A Few Dinner Thoughts

Gorgeous weather settling in here in Boulder, and this week's specials aren't inspiring me in any other direction but grilling. Salmon is great grilled, and I still have a freezer full of Copper River, and Sprouts also has Alaskan sockeye for $8.99/lb this week. If I opt for a big soup instead, think it will be Whole Foods' salmon chowder.

Some of the Harris Ranch steaks on sale at Sunflower are definitely going to make it onto the grill, accompanied by a fennel and leek gratin that unfortunately doesn't have a link. Many steaks to choose from, including New York steaks at $4.97/lb for bone-in ($6.99/lb boneless) and ribeyes $6.99/lb bone-in, $8.99/lb boneless. Saturday the high should be around 55, and the days are light a little longer (even more so when we hit Daylight Savings on the 14th), so fire up the grill.

To compensate for the steaks, vegetarian then sounds good. I was impressed with the quinoa risotto with mushrooms and thyme I tried a few weeks ago when Whole Foods had quinoa on sale. Since I stocked up at the sale, that sounds like a good idea, unless you're looking for a lavish dinner to celebrate the Academy Awards.

Meanwhile, it's too nice outside to sit inside and blog, so more ideas to follow later.
