Tonight we are having homemade pizza and salad. I am so happy to finally have a Friday night with no running around.

Tacos. The ground beef is already browned and ready to go. We have ballet on Friday nights and don't return home until 6.

No pasta, but your idea made me google and find this recipe which I think I'll try since I already have leftover cooked rice.Tuna Melt Casserole It is similar to one I know we've liked in the past.

Can someone tell me about these Tuna Tacos that was on yesterday's thread? I'm thinking of Lenten Fridays coming up. Do you just replace the ground meat with fish or do you use a plank of fried fish in the taco?

Excuse my ignorance.

[Edited: Sorry...I meant Fish Tacos. ]

Breakfast was a sort of custardy mixed berry cake. We haven't had lunch yet, but it'll be leftover cheese and zuchinni potatoes.

Fried rice with garlic, ham, and peas for dinner. Probably with spicy broccoli.

We are going out to celebrate my son's 17th birthday.    His pick: German food!

He's a wonderful young man...I wonder if he knows I'm already feeling sad about his departure for college, a year and a half ahead of the event...

It's this casserole based really loosely on a Nigel Slater recipe for a zucchini-potato crisp. The original had sauteed zuchinni and potatoes under a cheese and rosemary crust. I saute (okay, now I nuke) potatoes, and saute some zuchinni. I cut up the potatoes, and fry them with the zuch for a minute, add half a cup or so of veg or chicken stock and a tablespoon of rosemary, stick it in a casserole dish, and sprinkle with cheddar and walnuts or pecans. Bake for about forty minutes. I use about equal parts zuchinni and potatoes.

It really doesn't sound as good as it tastes. If my husband didn't hate onions I'd add diced onion to the zuchinni. I've also made it with cauliflower. It's a good side or main dish.

Cay, I've done it both ways, I prefer grilled or blackened fish with refried beans and all the fixings in a soft shell but I think the traditional California way is fried with coleslaw. Try your favorite style of taco or burrito and sub in shrimp too - delicious!

Now I'm all hungry for Fish Tacos! We're going to have Portobello Burgers instead, though now I'm wondering if I could slice them up and make Portobello Tacos???

We are having homemade pizza and milk shakes.

Re. the fish tacos, I have never had the real thing but my kids love fish sticks baked with some chili powder sprinkle on top, served in a crispy corn tortilla with shredded carrots, lettuce and a sauce made of a mixture of salsa and sour cream. Yuum!!
