Grilled shrimp, corn on the cob and steamer veggies (healthy vision variety, I think).

We had stuffed pork chops with cream gravy last night. Tonight will probably be something simple, like pizza.

DH is sick, so I made home-made chicken/vegetable soup. Creamsicles for dessert.

Ooooh, sounds terrific Teach. I've never made homemade spaghetti sauce.

We switched up and had brats n beans last night. We're having pizza during football and then leftover bierocks that I froze last week for dinner.

Every couple of weeks, there is this guy who parks his "award winning" custom smoker in the grocery store parking lot. Today we have decided to his stuff a try. Some baby back ribs and beans.

What in the hell is wrong with guys? You can tell them repeatedly to let the pizza cool, it will even burn your hand, and they will STILL shove it in their mouths before it's cooled.

Colossus is sitting across from me right now with a scalded tongue and lip, after trying to act like it wasn't too hot and then finally squawking as he spit it out.

I am laughing to hard to type.

Grilling a London Broil and some sweet Italian sausages. I've got fresh green beans from the garden and a nice fresh garlic bread.

LOL @ GAL (and a teeny bit @ Colossus)...They never learn, do they?

Spaghetti sauce is SOOOO easy. In a food processor, chop up fresh basil, fresh oregano, garlic and onion. Saute the garlic and onion in olive oil until transparent (or brown). Add the herbs and wilt them. Meanwhile, in a blender, blend up tomatoes (skins, seeds and all) - romas are best.

Add tomato juice to onion mixture. Then dump in some red wine (we prefer Merlot), some kosher salt, some thyme, some parsley, some pepper and a couple tablespoons of brown sugar. Bring it all to a boil and then let it reduce on the simmer stage for about 4 hours.

Tonights dinner was tacos de carne asada and fresh peach cobbler w/vanilla ice cream.

And I thought I was doing gourmet when my spaghetti sauce came out of a jar instead of a can. LOL

That's what's so funny, Christy. We did the jar sauce for years, but when I found out I can make 3 quarts of my own sauce for under $5 and it takes all of about 30 minutes to get it in a pot, well - we haven't done jars in years. When it's not tomato season (or when I've run out of my freezer sauce), I'll use canned diced tomatoes or canned tomato sauce, but the herbs and seasonings have to be my own. :-) (Spoiled a bit, I must admit.)

I went to a Chinese restaurant for lunch today, but I have to put this under the dinner thread. I got an egg roll to start things off. It arrived very hot. I cut it in half. Steam poured out of it. It was so hot I could barely hold onto it. I dipped it in the mustard and prepared to take a bite. lol GAL's story popped into my head. I put the egg roll down and waited for the scalding oil to cool. Thank you Colossus.

Pork tenderloin in BBQ sauce, au gratin potatoes, green bean casserole, and johnny cakes. I'm so glad I finally have a TV in the kitchen since I spend so much time there.

We had thick cut country style pork steaks marinated in onion, lemon juice and barbecue sauce baked covered in the oven until fork tender, no-yolk egg noodles lightly stirred with cheese sauce, and a medley of fresh steamed broccoli, carrots and cauliflower.
