Wednesday's dinner, 4/23/14?? - cjs - 04-23-2014

What's on the menu for today?

I'm grilling some cod and making a summer salad - old one Fire-Roasted Corn Salad.

Pulled pork sandwiches. Tony smoked a pork butt on Sunday but it wasn't quite done so he finished it off in the oven last night and now it's perfect. Will stop at my favorite italian sandwich shop for the rolls. You guys know how picky I am about bread.

After last night's success with the Creamy Bacon Carbonara , I thought I'd try out another new recipe for Caprese Lasagna Roll Ups in hopes it will be a perfect showcase for my tomatoes this summer. I hope these high priced tomatoes are worth the money!

I'm making beef barley soup, 18 hour bread and pizzelles for dessert.

Trixxee, we have had the same problem when smoking a pork shoulder. They really seem to take a long time, 12 hours or more. Sure is worth the wait though.

Oh that's good to know - I didn't know if we were doing something wrong, AGAIN.

Oh gosh, I was starving when I walked in from my morning walk and just heated a little up. Oh my gosh......so good.

Well, this is a winner - the sauce for the cod is just spoon-lickin' good.

Allison is leaving for Italy this Saturday. She is coming home tonight and going back to Austin on Friday. She is getting our bag scale and one of our large bags. Plus a few other items. . Tonight we are having Chicken /spinach corn enchiladas and tomorrow she has asked for pork chops and cabbage with cornbread. We are preparing her for a pasta overdose! Hold her close while she is traveling and wish her a lifetime experience , mostly on her employer's expense. (She won the trip at work and gets to take her boss with her).

Bill, those enchiladas sound delicious! Safe travels to Allison. I hope she has a wonderful trip!!!

We had a skillet pasta dish with spinach and roasted red peppers. It was fine, but very forgettable, so we won't repeat it.

I am so friggin' envious of that kid! If I didn't love her, I'd really hate her!
