We rarely have dessert. I requested brownies last night, but to date,
non have materialized. (I'm trying to get Crash, my great dane, to do
some of the food prep around here)

I've got a volunteer meeting tonight so dinner will be quick. Methinks
I'll order Chinese delivery or stop and grab a bite somewhere on the way
home.

It is so hot here this week, a person doen't feel like eating much. Dennis
is to bring us a break tomorrow or Thursday. My dinner was a ceasar salad.

Hope you get your brownies.

Here it's grilled or broiled steak (John needs to go get a new gas canister
if he gets home early enough) Half head of lettuce with french dressing.
Maybe some rice for everyone else-I can live without it. Maybe a half cup
of low carb rocky road icecream later. Truly boring<GG>

I'm going to have a salad instead of making the au gratins. You're right.
It's just too nasty out there to contemplate heating up the kitchen.

I think they'll just have to wait. I'm considering a trip to the store for
Watergate Salad ingredients. The salad is no work at all, and it's cool
and yummy.

grilled chicken quarters (bbq sauce made from scratch)
patio potatoes (foil packets with potatoes, garlic, onions and peppers,
grilled)
Sauteed cabbage
garlic bread
Denali Extreme Moose tracks ice cream

Essy but tasty!

Heehee! You'll have to make it fast. Crash isn't eating yet. You might
be able to grab his (his *dinner*). <G>

LOL! He's not Danish. I was referring back to another thread where
someone speculated that Crash may have been a poodle.

I have a wonderful barbecue sauce recipe from the low-carb group (recipe
follows).

I'll do this the next time. I lost nearly half of my pepper slices.
Thanks for the tip!

Quoted message said:

Sauteed cabbage

I could have done that, too! Tomorrow for sure.

Quoted message said:

garlic bread

A personal favorite of Crash's. I should get some for when I grill
spaghetti (family joke - I used to grill so often that my daughter often
expressed her fear that she'd be served spaghetti with grill marks on it).

I'm positive that we don't get that brand here, so it's probably safe for
you to tell what's in it.

That's the best kinda meal!

(I agree with your assessment of that other situation)

Jenny's Indispensable Almost No Carb Barbecue Sauce

Recipe By :Jenny the Bean (asdlc), modified slightly by Damsel
Serving Size : 27 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : condiments

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tablespoons Splenda® granular -- (18 drops liquid)
1 dash cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum -- optional
1 1/2 tablespoons yellow mustard
15 ounces tomato sauce -- plain
6 tablespoons vinegar
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 tablespoon Frank's Hot Sauce
3/4 tablespoon salt -- optional
1 1/2 teaspoons liquid smoke flavoring

Place Splenda and cayenne pepper into a medium sauce pan. Add xanthan gum,
if you choose to thicken the sauce. Blend mustard into dry ingredients.
Slowly blend in the tomato sauce. Stir in the rest of the ingredients.

Bring to a boil, then lower heat. Let simmer for a few minutes. Let cool,
then refrigerate.

Note: this sauce will taste a bit peculiar if you taste it when it is still
hot. Don't worry! Something magical happens when it sits in the fridge.

Carbohydrates per Serving (1 tablespoon): Less than 1 gram. Half an ounce
is 1 gm carbs, 6 calories.

Yield:
"1 2/3 cups"

NOTES : This isn't a substitute for the "real thing," it's an improvement.
It's so good the rest of the family gobbles it up and I have to keep making
more.

Oh, it's awesome, if you like dark chocolate. It's dark chocolate ice
cream, chocolate fudge filled mini cups and ribbons of dark chocolate
fudge. I like all of their other flavors as well - especially Bear
Claw. http://www.moosetracks.com (requires flash).

I am not a chocolate lover but I like ice cream - especially dark
chocolate. I wish the stores here carried more of their flavors.

I have to make that Eisenhower salad soon and give you the recipe...
it's very close to this. Jello, not pudding. Cottage cheese (not as
gross as you'd think) instead of Cool Whip... no cherries.

🙂
thanks
