Bringing Up Sunday Dinner on Monday Night
Lemon Oregano Chicken Scaloppine: Excellent.
This is “healthy”? This is good. The sauce was helped by fresh Rutgers tomatoes from Pat’s vegetable garden and fresh oregano from her herb garden. Only thing we’d have changed was to make it thicker.
Pat takes care with her tomatoes. Besides the usual feeding and weeding, we can recommend underwatering during a dry summer like this one. Resulted in stronger flavor.
Triple-chocolate Cranberry-Oatmeal cookies: a past favorite, back for an Excellent encore. Differences this time — we used frozen cranberries from Wegman’s in the dough and baked them on silicone cookie sheets, which were a birthday gift for me this year.
Wine: Omaka Springs Sauvignon Blanc 2004. Wine Spectator gave this a 90? We would do the same if it was on a scale of 1000. I don’t speak wine-ish, so plain English will have to do: Yech. Disagreeable flavor and scent. Hated it. Did we get a bad bottle?

Since Sunday dinner went well, anytime you wish to cook for us will be welcomed. (Don’t let distance be a problem.) We’re sort of easily satisfied with a good dinner. Of course, you’ll need to make special provision for Dino and Pebbles - especially Pebbles. They would like a taste of dinner with limited seasoning. Anything with chocolate will satisfy me.
