1. So, it looks like we aren't going anywhere today. Hmmmm…...

I'm kind of in the mood for some slop. I have some tuna in a can, a couple of potatoes, and the ends of a few cheeses (including blue). I was thinking of trying to do some kind of slop with these things on the grill. Maybe put a can of creamed soup in the whole thing?

I can also grill up the last of the veggies - green pepper, cabbage, onion, radishes, garlic.

Any other suggestions would be most welcome.

2. Spicy tuna rolls

I haven't prepared sushi in years. It took me an hour just to find my sushi mat and rice paddle!

Anyway, I have some great quality tuna (which is rare in the high desert). So, I'm treating myself tonight.

4. Excellent!!

We are fortunate to have access to fresh tuna frequently.

We generally don't even bother with the rice and wrapping.



Enjoy.

10. Rolls are made

and sitting in the fridge. I even saved 1/2 the tuna for sushimi to go along with the rolls. Too bad no one sells real wasabi around here. I'm stuck with the fake stuff in a tube.

The sushi rice came out perfect. All I have to do is to slice up the whole rolls for when I'm ready to eat. Since all the work (and cleaning) is done, looks like that unopened bottle of wine will be calling my name in a few hours!

12. Wish I were there to share it with you!

I kind of like the wasabi in the tube.

Enjoy yourself.

3. A rerun of last night.

Chicken, rice and the last of my multi-colored carrots.

5. Since you seem to be a master of the au gratin potato,

do you have any suggestions for me based on my post up above?

[greatauntoftriplets]

6. Do you think that I actually measure stuff except in baking?

Um, depends on the kind of cheese you have. Can't talk about blue cheese since it's way too strong for me. For au gratin potatoes, I use Swiss/Gruyere, cream or milk, and butter, heat it up in a pan until it's nicely blended, then add to the potatoes in a baking dish. 350 for an hour seems to work. Not sure what to advise on a grill, though.

7. So, i should probably make the sauce first, then put in a fireproof container

and cover with foil.

That should work.

Do you ever put tuna in it?

[greatauntoftriplets]

8. That should work, but again I've only done it on a stove.

No tuna. I don't eat fish. Yuck.

9. Thanks, I'm going to give it a try.

I have some blue, but I also have a hefty chunk of Oaxacan string cheese generally used for quesadillas. It melts well.

We shall see.

11. Good luck with it.

I hope that it works.

15. This came out really, really great.

DH is scraping the brown bits out of the pan as we speak.

16. Happy to hear that!

I'd have felt badly if it hadn't.

[cbayer]

17. Thanks for all your help.

Highly recommended.

19. You're very welcome.

Haven't made them in a while, guess I should one of these days.

18. We fixed a Brocoli, alfredo sauce cheese, egg noodles, mushroom, sweet italian sausage dish tonight.

Topped it off with hot apple pie.
Well deserved after a hectic, non stop day today.
Hopefully, we can get a calm, quiet night to recharge our internal batteries.

20. I had beef with broccoli over rice

Just browned chuck with some onion and broccoli thrown in there with carrots and some soy sauce then served over rice. It was kind of simple, but it turned out pretty good for a healthy, not too labor intensive stir fry.

EDIT: Looking at the thread, was this broccoli night or what LOL ?

21. Cauliflower mac 'n cheese and a salad. nt
