Going to TX next week to see my brother. He's been in Colorado for a couple of months Has fresh, flash frozen rainbow trout on hand. Planning a fish fry with the Texas branch of the family one night.
Fig Newtons look like the finish... 
or is it a side dish?

A little on the chilly side on the High Desert today. A stew seems in order.
we went up to one of the ski towns and plan on walking around downtown until something grabs us. will update later.
Have a great time!
Brussels sprouts and a rice/wild rice mix.
mango chutney .
well, I know how hot it can be on the boat because you posted about it last year, so even though it is sad to leave your friends/house for awhile, it will be the best and most comfortable away to enjoy the months ahead. Also, I recall how much you enjoyed the house in Italy--with your fresh basil growing outside.
Oh, and I will tell the RG about your planned Italian food indulgences! That post made me laugh. He is coming back from ?? (I forgot) tomorrow, and we are headed to the restaurant that overlooks Manhattan from the mountain.
I am making chicken meatballs for tonight, though, but not until after dark, as I am headed to my garden until it gets dark. Not sure what I'll do for a side dish. Earlier, though, I made crudite and had two types of dip to go with it, bacon horseradish and French onion.

I'm in an air conditioned room right now and if there is a heaven, it is most likely just like this, lol.
Please share my travels with the RG. If he has any specific recommendations, I'd love to have them, though I'm in love with the little local places where the cook also takes your order and serves your meal.
Yum on the meatballs! Enjoy your night out tomorrow
