simple italian chicken wings - garlic, olive oil, lemon, parsley. baked. steamed white rice, steamed asparagus.

if you want to incorporate potatoes, here's what i would do. make a regular flour based pasta. i would also make a traditional type sauce. then i would get some chicken breasts and new potatoes and marinate them in some garlic, olive oil, rosemary and a little lemon. either grill or roast...

thanks lee. it's a little work with no sous chef, but i've done many of these so i've got a system now. this time around just five guest plus my wife and i. the most i've done is 10 courses for 10 people. that was definitely my limit. i've been lurking a lot and i've posted here and...

i like a little balsamic in the saute. i would also have some garlic aoli as a condiment.

i don't know if beets would enhance or compliment the scallop in a significant way. maybe a beet gastrique?
