For an appetizer we had tomato, basil & fresh mozzarella bruschetta. A classic we never get tired of. On to dinner, first, I made a spicy tomato & red pepper marinara, or Arabiata sauce. Then, we butterflied and pounded out some chicken breasts, layered them with pepperoni, salami, ham and fresh mozzarella. I rolled them up and sewed them back together with toothpicks. Then (I gave in and let him bread them all) we breaded them with garlic bread crumbs and pan fried them in just a bit of olive oil, then finished them in the oven. Along side, we served some parmesan butter noodles. It was SIMPLY DELICIOUS! The best meals we have are the ones he thinks of and I execute to perfection. We make a good team. In the kitchen, and elsewhere!

****Hurrican Ike Update****
Although this massive hurricane did make a disasterous landfall less than 200 miles away, we did not receive one drop of rain or unusual gust of wind. However, I am happy to report that the Blogger Gods were reading and the temperature in central Texas has dropped to a pleasant 80ish degrees. A solid improvement, and I'll take it!
Unfortunately, Ike made his way all the way north and did some serious damage to the electricity in central Ohio. The power has been out since Saturday, came back briefly on Monday (my brother's and grandmother's power stayed on when it came back) but went out four hours later and isn't expected to be restored fully until next Sunday! Both my parents are without power, which means my dad can't work because his office is downstairs and my mom can't dry her hair, which is life-threatening to her. There is no school, no traffic lights, nothing. The first time a hurricane was destructive in Ohio.

Yes! He is wearing a Lorraine's shirt. He loves that thing. So, thanks for providing it. :)
Can't wait for you to have some of those tacos, too. It's exactly what you expect in a taco stand in the barrio. BTW: there is a house for rent in our neighborhood.
