What's for Dinner, Wed., Oct. 12, 2016

[NJCher]

I’m going to use my new grill and make some grilled vegetables. I’m making grilled bok choy in ginger soy sauce and charred broccoli. According to my cookbook author, broccoli is one of the 10 top vegetables for the grill. The writer says the trick is to slice the broccoli heads into long pieces.

Flounder francese. I didn't make it; it's from the restaurant we went to Monday night.

Dessert: pistachio gelato.
