We went out with friends to a lovely little Italian place where they serve a family-style meal on Sat. nights. There were several courses, including salad, chicken piccata, and a dessert sampler.

Yum, sausages, peppers and onions sound good!! Hubby made dinner tonite. He put sliced onions in foil and sliced potatoes, with olive oil, pepper and oregano in another foil packet. Grilled them, and made hamburgers. Delicious! I made strawberries and whipped cream between graham wafers. Freeze for 15 minutes. That's our new favourite dessert!

..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 .

Definitely summer here today. Clear skies after nearly a week of storms, with temps in the mid 90's and high humidity. Would have been a PERFECT pool day. We're cleaning out my dad's house to sell, though, so I didn't get to enjoy the weather. We were both tired after a long day (12 hrs incl. travel time), so we didn't feel like making dinner. We stopped at a local restaurant and got a burger, fries, and strawberry cake as takeout.

Don't you be coming down with a cold, or worse Patti! Nice and warm again today. It's probably the last before it turns cold again. (11C= 52F). Hung the laundry outside and hubby and I bought the curtain rod that I needed so we can hang some drapes. The apartment is outfitted with vertical blinds and I bought some burgundy panels that were on clearance, as I like the softness of curtains. We had to buy a 144" rod so we put that up today. Looks real nice and homey. I'll post a pic tomorrow or so. Made bran muffins today as well. Dinner was chicken parmigiana with spaghetti and a salad. The chicken breast was huge, and we pigged out. Man it was good.

We went to the big crawfish festival this afternoon and had boiled crawfish and a few other festival foods. Enjoyed the beautiful weather, some great bands, and music, people dancing in the streets!. Our neighbors went with us. A fun time.

We got dinner at a local Mexican restaurant. DH had taquitos with beans and rice. I had a garden salad with chicken, cheese, and cilantro dressing. Yummy!

Seems like tonight was restaurant night...

kittiemom-I love Italian, esp. chicken piccata

Glenda- I am not familiar with Jimmie Johns, but tuna is one of my favorite sandwiches

Raven-Where we used to live in GA had a Crawfish Festival every year with bands and the whole nine yards. We usually went and enjoyed the crawfish...

Laura, we grilled pork chops and had mixed rice/grains cooked with onions and black eyed peas on the side, cooked up some kale. Your dinner sounded pretty darned good!
