Monday Night Supper
I've been in the kitchen all afternoon and am just sitting for a spell to catch my breath... I'm having an elderly Aunt & Uncle, a cousin (who I haven't seen in years) her new hubby, and two of her teenaged nieces to supper tonight and here's what we're having:
-Shrimp-Cocktail Cheese-Ball w/ Crackers -Olives, Dill-Pickled Green Beans & Proscuitto-Wrapped Mango Slices -Sliced Flank-Steak w/ Mushroom Saute -Parsley-Boiled Red Potatoes -Crunchy Broccoli/Bacon/Cashew Salad -Sliced Garden Tomatoes - Bakery Sun-Dried Tomato Sourdough Loaf -Chocolate-Zucchini Bundt Cake w/ Ben & Jerry's Cinnamon Ice-Cream (made TWO of the one I took to Sis's for cookout last night) When I cook for family- I need to keep it simple with some variation of meat & potatoes... but as you can see, I try to do it up good with tastes they might not be completely used to- and offer a few things they likely have never tried before... for instance I doubt if Uncle Chuck has ever tasted mango, sun-dried tomatoes, or cinnamon ice-cream in his whole life- and the last time he had shrimp was pro'lly at someone's funeral! Ha! Plus- Aunt LaRue gave my Mom a chocolate-zuchini cake recipe years ago- maybe being served this will make her think we valued, appreciated and still use her recipe today- all these years later! (though admittedly- it's not her recipe!) Last edited by chubbyalaskagriz; 08-18-2008 at 05:16 PM.

Yummy Cath! Eddie's chicken sounds fantastic! Man- is there anything hotter than a guy who cooks- and WILL? Ha! Oh- maybe it's one who will ALSO do the dishes!
I had a great night with my company. Supper was a hit. The only "mistake" I made was putting cashews in the broccoli salad. Shoulda used smaller pecans or walnuts as the large cashews appeared to be problematic for Aunt LaRue's dentures! It was great to see them all- I hadn't seen my cousin Patty in pro'lly 15 years!

We had cheeseburgers topped with grilled baby portabella mushrooms and some nice sharp cheddar. I roasted some tomatoes and garlic which I tossed with pasta and parm cheese. Topped with fresh basil. Made a nice side dish.
Everyone elses meals sound so yummy. I have had the munchies all day and this thread has only made it worse lol.

Dang janie... I ain't had a good cheeseburger in a stretch... your pasta sounds yummy too- and I rarely crave pasta! Your post will inspire me to go pick up some ground beef today and rustle-up a couple! Also- the post on meatloaf earlier yesterday also have me hankerin' for it! Maybe I'll get a big pkg. of hamburger and make a meatoaf later in the week too. YUM!

Well, it's 5:30AM and I just woke up... Neither cat was at the foot of my bed like they usually are- so I thought that was WEIRD. I got up, mosied into the hallway and living room. Nope. Bathroom/laundry room? Nope. Went into the pantry where I keep their food & water dishes- Nope. Kitchen. Nope. Dining Room? Well I'll be damned! Had some relatives over for supper last night and used a cotton table-cloth. It looked nice and was still clean so I decided to leave it on the table. Discovered the cloth wadded-up in a ball on the floor under the table- definitely not how I left it! Bent down to pick it up and both cats were wadded-up inside it, twisted up & entwined with each other, looking like a pretzel! I let go of both corners of the tablecloth- hell, they worked that hard to get themselves wound-up inside their little "sleeping bag"... might as well let them enjoy it a while! Hee-Hee! L'il sh#ts!
