Sounds good to me...
I don't know what I'll be having tonight. I'm getting together with some guys that run an ISP to talk about network design. One of the guys had his wife volunteer to cook for us.

Actually my wife is the amazing cook of the family, and I think she is going to try out a new recipe tonight. Applebee's Fiesta Lime Chicken, we found a copycat recipe on the web, and she is going to try it tonight I think.

Tostinos anyone.. It's not as good as Digiorno.. But it cost a lot less..
Actually, I don't know what my wife is cooking. She doesn't let me cook much..

I set the table Dr. Ron,
The carmel apple trifle is
cake, pudding on top, topped with apples and nuts and whipped topping
It is GREAT

As we speak, I have a beef roast with potatoes and carrots in the slow cooker.
Tossed salad
Corn bread -- We seldom eat without it (except breakfast)
'unsweet' tea
Not sure about dessert
We also eat out alot, perhaps too much.

I know.. but my wife loves to cook also. I can't even take her out anywhere because she loves her food over restaurants.
The past nights.. Spinach soup, Country Fried Steak with white Gravy (make Paula Dean Slap herself), Green Beans, Scalloped potatoes, delicious rolls, with white chocolate bread pudding. Zowie.

We have the same problem. We, the wife and I, like our own cooking better than almost anything we get at a restaurant.
However, there is one meal that we can't do very well....that is grill steaks. Somehow, they are never tender. I suppose we over
cook them, as neither of us like rare meat. So, we go out for a steak once in a while.
Also, we can't make good ice tea. I don't know if don't purchase the right kind of tea or just don't know how to make it. We like
restaurant tea better.
Any suggestions, (anyone) on how to make good Ice Tea?

I microwave 2 cups of water in a glass measuring cup 'til it's boiling, then add 12 tea bags (I use whatever brand is $1 for 100 tea bags at Wal-Mart- I don't think it has much to do with the brand) and let it steep for 10 minutes or so. Empty it into a gallon container, add 1 1/2 - 2 cups sugar, shake or stir to mostly dissolve the sugar. Fill the rest of the way with water and shake or stir.
I like my tea SWEET (My mom grew up in GA) so you could change that to taste.
Let me know if you try it and what the verdict is! I won't be offended if you don't like it.

You don't (well the others on the board that have heard me go off about tea, don't) want me to start on how to make tea properly.

Ahh now the steak cooking in my domain. Come on down. We can cook a steak that you can pull apart. The secret is to tenderize and season.
