Related: About this forumWhat's for Dinner, Sat., Feb. 9, 2019
We are having a dinner party this afternoon with friends who just got back from 2 weeks in Israel. We hope to hear about the trip today.
Here's what I see the RG preparing in the kitchen:
Lamb chops (the lollipop style)
Pasta con mortadella e pistacchi
and one other pasta dish with tomato sauce
I see a stack of brioche bread; not sure what that's being used for.
Baby arugula.
Zucchini, sliced, in olive oil.
Asparagus.
I don't see any dessert, but then our guest likes to make dessert so maybe she will bring something.

There's a LOT of soup. Some for the freezer and some to bring to my folks when I go there on Monday.

(17,483 posts)I'm foraging again. TJ is off to work the night shift at the hospital medical labs.
It's all leftovers.
Chicken Leg baked with a hot sauce coating
Baked Potato
Collard greens
Ginger Snaps and Earl Grey tea
----------------------
FLFC has turned his nose up at all offered. I don't know what he and TJ might have eaten earlier. He's telling me he's hungry, but I suspect it is for a peanut butter bacon flavored treat. A different kind of hunger, but very compelling (for him).
My son is visiting for the weekend and he wanted to go to a NY steakhouse for dinner. We were too tired to take him out but we had some fantastic NY strip steaks in the freezer and I broiled them to a perfect rare/medium rare.
The Landlady(!) is an expert fryer and made sweet potato fries. We had just enough asparagus left so that got steamed. As a refresher, I made a Caesar salad including the anchovies, (yum!).
Strawberry fruit pops for dessert. Then we stayed up too late listening to music and talking. Fun times!
