Flowers and Smileys and Chit Chat, Oh My..... Part 5

[crossfamily]

Speaking of refillable mugs, since they have changed all of the mugs to the YOMD ones, does that mean I can't get away with bringing my POP mugs from 2004?

Oh I know I'll buy a YOMD one in Sept in bring it back in Nov...problem solved

I'll be right there with ya..

Hey I found this for super easy grilled zucchini and squash, I think I'll add some red peppers and onions and that will really be yummy!

A coworker brought be a bag of veggies out of her garden -zucchini, squash, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, I know I'm at least having the grilled zucchini and squash and a salad. Think spaghetti would go good with that? :

Hi Teresa

Here's a different one

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Squash-and-Zucchini-Casserole/Detail.aspx

INGREDIENTS
2 medium yellow squash
2 large zucchini
1 Vidalia onions, thinly sliced
2 large tomatoes, sliced
2 cups grated Romano cheese
1/2 cup butter, divided
salt and pepper to taste


DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Cut the zucchini and squash into long, thin layers. Lightly grease a 7x11-inch baking dish and layer the squash, zucchini, onion and tomatoes into the baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese and add pats of butter between each layer of vegetables, and season each layer with salt and ground black pepper to taste.

Continue this layering process until all the vegetables are used up and top this off with the remaining butter and cheese.

Cover and bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 20 to 30 minutes, or until vegetables are to desired tenderness and cheese is melted and bubbly

Now that sounds good.

It is a Spanish or Cuban Sauce. I love it. Lots of Garlic and Citrus. It comes in a bottle (almost like a liquor bottle).

OOH I never thought of adding cheese to one. I wonder how it would do on the grill? Maybe i'll try that tonight with a little bit on the side..

Here you go. I prefer to just buy it in the store.

Cuban Mojo sauce recipe
courtesy of Cocina Cubana/ Pascual Perez/ Sonia Martinez/


The authentic mojo is made with juice from sour oranges. It still has that little orangy taste, but its very acid and tart. You can come close by mixing equal amounts of freshly squeezed orange juice with lime juice (*). If you live in areas with large concentration of Latinos you will probably find bottled Mojo (Goya brand makes one) or their produce department might have the slightly bumpy, thick skinned sour oranges. This recipe makes one cup.

1/3 cup olive oil
6 to 8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced or minced
2/3 cup sour orange juice or lime juice
(or equal portions oj and lime juice)
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Heat the olive oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant and lightly toasted. Don't let it brown or it will be acrid tasting, just about 30 seconds should do it.

Add the sour orange juice, cumin and salt and pepper. STAND BACK; the sauce may sputter. Bring to a rolling boil. Taste and correct seaoning, if needed

Cool before serving. Mojo is best when served within a couple of hours of making, but it will keep for several days, well capped in a jar or bottle, in the refrigerator.

Use with Cuban sandwiches, boiled yuca, grilled seafood and meats, fried green plantain chips, etc.

I have seen recipes for mojo using cilantro in it, but that is not traditional to Cuban Cuisine.

I love Spanish or Cuban Food.

That sounds good, but I think I'll look for it in a bottle, that sounds like a lot of work

Remind me, after I've had a blue goose or two, to tell you about how I lived with a cuban family when I was 17 It's an interesting story

I'm guessing I had it there, but I don't remember

You got it.

You would have had to have it there. It is a marinade.

I am out of here.

Have a good evening.

 

[Missy1961]

[Missy1961]

I am out of here myself. Don't think I'll be around much tonight.

That table by the pool won't be very crowded with all the ladies doing these things.

I still sit, talk and watch better.

Making you a little uncomfortable Joanne?

Didn't you hear Joanne, they are turning the next ladies trip into one big crop!?!?! The table by the pool will be so crowded that us non scrappers will be forced to go to parks or something else equally boring

I have the greatest picture of Tweety Bird from Sardinia. But I can't post it.

I'm preparing myself

We'll be forced to ride It's a small world over and over again.

 

[TDC Nala]

Now that will be strange. I can't imagine anyone in the job but Bob Barker.

I hope Drew doesn't make the ladies fish around in his pants pocket for the hundred dollar bill. That always creeped me out when Bob did it.

I didn't think that you had to buy a ticket with the dining plan if it wasn't during the free dining.

Sorry I guess I am of no help.

You always have to buy at least a one-day ticket with the dining plan, unless you are a DVC member staying on points.
