Tonight we celebrated our foster son's desire to use some of his glasses for dinner tonight. We will celebrate anything!
The glasses are quite retro so we went retro with dinner. We started with shrimp cocktail, with the sauce in the bottom of the glass. No double dipping!
The other retro meal item was chicken with rice in Campbell's Cream of Hotdish soup. I couldn't do all retro though, and had to marinate it first in Jamaican Jerk Sauce.
Bert and I had Australian Riverland Reserve (Aussie River in our house) with it, and the foster son had sparkling grape juice. It was a great meal and everyone here ate well.

Did the shrimp cocktail attack you and make you sing and dance to "Day-O"?

Today I decided I needed a nap and sat with cat on lap in the recliner while watching The Barefoot Contessa on The Food Network. She made a yummy looking potato salad as I drifted off to sleep and I thought I should try it. It's not only a great potato salad recipe, it's also what we had for dinner tonight. Menu was, Potato Salad, chilled boiled eggs and salad shrimp with cocktail sauce, all served on a bed of lettuce from our garden. Mmm.... And, it was served with Domaine Des Brumes, an excellent red wine. The wine is solid enough that it stood up to the cocktail sauce and the boiled eggs. Link to potato salad recipe at bottom of post.

PWP, I've missed your WofW.
Glad you are back.

That looks good PWP. We are having a little family over tomorrow for an
early 4th party and my wife made a kick-ass macaroni salad with grilled
red peppers in it and shrimp and a pesto sauce. That will accompany
T-bone steaks, corn on the cob on the grill and baked potatoes on the
grill.

Dang Wade! I'm working the wrong job! What time is dinner? Of course, this is between you and me, and maybe Bert. I'm sure that no one else on the forum would show up. Makes all that sweating worth the while!

Once again the Food Network has inspired a meal for us. Ramona reminded me to post but the weekend meals didn't work out as originally planned with all we had going on here, so Monday is Wine of the Week day.
Bert and I watched Bobby Flay Throw Down (don't you just love Bobby?!)last night against 2 brothers in New Orleans. Muffaletta was the subject and after going to 2 different grocery stores today I got all the ingredients I needed. Well worth the effort. Bert was in charge of wine selection, and since there was a good deal of cheese in the sandwiches, the Carl Sittman Riesling was just the thing to complient the meal. MMmmmm...
