Week 10! Tonight was interesting - Chicken with Apple, Red Onion & Cider Sauce, rice and Grandma's fried okra. I wasn't so sure about the Chicken with apple and onion - certainly willing to try it though. It was pretty good - not one of my favorites, but edible. The okra was darn near perfect - just like my grandmother's except not quite as crunchy. I'll let it cook a little longer next time.

We had a smaller crowd this week, too. It was nice to be a little more intimate, but I missed all the young people! Other than Lilly, I was the youngest one here - that sure doesn't happen very often these days. LOL

I've found myself thinking more about Fall - good soups and stews. What are your favorite Fall dishes?

Next week: Chicken Chesapeake with chicken, mushrooms and crab in a cream cheese sauce. It sounds really good! In the meantime, I have to come up with something for a covered dish celebration at Church this Sunday.

Week 9??

Tonight was Oven Baked Beef Stroganoff and Squash Casserole - the squash was really good! Good food, good friends and good wine - what could be better? Then we topped off the evening watching "Master Chef". New ideas! LOL

We had a good crowd, too, even though a couple of guys dissed us. :-) (You know who you are)

I want to try scallops one of these days - never had them.

Next week, Chicken with Apple, Onion and Cider Sauce and I'm going to attempt to duplicate my Grandmother's fried okra.

Okay, I'm a little late. Obviously, this week's Tuesday Night Supper was not inspiring enough to motivate me to write about it. Chicken Tetrazzini, salad and garlic bread. The garlic bread was good! LOL Actually the Tetrazzini was okay, but just okay. Rather bland, although a little salt and pepper helped.

I'm looking forward to next week - Oven Baked Beef Stroganoff and Squash Casserole.

Week Seven - the Shrimp Scampi and Asparagus Risotto were both fabulous! I messed up and bought unpeeled shrimp, so I spent the first half hour peeling, but that just worked up an appetite! All kinds of new adventures this week - first time buying brandy (with a wonderful, fun salesman at the ABC Store in Thomasville), searching for shallots (finally found some at Ingles in Thomasville), first time peeling shrimp and first time burning off alcohol in a pan. (It burned a lot longer than I thought it would.)

Next week: Chicken Tetrazinni with Roasted Red Peppers, perhaps with Squash Casserole (it was requested, but I'm not sure that's a good combo). We'll see.

Richard suggests green beans with bacon and brown sugar - not sure about that one, either. (Yuck?)

Now I need to get back to the gym to work it off!
