I have been craving creamy cucumber salad.
Might make that today. As for what to go with it, that's still up in the air.

I am thinking about making meatballs with rotel/cheese sauce over rice too.
Or maybe just a meatloaf with said sauce.

I scored some nice YELLOW cheddar cheese at Walmart yesterday (yippee!) and I have some smoked pork chops that need to be used, so I think I'll make Ham and Scalloped Potatoes (well, smoked pork chops are ham, right?) We like the potatoes chunky, not sliced, so I precook the potatoes. Ricardo brought me some beautful green beans this morning, so I'll cook some green beans and also make a green salad.

Karen I will bring you some more yellow cheddar if you will serve me that meal!! I can't find smoked chops. Just wait till I get there to cook (I will help gladly) oh and send me a plane ticket!!

Do you have the original Old Bay seasoning? I happened to pick up the Lemon and pepper variety of Old Bay and WOW is that good!! I add lemon juice to my baked clams filling and this time I added some of the lemon pepper old bay and it gave it a nice kick!! I also sprinkled it on top of them before I baked them.

I don't make much fish but I think the lemon pepper variety will work pretty good on chicken and gravy the next time I make B/S or cutlets with lemon gravy.

I'm doing baby back ribs OUTSIDE!!!!!!!!!!!! with mashed sweet potatoes, sugar snaps and a salad.

Got three mosquito bites while I was lighting the grill....but the new outdoor dining set arrived earlier this week, complete with great red umbrella. It's still too hot and buggy to eat out there, but I can dream, I can dream!

I grabbed a knock-off recipe off the Internet and made Applebee's Oriental Chicken Salad. Came out pretty good, including the chicken breast breaded with corn flakes. Sorry, no pictures. We rushed dinner then had to go to a wake.

Thank you Sass!! I am so sad ............ my bottle of malt vinegar is in search of fishies & chippies!! If I roll news paper into a cone do you think a food fairy will fill it with fish and chips? LOL

Sass, your fish looks so perfect, and I love Peeps' colorful plate - the rice looks very good, also! Joe, I'm sorry you are attending a wake - please accept my condolences for the loss of a friend or family member...we've lost two close friends this summer, and hope that our season of loss lets up for awhile.

I do like the idea of the Applebee's salad, however - I'll google it. We had a wintertime dinner on a summer day. It was pretty cool and overcast today, temps only hit mid-80s, and it was a cool 75F when we got up this morning. We actually used the sheet to cover us last night, 'cause we got cold. I made scalloped potatoes with ham/smoked pork chops, green beans with bacon and a salad with homemade ranch dressing. Cookies (white chocolate chip, dried cranberries and toasted pecans) for dessert.

Peeps - hope you're feeling better.

Karen, that is just the best!
I am always at a loss for what to say when I see all your dinner pics.
Feels like I am either repeating myself or at a loss for words really.
I am LOVING that cheesy potato ham dish, and of course I adore green beans with bacon .. and if you don't mind, umm I'd like your recipe on the homemade ranch dressing.. ;)
The pink plate!!!!! haha
