Question: my husband picked up the ingredients for the cake for me. He got unsweetened strawberries. Are they ok or do I need to go get sweetened?
INOW our insurance company is really ticking me off. They received the police report on Kyle's accident and remember the guy that hit Kyle was an off-duty cop. Looks like he had some influence on how the report was written, Kyle is now at fault and he was hit in the rear.
Nancy -- I have been meaning to ask how your night with Timmy went. At the store today, I bought a loaf of garlic bread to go with my spaghetti and meatballs. Normally, I would make my own, but in the interest of time, I thought it would be easier to just throw something in the oven to heat. It wasn't until I was making it that I read the ingredients, and it was loaded with all the terrible things (partially hydrogenated soybean oil, anyone??). I made it anyway, and served it. Liam's comment? "Mom, this garlic bread is GREAT!"
last night with pork chops. Tonight is going to be steak on the grill and MAYBE ohana potatoes, nothing to fancy. I have some taco meat that I was thinking about making into a taco pie/casserole for tomorrow night. I know I have seen a recipe somewhere, gotta go find it.
So much for my plan!

Here is a photo of last night's dinner. John wanted to try something not soup so I made eggs floretine. I tried a new way of making hollandaise (microwave) because I did not feel like dragging out the blender. It was a mistake--the sauce broke and was too thin. Oh well, it tasted good:
It's back to the foolproof blender method from now on.
Not sure on dinner yet...I'll be back later to post the menu.

That's one I never even knew they made... Ugh.. Of course the kids would love that! 
Under "normal circumstances" I would. But since Katrina EVERYTHING down here has changed. It would probably take 2 years for an investigation into the details of the report, if we were lucky to get an investigation at all. They're too busy down here dealing with the out of control murders and gang violence.

But I would like to have your foolproof hollandaise recipe?
Here's a pic of last night's dinner, Salmon with guinness sauce, haricot verts w/ spiced pecans and potato leek soup with the addition of Dubliner cheese & bacon on top.
I marinated the Salmon in evoo, a little cajun seasoning, garlic, a little lemon juice & sherry. Then I pan-seared it in butter/evoo until the skin was crispy. I topped it with the guinness sauce & then finished the salmon under the broiler. This is going to be a keeper for cooking salmon, one of the best I've tried.
