My in-laws are taking us here for dinner: Welcome to Schuler's Restaurant & Pub

We were just talking about the menu and selecting items we can't get elsewhere. For example, I won't be ordering the Maryland crab cakes Probably a toss-up between the whitefish and the walleye.

Yum, Nice menus!

+1. I love reading menus. Even after I order, I ask the waits to leave the menu, just so I can continue to peruse.

Me, too. And sometimes I take pix of it with my phone for later reference

Thought I'd start with the old nursery rhyme.

Tonight we're having bruschetta with Jamie Oliver's Squashed Cherry Tomato salad: Squashed Cherry Tomato and Smashed Olive Bruscetta Recipe : Jamie Oliver : Recipes : Food Network Along with some leftover pizza.

My cherry toms are starting to come on strong, it's a great way to use them!

Homegrown blueberries and cream for dessert, oh, and watermelon margaritas!

What's your recipe for watermelon Margaritas?

Akin to reading cookbooks.

Another menu reader here. It's fun to read menus even if its places you might not ever visit. Part of enjoying Your dinner experience too.

I snared a couple good looking green peppers at the farmer's mkt this weekend. Making one into halved stuffed peppers. I think if you split them top to bottom you can pack more stuffing in than if you just remove the caps. It's a theory. It's not like I Need more food.

Also made a pot of homemade pinto beans for refried beans today. Going to freeze some of the beans. Haven't done that before. I expect they are freezeable.

And a piece of blueberry pie. Currently freezing garden picked blueberries too.

What's your recipe for watermelon Margaritas?

I'll post it in the Drinks section. Basically, I puree watermelon chunks (both the red and white parts, cut off the dark green skin) in the blender until liquified, with the juice of half a lime, maybe a bit of lemonade, and a bit of agave syrup, or whatever other sweetener you like. I keep it in a pitcher in the fridge. It's nice watermelon lemonade. You can also freeze it in ice cube trays. Then, just make it like a regular Marg, 3 parts tequila, 1 part orange liqueur of choice. Blend with ice, or frozen watermelon ice cubes, or not. We like ours on the rocks.

I'm trying my hand at chicken cutlets with a salad on top. Have the cutlets breaded and salad put together need to make dressing and fry up cutlets, will either mash some potatoes or roast them, stuff some mushrooms, cook some green beans. And fix some fruit to go over a pound cake.

Oh my! That looks really yummy. Hmmm, I wonder if we can get crawdads here.

The Swedish Club of Montreal has a crayfish supper every year. I should ask where they get them.

I had GotGarlic's http://www.discusscooking.com/forums/f49/slow-cooker-pulled-pork-81344.html#post1179692. That was delicious. I had it with coleslaw and a couple of baby dill-garlic pickles. It's still in the slow cooker on warm, 'cause I'm sure I will want some more tonight.

Christmas Soup (ham, potato's, kidney beans with some kale) with hot turkey and jack cheese on baguette bread for dipping.
