For dinner tonight

James has requested quiche. I'm gonna make two, since he likes it even
better cold. I think this one will contain spinach, feta, and
caramelized onions. What are you having?

Chicken thighs were on sale for 69 cents/lb. Some onion, some herbs,
some white wine. Boiled potatoes. Baby bok choy, stirfried with
ginger. Probably no dessert tonight. -aem\

I pounded chicken breasts flat, lightly smeared with a German sweet-hot
mustard, then dusted with Old Bay and paprika and grilled quickly over hot
coals. 4 WW points. I scored several pounds of beautiful asparagus at
99¢/lb. We had copious amounts of it, barely nuked with just a touch of
olive oil and fresh lemon. 0 WW points.

BTW, Serene, last night I chunked a medium sweet potato and half a Vidalia
onion, cooked and caramelized as you suggested. Delicious! I didn't
calculate the points, but it was within reason.

Yep, quiche is the thing tonight. The filling has ricotta
and roasted peppers and it has a corn crust.

I made meatballs and spaghetti sauce last night, but I didn't get around to
eating it. When I get home I'll heat up that sauce and make spaghetti and
garlic bread. I'll also make a simple salad: Rub the salad bowl with raw
garlic, then add romaine, butter lettuce, peppadews, and black olives. Toss
with EVOO (one of the few times that extra-virgin makes a difference), then
sprinkle with red-wine vinegar and Parmesan cheese.

Got a bottle of Chianti waiting, too.

Corn crust? Cornmeal crust? Sounds interesting!

Yes indeed, it's cornmeal. It's inspired by this John
Ash recipe, though I'm going pretty far afield of it
tonight.

I usually prefer flakier crusts but the cornmeal
is a nice twist.

Since you ask, probably rack of lamb with baked sweet potato and fennel
in cheese sauce. The weather is not too hot at the moment. And we might
have poached peaches if I can get my act together.

This will please the dogs. Bones two nights running - we had veal rib
eye chops last night to inaugurate the new Scanpan grillpan.

Gotta save this recipe, too. I wonder how it would be with spinach and/or
sun-dried tomatoes added to the filling. Thanks!

Tuna hotdish and a couple of ibuprofen. (I dropped a can of tuna on my

Mmmmmmm...that sounds good. I love quiche.

My in-laws are visiting us this week, so we went out to dinner tonight. I
had the Snapper Siciliano (http://www.grottohouston.com/menu.htm -
description is down near the bottom). We split a slice of Italian wedding
cake and a serving of tiramisu for dessert. Yummy.

I just ate a cara cara orange that I got for 39 cents a pound today,
and it was beautiful (slightly pink flesh) and so yummysweet.

Wow, you're way ahead of me. Your crystal ball is in fine

Guajillo and ancho. Goes nice with the corn flavors.

Had a few glasses of Smoked Loon syrah along with it.
Quite a nice bottle for six bucks.
