Random Tash

I wanted something spring-like for dinner since it is now spring!  (as of 2:32 pm today!)  I popped into the local up-scale grocery store and headed for the meat counter.  My BBQ is not working (it needs a INTENSIVE clean).  But I wanted meat anyway.  Which is strange, as I am not a big meat eater.  But meat reminds me of summer??

I found these delicious looking things.  They are pork, wrapped around a mozzarella, parmesan, spinach and ham filling.  I picked up one for me and one for Tim for $8.  Not bad!

Here is one of them raw, pre-oven.

The sides have bread crumbs on them.

And here is the cooked product:

And here is what I ate with it:

Vegetable orzo salad (pre-made and bought at Pete’s), sundried olives and a side salad of spring mix, red onion, Jarlsberg cheese and avocado, dressed with balsamic vinegar.  Plus a bottle glass of chardonnay.

It was good, but I could only eat 1/2 the pork.  I just don’t like meat that much.  The orzo salad was a big hit with both me and Tim and will be a summer staple!

We wrapped up the meal with a small piece of dark chocolate and spent an extra half a hour just sitting at the table drinking wine and chatting.  I plan on a lazy Saturday night and will probably head to bed early.
