<p>^^^ that sounds super delicious. I can TASTE the shrimp!</p>
<p>Chicken Parmesan here.</p>
<p>Panda express. Lol</p>
<p>Bunless turkey burgers and roasted baby squashes.</p>
<p>Grilled steak tips and fresh broccoli sauteed in a ton of butter and a little white wine.</p>
<p>I made strawberry sherbert, came out pretty good. Fresh strawberries, buttermilk, sugar, a little vanilla, a little vodka, voila! Maybe we’ll skip dinner and go righ to dessert.</p>
<p>Grilled porterhouse, baked potatoes and salad. I’d make mint julep’s in honor of the Derby but I don’t like them, so it’ll be bloody mary’s for cocktails while we watch the race.</p>
<p>Tonight it is cedar-planked salmon and assorted grilled veggies. Maybe a tiny slice of tiramisu cake, too. :)</p>
<p>Cole Slaw, fried fish, spaghetti , with very sweet ice tea . Tonight the “southern” has come out in me.</p>
<p>Pizza on the grill. (White pizza w/truffle oil, scallions, artichoke hearts and fresh sage from my patio garden.)</p>
<p>Green salad. Blue Moon beer with an orange slice.</p>
<p>Steak on the grill and a really fabulous cauliflower recipe from the cookbook Plenty. It a vegetarian cookbook with a mideast slant. I bet I can reproduce the recipe by heart:</p>
<p>Saffron infused roasted cauliflower
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.</p>
<p>1 head of cauliflower - broken up into florettes.
1 sliced red onion (largish)
1/2 cup olives (recipe says use green ones)
1/3 cup of golden raisins (soften in hot water if they are too dry)
1/4 cup olive oil (I use extra virgin)
salt and pepper</p>
<p>Mix all this together and put on a cookie sheet. Cover with foil and roast for 20 minutes. Uncover and give it a stir and roast it another 20 minutes. (Recipe says to recover, but I think it gets too steamed.)</p>
<p>While it’s cooking take 1.5 tsp of saffron (you can use less if the price of saffron makes you nervous) and soak it in about 1/3 cup boiling water. Put the roasted vegetables in a bowl, pour the saffron water over it and give it a stir. So good!</p>
<p>BunsenBurner, do you do anything extra to your cedar planked salmon? Thinking of having that tomorrow.</p>
<p>IDad, your meal sounds fabulous too, maybe I should look at the shrimp and see which looks better!</p>
<p>Big dinner salad for me tonight. Granny smith apple, spice salami, parmigiano reggiano cheese.</p>
<p>mathmom, since Mr B is allergic to some components of store-bought salmon rubs, I lightly sprinkle salmon filet with rice vinegar, then with some lemon pepper and dill, put a few lemon slices on the top, and grill until done.</p>
<p>Sort of Rhode Island style chowder–clams, onions, potatoes, carrots, celery, in a rosemary-infused olive oil/white wine/clam broth.</p>
<p>All cooked by my H, who also gathered the clams.</p>
<p>Blackened red snapper filets (fish caught by my sister); steamed asaparagus; roasted spicy sweet potoato wedges; green salad.</p>
<p>BunsunBurner I’m not a big fan of store-bought rubs. The last cedar plank salmon I made had a topping of brown sugar and ancho chile - it’s good, but I think it drowns out the cedar. Yours sounds yummy, I’d never have thought of using rice vinegar. Will try it tomorrow - I’m having I-Dad’s shrimp tonight!</p>
<p>I’m firing up the grill for some thick cut pork chops. Doing brussel sprouts as a side dish on the stove.</p>
<p>I have no idea what to do for dinner tonight and there’s not much in the house. I am hoping H will either get inspired or order take out.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Absolutely gagged on them as a child. Now just absolutely LOVE them. Enjoy. :)</p>
<p>Left over chicken plus frozen stew veggies I mixed together using a gravy mix. Made pie crusts, and we’re having home made pot pies, with a boston bib salad with strawberries and blue cheese crumbs.</p>
<p>Did anyone do a Cinco de Mayo meal? Me neither ;)</p>
<p>Although I do like many Mexican & Spanish inspired meals…tonight, though, we had Chicken Teriyaki with Red peppers and Peas and sweet & white potato baked French fry wedges…I still make the smashed potatoes quite often and even have enough extra to make some this week…</p>
<p>Tomorrow grilled steak with tzatziki sauce and veggies with or without wraps</p>
<p>Tuesday my college student will be home and he loves a very easy pasta with meat sauce Bolognese.</p>
