April 26 - 30, Better late than never...

So it's Tuesday night, I'm finally home, dinner is simmering, there's wine in my glass and time on my hands (and cheese in my mouth, but that might be more than I should share) and so I thought I'd get around to finally posting...

I'm ready to just eat tomatoes, but I think that actually can't happen until July or August...

Sunday

We stuffed 2 rainbow trout with a fennel/garlic stuffing -- just fennel and garlic chopped, then sauteed in a pan with olive oil, salt and pepper.  We stuffed it in the trout, put them on foil, and grilled indirectly for about 20 minutes.  We brushed (lots) with a mixture of butter, lemon juice and parsley.

Phil made super-duper mashed potatoes to go with it.

And we grilled tomatoes, too.

Monday

Little pizzas on Naan flatbread -- just sauce, then bell pepper, onion, mushroom, prosciutto, arugula, and cheese, and baked for about 20 minutes on 400.  We had planned to grill them, but it was rainy.

Tuesday

I'm making Spring Chicken and Barley Soup again -- see last week's post.  Loved it!

Wednesday

Phil's first non-bowling Wednesday since last summer...  thought we'd celebrate by cooking real dinner, instead of my usual leftovers/beans straight from the can.

Venison/beef mixture burgers

Sauteed mushrooms and onions

Various grilled veggies

Thursday

Quesadillas with mushrooms

Friday

Lots of carbs...  probably pizza or chinese take-out with extra rice...  I'm running my LAST 20-mile tomorrow!  Yahoo!
