What's for Saturday's Dinner, 3/8/13?? - cjs - 03-09-2013 What's on the menu for today for everyone? (seems like a long time since I've typed that... ) Our saga of ridiculousness continued into the night! Just pouring out (but that's really o.k., I've gotten enough sun to recharge my batteries for a while) and driving around a town we're not familiar with, found out Mesa's Cafe Bao has closed!!! The Cafe Bao that I called to make reservations is in Tempe!! Thank God for cell phones and iPads (that work!!) - called and cancelled the reservations and started searching for restaurants near where we were and came up with Blue Adobe Grille. http://www.originalblueadobe.com/menu.html And, what a find it was!! What a great place, the entire waitstaff was just so up and helpful and funny. the food was delicious. The day had gone so upside down for us, we both would have been happy to just drink the whole bottle of Layer Cake Primitivo (Zin), but we both ordered appies and a salad. Anyone still with me here? I know I'm rambling.... We both had Carne Adovada. What it was was a hunk of lettuce with mounds of (fantastic) pico de gallo, Jack/Cheddar cheese, beef or chicken, & sour cream. Just peel off a leaf of lettuce and fill with the goodies and top with the (also fantastic) black been dip which they had served when we arrived. Not a pretty presentation, but oh my what a great way to serve lettuce wraps. I'll certainly do this again. Like for dinner today - there was so much left. O.K., I'm done - that's what we're having.

No idea what will be dinner tonight. We're going out shopping, so may just have something out. Now I'm going to have Jean's dinner stuck in my head all day. Re: What's for Saturday's Dinner, 3/8/13?? - BarbaraS - 03-09-2013 That looks really tasty Jean! We're going to do filets en croute. Hubby's fave. Barbara Re: What's for Saturday's Dinner, 3/8/13?? - Gourmet_Mom - 03-09-2013 What a cool way to present! I'll be stealing that! Tonight will be the ribs, corn on the cob, and salad that did not happen last night. Re: What's for Saturday's Dinner, 3/8/13?? - cjs - 03-09-2013 I just love the presentation, too! And nice for two people to share a fast dinner, that's for sure. Re: What's for Saturday's Dinner, 3/8/13?? - Old Bay - 03-09-2013 Looks delicious Jean!! We are doing a tortilla crusted halibut with an avacado/tomatillo salsa. Re: What's for Saturday's Dinner, 3/8/13?? - Trixxee - 03-09-2013 I could eat that whole plate right now Jean! I think we are having chicken with almond butter sauce, yellow rice and carrots. Re: What's for Saturday's Dinner, 3/8/13?? - Gourmet_Mom - 03-10-2013 Believe it or not, Jean, I'm pretty sure the restaurant you hoped to visit was on Mystery Dinners tonight on FN! They had a problem with service. Weird! Re: What's for Saturday's Dinner, 3/8/13?? - cjs - 03-10-2013 Really, Daphne?? I'll have to look thru some of the shows and see. It was certainly impeccable when we were there!!
