Just took a couple lobster tails out of the freezer. That looks like supper.

A simple beautiful dinner LS!!

stuffed peppers. this is very good recipe, I will be making it again.
I usally have lots of red gravy the oven baked classic stuffed peppers . (not the green ones) I make mashed tators as a side.
I will make some in a day or 2.lol. I just ate them as is. So good.
Okay.....this is what's planned and this is what has happened so far.
First course is lobster ravioli with a lemon butter sauce.
Second course is stuffed pork chops with sauteed peas and baby carrots.
Dessert is the last two slices of choclate peanut butter cake from the restaurant.
That's the plan.
This is what happened.....
Yesterday evening a beautiful young male cat was hanging out in the yard. He has a collar with a name tag, phone number and rabies identifier. We assumed he belonged to the new tenant downstairs. This evening, he's still outside, crying his beautiful eyes out. I went outside with a bowl of water and some dry cat food. He ate the food like he's not eaten in days. I came back inside to pace in the kitchen and fret. He started crying again. I went back outside to try to read the collar. Wrote down the phone number, came up and called it. It's a wisconsin number that has been disconnected, yet the rabies tag is from New Orleans. Go back outside to discuss the situation with JuJuby (his name,apparently) He makes goo goo eyes at me again. I have a brief chat with Lou who picks up Maxi and goes into the parlour. JuJuby comes into the kitchen because, well, he's in my arms.
I put him down and he makes a bee line for Max's dish. She jumps out of Lou's arms and proceeds to hiss at the stranger who's chowing down some more....until she gets close. Then he pees like he's scared and she suddenly has a pair of balls... Clearly, I'm handling the whole situation poorly. Now, JuJuby is in the guest room with a can of food all for himself, a bowl of water, and a makeshift litter pan. He ate the entire can of food an Max is kind of on alert. He's stopped crying and is looking around. If I go into the room, he's chatty and rubby and wants to play. I posted a found cat alert on the SPCA website. I've checked craig's list, Nola.com for lost cat posts...nothing. I've just showered and still want to make dinner.
I need a cocktail first.

Bless you heart Vera. Poor JuJuby was starving to death for food and for attention. Maxi will have her fur in a wad for awhile if you decide to foster JuJuby until you can find his people, but if enough time goes by, she will come around.Okay.....this is what's planned and this is what has happened so far.

It's 4:30, & I never got out of my jammies. I have lobster/shrimp ravioli (buitoni), but it's been in the fridge for a few days. Not sure if it's still good. I wanted to make an alfredo tomato sauce I found. Guess I could serve it over my cheese-filled ravioli. Or... go w/ Japanese order in.
Great dinners everyone.

Everyone's plate of food looks great.....
In my case...it's not "What's on the Table"...but rather.."Whats in the yard outside..in the animal feeding pit!?
Ha Ha ...Mommy didn't like the meatloaf...She said the glaze was too sweet.
I did forget to add the mustard to the glaze, and that is why.... I thought it was good, but I wasn't going to save it and have it grow into FuZZLoaf in the reefer.
The mashed taters were good, and she will eat them anytime.
There is not one thing to eat sweet in this house. With Tinababy still not up to baking....( and she's the house baker) ..I will give a cheesecake a shot later when she goes to sleep. I hope we have Gray-Ham cracker crumbs!!
We have three sour creams...but I will have to scrounge up three cream cheese packs.. I guess it's off to the downstairs refer to see. (X) (X) (x) (x) Toes and fingers crossed....

Vera, just let the cats do what they are gonna do. They will come to an agreement in their own cat way. Hope it isn't ugly, LOL! Kudos for befriending JuJuby!
I had your lobster ravioli!
Costco's "Taste This" program has now prompted us to buy our 4th item because we
liked it: lobster ravioli. Granted, it's probably way down there on the goodness scale,
but we are ignorant fools who don't have a taste index for GOOD lobster ravioli, LOL!
Thick cut some big mushrooms, sauteed them with some roasted sweet red peppers,
garlic, butter and herbs. Added the ravioli, some fresh basil, olive oil and Parmesan
cheese. Wasn't bad at all.... for us ignorant of good Italian food fools, LOL!
It was picture worthy, but camera wasn't handy, like usual.

"Don't look at her in the eyes...or you will "Turn To Stone"... LOL
When DD was born in "78" ...a few years later..her favorite songs were from E.L.O. (the group Electric Light Orchestra), and one of the songs in the album was the song,"Turn To Stone"....
OMG it was so funny. My daughter was a little PITA and never would fall asleep.
well, Dear Dad rigged up the old 8 track player near her crib, and she would listen to ELO over and over and over again for hours till she fell asleep. She wore out 5 (five ) .. 8Track of ELO all the same album.. when I had her on my knee trying to get her tired, I would play the song "Turn To Stone" and I would bounce her @$$ up and down in beat to the music. Well....that was a mistake, because she would scream,"Daddy"...Rockme stone DaaaDeee!!!"
Holy Jumboli...when I was in the bathroom undressed to take a shower...I looked at my right leg, and from the bouncing excersise it looked like Arnold Shwartzenegers Leg..all muscles and veins and huge...and there was the left leg....It looked like a leg of lamb, compared to the right leg which looked like a leg from CrowMagnon Man 24,000 years B/C...Ha Ha Ha Ha ...
If I were to kick an elephant with that leg, I'm sure it would have fallen down. LOL.....
I'm sort of facinated with Mythology Too! ...

I looked around, and I don't see anything that's "gone missing", CalCook.
Sounds fun. Maybe you could post it again?
Thank you everyone. It was good for a first run. Next time I will season the meat and let sit a bit longer. I cooked the steak in my large cast iron pan then did the peppers in the same pan. Next time I will grill the steak either outside or on my stove top grill pan. And maybe heat my smaller cast iron pan really hot and serve in the pan like at On the Border Restaurant. LOL
Beautiful color Nancy-MD
