What's for Dinner, Sat., June 9, 2018
We're going to dinner at the home of friends tonight. She's a fabulous cook and way ahead of her time in the cooking world. Didn't tell us what she's serving tonight, though. I plan a fast trip to my garden so I can take some fresh produce (lettuces, Swiss chard, etc.) with me.
For lunch, however, the RG went to the Polish deli near the town we used to live in. It was fun to enjoy the items we used to get frequently (and now hardly ever). There were sausages, pate, sliced ham, breaded chicken, ham loaf, and numerous side dishes. One was something like sauerkraut but it was a salad. Imagine sauerkraut with shredded carrots.
Then for dessert, blintzes and some cranberry/nut pastries.

….cooking some peppers onions, tomatoes and cilantro and having steak and prawn fajitas! if hubby cooks it 
Not sure what were having, but they suggested I bring red wine, so that's a vague clue! 
Does that ever sound good! I love little sandwiches; sometimes I fill a plastic container with them and munch on them when the RG is gone on a trip, like he is today, and just do nibbles throughout the day instead of a regular meal. And the crab cakes and country ham biscuits--umm!
Speaking of "discovered" family, I have a friend whose daughter and family were dining one evening when they received a knock on the door. This family lives in the Midwest. It was a man who introduced himself as a brother to the daughter's husband. He had been doing genealogy research and discovered his brother. The two became very close.
Soon the two brothers spent so much time together that my friend's daughter wished something like this would happen to her. She began research on whether it was possible. I said to my friend that I thought this was a little far-fetched. My friend thought so, too. I mean, really, why would you think you might have a long-lost sibling from another mother--just because this happened to your husband?
Imagine our surprise when she actually did turn up a sister. The sister lives in the Princeton area of NJ and the two fly halfway across the country to see each other several times a year and they talk regularly on the phone. They are the best of friends and share everything with each other!
