Me too!!! I love love love it Except for the Humdingers. I am tone deaf so anytime I try to hum a tune, it sounds right in my head but SO BAD out loud.

To accompany my turkey tenderloin yesterday I made a wonderful new casserole. It's a gratin, with cauliflower and carrots, with extra sharp cheese, bechemal curry sauce. Anyone wishing the recipe let me know. It was spectacular and a lovely change from the usual. Nice to make for a special occassion.

Last night we had steak with corn-on-the-cob, mushrooms and onions, and roasted beets. Tonight my husband is working late so we are having homemade chicken noodle soup and freshly baked biscuits.

Well yesterday I decided we would have turkey tacos and salad - so I made up the turkey in the afternoon and I was finished and just about to put it in a bowl and lo and behold the dumb frying pan we bought had teflon peeling off it! So turkey goes in the garbage. (It was just an inexpensive pan we picked up as I wanted to shop around for new cookware - have now just purchased a T-FAL set).

So we ended up having some of that ham I cooked a couple of weeks ago, potatoes and corn.

Tonight, since my Singapore curry gravy has been in the relocube - we will be having beef curry with rice!

We were at Gene's work picnic yesterday. It was good. Lots of good salads. I made a tabouli salad...one guy said...is that tabouli yours? I said yes...he said, "ah! the tabouli queen is here!" I later said to Gene, that even if his co-workers liked it, maybe I should bring something else to a potluck? So, we weren't that hungry at suppertime. Just cleaned my fridge out, and heated up some leftovers.

Tonight I think some rainbow trout.

Oh Carla,..I have not had a good tabouli since I left Australia...do you have a recipe you could share for it?

I am making shrimp Gumbo tonight,...yummy!!

Sorry jodee for just seeing this now! My tabouleh I make with either bulgar wheat, or couscous. I really like the couscous. I boil a 1/2 cup of water with 1/3 cup of lemon juice and 2 tbsp. of olive oil. Throw in a package of couscous (1 cup), take off heat and let sit for 5 min. Meanwhile I mix up the veggies. Usually...grape tomatoes split in two...at least 1/2 a carton, or instead you can use regular tomatoes, about 3 cut up. I use a couple of small zuchinni cubed, and/or 1 english cucumber, and 1 small onion, or a bunch of green onions tops included. One tsp. of minced garlic as well. The spices I use are about 2 tsp. coriander, 1 tsp. cumin, I don't use mint because I don't like it in this recipe...but you could add some mint leaves. Salt and pepper to taste. 1/2 cup of parsley as well (dried). About 1 cup fresh cut up finely. I actually don't measure out the spices, but this is what I think approximately the amount I use is. I mix all the veggies, spices and couscous together, then pour another 1/3 cup of lemon juice on it, and another 2 tbsp. of olive oil. Refridgerate.

I like to have it sit in the fridge all day, or better yet, make it a day ahead.

Enjoy!

Nice!

Last night we had fresh cod with parsley potatoes, steamed peas, and julienned carrots, celery, and spring onions with a parsley dill sauce. Tonight I was thinking we might have teriyaki chicken with rice but I'm not quite sure about that yet.
