Sunday dinner

[Jeff Lebowski]

Sounds wonderful. How about posting some recipes?

Our Sunday dinner usually consists of what are known as "gnarly nachos". We load a big ol pan with chips, cheese, and whatever else we feel like putting on top. The kids love it. We're just not the pot roast and potatoes type of family.

Grilled flatbread
Baba Ganouj
Hummus
Tabouli
Couscous with Sundried Tomato and Kalamata Olives
Lamb kabob with Tzatziki
Lemon chicken kabob
Grilled squash, artichoke, carrots and asparagus

The guests are bringing desert. I'm expecting brownies from a box.

The best part about this is the leftovers. I can use the grilled flatbread to make pizza, topped with fresh basil and mozzarella. I can use the couscous for stuffed chicken. The hummus and baba ganouj make a pretty healthy snack.

Do you do anything special with the couscous to make it tasty? we dig couscous in our house, but lately I have been a bit burned out on it. Looking for ways to spice it up.

Also, your hummus and baba gnanouj is from scratch? that is impressive.

Your menu sounds amazing. Good luck and please come back and report. As Leb says, share the wealth...post some recipes!

Speaking of baba ganoush, I harvested my first egg plants from the garden today. Had 'em stir fried and they were delish.

Hummus from scratch is easy. Baba ghanoush is a bit trickier. Salting the eggplant and getting out the bitter juices is a pain. I am mostly impressed with the array of the items. Any one probably isn't so tough, but put them together and you're in the kitchen all day.

Try adding mango salsa to your couscous. It's dang good. My wife made chicken with mango salsa couscous and black beans the other day. It was awesome.

I made beef broccoli and sweet and sour shrimp for dinner tonight.

"Yeah... I'll have the roast duck with the mango salsa"

"frankly I don't have much of an appetite"

My wife and I have a deal that I get to cook Sunday dinner each week. I cook other meals also as time permits, but this one is reserved for me. I love it. We had yakiniku today (Japanese BBQ). I would like to tackle a menu like you described sometime.

Tonight I had a chicken fried steak dinner at Ma & Pa's Kettle about 6 miles from Far West, Missouri. The food was average, but the sunset was great.
