I'll be your houseguest for that.

so tonight what's it gonna be? I'm thinking chicken. I have these pastured chickens that I purchased from a local farmer.

Perhaps I'll butterfly them and marinate in a spicy lime achiote sauce then cook on the barbecue...could be. Perhaps. And with it...uh, let's see, fresh from the farm chipotle glazed carrots with fresh chopped mint and cilantro? And a salad...

Dessert...dessert...maybe a chocolate pudding? That would be fun. But requires a little advance planning. Have to see how the day goes.

tonight was sweet and sour pork

A sausage and pepperoni pizza from Cafe Pesto

With some caught-last-week-in-Alaska-rockfish from a friend....

Baked rockfish in rice (very simple -- put rice, water, sesame oil, grated gingeroot and garlic salt in a pan, stir til mixed. Lay fish on top and bake at 350 til done)

Leaf lettuce salad with homemade croutons

Homemade rye rolls

The vegetable lovers also enjoyed the quick-braised sugar-snap peas in sesame oil.

Chocolate and white chip coconut/macademia nut cookies (thanks to Mrs. cblaisd's incredible baking skills).

Delicious chicken/cheese quesadillas. Homemade and perfect.

night before we had quesadillas also. Made with barbecued pastured chicken in an achiote, lime and ancho marinade.

Last night we had a long simmered bolognese sauce made from free range pork and grass fed local beef, along with home made fresh pasta and a salad of organic mixed greens and home made ranch dressing.

Tonight: charcoal grilled 3 Alaskan salmon steaks brought back from a fishing trip by a friend two weeks ago; marinated in a mixture of corn oil, shoyu (soy sauce), lemon juice, and fresh grated gingerroot. On the grill they were joined by ears of just-picked corn from the neighbor's garden (simply grill in the husk).

Accompanied by sweet rolls and a mixed green salad, and topped off with the last of the Fourth of July homemade vanilla ice cream.

Picnic (dinner) under the Eiffel Tower :
- homemade tuna rillettes
- homemade pheasant pâté
- french baguette
- pasta salad with arugula, cherry tomatoes and Parmesan
- fruits (peaches and cherries)
- homemade cookies
- Pouilly Fumé

I'm thinking.....

Chicken enchiladas with green chiles and roasted corn, salad and freshly picked garden raspberries for dessert.

PL Bar (grass fed/range) beef and garden salad.

It's too early to say.
