...or maybe it's the need to be the keeper of the dinner thread..??
It's opening up to be another beautiful shore day..so as soon as I post this I'm off to pack a picnic
As we gear up toward New Orleans we'll be drinking sazeracs tonight.
First course is roasted marrow bones with lemon gremolata and stuffed zucchini.
Dinner is pan roasted potatoes with cubanelle peppers, grilled rib eye steaks, sauteed mushrooms and green beans.
Lou has not made the wine selection yet.
Dinner is that blueberry peach pie with homemade vanilla ice cream for dessert.
Now...it's suntan lotion time

🌹 Still trying to get it right.
you're a sick, sick person peep.
how can you think of dinner before the sun rises on the day?
i'm just heading out now for souvlaki for friday's dinner. unless shake-n-bake pork chops happens to show up on 57th and 11th in the city sometime soon...
homemakers mostly woman have been doing it for centries!! how do you think they plan meals for a week or more and save money on the sales? not to mention a soup, stew, tomato gravy or soup etc that needs long prep and cook time like thawing, prepping the ingredients and the actual time from start to finish!! or did you think the indians and pilgrims, santa or the easter bunny brings dinner?
it's like a game of chess, you gotta be 3 to 10 moves ahead!!
LOL sorry but you just got in the line of fire babes, hope you had your flack jacket on cuz i'm impersonateing elmer fudd and it's bucky season!!
i have this arguement with the hub ALL the fracking time!! ARGGGGGGGG

I do all my planning on Thursdays when the grocery flyers come in. I usually know a week ahead what I'm going to be making for the week. It may change from day to day but the meals are the ones I planned for.
If I'm making something like a stew or spaghetti sauce i start it the day before or late morning. It's always done in time for dinner.

I really hope you got some sleep, Peep. But hey, if you need help with your menus, holler. I do the same with a full-time job. Here's a tip - no soups, stews, or long-cooking sauces in the summertime
IMO, the best way to enjoy all the fresh garden bounty is as simply as possible.Tonight, we're having a mixed bag - the starter will be a marinated salad of bocconcini and fresh tomatoes and cucumbers from the garden; grilled chicken with a glaze to be revealed later (Iron Chef entry) and grilled veggies over a green salad, accompanied by grilled French bread. No heating up the house today!

i have some green pepper, onion, potatoes, green onion, shredded cheddar and bacon. i'm thinking sauted veggies, potatoes and bacon omlettes topped with cheddar or with fried potato and onion homefries on the side. or dipping eggs (over easy or poached) with homefries cooked with all the above bacon and veggies and some baking podwer bisuits to dip in the yolk!! or corn and bacon waffles. hmmmmmmmmmmmm i think what we are having for dinner is ..................................... BREAKFAST!!
updates to follow!! have a great day everyone!!
plus i am hoping to throw together some spinach pies!!

Hey, Bo - I don't think of it as limiting myself - I think of it as keeping myself out of a hot kitchen, enjoying the great outdoors with a glass of wine in hand, watching the garden grow while I grill and marinate the fruits of it
But diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks - makes the world interesting!

Well,,,, not "per se"
When I was a kid and the family would have Swiss Steak (which was always the brown version), there was usually a 1/2" thick bone or two and I would eat the marrow. I didn't know it was an actual course to fix though. I guess I thought it was more "novelty" eating (I'll dub it). It was there, so I ate it. And nobody else wanted it (lol).

I'm glad you got some rest.
I generally decide the night's dinner based off what catches my eye on NCT. I run out, that day/evening, and get the ingredients...I look for things I can make some other night, things that require more preparation, but plans change so often ('round here) that sometimes it's not easy to set my sites on any particular dish unless I know everyone's on board with it. Like tonight...we'll be on the road, so we'll most likely pick up something on the way down.
