Red beans & rice -- overnight-soaked kidney beans, onions, celery, green bell pepper and ham, simmering in 8 hours in the Crock-Pot. Goes great with Uncle Ben's.

Great minds think alike, AC; we had steak tonight that I got on sale at the grocery store yesterday. Tomorrow will likely be a German restaurant in honor of our wedding anniversary (hubby's ancestry is German).

Happy Anniversary hc! We had Foreman Grilled burgers last night. We had spent the afternoon at an amusement park. LOL

Thanks, eiko! Hubby found the restaurant on-line and we've been looking at the menu - everything sounds so good I might have some difficulty deciding what to order!

What'd you end up having hc?
Yesterday, SO made orange/champagne chicken with herbs. YUM. we had it with rice and apple and nectarine slices.
Went to Fuji Mart in Greenwich today, so we picked up sashimi, ikura and other fixings for sushi along with the other Japanese stuff we can't get anywhere else in CT. Ended up making chirashi sushi (a bowl of sushi rice mixed with lotus root, bamboo shoots, carrots and shiitake, topped with tuna sashimi, red snapper Tai sashimi, masago aka flying fish roe and ikura aka salmon roe, with shredded Japanese egg omelet - it's seasoned with sugar and dashi, seaweed salad and shredded nori over the top), white miso soup with tofu, wakame seaweed and shiitake mushrooms and takoyaki (octopus balls, summer time favorite in Japan). The nice thing about chirashi is that everyone makes it their own way. I never had it with seaweed salad before, it was quite good. yum.

Eiko - hubby and I both ended up having combination plates in order to try as many of the German dishes as possible. I had knackwurst, beef stroganoff and pork schnitzel with sauerkraut and German potato salad as the sides; hubby chose bratwurst, wiener schnitzel and sauerbraten with spaetzle and cornbread (one small nod to Southern cooking) for his sides. It was all very good.
After all that pork and beef, we had turkey burgers for supper last night.
