What;s On Your Table For Mommy Day Dinner
- Thread starter 1369

Today was a Mediterranean mixed grill.
Opening was arancini (crab and gorgonzola rice balls) and garden salad. Then rosemary/thyme encrusted lamb chops, saffron risotto with mushrooms and spinach, and the main course: whole grilled fish (pompano and sea bass) with a herbed stuffing.
The fish was great, first time I have done a whole fish on the grill, and dead easy. The fillets slid off the bone when done, but there were still a number of pin bones within the pompano fillets. The flavor and texture of the fish is great, but I am not sure worth the extra effort required by the bones.
In addition to my lovely wife and two children, I had my parents over for supper. Everyone commented on how nice the whole fish presented and everything went - so I am judging it a success.

Finshed painting the living room and kitchen during which time I smoked a pork butt.
