I've got some spaghetti sauce simmering while the noodles are cooking. In about 5 mins the noodles should be done and we can eat. It's just spaghetti tonight. No bread for garlic bread, no lettuce for salads. But I do have some pastries for dessert.
Most important part of the meal! Heck, IMO they could BE the meal.
Finally grilled the beef kebobs. Made brown rice the Sara Moulton way - couldn't believe how fluffy it was! Salad, of course. Alas, no dessert. One of these days I HAVE to make bakechef's brownies.
Our neightbor sent over some fresh striped bass he caught in the Atlantic today. Meant to grill that with the 'bobs but forgot about it by the time Himself played chef. Tomorrow I'll just bake it with oregano, thyme and lemon unless someone has a killer recipe to suggest before then. Maybe I'd better get those brownies made too since I'm sure the neighbors will think they were a good swap for the fish.
