What's For Dinner Tonight at Your House??

[Mezzaluna]

We're having lemon baked chicken, steamed broccoli and baked potatoes (Russet for my husband, sweet for me). And a nice 2001 vintage of A&W Root Beer.....

Chili John's chili! Chili John's being a Green Bay restaurant that also packages their chili for sale in grocery stores (snakelady knows what I'm talking about!).

Tonight it's stir-fry at our house. I'm using the Emeril Lagasse recipe posted on cheftalk a while back by Afra I think.

This evening I did roast turkey breast marinated in a mango sauce, garlic mashed potatoes with parsley and cream, and whole green beans with carrot coins. Of course I personally ate a teaspoon of peanut butter. It's almost the only thing that doesn't upset my stomach as of late. Everyone else scarfed it up though

Oh heck, I forgot the tossed salad with mescalin mix.

You mean Emeril's fried rice, Sandy? How did you like it? Well, folks, sorry I didn't tell you sooner what I had that night at my friend's house; I was so busy that I totally forgot! Well, anyway, we had green beans, grilled steak (which my friend grilled in her backyard), potaotes, orange juice for drink, and some delicious rice that she made; I don't know how she made it taste so good. All in all, it was a very excellent meal.
