Hey Grandpa, What's For Supper on 6/07?

[bjcotton]

Well, I'm thinking of a Primavers with Seared Seafood (Issue 63) for tomorrow, depending on when Paul has to leave. If he has to leave in the morning I'll probably have a sandwich, if he leaves late afternoon I'll fix the Primavera.

How about y'all?

That's funny...if I get up off my bum, I have primavera planned myself!

We're having plain ole go to h*ll hot dogs with home made buns. And FINALLY Tracie's watermelon salad that she o.d.s on on summer long!!

[bjcotton]

Hmmmmm, musta missed that one. I've got Watermelon Salsa, two Watermelon Sorbets, and a Watermelon Wine Granita. Would you post it please?

It was great! Grilled copper river salmon, ceasar salad and a baked potato. YUM! And homemade apple pie for dessert.

(My mom is visiting! )

We had the Butternut Squash salad, chix breast, pita bread with cheese and a nice bottle of Goosecross Sauv Blanc....

Grilled copper river salmon

I read last week that the copper river salmon were running. I've never tasted it and would love to get my hands on some. We had leftover country style pork ribs.

Well, the shrimp didn't thaw in time, so I scraped together some beef stroganoff and peas...primavera is on for tonight.

Lorraine, c'mon out and we'll pig out of Copper River salmon!!!

Billy, the recipe was in issue #70 - a side dish to Country Ribs with Mango Sauce, page 13.

Watermelon-Cucumber Salad with mint vinaigrette

1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 T. sugar
2 T. chopped fresh mint
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
2 cups seedless watermelon cubed
2 cups cucumber, seeded and thinly sliced into half moons
1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced

Whisk vinegar, sugar, mint, and pepper flakes together in a large bowl until sugar dissolves.

Add watermelon, cucumber, and onion, tossing to coat. Serve chilled.

Don't know how she doesn't get sick of this salad, but she just loves it. I'm anxious to try it.

I've been wanting to try that salad since I saw it - I just never have the right ingredients at the right time. If I don't the kids just gobble up the watermelon and leave nothing for me!
