Saturday: Here’s the steak on the BBQ. We had it with the Mac and Cheese plus a zucchini tomato dish.

Sunday: Baked potato soup (no photo available).

Ides of March and St. Patrick’s Day this week.

We have left over pulled pork so BBQ sandwiches on Saturday seems like a good idea. On Sunday, we picked up a corned beef brisket to prepare an Irish meal.

Saturday: Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwiches. This is an old picture. We didn’t actually have the pineapple and Cole slaw. Next time we will again.

Sunday: Corned beef and cabbage with parsnips, carrots, onions and potatoes.

How about a rolled-up chicken entreé for next weekend? Like chicken Kiev or something. Maybe that one with the asparagus spear rolled up . . .

And then the topic of Mexican Food came up on Wednesday . . .

Tostadas

Something Carnitas!
