Denise's Mystery Bag Dinner Review - cjs - 04-15-2009 Thanks Denise, this was a lot of fun - Roy says thank you too and he gave it a 9+! We started out with Cheese Straws that I made for Saturday's wine/cheese festival and a great bottle of wine - that was half gone by dinner.. The weather was beautiful so I completely scrapped the idea of a roasted pork dish with a hot papaya sauce and went for the grilled goodies instead. Grilled Brined Pork with Papaya-Cucumber Salsa & Grilled New Potatoes The Salsa was delicious - 1 papaya, peeled, seeded & chopped 1 poblano, roasted, seeded & chopped ~1/3 of a large red onion, chopped 2 T. lime juice 1 T. cilantro, chopped 1/2 tsp. sugar Mix all and let set a couple hours. I'll do this again. and dessert was Rhubarb Bars Not real impressed with this - it was a recipe I found somewhere. There was way too much crust and I hesitated adding orange zest to it, but I went with the recipe and wish I hadn't - orange came thru more than the rhubarb,so that recipe is in the trash. This was fun and I hope someone else surprises us with a list of goodies to do this again. Re: Denise's Mystery Bag Dinner Review - Mare749 - 04-15-2009 Very nice meal, Jean. I'll be doing mine tomorrow. Ron and the girls are going to a basketball game tonight (Go Cavs!)so can't do it tonight. Have my ideas tho! Re: Denise's Mystery Bag Dinner Review - DFen911 - 04-15-2009 That looks fantastic!!! I am so using your salsa recipe. Aren't grilled potatoes just the best. I end up eating a serving long before they make it back into the house. Haha Re: Denise's Mystery Bag Dinner Review - Harborwitch - 04-15-2009 Doing ours tonight. Last night we were still stuffed from lunch, and after breaking down the turkey and cleaning up the kitchen I was too tired to cook. Re: Denise's Mystery Bag Dinner Review - Gourmet_Mom - 04-15-2009 I should be doing mine tomorrow as well. I need to make a trip to town and hope they have the papaya. I KNOW I won't be using the rhubarb, unless they got some in stock since I was there the other day. Re: Denise's Mystery Bag Dinner Review - Mare749 - 04-15-2009 I got my supplies today. Be prepared for the price of rhubarb, Daphne. Mine was $4.99 lb. Is it that hard to grow??? Re: Denise's Mystery Bag Dinner Review - cjs - 04-15-2009 "Is it that hard to grow??? " NO! and it's like horseradish, just keeps multiplying and we have to separate plants. Re: Denise's Mystery Bag Dinner Review - iBcookin - 04-16-2009 Yup, we planted rhubarb two weekends ago. Next . . . raspberries! The rhubarb isn't quite ready around here yet, maybe another week. MMMM strawberry/rhubarb pie. Re: Denise's Mystery Bag Dinner Review - cjs - 04-16-2009 Linda, last summer I tried rhubarb and raspberry pie and we liked it better than the rhubarb/strawberry. Great flavor. Re: Denise's Mystery Bag Dinner Review - cjs - 04-16-2009 DENISE!! Where's your Mystery Bag creation?????????
