Yum, everything sounds so good! I love that fundraiser idea, Bob. Was everything delicious? Nicole, your supper sounds great; absolutely like something that I would fix. I've found a couple of recipes and may try one this weekend. Party, I've tried to like Buffalo chicken wings but I don't care for the sauce. I love grilled chicken wings, though, sprinkled with some cayenne! The bleu cheese dressing is a perfect foil for something spicy. I like celery sticks with it, too. Jasdip....there's no way that your supper wasn't delicious! I can almost taste it, now.

CindyMac Mimi, that looks scrumptious! I've never had rapini. Would you mind sharing the recipe? **** The dish is made in separate components, then brought together at the very end. Regarding the rapini, I like to blanch it in salted, simmering water for about 3-4 minutes and then strain in a colandar, before I chop up into more manageable pieces. To serve, or add to a dish like this, I like to heat up some olive oil and add minced garlic (and maybe a pinch of pepper flakes) to flavor the oil. Then, add the pre-blanched rapini and sautee for about 2 minutes. The lamb is lamb shank cooked in my electric pressure cooker. That can also be braised slowly in a heavy pot. Let me know if you'd like to know how I made the lamb so it was ready for this dish. The gnocchi is store bought from Wegmans. It's fresh and so easy!

I made two skillet tamale pies--masa cornbread layer (with corn and diced chilies), with layers of diced tomatoes, black beans, ground beef, and cheese. I put sliced jalapenos on top of one of the pies, for my kids who like the heat. We had them with extra tomato sauce and sour cream. My grandson said it was awesome!

I am starting to think maybe we should have gone out to eat. I took what I thought was chili out of the freezer Saturday night. Tonight I opened it and it is baked beans. So I thought what will I make now. I made Lipton noodle soup knock off with extra noodles and I will make grilled cheeses with it. DH isn't here yet and since I never ate dinner I thought I would have just a little of it. I always put cinnamon in my CN soup. Well it didn't look very dark to me and I figured it was ginger instead right away. Yes I was right. I had to get that out of there. Good thing it was thick so I could just take the noodles off that it was on. Then I put some cinnamon in it, and I could taste the ginger just slightly. Today I started putting some of the baskets together that I need for Friday. I also made another pan of bars and this caramel sauce from GeniusKitchen. READY IN: 15mins YIELD: 2 1/2 cups UNITS: US Ingredients Nutrition 3⁄4 cup butter 1 1⁄2 cups firmly packed brown sugar 2 tablespoons water 1⁄4 teaspoon salt 3⁄4 cup evaporated milk 1 tablespoon vanilla extract Advertisement Directions Combine butter, brown sugar, water, and salt in a medium sauce pan, over medium heat, stirring constantly. Bring to boil for 3 to 5 minutes depending upon thickness desired. Remove from heat and stir in evaporated milk and vanilla/ I boiled it for 5 minutes. If you want a thinner sauce you don't boil it as long. It turned out really good. I put some in a 1 cup jar and stacked 2 red delicious apples on top of it and then put the cellophane on it. I had seen this at a bake sale 2 weeks ago. I thought it was a cute idea/
