Grilled smoked pork chops
Grilled red, yellow & green peppers and onion slices
Au gratin potatoes

We rarely have dessert. I requested brownies last night, but to date, non
have materialized. (I'm trying to get Crash, my great dane, to do some of
the food prep around here)

I've got a volunteer meeting tonight so dinner will be quick. Methinks
I'll order Chinese delivery or stop and grab a bite somewhere on the way
home.

It is so hot here this week, a person doen't feel like eating much. Dennis
is to bring us a break tomorrow or Thursday. My dinner was a ceasar salad.

Hope you get your brownies.

Here it's grilled or broiled steak (John needs to go get a new gas canister
if he gets home early enough) Half head of lettuce with french dressing.
Maybe some rice for everyone else-I can live without it. Maybe a half cup
of low carb rocky road icecream later. Truly boring<GG>

I'm going to have a salad instead of making the au gratins. You're right.
It's just too nasty out there to contemplate heating up the kitchen.

> Hope you get your brownies.

I think they'll just have to wait. I'm considering a trip to the store for
Watergate Salad ingredients. The salad is no work at all, and it's cool
and yummy.

grilled)
Sauteed cabbage

Heehee! You'll have to make it fast. Crash isn't eating yet. You might
be able to grab his (his *dinner*). <G>

LOL! He's not Danish. I was referring back to another thread where
someone speculated that Crash may have been a poodle.

I have a wonderful barbecue sauce recipe from the low-carb group (recipe
follows).

I'll do this the next time. I lost nearly half of my pepper slices.
Thanks for the tip!

> Sauteed cabbage

I could have done that, too! Tomorrow for sure.

> garlic bread

A personal favorite of Crash's. I should get some for when I grill
spaghetti (family joke - I used to grill so often that my daughter often
expressed her fear that she'd be served spaghetti with grill marks on it).

> Denali Extreme Moose tracks ice cream

I'm positive that we don't get that brand here, so it's probably safe for
you to tell what's in it.

> Essy but tasty!

That's the best kinda meal!

(I agree with your assessment of that other situation)

Jenny's Indispensable Almost No Carb Barbecue Sauce

Recipe By :Jenny the Bean (asdlc), modified slightly by Damsel
Serving Size : 27 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : condiments

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tablespoons Splenda® granular -- (18 drops liquid)
1 dash cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum -- optional
1 1/2 tablespoons yellow mustard
15 ounces tomato sauce -- plain
6 tablespoons vinegar
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 tablespoon Frank's Hot Sauce
3/4 tablespoon salt -- optional
1 1/2 teaspoons liquid smoke flavoring

Place Splenda and cayenne pepper into a medium sauce pan. Add xanthan gum,
if you choose to thicken the sauce. Blend mustard into dry ingredients.
Slowly blend in the tomato sauce. Stir in the rest of the ingredients.

Bring to a boil, then lower heat. Let simmer for a few minutes. Let cool,
then refrigerate.

Note: this sauce will taste a bit peculiar if you taste it when it is still
hot. Don't worry! Something magical happens when it sits in the fridge.

is 1 gm carbs, 6 calories.

NOTES : This isn't a substitute for the "real thing," it's an improvement.
It's so good the rest of the family gobbles it up and I have to keep making
more.

Thanks for posting. I don't do low-carb, but have many friends who do.

Oh, it's awesome, if you like dark chocolate. It's dark chocolate ice
cream, chocolate fudge filled mini cups and ribbons of dark chocolate
fudge. I like all of their other flavors as well - especially Bear
Claw. http://www.moosetracks.com (requires flash).

I am not a chocolate lover but I like ice cream - especially dark
chocolate. I wish the stores here carried more of their flavors.

I have to make that Eisenhower salad soon and give you the recipe...
it's very close to this. Jello, not pudding. Cottage cheese (not as
gross as you'd think) instead of Cool Whip... no cherries.


thanks

I have an aversion to all things lime. Except certain Jell-O salads. I
like lime Jell-O with cottage cheese! Bring the recipe on!

Were you were spared all the dopey songs and slogans they had in those
days... "I Like Ike"?


Eisenhower Salad

1 (16 oz.) carton cottage cheese -
*SIL insists it's best with large curd, but I use small*
2 C mayonnaise
1 med can crushed pineapple, drained
1 C chopped walnuts
1 pkg (sm) lemon jello
2 pkg (sm) lime jello
1 C hot water
1 1/2 C cold water

Dissolve all the jello in 1 cup of hot water, and then add 1 1/2 cups
cold water. Stir in cottage cheese and mayonnaise. Add drained
pineapple and chopped walnuts, mixing thoroughly. Pour into a 9 x 13
inch pan if you're planning to cut it into squares.

When partially set, stir again to suspend all pieces of pineapple and
walnut. Chill until set.

Tonight it is too Hot outside to BBQ. So I'm hiding in the A/C house
and convection oven cooking some chicken legs for supper. The
legs&thighs will have a spinach side salad.
