What’s cooking?
Haven’t really thought about it yet, to be honest! I’ll probably wait and see what the weather holds, then decide. If it’s cold/rainy and I want to cook indoors, perhaps pizza. If it’s nice enough to grill, probably burgers or dogs with a grillable side and maybe some German potato salad.

Sounds good. I haven’t decided for sure, yet. Wanted to get some ideas from you guys.
These Twinkie Strawberry Shortcakes made me smile. I heard they come in Chocolate now. lol.
So far, all I can think of, is a Caprese pasta salad with fresh mozzarella balls and halved cherry tomatoes.
I am thinking to visit the butcher and buy some short ribs, thick slices of beef liver, some turkey legs and some NY strip …(on sale for $6.99 per pound)…grilling it all up ??? with I don’t know …any sugestions???
Someone else is doing the cooking, I am in charge of getting the box of rose wine. I can do that.

I’ll be at my friends’ party, they have a great terrace and grill which is rare in manhattan. At this point i have a reputation for bringing creative veggie dishes that no one really notices are actually vegan. I’ll probably make a chimmichurri to have as a condiment for veggies that go on the grill (scallions became a surprise hit last year), and i’m still undecided on a few salads.
Definitely this simple cucumber avocado salad, i’ll add in lot of cilantro
Then a more hearty salad either beans or grains, i keep meaning to make this one though i would add more salad greens
And a slaw style thing, dunno about that yet
I’ve made a slaw with ginger/lime for potlucks and cook-outs several times in the last year. People love it and there is never any left. It has a wonderful fresh, light flavor.

TTR, that bean salad with radicchio, etc from Serious Eats is FABULOUS!! I pickle thinly sliced shallots instead of diced red onion and use TJ’s truffled marcona almonds when they have them.

Oooohh, you know there’s this similar slaw that is garnished with peanuts that i have had bookmarked for the right summery meal- this could be perfect! Thanks!
Ooooh, then that’s totally what i will make!
Good call on the TJs marconas, the new upper west side store is an easy bike ride and not yet mayhem so its easy to pop in
Ribs, 2 kinds of potato salad & a couple desserts TBD. We’re invited to a friends.
