Doesn't that look fantastic?!

What are y'all having? :hi:

[Parche]

1. Yum Yum

:hi:

[XemaSab]

2. On tap?

I was expecting :beer:

[bicentennial_baby]

3. I was being colloquial...

:P

:hi:

[TheProphetess]

4. That looks devine!

I bookmarked that page and am definitely going to make it very soon. Please tell me how yours comes out!

Unfortunately, we are having drive-through food tonight b/c we have an appointment to look at a house we are thinking about renting. We won't have time for real food tonight. :(
Tomorrow I'm making roasted chicken with vegetables, though!

[bicentennial_baby]

7. I will! Hopefully with pics!

Enjoy the roasted chicken tomorrow!! :hi:

[Kali]

5. Do you read her other blog?

She can be hilarious!

[bicentennial_baby]

9. Yes! And her family is beautiful!

:hi:

[Fran Kubelik]

6. Oh I love her!

Read her stuff all the time. Haven't actually tried a recipe yet, though I have several of them bookmarked, including the lasagna. :)

I have no idea what we're eating tonight. Maybe we'll eat out tonight.

[flying rabbit]

8. Thanks for that link

my arteries clogged after looking at it, but damn that food looks good. I think I will try the lasagna next week.
:9

[bicentennial_baby]

10. You are welcome!!

Eat well! And let us know how the lasagna turns out! :hi:

[Shine]

11. jeez, must be the time difference. We just finished a late breakfast

I can't think far enough ahead to know about dinner yet. :D

I've only been up for two hours, woke up at 10am and ShineGirl slept in til almost 11am! :wow: I think that's a record for her.

Yes, we love summer....:loveya:

Your dinner looks delish! :9

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

12. I start planning early!

It's not even 3 yet :D

I wish I could sleep that late... my brain won't let me. x(

:hi:

[Shine]

14. Well, the truth is, we've been staying up waaaaay too late

I'm normally an early riser, too. It's weird/nice to get up so late, but those are the benefits of NOT having a strict schedule right now.

School starts for the kids on the 29th, so we've gotta start changing our evil ways or it's gonna be hell. :scared:

It's all about The Routine, once school starts. :D

PS. We're hooked on Top Chef, too! Esp MrShine, who is a whiz in the kitchen. I've gotta get caught up on the last few tivo'd episodes...I'm a bit behind. Great show!

[bicentennial_baby]

20. it's such a fun show!

I've been watching since Season One. :)

:hi:

[huskerlaw]

13. I went to a Frietkot

and had real Belgian fries and some sort of fried beef kebob...it was yummy!

[bicentennial_baby]

15. Having a good trip?

:hi:

[huskerlaw]

17. It's been excellent!

Unfortunately, I'll be back in the States tomorrow afternoon. :(

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

19. Awwwww

:hug: I remember having to leave France to come back. My condolences. :)

[LynneSin]

16. I'm moving in with you guys - if only for the good eats

Sounds yummy!

[bicentennial_baby]

18. We've got good herb too

:smoke:

And we only smoke butts outdoors, so there's no 2nd hand smoke or yucky smell in the house :D

:hi:

[LynneSin]

21. Well I don't do the herbs but I appreciate the outdoor smoking

:D

[bicentennial_baby]

23. I figured you would...Plus, we make damn good cocktails

:D

[LynneSin]

26. I'm knowledgable in fine wines and tequilas

and I make a mean plate of fried chicken

[bicentennial_baby]

27. Ok, we can make this work!

I need a wine person, and I've never made fried chicken! Genius! :toast:

[LynneSin]

29. well technically it's oven baked

but it's crispy none the less

Here's my first wine secret. Indaba makes great and very inexpensive White Wines - they're from South Africa

[bicentennial_baby]

30. I'll keep an eye out for it, thanks!

:hi:

[MissMillie]

22. chicken w/ red peppers & onions in red curry over rice

brown rice

[bicentennial_baby]

24. Y'know, I don' think I've ever really had curry

:shrug:

:hi:

[MissMillie]

25. I cheat and buy and envelope sauce mix

the only thing is that the instructions call for quite a bit of sugar and I don't like it that sweet, so I cut the sugar in half.

