Hey Keltin, I've got to do those scallops tonight. I put them in the freezer (of all places:unsure:) since I never got around to them last weekend.

I have no idea what the cocktail is this evening but I was and have been ready for it since Monday afternoon. It's supposed to become a lovely day..

Corriander dusted scallops with a roasted corn sauce
Garden tomato crostinis
spanish fig and almond cake
I have about half a dozen assorted cheeses from the past two weeks. (gotta eat them or lose them...travel in 6 days!!)
Pan fried polenta squares with peach and pancetta
Philly pretzels

Did I mention the cocktail???

Gotta get to work now ...have to decide on a cook today. Today is the day. Have to put this thing to bed once and for all. And don't even get me started on the interviews I've held for an assistant manager...

Took a Big, Thick BeefSteak out (practically a roast !); if it thaws, I'll do something with it, otherwise it's Pizza night.

I haven't decided if I want to cook or not tonight. If I do I'll probably grill some rib-eyes. Baked potatoes, salad of tomatoes/cucumbers/onions from the garden.

I have some channel cat frozen in the freezer that my youngest son brought me about a month ago so I suppose I will cook that but I'm not yet decided as to what I will fix to go with it. :)

I might reheat the pork picatta from last night. I fixed another plate for myself. And maybe grill a couple ears of corn.

Thank you, Barb :^D
Using the Riesling instead of sherry was a big improvement to my palette. It went from pretty good to great.

Well; That chunk of meat is still pretty solid, so it's going onto the bottom shelf of the fridge for tomorrow, which chases my Iron Chef entry to Sunday........... The talk of scallops has me thinking a stir fry ....................hmmmmm.........

It's dinner and drinks night with my wife. What's for dinner is.... I dunno. I'll have to check the specials and look at the menu when we get there.

Margaritas are a real possibility.

(Although the bourbon sidecars would be interesting, too. Or maybe a bourbon sidecar, hold the sidecar :mrgreen:)

hmmm, shrimp..... I might have to wrap some shrimp up in bacon for an appetizer. I'll have the grill going for the corn anyway.

DH is going to work late tonight, which means he'll most likely pick something up for himself (for dinner) before he gets home...so BIL & I will make use of left-overs.
