We're cooking up Chinese stir fry tonight: chicken with broccoli. It will also have carrots in it for color, and maybe some water chestnuts for crunchiness. The rice is going to be from a mix: sesame ginger rice. We don't usually do mixes, but the RG was busy all day since we had some workers in painting the house.
For a salad, cantalope with a little sweetened condensed milk and chopped mint leaves.
To drink, sparkling mineral water and maybe a Mike's lemonade for me. Sparkling mineral water is in short supply around here--don't know if it's because of Irma and Harvey or what the situation is. I barely got one bottle at the store today.

I forgot to mention - I make an anchovy vinaigrette for this. (Basically a warning for those who don't like anchovies.)

(1,697 posts)baked with just S & P and dill weed, but my son made Hollandaise sauce to have with it. Roasted butternut squash cubes, a late cucumber with mint and yogurt, and baked potatoes. My Hollandaise-making son is a Twin Peaks fan, so dessert is cherry pie.
