I think it's salmon burgers from Trader Joe's & salad for us

Have to deliver supper to friends tonite. The wife is suffering from an auto immune disease and is unable to really cook etc., so we've made supper for them for tonite. THEY are having chicken, rice & salad

That's a lovely gesture E

We had some leftover brisket. I heated it up for about 3 hours in the slow cooker after I sliced it. Mixed up a concoction of KC bbq sauce, soy sauce, chili sauce and spices. It was sooooooo tender after being in the slow cooker. We had that on buns and finished up the potato salad and a rice vegetable salad I had made another day. I like cleaning out my fridge!

Tonight I have no idea what I'm having. Gene confessed last night that he was feeling a bit icky again. He said he's still not 100% from that flu like symptoms he had about 5 days ago. Poor dear!

Maybe some chicken parmesean tonight?

We had chicken parmesean last night. I made banquet potatoes and stir fried zuchinni and squash. The veggies were quite nice. Stir fried for just a short time in olive oil, with grated fontina and parmesean cheese on them. Yummy. Chicken and potato leftovers tonight, with a nice salad.

I have homemade chicken noodle soup cooking and the kids just have to have egg salad sandwiches to go with it but I think the hubby may want a little more to go with it and I just can't seem to think of anything other then a salad.

chicken something... maybe stir fry

We had company last night so I made a pasta primavera with everything I could think of from the garden in it - and some extras not from the garden like mushrooms, green chillies and storebought onions and celery - all served over bowtie pasta. Well, I had lots of the primavera sauce left over, so I added some turkey meatballs to it, some more tomatoes and mushrooms then cooked a 5 grain rice mixture in chicken broth, and served that together with a cucumber/tomato/yogurt and basil salad. And, there is one serving of each left over that Joe can have for lunch tomorrow so my work is done - dah dah!

I am cooking a roast chicken tonight,...that's what the kiddos wanted for their birthday dinner,...i also made a cake,...quite proud of how that turned out,...might post a pic later

[Marilyn. 340]

dinner was yummy.. hubby said it was very good...

fry up about a pound of chicken, add about 3 cups of frozen vegetables, 1/2 cup italian dressing (I like to use the Light Zesty Italian dressing), 2 tablespoons honey, 3/4 teaspoons ginger, and 2 to 4 cloves of garlic, minced. heat for about 5 minutes. serve over rice...

I was going to make pizza tonight but hubby has decided he wants onion rings and stuff and who am I to argue

We have company again tonight (same company as from Wednesday but on the way back). So, after going for a swim we decided to check out a new restaurant that is at the entrance to our subdivision - Caribbean Jerk Cuisine. Wasn't sure what to expect but it turned out to be fantastic. The owners and cooks are from the Caribbean and they use original ingredients and recipes. Our guest had Chicken Curry roti, (large biscuity type shell with curried chicken and a sliced cabbagey type of salad in it), Joe had straight chicken curry with rice and peas cooked together in this delicious gravy with carrots and potatoes, and I had goat curry with the same rice and peas and potatoes and carrots. We had sorrel juice (they also have Ting - an old re-enactor favourite!). The food was wonderful - true Caribbean. I am definitely going to go back or stop there for goodies on a regular basis. I am still stuffed but satisfyingly so. Yum!

We had a small Caribbean restaurant in Saskatoon if you can believe it. Was wonderful! I've made a few good Caribbean jerk marinades as well.

We did some grocery shopping yesterday, and Gene's mouth was watering for some ribs. I prefer baby back ribs, but the prices are way too high, so we bought some rib tips and some bbq ribs, and I boiled them up, to grill later. Well, our mouths are STILL watering, because they were the worst ribs I have ever tasted. It was like eating shoe leather! WAY too much fat. I think I'll just stick to bbq chops when we have a hankering for pork on the grill. We did buy what looks to be a nice pork loin roast though...we'll probably have that next weekend on the rotissairre. Now I have to think of what to have for supper tonight. Maybe your ghoulash Marilyn? Have to think about this one!
