We got our first CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) box today, so we went hog wild on the veggies! Since it was a hotter than hell day, a salad was exactly what was needed. From our box we had mixed greens, head lettuce, spinach, and radishes to which I added a cuke, carrots, red pepper, red onion and feta. Then we took fresh asparagus, chopped it up with some of the CSA scallions and chives and topped it off with my first ever, home-cooked pak choi - in olive oil, salt, pepper, ginger and a bit of soy sauce.

I also spent an hour tonight making Lime Soup (Sopa de Lima del Yucatan) for my Spanish class tomorrow. How anyone will want to eat soup when it's a gazillion degrees in the classroom is beyond me, but it's the first block class - so that will be the coolest it will be all day. The kids have been after me to make it since I described it during the food chapter, so our party is tomorrow.

Tomorrow night - I'm NOT cooking! LOL

Chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and cream gravy and I could NOT be more excited about it (unless my mom was making it for me).

Tuna patties (like salmon patties only I like to use tuna sometime), mac & stewed tomatoes, brussel sprouts, apple sauce or jello for desert.

Making some tilapia, not sure how I'm cooking it yet or what's going to be my sides. I'm not in a real cooking mood. I think it's the rain.

Hubby has never liked ribs so I never cooked them much, therefore lived in fear of them, lol. Someone gave me some pork ribs though so after staring at them a few weeks I said enough and today put them in a low and slow oven for about 8 hours then mixed a honey BBQ sauce with the juices and cooked another hour. They were delicious! I also made scalloped potatos, mac & cheese, corn, and garlic bread.

How about that, another fear conqured and it only took me 50 years.

Congratulations, Southern_grits, sounds like a real treat. 8 hours of slow cooking is the key with ribs. Spice rub and some applewood bacon - yum!!

I made roasted salmon stuffed with ricotta, asiago and spinach. A bit of Dijon mustard, trussed them up and rubbed with olive oil, oregano and dill. 20 minutes at 450 degrees and they came out perfectly. Nice light dinner with a California blend on the side.

DH grilled pork chops that I picked up this afternoon at the local butcher shop. We have the best meat processor in the town where my kids attend school. They will butcher your own cattle or deer that you've hunted, or you can walk in and buy their meat. Delicious, and reasonably priced, too.

DH grilled some oysters and sausage for appetizers and then burgers for dinner. I didn't partake of the oysters and sausage but the men sure seemed to be enjoying themselves.

At my FIL's (he had knee surgery) so we're grilling asparagus brats and I made a coleslaw w/the sugar/vinegar dressing. I also made lasagna and cheesey potatoes for FIL so he can eat something other than PB&J this week! LOL

My husband is barbecuing ham with his family's rosy ham sauce recipe. He's also grilling some shrimp and asparagus. I'm making some cheese tortellini and garlic bread. Mom's bringing her potato salad. We've got a nice, juicy watermelon and my daughter is baking mixed berry pie. I think we will be happy and stuffed tonight.

Went to the folks - grilled asparagus brats, chicken/mushroom/swiss brats, ribs and beer-can chicken and added cheesy potatoes, freezer coleslaw and fruit salad to the mix - oh, and the wonderful SIL make a huge chocolate chip cookie for dessert! We won't be eating again for 48 hours! LOL
