Korean beef and rice and probably broccoli.
Thanks Jean! Geeze . . . I was so proud of myself for being on time and the first. I deleted it. SMH? I guess I couldn't keep my mouth shut!
Tonight is another new recipe Quick Cauliflower Coconut Stew. Depending on how the day goes (PT this morning) I will make Corriander Cilantro Naan to go with it. In discussion with the couple who made this last night she gave me a bunch of tips and I'm going to incorporate them. Wish I had fresh turmeric! darn, is it worth a trip into town? We also need to get our bacon out of it's cure to form a pellicle (beef and pork), and I need to make a ton of lemon curd. Busy day today.
You only live once . . . but if you do it right once should be enough!

I have some nice thick pork chops marinating to go on the grill later. This is a nice day for grilling so planning meals around the weather report this week. Garlicky spinach for a side and maybe a baked potato.

William let me go back to the "new" Chinese place again today. We both got what we had last time. I'm not sure I even posted before? He had the Hot and Spicy Beef. It came with a generous portion of fried rice. I got the Beef and Veggie Mei Fun (sp?). Both entrees also came with soup or egg roll. We both got soup: Hot and Sour for him and Wonton for me. Needless to say, dinner was snacks and wine.

Daphne that sounds so good. I think Hot & Sour soup is my fave!
Alas, cut into my ginger (in the fracking foodsaver bag!) and got a goooey mess. Left overs from the review dinner. D@mn!

Sharon, I never seem to have good luck with saving ginger so I started freezing it. While it's nice and fresh, I take a spoon and peel off the outer skin, then grate the ginger on a fine grater. I throw out the skin and all the stringy stuff. When I'm done, I put a tablespoonful in plastic ice trays, press it down, then freeze. After that, I just pop them out and wrap each one in a little bit of plastic wrap. Then, all the little cubes go into a Ziploc bag or a storage container to go into the freezer. It doesn't take long to thaw and works pretty well IMHO.

I've not tried the freezing of ginger. I keep mine submerged in sherry in the fridge.
