TCG's dad, step-mom, and step-brother, are coming over tonight for dinner and to install the AC that his step-mom and dad got us for the shower. So far I am making cheese tortellini with bolognese, chicken rolled with spinach and proscuitto, some sort of salad, and brownies for dessert. I'd like to add some sort of veggie side dish, but I'm brain dead. So, I can't think of anything. Any ideas?
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Easy and theme appropriate and seasonal -- zucchini and summer squash sauteed w/ some sweet onion. salt & pepper. But really it sounds like you have plenty of food!

TCG's dad doesn't eat onions, and I made roasted summer squash and zucchini when they were here a couple of weeks ago. If I don't make way too much food, I will ruin my reputation.

Did they like it? if so, repeat!
um...okay greenbeans, very lightly boiled (like 5 minutes so they are still crisp), tossed with a little olive oil, lemon, toasted pine nuts and salt and pepper.

Green beans lightly steamed, then tossed with olive oil and a dollop of really good mustard, finish with a sprinkling of sea salt.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I love that we x-post everything here, even green beans.

Art Crawl!!!
Or something tomatoey since they are also in season.
Is this another piece on Goth fashion - or the one that's been on the NYT website for a while?

Green beans are an excellent idea! Thanks Barb and Lisa!
