I just love it when the husband makes dinner, instead of me, for a change
just sayin'. :D

on the menu tonite:

roasted tri-tip

roasted potatoes w/ fresh garlic and rosemary

steamed green beans

It's pouring rain outside, there's a roaring fire in the fireplace and we rented "Across the Universe" to see tonite. :thumbsup:

1. Mmm. That's one of my favorite ways to make taters.
Then again, taters are my favorite food. I'll eat 'em in any form. :9

48. Very cool!
Just checked their site and I will do that. Here's a couple more for you:

http://wdvx.com/ Started out in a little trailer in the mountains of east TN and moved into a building in town not too long ago.

http://wholewheatradio.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page A Wiki based station where the listeners queue up the songs themselves. Been turned onto some really great indie artists there. Excellent!

9. The roasting garlic is making the house smell amaaaazing right now!
there's nothing quite like the smell of fresh roasting garlic. :9

Your dinner sounds restaurant-quality. I posted on your thread and wish you lived closer, or else I'd have to come over and join you. :D

Bon Appetit! :hi:

13. Oh, yum....
garlic! I couldn't live without it! Yours sounds pretty incredible, too.

I wished we lived closer, too. Arden and I talk about that wish a lot so we could share suppers and other goodies.

14. I notice you say "the" husband and not "my" husband. Do you care to confess something?
The Lounge would be much better if we ran it like the Maury Povich Show
