WHAT'S FOR DINNER - OCTOBER 2013

I agree, Kc, the Monte Cristo DOES sound good. Gosh, it's been many years since I have had that!!!!

Honey ham, powdered sugar ... and of course the raspberry preserves. Delish.

Morning!

Didn't get to make the soup yesterday; so today it is. Happy hour with a potential catering client, so no food. Probably a beer and some nuts. So, soup will be great when I get home.

Sort of a Caribbean Soup
Leftover black beans (already flavored with garlic, lime and oj, cumin, onion, cilantro; then, freezer stashed smoked chicken, sweet potato, onions, celery, sweet and jot peppers, broth, cilantro, coriander, and allspice.
Served over my leftover Caribbean rice which is in the freezer.

It is a leftover night for sure. Fruit for dessert.

That soup sounds wonderful, Kc. It would be a good night for it here...supposed to be down to 23 degrees.

I'm going to do poached salmon, steamed baby carrots, fresh steamed asparagus and lemony avocado slices.

I'm having a bowl of Reese's peanut butter cereal before I head to work, and I'll probably pick up some kind of frozen microwave meal to eat after I get home, since I have to go to the store. I just hope I don't end up buying a ton more stuff than is on my list since I know I'll be hungry.

Wife took a couple of large chicken breasts out of the freezer yesterday. I have them marinading in garlic,brown sugar, red pepper flakes , salt, liquid smoke, smoked paprika, rosemary, cherry juice and beer. We will do these in the broiler since the wind is so high here instead of on the grill.

Interesting marinade, sounds very unique.

Tasted wonderful, we both wanted seconds but there was none left. I did brush them with BBQ sauce for the last few minutes under the broiler. No photos it was 8 o'clock by the time we ate.

Tonight was home made pizza.

Love salmon, sounds like such a nice healthy dinner. Delicious.
Soup turned out good.

Unfortunately, my catering meeting/happy hour turned in to a light dinner. Luckily, we went to the place across the street. Diner food which is good. So, I had chicken, spuds, gravy and salad. Way too much for me, so I brought 1/2 the chicken home. It was good. Soup will be tomorrow. But, I ate lunch, and didn't expect to have dinner that early. I have plenty of leftovers.

Morning ... well almost noon!

Heading to a pumpkin festival later with a friend and her kids. Should be fun. Crafts, pumpkins, food, etc ... typical festival stuff!

Dinner, soup I made yesterday. This am, I made a small tub of my Pub cheese. So, I will have cheese and crackers as well to graze on tonight.

Still 80, and breezy, AC off and loving the weather. The yard needs a little TLC, so that is on my list after laundry is done.

Don't tell anyone I have today off, or they'll make me go to work. If I really get to stay home, I'll be holding at under 80 hours for this week. ;)

I had a grand and wonderful plan for dinner. And then my incredibly inconsiderate sister invited herself and her family over at 6pm so we can give her daughter presents. Why 6pm? It's convenient for their dinner reservations. Nevermind that we are then forced to eat dinner more than an hour later than normal, and that I cannot cook while they are here (it is considered rude to cook in front of people you have no intention of feeding). I.Am.Livid. My next day off is November 7.
