We have the first show in our Broadway Series tonight, "Million Dollar Quartet" so won't be cooking. We'll head downtown early for drinks and apps before the show. I'm really excited about this. We usually go to a couple shows a year, but this is the first time we've had a subscription.
This was a surprise gift from Ron so even better!

Tonight my wife takes control of the kitchen, she's making saffron chicken tagine with a side of pineapple rice.

I know I'm gonna grill. Been sick the last 2 weeks and today is the first day I feel like cooking.
Blane, I would love the recipe for the chicken tagine!

I have no idea. William has made soup at the camp, so we'll probably have that leftover. Unless, I get inspired between now and then.
