@margo,
With three kids and a hungry husband, he needs to put on the apron and
cook. I think jcboy and Marco make everyone smile here - they're such a cute couple and having taken on 2 additional kids is no small token. They convey to us that there is good in the world.

@CalamityJane,
And Hungry Husband is a fine cook too...


I'm smiling at your summary, CJane, you are so right.

@CalamityJane,
Thank you Jane.

You’re right, taking care of three small children is no easy task but they're all getting along just fine and it does get a little easier each day. They’ve adjusted very well together and all have fallen into the same daily routine

And on a side note, September when school starts couldn’t get here soon enough! Smile

Morgan has dinner on the stove, chicken and sausage gumbo! It smells wonderful!

@MMarciano,
Meantime, it's Green Chile season in New Mexico. Time for me to dig out your recipe from my files. And put tomatillos on the shopping list..

@ossobuco,
Normally we have to drive at least an hour to find tomatillos. They don’t carry them in the local super markets around this area.

@MMarciano,
Oof! Even my very ordinary market has them. But even in my market, they are seasonal - I just noticed them recently. I think I bought a big batch of them at Walmart when I made your recipe, if there's one anywhere around you. I'm no Walmart fan, but I go there a couple of times a year for something, since it's not too far away.
As you can tell, I loved that recipe.

Yes it’s true. I made a big pot of sausage and chicken gumbo and served it over rice. I forgot to bookmark the recipe but it came out fabulous.

@MMarciano,
I know! Every parent is looking forward to September and start of school.
We (mothers) used to go celebrate right after drop off....

Routine is so important for any child, I am glad you're exercising that.

jcboy, your gumbo looks so good, done like a native Louisianan....

Cherries are in season now and they're so sweet and juicy. I made Clafoutis - easy to make, not too sweet and delicious. (not my picture)

@CalamityJane,
Tonight we’re all going out for dinner.

Last night Alicia chose what she wanted for dinner. She wanted fish sticks with potato salad. Well I wasn’t going to buy frozen fish sticks so I picked up some fresh tilapia filets, breaded them and fried. I didn’t have time to make potato salad and since Gelson’s sells their own and it’s actually very good I used store bought.

@jcboy,
Gelson's! I miss it so. I used to go to the one in Marina del Rey. Do they still sell spinach knishes? It was about six blocks from our house, very walkable except it was a hugely busy intersection filled with aggravating and aggravated drivers. Easier to drive there than chance walking across the intersection.

@farmerman,
Overcook it...


That's what I call madagascar pink rice. I thought that might get a rise. I get it in my store's bulk rice section, where they have some other rices I like too - forbidden black rice, volcano rice, bhutan red, etc.

@ossobuco,
I never really got into th fine points of ric'es. When I was in the orient, their ideas of "breakfast" (at least at hotels) was the large central table with many kinds of rice, some sticky, some with a sweet liquid, others with a bit of a spice that went well with the little tiny dried fish an nook mam or (whatever the local fish sauce name ws).
In the US, I am a total nut over wild "rice" (yeh I know its not a real rice) but its so nutty flavored.
Outside of that, Ive forgotten what I was ever exposed to wrt rices.

@CalamityJane,
weve been surviving on cherries for the last month. The new cherry varietals have extended what used to be a two week season when I was a kid, to about 2 months in the summer(our summer)
Sweet cherries of several varieties have made my gullet a total fermentation machine.
They are delicious (and expeditious)

@farmerman,
For anybody curious about these rices, Lotus Foods is one of the purveyors. I figure the rice I get in bulk bins in not among their organics, and they may not even be from Lotus Foods as a source - but many of their Lotus's rices are.
http://www.lotusfoods.com/index.php/farmers/organic-farmers/

To me, the question is do they taste good.
Yes.
There's lots more online about all this.

The Puerto Rican will be making Sunday dinner tonight. I asked him what he’s making and he said I’d find out when it’s served on the table.

Well okay then.

Just hand over the apron, jcboy and take a nap until dinner is ready Wink

@farmerman, I love cherries too and they're so delicious this season - very ripe and juicy.
