what to make for dinner....????
My son's girlfriend is graduating from high school this week, and I learned this morning that tonight is the only night she has to spend celebrating w/ us.

I took nothing out of the freezer for dinner.

She eats pretty much everything, but I guess she had chicken for dinner last night.

I can stop at the store on the way home. But what should I make?

1. Pasta?
Some fresh pasta dish, maybe ravioli with a tomato sauce? Salad, garlic bread .. tiramisu for dessert?

If the store has tiramisu that is?

I had a big batch of spaghetti sauce (complete w/ homemade meatballs) planned for the weekend....

I could probably do a beef or shrimp stirfry over pasta....

5. If the weather is nice, how about some grilled chicken and
veggies? I know she had chicken last night, but this was sooo good.

We butterflied a chicken last night and cooked it on the grill - put a baking sheet and two bricks over it for the first 15 minutes to really sear it.

I had seasoned it with rosemary and garlic.

We also grilled zucchini, yellow squash, asparagus and scallions.

6. I'm sorry to say it, but I don't have a grill
and yes, that's a crime.

7. Not a crime at all.
I didn't have one for many years.

I now have one and I also purchased a Calphalon cast iron griddle that can be placed over two burners on the stove and function as a grill.

:hi:

I'm doing a good job trying to distract myself, though. :patriot:
