What's for Dinner, Sat., April 15, 2023

Pizza. One of those everything pizzas that you can buy from the local pizzeria and then bake off yourself.

I might add some more mozzarella and gold and green peppers.

Coke to drink.

Dessert: OK, I didn't really mean to do this, but an "everything" bar. I think it's a Lara bar. Decaf coffee.

The couple on the catamaran next to us are coming over for dinner. One of the great joys of sailboat cruising is meeting new people. And eating great food!

Appetizers
Cold seafood platter of shrimp, raw oysters & clams and fresh anchovies (not salty!). Bread & butter.

Entree
Grilled NY strip steaks served with marinated and grilled potato wedges. Boston Bibb salad with cherry tomatoes, red onion and Balsamic dressing.

Dessert
Rainstorm ice cream. We're just south of Miami and there has been a ton of rain this past week. Rainstorm ice cream is vanilla ice cream slightly melted with caramel syrup drizzled on top along with chocolate sprinkles. It kind of looks like the shoreline!

Thawed some of the leftover Easter capon to have in this. We like a homemade biscuit topping. I might chop a little cabbage and make a vinaigrette for it, just to have something crunchy. But I made potluck food today for tomorrow, so maybe not. I put together a Mississippi pot roast, made a keto broccoli salad, and made a chocolate buttercream and frosted cupcakes (also a leftover from Easter that I froze).

cause we're getting tired of left-over lamb. But for those of you following the Easter lamb saga - we had pitas with lamb, falafel, and home-made tatziki for lunch.

14. spaghetti & meatballs (benefit dinner)

Our local American Legion (of which Al is a member) held a benefit dinner for a Veteran who was hit by a car (drunk driver) last December. The driver left the scene. She was apprehended.

FTR, dinner was horrible. The pasta was undercooked, and the sauce was lackluster. The meatballs weren't all that good. But they raised a boat-load of money for a guy who has literally been in ICU for 130 days.

The irony really gets to me: Served his country, probably in the Korean War, survived, only to be hit by a drunk driver in our tiny little hamlet. He's 82 years old.
