What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[LoveDaisy]

Supper tonight will be "Big Sandwiches," as the Little Guy calls them, basically make-your-own Italian subs. We are driving 3 hours to check in at our beach-side rental cottage today so I am trying to get ready. I'm packed, DH has his clothes laid out but isn't packed, only showered. I, OTOH, haven't showered yet. Once we are both dressed, we'll pack the coolers, load the car, and hit the road. The 2003 CRV started making funny noises this week so we are opting to take the little car. Hopefully the 3 of us and all our studd will fit into the Kia Soul!

I hope you have a wonderful vacation!

Last night we shared Foie Gras, Pâté, Pappardelle & Mushroom (entree) & Raspberry Cheesecake paired with a 6 grape port.

Tonight is to be determined. I may try to work in the pasta that we couldn't eat last night, because DH really wanted to save room for dessert. His eyes were bigger than our stomachs.

Today was shack day! We tried The Dock. This one was located on the Niantic River right where it meets the Sound. Water is brackish.





I had lobster bisque. It was delicious with large chunks of lobster and temperature wise it was hot!

I followed that with scallops. They were fried perfectly but not as sweet as I had hoped.

I enjoyed a blackberry and strawberry daiquiri

And we shared fried Oreos, which DH loves and only usually gets at fairs.

Overall really good and I would absolutely go back. I would say of all the shacks we have tried this is my second favorite. I am excluding The Place from these rankings because it’s not really a shack. If I include it I would bump The Dock to 3rd. Costello is #1 for all 4 of us. Will anyone knock it off? We’ve got a few more weeks to go so we will see!

Tonight was red beans and rice. I really like it and it’s a good way to have a meat free meal. Leftovers for the next couple of days too.

I've decided we'll have grilled pork chops & brussels sprouts w/ the leftover pappardelle & mushroom pasta.

Tonight was homemade sweet and sour chicken and rice for me. DH had Chicken patty sandwich and fries.

It was cool enough today to have the oven on so I made lasagna. It's a real winner with DH and DS but it's more labour-intensive than I prefer. Turned out great, although for my personal taste, I'm going to use plain mozzarella on top next time instead of Italian blend cheese. The asiago and shredded parmesan didn't melt as well as I would have liked.
