I'm not sure yet, but always enjoying hearing about everyone else's plans.

It's such a nice day here that maybe I'll do something on the grill.

1. We made a big lunch with leftovers before our beloved guests left.

Salami, cheese, bread, melon w/prosciutto, leftover fried chicken, olives, fresh tomatoes.

Almost got the fridge cleaned out!

We will start anew next week.

2. Leftovers of pasta with white clam sauce, salad and I'll probably pick some tomatoes and...

zucchini from the garden and maybe sauté them or something. Maybe I'll pull some carrots too...

3. Rotisserie lemon chicken, corn on the cob, and.... macaroni coleslaw salad.

4. Fish 'n chips

using Pacific cod. Maybe I'll keep the English theme and serve it with peas.

5. Had a simple flat quesadilla for lunch - corn tortilla, refritos, shredded cheeses, peperoncinis.

This evening it's smoked pork short ribs, assorted grilled veggies, green salad with the neighbors. I'm adding a pear, plum & nectarine compote.

6. Have you ever eaten an aprium?

I got some the other day, though they're not ripe yet.

11. Uh, no. Apricot plum cross ?

[greatauntoftriplets]

13. Yes.

I Googled them and apparently they are grown in California. Like I said, haven't tried one yet since they are hard.

14. I'm going to ask for them at the market out here. It's a 2 for 1!

Stone fruit for shipping is usually picked a bit early in CA. Travels better. They ripen well though. Enjoy!

15. They look really nice and I like both fruits a lot.

8. Kentucky Hot Browns

Peach shortcake for dessert.

9. Chinese buffet

I did so much stocking up/shopping for the weekend that I didn't have time to prepare anything.

So: sesame noodles, fried rice, General Tso's, lemon ginger chicken with vegetables, sesame chicken, and some of those bbq ribs

Everything had just put out and was very fresh, so it was pretty good for being from a supermarket buffet.

[fizzgig]

16. LOL. Back in the day when I worked at a Mandarin restaurant, once a month we would go out -

Usually at a small Vietnamese spot in Arlington - no menus, no English, but great SE Asian diner food. Two of the group spoke Vietnamese, so they ordered. And there was a range of French wines and potent "gum bai" drinks.
