We are heading to the ME coast for the weekend. Tonight it will be a little Italian place and tomorrow Lobsta.

 

[Alix]

Pork here tonight. And fresh corn on the cob. I need to decide whether to stir fry the pork, do it as kebabs or what. I'll work that out later.

 

[Barb L.]

We're having bbq chicken salads with mixed greens, corn, black beans, tortilla strips, cheddar and ranch dressing. I have chocolate chip zucchini muffins in the oven right now. They'll get a chocolate glaze later and be a good dessert/evening snack!

Breakfast was Ovaltine. Lunch will be Conchigilie and tomato sauce with hot Italian sausage and meatball. Supper, eh, who knows? Maybe a salad, maybe a burger and fries from the closest fast food place, maybe even a mushroom cheesesteak hoagie. Definitely not pizza though. I am not in the mood for pizza.

I've had a hankering for linguine carbonara and linguine and steamed clams. Could do the carbonara at home, but since it's going to be another hot day, I may wind up with quizno's tuna subs or delivery.

I am off off off today. Lou came up last night.... We took a 15 mile bike ride through the parks this morning. Dinner will be great!

We're starting with mai tais for cocktail hour.

I have fresh mozzarella with tomatoes and basil from the garden to start with. I'm using a combination of very ripe reds and unripe green tomatoes for colour and flavour. I've got great bread from a bakery in hoboken.

Dinner will be stuffed whole red snapped done on the grill. I'm going to stuff it with roasted bread cubes, plums, cilantro, and onions. I'll make a sauce of white wine and mangoes to go with that, served with brown rice.

I have almond and coconut macaroons from Fralingers in Ocean City for dessert.


I also have a 10 pound pork from Canulli brothers on 9th Street in Philly smoking in the yard. That could possibly be picked on tonight, or saved for down the shore picnic tomorrow.

Okay, I don't bake much, but this sounds great - and healthy! Mind posting the recipe? TIA.

I was thinking of Lamb Gyros and baklava tonight.....but talk of steaks in another thread have swayed me that way.

So, T-Bones on the grill, twice baked potatoes with sour cream and fresh chives, steamed broccoli with cheese, and rolls.

Chicken "something." Had planned a baked chicken dish, but it's still too hot to turn the oven on. Gonna revise the menu and put the chicken in the crock-pot. I'm thinking along the lines of some garlic, white wine and tarragon. I have a head of garlic I can roast to make a spread for the half baguette that's in the fridge, then complete the meal with a light salad. I'll be soooooooooo glad when this heat is over. It's just no fun cooking when it's like this.

Toronto?

oh my gosh, I owe you seeds
when I get home, I must put on my thinking cap​

Here’s a thought, you could always move that really wonderful toaster oven you own to the front porch, back porch, far away room, etc, and bake in it?

 

[Katie H]

Good point, keltin. Hadn't thought of that. Merits consideration. Thanks.
