Whats for dinner 18th Feb?

[SierraCook]

Wow, GB that menu sounds great. If I was going to dinner there I would have a hard time making up my mind also. Here is what I would have:

OVEN-BAKED CRAB CAKES
[FONT=Quay Sans,Quay Sans]Made from King Crab, placed over a warm Asian coleslaw, drizzled with chili mayonnaise. Served with rice pilaf and vegetable du jour. 18.99[/FONT][FONT=Quay Sans,Quay Sans]

I have decided to make taco salad for my dinner tonight. I have been wanting to make it all week, but just have not gotten around to it.

I'm stumped

Buckytom, how is your wife feeling? how are you doing - taking care of everyone is a work!

Tonight, it will be sticky chicken, roasted red and white potatoes with onions OR potatoe snow balls (haven't decided) - brocolli with cheese sauce - possibly a salad (if I'm in the mood) and rolls - of course, lets not forget the wine.

For dessert, chocolate truffle and caramel pie.

I'm stumped- just what is sticky chicken? I've heard of sticky rice, but never chicken. Always looking fo new ideas

GB - can't wait to hear how your dinner went - I am sure you had a nice time.

Jkath - how did the scampi turn out - did you do rice or angel hair - like I said, I am making it this week, I think I may be angel hair - what's your favorite?

Buckytom and Jap1148 - sticky chicken is a dish I make in the crock pot. I actually made it years ago but someone brought it up here somewhere recently, and it jogged my memory. The recipe is as follows - and I apologize if I should not be posting it here, someone let me know if this is a booboo:

Sticky Chicken

4 tsp salt
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp thyme
1 t sp white pepper
1/2 ts garlic powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 large roasting chicken
1 c chopped onions

Combine all spices. Rub the spice mixture all over the chicken, inside and out(of course, first take off your rings (heehee ) and clean it and take giblets out first). Please in reseable bag and refrigerate over night. Put chicken in crockpot with no liquid. Cook on low 8 hours. This will be make its own juices and be very tender!

Now guys, I used a huge purdue stuffer (almost 8 lbs - hated putting that beautiful bird in the crock but I needed a big one). Anyways, This bird had its own temp and this thing was done in 5 hours - which is what has been happening alot to me with this crock pot - I hardly ever cook anything for 8 hrs anymore - even though most crock recipes calls for that. I made a gravy with some of the pan juices, but it really isn't needed. Oh, and another tip, if you don't care what the bird looks like, I usually cook my birds breast side down so all the juices run into the white meat - very tasty.
