In spite of the kids' screaming fits today... I actually have a plan for dinner! Shocking, I know... :eek:

I'm making marinated sirloin steak tips and corn on the cob on the grill, either potatoes or fresh broccoli as a side, quite possibly salad as a starter (got some beautiful orange cherry tomatoes today!) and homemade raspberry ice cream from fresh berries for dessert. :D

Baked Halibut, lobster cream sauce, rice, sugar snap peas

dessert will be several margaritas at the Hampton Casino Ballroom. We're going to see Jeff Dunham tonight; wonder if he's added any new puppets to his act.

This is definately my kind of meal. I like the variety!

Grilled salmon with maple and grainy mustard, new potatos, and garlic spinach at the snoseek house tonight. Dessert=bannana bread.

It was delicious, too! :D

Salad had mixed field greens with spinach, red delicious apple, carrots, strawberries, orange cherry tomatoes, pecans, and shredded sharp cheddar. Went with broccoli instead of potatoes. The ice cream was a little seedy...next time I'll actually try to strain the seeds. But I was in a hurry and didn't think it would make a huge difference.

See! I can cook! :lol:

Tonight, however, I have no clue yet... :oops:

That sounds like a really steezy salad.

I sort of want to make Tacos tonight..I haven't made tacos since I was in Virginia last month with family. I'm a very anal taco chef.

If it's just for me..I take 1/2 pound of ground beef..and once it browns..add about 1/4 pack of the seasoning mix that they sell next to the Taco kits..along with some water..I like dry tacos so I use about 1/2 as much water as most people. Then I bake the shells..and on my Taco I put a mexican shredded cheese blend..lettuce..and salsa..Sometimes I make my own quacamole..and use some of the extra meat and tortilla chips or a crumpled shell to make a taco salad with the leftover meat and fixins.

Of course some Corona and lime or some Sam Adams Summer makes a good compliment..If you have a date..make some flan along with cabernet or shiraz for a nice afro-deez-eee-ack

Tonight is going to be a good old fashioned clam bake and some beers all consumed on the deck of my brother's place less than 100 feet from the shore of Narraganett Bay in RI.

Good views, good company, good food, cold beer, and no cooking/clean up for me to do! A total winner in my book! ;)

Another salad like last night's (though I added green onions to mine), chicken breast stuffed with cheese and broccoli (I can't take credit for that...frozen :oops:) and some awesome mashed potatoes with sour cream, cheddar, butter, and fresh green onions. :D More homemade raspberry ice cream for dessert tonight...

Right now triscuits and olive tapanade...pretty soon a salad I made from the salad bar..hard boiled egg, spinach artichoke hearts, tomatoes, and a single mini corn..I got a porterhouse steak cut in half so it's very thin and only weight .6lbs with the bone..I guess they call it butterflyed..and I have a little 4 ounce single serving dixie cup of Haagan Daaz caramel ice cream for later..I'm repping PA with some Rolling rock in the green bottle...After dinner..a long walk..hopefully 5+ miles like last night.

Hit up Panera Bread tonight on my way home from Hartford. Had a smokehouse turkey panini, an apple and a glass of iced tea. Nothing great, but it definately beats subway ;)
