's hot, Glenda.

I made chicken/noodle alfredo, and had a small bowl of lima (butter) beans for my evening meal. I wouldn't mind having some of the shrimp though.

Happy 10th Rhizo!!!
Hubby grilled sausages on the neighbour's barbie. I sauteed the cabbage lurking at the back of the frig, onions and carrots. We picked up a potato salad with egg on sale and ate that. Stewing more rhubarb now. We need a rain desperately. The lawns are turning brown and the veggie plants planted last weekend are needing watered daily. Once again, highly unusual for May. Frost is usually the biggest fear. There's a ban on open fires now, too. There's currently a large fire in Northern Ontario.

Happy Anniversary, Rhizo. Your dinner sounds great and I predict a wonderful evening in your future :-)

Pam, I would be soooo happy with your dinner. Our grill is out of gas and it's too hot for Harry to be wrangling with that heavy tank.

Glenda, that is way too hot to be out and about. I've never tried it, but I may try to make a small 7-layer salad tomorrow. I just love that stuff!

Shirley, I'll trade you shrimp for lima beans!!

Patti, you've got a deal on the trade.

I've never tried a 7 layer salad.

I did the cooking for the weekend Sat. I made a chunky potato soup, topped with cheese, croutons and bacon bits I fried myself. Then had a left over stewed chicken from Fri. For dinner I made chicken sour cream enchiladas! :0)

I need to make a snack.....dunno what...?
