What's Cooking Today?
Fourth of July question, but anyone can chime in with tonight's dinner menu.
Despite the wild partying going on at our crazy neighbor's, who choose every opportunity to have a pool party with loud, obnoxious music, which keeps *our* outside activities to a minimum... we're breaking out the BBQ grill (propane - we have about 4 full tanks of propane set aside for hurricane aftermaths, so we figured we'll do the special rather than the ordinary for us). Ben is going to boil spare ribs in crab boil until they're tender and then put them on the grill (unfortunately we'll be using bottled BBQ sauce, not home made - I just don't have the energy to contribute to the meal today). Everything else will be done on the side burners. Macaroni and cheese - the "Deluxe" package - again, I'm not able to cook the good home-made baked macaroni, unfortunately. We have the makings for a really nice salad... Romaine lettuce, fresh mushrooms, pitted olives with pimento, cucumber, avocado, fresh garden tomatoes and bacon bits - topped with bleu cheese dressing. We'll also have fresh corn on the cob - steamed to perfection (I don't like corn wrapped in tinfoil and done on the BBQ.

My daughter and son-in-law invited my son and me to a barbecue at their house, so I'll eat whatever they fix. When they have a barbecue, it could be hamburgers, and maybe hot dogs, or it could be shish kebab. My daughter picks up a couple of salads at a nearby deli. The rest of the menu varies. Joy |

What's everyone else having? CatNipped Strolling with NFL pals two blocks to the monster municipality fireworks extravaganza tonight (last night watched MileHigh's downtown on tv at home - a patriotic concert with professional coordinating big bucks pyrotechnics and lighted buildings - but tonight's will be canned music and a great deal of my 'burb's budget is blown on major detonation supplies, IOW what I love: extended Grand Finale that rocks my condo complex's walls (Snaggly is so laid back, he snores through the whole thing) and leaves us strolling home from the blasts stinking of the smoke and ashes...but not clothes- singed, LOL. We will LOL be eating *vendor* junk food there, no gourmet treats but hey, it's only once a year. Weather here is days hot as hell (yay) nights just right for fireworks, little cooler. We used to go downtown MileHigh before they put it on tv but can't handle the congestion mess (narrow, one-way streets) and parking hassles in MileHigh. From the aerial views last night, looks like they did have their 20,000 attendance there live. |

What's everyone else having? -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped I hauled my trusty Weber kettle (charcoal) grill out of the garage and hosed it off. It hasn't been used since I moved. I'll be grilling bacon-wrapped filets and summer squash - both yellow and zucchini. Cut off the stem ends, slice it down the middle, brush with olive oil and add S&P. Simple and delicious! I do so wish I could eat corn on the cob! That's one of the things I really miss. But truly, the best way to grill it is NOT wrapped in foil. Strip back the husks, remove the cornsilk, brush with butter, then wrap it back up and grill it, turning occasionally, until the husks actually blacken. Of course I don't know if this would work on a gas grill. Nothing tastes "grilled" to me unless it's done over hardwood lump charcoal. Jill |
