What's for dinner?

[rivka]

Tonight we're having shrimp quesadillas. Pre-cooked shrimp, sliced lengthwise to make them skinnier; red pepper strips and tomatillo slices sprinkled with cumin and salt and pepper, brushed with oil, and broiled; grated cheddar and jack cheeses; and a little salsa, all layered into flour tortillas and broiled until the cheese melts.

I think that alongside we'll have corn on the cob and a green salad.

What's for dinner at your house?

Wow - that sounds amazing! I'll have to try making it sometime soon.

I actually modified the above recipe slightly. When it came time to broil the vegetables, I mixed a little olive oil, a splash of lime juice, and some cumin, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper in a bowl and tossed the vegetables with that. Then, while the vegetables were in the broiler, I swished the halved shrimp through the leftover spiced oil. Everything held the flavors really well.

Your ribs dinner sounded just incredible. Misha has very strict beliefs about barbecue, being from Memphis, but everything you described sounded fantastic to me.

Thanks! Hopefully I'll get to cook for you someday (and vice versa...)
