My sister's in town and staying with my brother's family. I'm invited to join them for dinner tonight. He's making homemade meatballs and gravy and mashed potatoes. I have no idea what else their serving but I could just eat my brother's meatballs and be happy! Yum!
i told him I'd bring dessert so I'll be making a couple of peach & raspberry galettes in a bit. They're a rustic pie and I use the recipe in The Joy Of Cooking. Yummy!
So, what's cooking at your house tonight?

Dover sole with baked fries and asparagus. Last night oldest DS (11) told me he wants to start cooking "real" food (not just heating up in a microwave) and he wants to start by cooking the fish tonight :-)

Trying a new recipe I found on Pinterest for "healthy alfredo" sauce for pasta made with cauliflower as the base. We like the fake mashed potatoes made with cauliflower so we hope we'll like this, too.

Something with chicken. I am not sure yet what. I have two boneless, skinless chicken breasts and am still trying to figure out what to do with them.
It is now officially just me and the boy, so I am trying to remember how to cook for just two.

I have the leftovers from our Thai dinner last night, BUT my brother did some cooking for me as part of my birthday gift. He cooked and shelled a lobster for me. Plus he made tomato basil soup and he recommends putting it all together to make lobster bisque, so that is exactly what I'm going to do. I think I'll pick up a loaf of sourdough to go with it. There's also some tomato, basil, and goat cheese salad, made with tomatoes from his garden, and his home-cooked shrimp cocktail, all leftover from last night. A beautiful feast. The 5yo can eat the leftover Thai food.

I've made that before, we really liked it - OK, I really really liked it, dh and boys thought it was OK, but I suspect they saw me prepping the cauliflower ;-)

Okay, so I'm back with the report on the cauliflower version of the Alfredo sauce. We really liked it. I did it over tri-color veggie fettuccine and that helped to add some much needed color to the dish. We will definitely make this again.
And lucyg - nice brother to do all that cooking for part of your birthday! The lobster added to the tomato basil soup sounds wonderful.

Curry and rice! I'm excited. I've been wanting to make curry for a while but have been too busy/tired.

P.S. the 5yo turned up his nose at leftover Thai food. He's currently eating a quesadilla, and carrots I cooked in the microwave. As for me, around 5:00 PM I remembered there was coffee ice cream in the freezer that went with the birthday cake. After getting into that, I realized it would be tempting fate to pile creamy tomato-lobster bisque on top of coffee ice cream (mild case of lactose intolerance ... I can handle one, not both). So I guess if I get hungry later, I will be the one eating leftover Thai food.

I had half a jar of olives.
My kids are at their dad's house and I'm bad at cooking for just myself.
I think I should go drink some water.
