Meals from June 2005

May 2005 | July 2005

2005-06-01 Leftover Crab

The long weekend is over. Our guests have left. We are left with but fond memories. Fond memories and extra crab meat. Ooh, and a gift cookbook with crab recipes in it. What to do, what to do?

Crab Pasta , Ciabatta Bread from the Farmers’ Market , Herbed Oil , Plain Pasta for the Kids

2005-06-03 A Friendly Game of Clue

Tonight, we gather for dinner and an evening of cards. Last weekend we calculated that tonight would be the last time that we would all be free for the foreseeable future. So we try to make dinner as memorable as possible.

Fried Cornmeal Shrimp , Phyllo Salmon with Spicy Smoked Salmon Stuffing , Roasted Potatoes , Salad with Sherry Vinaigrette

2005-06-13 A Burrito Before Vacation

Tomorrow marks the end of first grade for our daughter. To celebrate, we serve the kids beans. And sweet potatoes.

Sweet Potato and Bean Burrito , Olive and Feta Salad , Chips and Salsa

2005-06-14 Thanksgiving Wishing

On a hot, hot day we could all use some cool thoughts. And what meal evokes wintry thoughts more than Thanksgiving? It is supposed to cool off tomorrow, but we already have the comfort of a hot meal on a cold day.

Quick Turkey with Stuffing , Corn with Chives , Cranberry Sauce , Sweet Potatoes , Salad

2005-06-15 That Old Fashioned Tilapia

We get a visit from Erin tonight. Ever since Sarah moved away (all the way across town), we just have not had family over enough for any of our tastes. Happily we take a step towards a remedy tonight.

Ginger Soy Tilapia , Edamame , Sesame Seed Broccoli , Pineapple

2005-06-21 Summertime

Yesterday was bad. Really bad. With our son still recovering from a weekend bout with the flu, Robin came down with it. She was so sick that the only time she got out of bed was to be… sick. Luckily, she had recovered sufficiently to make a nice little dinner tonight.

Monte Cristo Sandwich , Arugula Salad with Raspberry Glazed Onions , Chips and Salsa , Pavlova
