What's on your menu?
I'm pulling a leftover out of the freezer, don't know which one yet. So, nothing exciting.

Pasta with pesto!
Re: Tuesday Dinner, June 15th? - Gourmet_Mom - 06-15-2010
Denise, I wish I was closer. I just went out on the deck to pinch the tops off my Basil plants. They're going crazy this summer. Time to make pesto again. I'm going to make this batch a double and freeze it all. I figure I'll be really glad this winter.
Tonight we're having another Cookbook Challenge dinner. Last night was AWESOME! So I have high hopes for this one. I do have one little concern, though. I don't have Shiso leaves, but the recipe said you could sub tarragon. So any advice on this would be appreciated. The recipe is titled Skirt Steak with Shiso-Shallot Butter...now say that three times really fast....heck I can't get it out once without messing it up. I had planned on making the Asian Noodle Salad, a C@H recipe, but I think I'm just going to wing a stir fry with my LOVELY stir fry sauce made with Jean's Asian Sweet Chili Sauce....YUM!...and probably some rice.

Oh, Denise, I was just thinking pasta with pesto would taste sooo good. Tonight we are meeting an old coworker of hubby's at a local microbrew for dinner. I might try their beer infused chili. Looking forward to getting out.

Daphne, when I don't have shiso, I sub a little of mint and basil - it is also called Japanese basil.
Re: Tuesday Dinner, June 15th? - Gourmet_Mom - 06-15-2010
Well, the basil I've got. Since I don't have the mint, I think I'll try a little basil and tarragon, maybe? Especially since the recipe itself suggests the tarragon as a sub. It calls for 1 T of tarragon in place of 14 shiso leaves. We like the flavor of tarragon pretty much. I just have to be careful not to use too much. I think I'll check Culinary Artistry, too.

My basil Died.
Too cold. it was 49 degrees at 10:30 this morning. Will we ever have a summer?I think it will be soup in the crock pot. Only two more days of school. I am ready to be done!

Hamburgers, but I'm not at liberty to say any more, lest the recipes be deemed "previously published" according to the rules of the Sutter Home Winery Build a Better Burger contest.
Any of you thinking of entering? The deadline is July 31.

No burger building here... I've got a big mess of pea pods from the garden, so we will be having stir fry tonight. Working out of the freezer, pantry & garden this week. Out of town next week.
