Yesterday was jam packed solid in the end. Between me getting some pampering and James doing the chores and still managing to get the shopping done we had a lot going on. The girls for some reason just didn't want to nap, by the time they finally went down we ended up having to extend their bedtime and even then they still fought the sleep thing. On the plus side they did sleep all night again so I'm not going to complain too much.
Last night's dinner I fulfilled my fish obligation (chicken for el hubo). I used the same marinade for both the fish and the chicken...miso-ginger marinated salmon. As the weather was just so damn nice we broke out the grill and did both the fish and chicken on it saving on a little clean up. I paired that with a tropical salad with a pineapple vinaigrette and some kine wantons. The salad was an interesting combination of romaine lettuce and fresh pineapple topped with a little toasted coconut. The dressing was a simple using oil, red wine vinegar and a little pineapple juice. The whole meal had a hawaiin influence using some japanese flavors paired with tropical. Must admit I enjoyed it a lot and certainly not something that I'd done before. The wantons are cream cheese, crab meat and water chestnuts with a little green onion wrapped up in wanton wrappers (you really can find them at the grocery store).
Today's dinner is sitting in the fridge covered in a barbecue spice from Penzy's....ribs (I had a craving). I'm going to make a baste for those later and start them off in the oven roasting over a low temp and some beer with a little liquid smoke. Oh I hope they come out good. I plan on pairing that with a beet salad (no potato salad for us!). I will finish off the ribs on the grill just to make sure they are fully cooked, as our grill just doesn't do so well on the even heat factor any more.
Tomorrow is Johnathon's bday as I have been requested to make the austin crispy tacos and we will follow that up with some cake and probably fondue (there goes the diet). I think I'll just moderate the cake intake and stick with the fruit and not the fondue. As for the cake a small piece won't hurt too much. Yes I know ribs diet.../sigh that was before the change to the menu on Monday lol. I'll figure something out for reducing some of that fat.
