I'm heading out to the grill with some wings and a grill basket of marinated veggies.
What's up at your house?

DH made dinner tonight. He made an appetizer of English cucumber with créme frâiche and diced red onion; it was pretty good, although I'm not a fan of raw onion.
Then he broiled kielbasa and simmered it with a mixture of sauerkraut, mustard and beer and served that with a baked potato. Good stuff
Nikki, how did you bake the pork chops? I usually grill them - broil in American speak, I think? - but recently they've turned out rather chewy and I wondered if baking/roasting them would be better.
CatPat, When I was much younger and still living with my parents, I once made a meatloaf for the family with some 'mince'/'ground beef' I found in the fridge. After we had all eaten and enjoyed it, someone asked where the dog's food was and we realized what we had just eaten. It was not exactly ground beef, but ground lots of other meat lol.
Yesterday dh and I had dinner at a restaurant at lunch time - tomato soup and scampi with chips and garden peas - nice, but as usual the peas went cold. We ate dessert at home - strawberry ice cream with strawberries for him and vanilla ice cream with grapes for me. We just had a snack at dinner time, but I made spaghetti Bolognese for my daughter and sausages, chips and baked beans for one of my sons. My other son ate at a friends' house. I cheated a bit with the spag bol by using the remains of a jar of gf Bolognese sauce and some left over cooked ground beef, but it's one up from a ready cooked meal lol. Also, she enjoyed it. I cooked the sausages for my son in the oven as I find frying sausages very frustrating.

I got instruction from Pinterest lol. The last time I baked some they were tough. But I preheated my oven to 350, even the instruction said 325. I just seasoned my chops with Worcestershire sauce, old bay garlic and herb, salt and pepper. Baked for 30 minutes, turning one time. They were really good and tender.
