Yummmm drool..... there is no cooking like genuine italian cooking.

You are sooo right...I am investing a few euro right now in a great encyclopedia being put out by Mandori. It is a 16 volume set and has some absolutely phenomenal recipes.

"What time is dinner???"

Usually, it's the third meal of the day.
However, in the south and in the country,
we refer to dinner as the second meal of the day.

Hey ... CALL it whatever you like ...
We just don't want to be "late" for it!!

So ... Noon, 1 PM; 5, 6 or 7 PM ... whenever ... we'll be there!!

I will keep my fingers crossed for you so you guys can get back here. It will be nice to have another PTer in the country.

Tonight.. it is angel hair pasta with spaghetti sauce and smoked sausage meatballs. (hubby is making it)

Tomorrow.. earlier today, I started red beans to soak. I'll put the beans in the crock pot either tonight or eaaaaarly tomorrow with some Tony Chacheres and let it cook all day. Served over jasmine rice with corn bread on the side. Red beans and rice, woo!

We are having chicken fajitas tonight. I marinaded the chicken all day, just cooked it on the grill, saute' up some onions and green peppers, and shredded up some cheese and wrapped up in tortilla wraps, salsa and sour cream on the side...yummmmmm

Yummmmy! Do you want to share that recipe for the tilapia? Pretty pleeeeasseeeee?

We had teriyaki chicken, rice pilaf, and asparagus. MMMMMM MMMMM MMMMM!!

How do you fix the teriyaki chicken Kay? Marinate and then grill? Your meal sounds perfect! The chicken fajita meal also appeals to me.

what IS tilapia? I keep seeing it on menus and then googling says it is a small fish? Is it a specific type of fish or just a name for small pan fish??

Tonight we had pasta with peppers, onions and italian sausage - a favorite of mine Dessert was lowfat chocolate ice cream topped with strawberries.

talapia is a very mild white fish that has become very popular, my kids really like it.

Tonight hubby and I cooked together. We don't do it often but it is always great when we do. We had purée (mashed potatoes but slightly different), green beans, & steak in a honey garlic red wine sauce.

The sauce was amazing. A sweet taste but not too much. It was yummy.

Tonight hubby grilled out some teriyaki chicken. I marinated it in some bottled teriyaki sauce and it tasted great! He also grilled yellow squash and zucchini. We had the chicken & veggies with teriyaki rice (microwave foil rice) Dessert was sliced strawberries. Oh and sweet tea of course!!
