Debating making the chocolate peanut butter oatmeal cookies with cocoa or hazelnut spread.Already decided that it's dark chocolate chips for the chips,but may add some tollhouse chips to the batter.

I'm not cookin'.
Canh Chua Tom for lunch, score.
Nutritionally sound, starch free, and the best use of $9.50 in town for 2. Tomato Tamarind, Shrimp, Pineapple, cilantro and various terrific things I don't have the patience to mess around with at home.
Lately my artistry has extended to heating leftover chili M made and opening yogurts. Down 2 pounds.

Yeah, I definitely have my hands full at the moment. I didn't decide what to make, I just make what I was told to. I find the menu a bit weird, because it's sort of all over the place. The baba ganoush, couscous and lamb meatballs sort of fall in the same Mid-Eastern slot, but then there's that whole quiche section, and someone's roasting half a moose or something for the wedding, too.
I'm most worried about the cakes, especially the mousse cake. I've made them before and I made mini versions of both of them yesterday they turned out fine. But still, I'm not supposed to be making wedding cakes for anyone!
On the menu today: salmon and celeriac-apple pure and some sort of a salad.

After reading all of your posts on this thread for a while, I just have to ask...will you adopt me or just let me live in one of your kitchen cupboards? I am a quiet sort of roomy that enjoys cleaning and cooking and I would loooove to just work to have the chance to taste all of your food.
Please?

I do see what you mean... who knows the mind of a bride, though??? My FIL was a professional baker so when he volunteered to do the cake for the younguns it was a no brainer. It's not the creation that is nerve-wracking; it's the transporting of the beautiful, and delicious cakes that seems to be more the concern. Simple easy... no pillars etc., is the way to go.
Today's menu: I think a zucchini, yellow squash, spinach, ricotta lasagna is the menu. I might root around in the freezer to see if I have any italian sausage left.

This morning it was a spinach, broccoli, and asparagus frittata served with fresh diced tomatoes, feta, and basil over the top.
This afternoon it will be simple slow roasted house stinkin comfort food of spicy Italian sausage, onion, and potatoes.

It's J's birthday and a couple of friends are coming over. And because the weather's horrible I'm going for a something of a general, all over the place and over the top tropical theme. Complete with kitchy tiki mugs and plates I borrowed from a friend, leis I'm currently making out of ugly paper flowers, neon colored straws, tiny umbrellas for drinks etc.

Cooking for my mama and daddy tonight: Baked chicken with cream of mushroom topping, rice, corn on the cob, green beans, fried okra, and cornbread. A little more carb-heavy than I'd have gone if I were just cooking for me, but it should still be good. Oh, and cherry cream cheese pie for dessert.

I don't go by recipe, but I like to use a combination of lemon, ginger and garlic, salt, pepper and either muscovado sugar or honey. Sometimes I go with chili, chipotle or something like that, sometimes ginger and other times onions and basil.
Lemongrass is interesting to experiment with too.
We had wraps filled with beef, spinach, sour cream and black beans. Guacamole and salsa cruda with that.

Eggplant, zucchini, tomato, onion, garlic and goat cheese sliced, stacked and baked in the oven, with a side of pearl barley and mint-y yoghurt sauce.
I've been eating so completely out of season stuff lately, but man, it's been good (and expensive...)!

Feijoa? I'm not a big fan of the fruit, only the wee little sour feijoa lollies they make. Mmmmm.
