Berl & Donald are coming over tomorrow night for dinner (assuming Berl doesn't get called into work). Tomorrow afternoon I will be at a pet blessing for the humane society (pictures will be posted!) and Mom will be volunteering at the home tour for Advent House.
I am trying to figure out what I am going to cook. I am going through Joy of Cooking, one of Sandra Lee's cookbooks (if I can find it), and the interwebnet. I am going for something homey, something K & D will both eat, something not complicated, but something that takes some effort & care. So far all I've found is a Chicken & Broccoli Braid. But I don't think it is what I am looking for.
I found what I was looking for in my Rachael Ray's 30-Minutes Meals 2. Cheesy Orzo page 63 & Chicken Kiev page 176. We will also have green beans and maybe even an Oreo Dessert.
This will be the first time I've cooked for Donald. I've cooked for Berl a few times - not too many. So I'd like this to turn out nicely. I have made Chicken Kiev before and I *think* I've made Cheezy Orzo. The green beans and Oreo Dessert are no brainers. The green beans are probably in my freezer and the Oreo Dessert is one of those instant imitation cheesecake style desserts.
This dinner by the way will help me with goal number 42. Cook fifteen different meals for my family & friends. As you may have figured out, I don't cook that often. I make various excuses for not cooking but what it seems to boil down to is I am either not prepared, didn't plan ahead for that night or I am uninspired by cooking meals for just Kathryn and I.
There will definitely be pictures of this meal. I think I will go ahead and cook this meal even if he gets called into work. It will be good practice and a good dinner.
