We had steak sandwiches tonight and my husband cooked. The meat was a bit tough. (I won't tell him!) I like to slice the steak really thin when I make them.

Mame, in the slow cooker, it's a day-long thing. Who posted a great recipe for slow cooker roast.

NY Strip steaks cooked perfectly, frijoles charros and a coleslaw that left a bit to be desired (Used Chinese cabbage, apple cider vinegar/sugar dressing and some ramen noodles & sunflower seeds - sounded good, wasn't horrible, but definitely not worth putting the leftovers in the fridge)

My son is doing the grilling tonight for Father's Day. He's doing some oysters, scallops and some steak kebobs.

Had the family over and had baby back ribs, potato salad, macaroni salad and red cabbage (a recipe that I got from the food network the Neeley's..so good)and pineapple pudding cake and now everyone is gone and I am so full I can't move.

Teach, try doing the same coleslaw using rice vinegar, soy sauce and a bit of sesame oil. It's one of our favourites, and the beauty is you can do it raw, or sauté the whole thing.

No idea what's for dinner tonight. All I know is that I'm craving both perogies AND Yorkshire pudding, so... I'm guessing we're either having sausage, or pot roast.

Karen - will do, but the big question is - how on earth do you keep the ramen noodles from getting soggy 15 minutes after making it? There's no way our little family can eat an entire batch of coleslaw, and even by the end of dinner the noodles were getting limp (I'd only used 1/2 C of vinegar for a 5 quart bowl of cabbage so it wasn't a "soggy" coleslaw at all).

Fresh tamales!! Pork and some chicken/jalapeno combo that was Delicous with some HOT tomatillo sauce. :-) Oooo..AND we got a fabulous 8-grain bread baked in a wood-fired brick oven from our CSA this week, so I "had" to try a slice of that too! TOTALLY yummy.

Used our farm-fresh eggs, fresh herbs, chorizo, and a bunch of veggies to make a frittata tonight. With the cooler weather today, it was nice to be able to have a cup of coffee w/dinner. :-)

That sounds terrific, Teach. I'm always looking for ways to use chorizo (Colossus is a fiend for it).

We had pork steaks baked in onion, apple, raisins, clove and ground mustard. Fresh green beans cooked with ham and potatoes on the side. Very tasty.

We don't have chickens, but we have friends with chickens and our CSA has them, too...all the advantages, none of the mess - for just a couple bucks!

The chorizo was yummy, GAL. I got the "hot" kind that has to be cooked without casings. With 2 links and 8 eggs, it was just the right amount of spice - nothing else was needed - although it was a bit difficult to taste the rosemary. :-)

Donners is taking me out for dinner tonight to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary. It's also Canada Day here, so we'll be enjoying fireworks after dinner. :-)

Grilled chicken, salad, and swiss chard (first time w/this particular green - making it w/bacon, red onion and a serrano chile vinaigrette).

So last night was a gluttonous calorie fest. A loaf of sourdough with whipped garlic butter, ceasar salad, mushroom caps stuffed with crab and cream cheese, sirloin steak "crusted" with lobster and sundried tomatoes, twice baked potato with bacon and cheese, two virgin mojitos, and a slice of key lime cheesecake. I've asked Don to buy me a shirt that says, "The baby made me eat it".

Tonight: a huge plate of salad, lol.

Cooked a can of Bush's new Grillin' Beans / Texas Fiesta Black Beans with cut up s/b chicken breast overnight in the crock pot. Should be good?!

Not a clue what we are going to have for dinner tonight. Probably some takeout. I am tired.
