No clue. We will probably grill something, meaning *I* will grill something.

We're heading to huge let's celebrate the summer party at a neighbors house. They'll be BBQing, we need to take something but I've no clue what and I realy don't want to have to spend hours in the kitchen making something. We've got yet another play-off game this morning, followed by a list a mile long of errands that need running.

Whatever it is, we expect a review on the movie thread. We're going to a house warming party ~ I'm hoping we can graze through the food and call it dinner. I feel kind of bad for the young couple (DH sold them their house ~ they were in high school band with DS and he was in their wedding.) It is going to be very hot again today plus the Sharks play at 5:00 and they are huge Sharks' fans.

I don't have a clue. Oldest ds is going to a bbcue for his school Latin Club. Fyi-he never took Latin, but his best friend brought him to meetings and he stayed. Go figure. It might be a gyoza and rice night.

Tonight is grilling night. I've got some pork chops and chicken, along with burgers. Grilling them all tonight will give me a head start on lunch and/or dinner tomorrow.
Grilled potato skins and salad as sides, watermelon for dessert.

I think I am going to make chicken spaghetti. That sounds okay, right? Or the alfredo I was going to make last night but the boy decided at the last minute to go out so it didn't get made. All this 'my baby is graduating' nonsense has my brain a little bit fuzzy.

We had a huge breakfast - frittata and toast. We talked about having chili dogs for lunch/dinner which will be much later than normal because of the big breakfast. No errands to run today - thank goodness because it is a rainy Saturday in the Big Easy.

We're having pasta and meat sauce. I made the sauce a couple of weeks ago and froze it. It has pork and ground beef in it. I'll add some fresh basil from my little plant to brighten it up. Dh actually bought French bread yesterday so I'll have garlic bread...of course dh won't touch anything with garlic and will moan and groan about the smell!
I'm thinking about dragging dh to see Me Before You. We haven't been to a movie in a long time. I listened to the book and loved it...but I'm a sucker for British accents (listening to The Forgotten Garden right now).
Update (not that it really matters, lol): I just used two leftover gift cards and bought tickets for a 4:50 show. Now we're debating what to eat and when to eat it...we'll probably end up eating out or calling popcorn dinner (dh is more likely to do that than I am).

DH and DS are at a car wash fundraiser for ds's DC trip next year. Once they're done, we're off to do grocery shopping. Since we're doing grocery shopping, I'm picking up a couple of rotisserie chickens and I'll make baked potatoes and corn to go with it when we get home.

I've taken it to potlucks several times ... I add chopped romaine and put it in my own bowl, and no one (besides other diehard Costco shoppers) ha ha, knows I didn't make it myself.

DH is working on some beef ribs. He's had them cooking all day and they smell great. Still, I'm not really a ribs person so while he enjoys those I'll probably make myself a veggie and cheese sandwich. A very lazy Saturday around here.

I forgot to post my dinner. I'm going to chop up my leftover pot roast and mix it with the gravy/juices, mushrooms, sour cream, whatever seasonings I come up with, egg noodles ... and call it stroganoff. My sister reminded me I did this before with leftover pot roast and it was beyond delicious. Plus I found more leftover pot roast and juices in the freezer, so I'm tossing it all in the pot. She's driving back from SoCal today, so it'll be a nice dinner for her and her family, too.

We're still amazed at how perfect the weather was for our 8 days in Louisiana in April. Mid 70's, low humidity and it only rained the night before we came back to CA. Now it's messing with the Regionals for the NCAA baseball tournament in Baton Rouge. Hope you're staying dry!

I just got in from my produce hunt. We went to a farmers' market in a medium city. An hour away. I got a nice chicken, broccoli, beans, beets, and lots of lettuces. Bonus - we ate a huge lunch at a Japanese restaurant. Tonight we will have leftovers from last night's chicken. If that's not enough, I'll let DH have some of my rice bowl. We'll have cupcakes for dessert. ETA - lucyg, leftover pot roast is the best for leftovers! Stroganoff sounds yummy.

Grilled potato skins and salad as sides, watermelon for dessert. I wanna have dinner at your house tonight! Not sure what I will have. I'm flying home in an hour and land at dinner time so I will likely stop and pick up something easy and eat it when I get home.

We are having friends over and having an Italian themed dinner with some kid favorites: tortellini salad, lasagna (wonton) cups, DD10's pizza puffs, garlic bread, as well as homemade Caesar salad and Italian margaritas!

It's our no need for leftovers night so I plan on making bean and cheese burritos. Chips and salsa if the boys want some.

Dh redeemed himself tonight and grilled burgers! We also had corn on the cob.
I've been to the produce markets twice this week so we need to eat fruit for dessert!
