Re: (...)
It is so nice to not be eating out of the freezer exclusively, for a while. Went to the grocery store day before yesterday and for $38.00 I had three big bags of groceries - almost all veggies and fruits. (in other words the periphery (sp?) of the store
) The fridge looks so good.
Tonight will be [Email]C@H's[/Email] Asparagus, Chix & Mushroom stir-fry (Issue #32, page 40) along with the Thai mango salad that I made while we were in Hawaii - that was supposed to be with papaya...
But it was so good, I'm using mangoes again. must try sometime with papaya.
So, what is everyone else up to??

I am going to make the Coconut Curry Chicken with beans from the slow cooker menus book tonight. I am lucky that my daughter brought her crockpot for me to use. I am very excited to try this one.

That sounds good, Theresa - I wish Mister liked coconut - we're having kalbi, jasmine rice, and stir fry veggies.

Most likely bar food. We're going to a Cavs game tonight downtown and leaving early so we can grab a bite and a drink before the game. First game back home, hope they aren't all burned out from being on the road.

A slight change of plans. I am just heating some leftovers tonight since it will only be hubby and I for dinner and doing the coconut curry chicken tomorrow when daughter #1 will be joining us. I promise to post a review!

A Cavs games sounds great Mare749 ~ bar type food even better ~ I'm in Cleveland too.
I think I'll make appetizer type stuff ~ Stuffed ricotta & chicken purses and ground pork friend wontons with a plum dipping sauce. Any suggestion on herbs and seasonings beyond salt & pepper to mix in with the ground pork? Will cayenne work with plum?

Yes, Cayenne works with plum - cayenne works with EVERYTHING! How about minced green onion, cilantro, ginger.
I think tonight is just macaroni and cheese. And some green beans.

" Will cayenne work with plum? " - yes!! I think cayenne goes with anything, I even add it to my chocolate desserts - especially pot de cremes. yum.
I add soy, oyster sauce, sesame oil, sherry & sugar to my pork wontons - sometimes waterchestnuts and/or ginger. You're making me hungry for them, haven't done them for a while.
