Pasta with a tomato sauce. Tossed salad.

I think it might be a big garden salad with bread and butter. It's supposed to be 90-ish here today.
Not sure - we will be out at Dad's today and dinner will depend on what we eat out for lunch.

Aidelle's Teriyaki Pineapple Meatballs will be starring in a bok choy, peppers, onions and mushroom stir fry, with a ginger sauce. Real brown rice will co-star.
The supporting actors in tonight's festival of gastronomy will be a bag of potsticker oriental dumplings. This unknown talent brings a powerful punch of quality and flavor from the low priced mysterious world of the local Asian supermarket, and should be watched closely... They are a rising star!

I've been practicing for the September edition of my show, so Osso Bucco with risotto again tonight.
The meat is the easy part. Getting every grain of rice in the risotto to cook to perfect al dente at the same time is the hard part. Hence the constant practice....

I didn't think there would be so much fish left over from the flounder I cooked last night. It was pretty small. So tonight I think I'll make some fish salad with the leftovers. I have some celery, some more baby leeks, cucumber, maybe some summer squash. sounds pretty tasty....

with those ingredients you could also make a nice fish soup or stew to go with the salad.I didn't think there would be so much fish left over from the flounder I cooked last night.

sure, but the fish doesn't want to be cooked any more, and besides, it is a hot summer day.

oooh, I just read what you posted. I think I'm coming to your place.
You know, it's a funny thing.
Classic Osso Bucco is supposed to be done with veal shank. I have done the recipe four times in the last two weeks, twice with veal, twice with plain old beef shanks. Maybe my palette has become dull from too many cigarettes and too much beer, but I really can't find enough of a difference to justify 3-4x the price...

I wish it was raining here... it's hotter than a "you know what."
Stuffed peppers sound good. How are you making yours... like you said you normally do?
I had a french bread pizza for lunch, so I'm not having any dinner... it's too warm. Mark is getting a big salad.

I hear ya TMC veal prices are crazy....
I bought a bag of frozen cod at Costco today, so I'll do something with that. Probably serve rice and green beans as sides. The green beans in my garden are growing like wild!
