Daphne that used to be one of our favorite "emergency" dinners. Now we try to keep at least 3 or 4 nights worth (a month) of emergency dinners in the freezer with my work schedule. I have heard that we are going to start shortening up our hours! YEA!
Karyn those sound intriguing, and how fun to cook with neighbors. I miss Bruno's Island and all the fun we had with our friends, cooking and drinking wine!

Last night's dinner was the result of the Farmers' Market Saturday. We had a HUGE fat tomato that needed to be used so cheeseburgers with big fat tomato slices and a cucumber and onion salad.
The cheese was a "Russian Gold", a semi hard cheese from Latvia - OMG! We are blessed to have a European deli/grocery in town and went there yesterday to get my bulk tea. We left with 1 1/4 lbs of the cheese, a big fat Kielbasa made in the Ukrainian style (haven't eaten that yet), another bag of their made in Europe awesome macaroni, some pretzels from Eastern Europe, and some Ukrainian style cookies. It's interesting - they use a lot less salt and sugar than we do. There are so many things we want to try . . . we have a jar of "Greek Salad" we got last time, cucumbers and all sorts of veggies - intended for a tapas style dinner, and, alas forgotten/saved for another dinner.
