What's for Dinner? - Page 52

Morrigoon · 07-22-2009, 10:25 PM

Dinner was great. My brother manned the BBQ, grilling up a tri-tip and some huge shrimp (apparently Costco's got great shrimp right now) on skewers. I steamed up a couple artichokes and served with lemon-garlic mayo (really wanted curry, but my dad & his wife don't like curry, so none in the house). Stepmom took the home-grown tomatoes and cucumber I brought up (courtesy of Alex's dad), sliced them up, poured some olive oil over the top with dill, salt & pepper. Had some french olives (pichoulines, and I forget what the small black ones were). And corn on the cob.
I'd made a fruit salad (similar to last time only blueberries, no mint). My brother had brought some homemade biscuits with him, so we ended up serving the biscuits shortcake style with the fruit salad and vanilla ice cream.

Oh, he also made his own Sangria. It was delightful.

Attempting Tortilla Soup in a slow cooker today.....Chicken is being roasted now.

Grilling tri tip steak that was marinated in some teryaki sauce, a little mustard, and lot's of pepper.

We'll have some grilled corn on the cob and steamed broccoli and some of those Hawaiian rolls that are so soft and squishy. Normally I prefer something more crusty but I like the sweetness on occasion.

We had Famous Dave's- Rose had the bbq chicken, and I had the Devil's Spit burger.

El Pollo Loco.

the tri tip was great - but a bit over cooked. Still fabulous though. I need more charcoal grill experience. Used to gas.

Since I work tonight....homemade tacos for lunch! A Wolfpack favorite!

We're having tacos for dinner. It's a taco sort of day I suppose. But then Wednesday will be a taco day again assuming there are leftovers.

Mmmmm, tacos. Got everything at home but avocados to build some tonight.

I'm going to plant an avocado in the yard of the house we buy. Avocados are just too yummy and too expensive. Guacamole. yum.
