Fried asparagus sounds yummy! It is DH night to cook and I am hoping for fajitas. But anything he grills is good.

Today is hubby and my 32nd anniversary. My son took us to Ponderosa. It's been a long time since we've been there and I'd forgotten how good our local store is. My Ribeye was literally melt-in-your-mouth good. Hubby said his T=bone was too. GS had chicken fingers and DS had the Cheeseburger. I had salad and strawberry 'fluff' and peach cobbler for dessert. I am stuffed.

tonight was a mish mash of the last few days leftovers. Now I get to go to the store tomorrow and start over. I think I saw that the seasonal sockeye salmon is starting to arrive. Goody! I can stock up for the summer.

My husband is grilling a pork tenderloin. My mom made some pork fried rice and sweet and sour meatballs. All I need to do is steam some green beans.

Must be the day to get married - it's our anniversary, too (21 years) and I work with two other couples who also have today as their anniversary.

We did asparagus pesto pasta tonight - not nearly as good as I'd hoped. Not enough flavor, so we added more salt and some siracha sauce.

Salad with spicy-grilled boneless chicken thighs .. and some mediocre snickerdoodles made from one of those "tubs" of dough you get from school fundraisers.

Made a braided chicken pastry for an early dinner - take a couple of cans of crescent dough or puff pastry and roll out into a large rectangle. Mix together 2 cups of chopped, cooked chicken; 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese; 1 cup of broccoli florets; 1/2 cup of red and yellow chopped peppers; 1 teaspoon dill weed; 1 chopped garlic clove; 1/2 cup of mayonnaise and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Spread this mixture down the center of the dough. Cut 8 strips down each side of the dough, and then fold them over the top in a braided fashion. Wash the top with 1 beaten egg white, and sprinkle with slivered almonds. Bake at 375 for 20 minutes. Beautiful and tasty. Colossus had fun helping roll out the dough and braiding.

Too cute - thanks, everyone. :-)

GAL - is that the recipe they demo at the Pampered Chef parties? Seems like this was what they put on the cookie stone.

I've got skirt steak marinating and will be making up some homemade corn tortillas for a tacos carne asada tonight.

Teach - I've never been to a Pampered Chef party, so I dunno. I found the recipe at Cooks.com I think.

Your dinner sounds great.

Since DH went to his dad's to watch Soccer and snarf pizza with his bro's, I'm home having a reheated BK Whopper. Blech.

My husband is grilling a London Broil that have marinating in a brown sugar and bourbon sauce. He's also going to grill some jalapeno sausages. I'm going to make some wild rice and brussel sprouts to go with.

We added 3 spears of fresh asparagus, a roasted jalapeno and a roasted serrano pepper (all three diced up) to the carne for those tacos tonight. DELICIOUS! :-)

Teach, I've never even thought of putting some asparagus in a taco, sounds yummy!

I've been wanting to try my hand at fish tacos. Has anyone made them?

We got the idea from the "taco bus" - our local Taqueria that makes to die for tacos.

Actually, I have made fish tacos. Easiest thing in the world is to buy tortilla crusted tilapia, pop it in the oven - meanwhile mix up a bag of slaw mix w/a bit of cilantro, red onion, lime juice, olive oil, cream or creme fraiche, one tsp - one tb chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, and cumin. I made homemade flour tortillas, then we filled them with the pieces of tilapia, topped with the slaw. Yummy!

Thanks holly. Mame, Mamie, and Mapl for the happy anniversaries! I've been married so long I barely remember what it's like to not be married. But then, I was only 18 when I married.

I'm hungry for another ribeye, the one the other night was so good. But we're having burgers, fried taters, and a veggie tonight, probably carrots. Probably do a baked potato for me.

Dh and I "pieced" for dinner. Is that a term you guys have heard? I just threw some things from the fridge together and didn't plan an elaborate meal. DD wanted grilled cheese, so I used Texas toast to make her one, then split one with the hubby. He and I also had macaroni salad, cottage cheese, and spinach dip on Townhouse crackers. Son didn't eat with us because he was zipping around the farm on his four-wheeler with his friends; didn't tell us till later that he wrecked it!
