I still say I'd like to be able to travel through cyber space so I could stop at each of your places to at least get a nibble of your evening meals. I had leftover pork/kraut/potatoes. For 'dessert', I had a Russell Stovers sugarfree caramel. Shirley

Your dinners sound great!! Rhizo, barbecuing and fishing??? Wow. Carol, we bought a turkey on sale, because your T-Giving made me want a roast turkey. I'm planning to make a turkey pot pie; using biscuits as a topping vs a pie crust. A de-constructed one sounds good :-) Walnutcreek (good to SEE you!). Breakfast for dinner is a hit with many people! We like it. Shirley, burger and soup, nice healthy meal OF, greasy burger and fries, not as healthy as Shirley's ;-) but ultimate diner food. Ellen we love pasta, and made a great meat sauce on the weekend. Deeby, your potato salad sounds good, for the summer. It's easy to see you're in CA. LOL GM, I love quiche. Hubby won't eat eggs if they're hot (loves egg salad and deviled), so I seldom make it. I just have to do it and freeze it.

Jim congratulations on your upcoming cruise! I love it that you had wine with bacon and eggs. Audrey, your dinner looks and sounds fabulous. We had baked potatoes last nite. Shirley, I've yet to make red beans and rice. What's throwing me off from making it, much as I'd like to, is that we only have kidney beans, as far as a red bean, and I know that isn't the kind to use. I made quinoa with toasted almonds and red currants the other day. We like quinoa. Kath, for some reason companies change their recipes. In the event of making things healthier, taste gets compromised. Less fat and salt is less flavour it seems. Prairie Rose, do you make the light fluffy dumplings? That's what my Nan made and that's all I've ever known. I've never attempted it; I should! Raven, that looks divine!! We love roasted vegetables! Erin, I hope you feel better. That's dedication, coming onto a dinner thread when you're not feeling that great. Betsy, that's nice comfort food. Gyr_Falcon, that's a great sounding meal! Glad to see you here.

The weather here today was similar to yours, jasdip. We decided to go to the famous local seasonal 'dive' which opened for the season yesterday... a family business since 1938, I think. It's just a little shack with minimal cooking facilities (bbq sandwiches, hamburgs, hotdogs, fries) where you stand outdoors in line to order. They also have an ice cream side, but it's not open yet. You can do take-out or eat outdoors on picnic tables. It's near a busy intersection so always noisy, but the food is good and super cheap, so it's always busy. Totally tacky and totally fun. You'll see everything from tattooed grandmas on motorcycles to vice presidents in suits all standing in that line together, and today the lines were the longest I've ever seen! I chose a pork sandwich w/ bbq sauce, dill pickles, hot relish on the side (they make their own and it's really good) and fries. Totally happy here. :O)
