I'm trying a new salad I found on Epicurious and the reviews sound pretty good. Grilled Cajun Chicken Salad w/Spicy Ranch Dressing.
And you?

Going with a "classic" of spaghetti and meatballs from a recipe I printed from another forum almost three years ago that was posted by a woman named Jean...

Oddly enough, I'd doing a Linguini with Clam Sauce by the same chef, LJ! LOL! I'm also gonna try the Black Dog Inn Quahog Chowder (read chowdah) and a Caesar Salad.

I mean planned overs tonight. We've some of a casserole from Thursday night, red beans & rice from today, and . . . I'm sure there's more, oh yes the African stir fried beef stew and sweet potato & green olive salad. Yup that's dinner.
You only live once . . . but if you do it right once should be enough!

MMMMM, MMMMMM, Good! The chowder was very good! The thing is, I think I've done better. Jean's recipe was good too, but I wound up putting the pasta in the bowl with the chowder....LOL! It just seemed to make sense. There's plenty for tomorrow, and they're calling for rain....perfect meal for a rainy day! Well, maybe with the addition of some corn bread and a cheesecake. Then it'll be perfect!

Skinny meatloaf, the mushroom sherry gravy, regular mashed potatoes (I forgot to buy caulifower), and roasted asparagus.
This is hubby's second Birthday dinner, last night was Indian Stuffed Chicken Breasts.

Meal was GREAT...rolled out home made ravioli (no pasta maker here but several different weighted rollers)for a sauce of Jean's I came across a couple of years ago and some home made meatballs "on the side" for our enjoyment.
Glad everyone had good meals tonight!
Erin a happy birthday to your husband...really hope everyone feels better for the "big day."

Erin - you're so generous to celebrate hubby's bday for days and days!
Saturday we went to visit my FIL. He suffered a major heart attack on Wednesday and had the angioplasty fix that night. Since he was in no danger, we waited until Saturday so the kids could join us for the visit. He lives about 3 hours away near Dixon, IL. We got to his house about the same time he was coming home from the hospital with the BIL who lives with him. We had a soup & sandwich late lunch.
Since we were traveling, we decided to head downtown Chicago and visit our son who lives there. We didn't get to our hotel until about 7:30. We had gotten tickets for the Second City SkyBox stage at 9. Teenage daughter was hoping to get in the act; they picked the girl sitting right in front of us instead. It was silly and a fun time. We wanted to go to Gino's for their butter crust pizza, but it was closed by the time we got there. So we settled for Giordano's stuffed deluxe pizza. We think that our local Papa Del's is better.
