My kid's comin' in from the left coast in a few weeks, and the flights are generally late arrival in the mid-west.

I was thinking of some little benedictine sandwiches (pureed cuke and onion with cream cheese and seasonings, try them). Last time I made them added in some smoked kippered herring. I'd also like to add a light salad. Could do boggy's English pea salad, which is a delight, or maybe sticking with the cuke theme and do a cucumber-dill style salad, to be accompanied by a nice cold, crisp white, probably pinot grigio...

Ideas welcome...(except from the crazy alaskan)...LOL

You will have to be more specific...

John

LOL...don't worry, Sweden is not AK...!

Have bacon fried, buy, beg, pick, some home grown maters. Late night BLT's and a cold beer or glass of milk.

Cucumber, tomato, red onion salad. Red wine vinaigrette.

A pan fried steak. With above salad and a beer.

Caprese salad (I like a little balsamic on it too)and a glass of wine.

I'll keep thinking.

Why, thank you...

um, I'm a little in the dark with this one. Up until about 6 weeks ago, she was an avowed veggie eater. Then, she tells me she ate some chicken breast. Then I heard from her sister she is having turkey breast sandwiches for lunch...so, I have to tread carefully...don't think meat is on the menu...??!!??

Toss the bacon, add avocado.

Black bean, corn, and jicama salad. See my Viva Las Vegas thread.

White bean and tuna salad?

Try my fried green tomatoes and sopas

excellent...was thinking of coring tomato, quartering not quite all the way through so it would sit opened up, then stuffing with tuna salad...eh

P.S. There won't be any cooking or frying, this needs to be in the fridge before I head to the aeroporto!

along those same lines serve shrimp salad in avocado halves with sweet grape tomatoes and baby greens on the side. Maybe pair with some small fruits and a nice white wine with some shredded cold chicken. That would also go great with your mini cuke sandwiches.

Publix bakes a great english muffin bread that also works well for toast the next day. Have them slice it thin.

A steamed artichoke with lemon butter might be nice!

Sherbert afterwards!

All of this can be prepared ahead of the visit,

Goodness what have we become??

BTW deviled eggs are now all the rage in this area. Served with pig candy and watercress!!

A bunch of poofters if the menus are any indication.

well you guys started it. YOU included!!

I was not this way until I found this joint.

The video is great!! Thanks!!

you're weird

Ha! I've already made that previously for the exact same occasion...and here it is:

You guys are all over it. But, for starters

5 grain crackers with homemade Kalamata olive tapenade

Same 5 grain crackers with 1 fresh basil leaf each, pickled ginger, homemade crab or smoked fish spread, pepper jelly

.......

Oh, and Sean's cucumber, tomato, and red onion salad with olive oil and balsamic.

Can't get enough of it right now. May have something to do with the heat.

okay someone please put it up so we can sticky up top!!

You old poofter you!!

After Mathmans video post, I want nothing to do with anything labeled "a sticky"!

YES I want

great ideas...thanks, dirt

okay...pasties!!

And the discourse quickly plummets down to mathman's level...

Having a great laugh here tonight, David!
Thanks to Margarine Man for an inspiring post tonight.


Cucumbers, referee peeled and chopped. Red onion, a sweet flat one, coarsely chopped and in one inch ribbons. Preferably home grown tomatoes in a course dice. Plenty of kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper. Red wine or balsamic vinaigrette. With the red wine, maybe a little Dijon mustard and capers, but just a little.
Toss and let soak up vinaigrette for ten to twenty minutes and serve.

So sensitive!

Sean, you just can't leave that margarine schit alone. Funny as hell, though.

Don't encourage him...

I don't need to!

At some point, we may have to let ya off the hook, though.

Somebody has to take up the slack without Keith here.

I'm not mean about, and as he thanked me one time, it's man, not boy!

I really hope your late night meal or extended snack turns out great for you and your daughter.

Sean, no no no. Keith will continue the whip as soon as he gets back.

I'm glad you fiends have it all worked out...

Fried egg sandwich on untoasted squishy white bread with slice of Velveeta/American cheese. 2-3 liberal shakes of Tabasco or Frank's Red Hot.

Cold beer.

Hug.

there's a lot going on there

If she eats fish, why not a salmon mousse and instead of serving on crackers, serve on slices of cucumber? This can even be spread on toast points, etc. but the cucumber is the "low carb" version.

One of my favorite apps during holidays!

Enjoy your time together whatever you choose.

sounds good!

If you want the super top secret recipe, I could find it, I think...if mom doesn't kill me

Of course I want the recipe...your life means nothing to me...

You can PM it...mums the word...most of the other posters in this thread don't deserve it anyway.

(Just when I got this notification, I was going to type 'salmon mousse' in the Bing search window.)

t that hour (assuming wee hours) I would go with an omelet and toasted english muffings.

About 8 hours too soon

?
What is ETA?

well, I spose we could pretend we're in AK and have lunch, maybe go to drive-thru at mickey dee's

Ok, sse, I PM'd the recipe to you. If you do make it, I would be interested in your and your daughter's thoughts...if it passes the test, maybe we can put it up on here.

Wouldn't want to give out a recipe only I enjoy!

Regards

You cut me just then. You cut me deep.

I still hope you have a nice visit!

salmon moose, surf and turf
