[Kathleen]

We had traditional tuna casserole made with shells instead of standard macaroni. Pretty yummy! Chocolate pudding for dessert. What is on your plate?

I made stuffed vegetables tonight-zucchini, portobellos and cubanelle peppers. Stuffing was ground pork with onion and garlic, chopped mushrooms, the scooped out center of zucchini, tomato and Penzey's Turkish seasoning.

I've got a chicken on the rotisserie, just a rotating now. Oddly, this is the first whole chicken I've ever bought that came without a tail? Curious, but I don't need it. Anyway, we'll have that chickie with some mashed taters and white corn. 'Nuf said.

I had a stressful afternoon, trying to deal with a loyalty program, both by phone and on their website. It left me in no mood for cooking. So, we ordered Greek food. Pretty much a rerun of what we had a couple of weeks ago: a pork gyro platter with roast Greek potatoes, rice pilaf, a salad, and tzatziki. Also, a couple of chicken gyro pitas. That was very good, but too much food. We have leftovers, again.

I baked some zucchini for an hour, little pieces, to reduce the moisture, mixed those with cooked onions and peppers, served with tomato mushroom sauce on ww pasta.

We had hot dogs, potato chips with ranch dip, salad, mandarin oranges, and dark chocolate for dessert.

A special meal I cooked for guests the other day. I think they enjoyed it, plates were all emptied!

First course: Fresh pasta (Fusilli - not homemade!), with sausage mince, mushroons, porcini, a dash of tomato salsa, covered in a bechamel sauce, lots of parmesan cheese, then 20 minutes in the oven for an "au gratin" effect. Forgot to take a photo!
Second course : "Tasca di vitello ripiena", which apparently translated into English, is called "stuffed brisket"?, with side vegetables (sautéed peppers, zucchini, aubergines) .
Dessert : My daughter's homemade Tiramisù, forgot to take a picture!

I made this. I cut the recipe in half. I also cooked in a cast iron skillet instead of grilling and added a few dashes of liquid smoke to the chicken before cooking. It was delicious!

What can I sub for goat cheese? I really don’t care for goat cheese.

Maybe cream cheese?

Have you ever tried a really mild goat cheese? They are generally marked as such. I hated feta the first couple of times I tried it, but then I saw some marked as either mild feta or mild chevre, tried it and developed a taste for goat cheese.

I love both. My husband doesn't like feta but likes goat cheese. He really likes it now after eating that chicken dish! I think the sauce cuts through the richness and tang of the goat cheese quite well.

I need to go get some good dry marsala wine and make the copycat of their chicken marsala too. I love their chicken trio. It's gone up $10 a plate since I first had it. I haven't been there in a long time.

How about fresh Moz? Will it be different, sure. So what? If you like it...

Or burrata?

Maybe one of those Allouette garlic and herb cheese spreads.

I think that sounds nice, depending on what kind of herbs are in it? I haven't had one of those in a long time, are they very salty? If so you might have to adjust the salt level in the sauce.