Someday I'll be brave and try to make a sauce on my own.

[bicentennial_baby]

31. As will I!

:hi:

[Rambis]

28. Smithwicks

Then leftover curry tofu salad, tabouli and new potato's with cheese.

[bicentennial_baby]

32. Good combos!

Enjoy! :hi:

[DS1]

33. turkey or roast beef sandwich

maybe both, if i'm hungry enough after my ride

[bicentennial_baby]

34. Have a great ride! Nice weather today!

:hi:

[DS1]

35. thanks, looking forward to it

I'm taking my film camera one of these days to burn up a roll I started. The sights weaving through the forest roads and across open marches up here is something worth sharing

[buddhamama]

36. can you be here in an hour,

and bring dinner with you? it looks delicious. and it has no meat! :bounce:

i am not sure yet what i am making for dinner. it's gonna be a let down now, though. :hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

38. Awwww, I'm sure it will be wonderful!

:hug:

:loveya:

[Left Is Write]

37. That DOES look good!

I think we might go out to eat. Depending on what time Mr. LIW finishes work, we might hit the gym and then have supper out.

[bicentennial_baby]

39. Well whatever you do, have a great time!

:hi:

[eyesroll]

40. Law firm dinner.

:scared:

[bicentennial_baby]

41. Is that a bad thing?

:hug:

[eyesroll]

48. We're going to a decent restaurant but I'm not generally a fan of the business dinner.

I can fake my way through them...but it's not my idea of fun. We'll see.

[bicentennial_baby]

49. Just keep eating, let them talk

:P

:pals:

[Shakespeare]

42. Probably just a blueberry/protein smoothie.

Which is actually pretty yummy.

[bicentennial_baby]

43. Ok, I guess...

x(

:P

[Shakespeare]

46. Yeah, I know. That's pretty much how I feel about it, too.

:rofl:

Gotta keep my girlish figure, though.

Hey, Owen Wilson almost ran over me yesterday (doing my evening walk on Hollywood Blvd., and he started to take a right turn while I had the "walk" light). I'm kind of over him, otherwise I'd think it was funny. Was NOT funny last night.

[bicentennial_baby]

47. That's kinda hot...

In a way. Too bad TMZ wasn't there. :D

I'm glad you didn't get run over. :hug:

Enjoy your smoothie! :loveya:

[Shakespeare]

50. I SO wanted to walk around to the driver's side window....

....tap to get him to roll down, and say "Dude, seriously, you're adorable, but change the 'do. The shaggy surfer thing is getting REALLY old."

[bicentennial_baby]

51. Again, if only TMZ had been there...

I could have been watching you online! :rofl:

:D

[bullwinkle428]

44. MOST. DETAILED. RECIPE. PRESENTATION. EVER!

If nothing else, you've got to love the 100+ photos she included to make sure you don't miss a thing in the preparation! Woe to those with a dial-up connection...

I'll have to take a more thorough look at her site later when I'm home, just to see the other recipes as I couldn't possibly screw anything up when she lays it out as well as this. I'm not a vegetarian, but this primavera dish looks beautiful!

I'm just grilling a bacon-wrapped sirloin along with sliced eggplant - the eggplant is fantastic when it's grilled, if you've never tried it before!

[bicentennial_baby]

45. Yum! Eat well!

We're not veggies either, I just like to take a break from it here and there...Plus, the heavy whipping cream makes up for it :P

Yeah, it was a bit of a pain to write out the recipe from that page, but I managed.

Have a great dinner! :hi:

[yellowdogintexas]

52. chicken breast, leftover and a salad

the chicken breast was dipped in a dijon mustard and orange juice mixture, then rolled in
crushed wheat thins which were seasoned with minced shallots, orange zest and baked. It was lovely fresh from the oven and quite good cold on a salad.

I am having some milk and cookies in a few minutes
