I'd keep it simple... I make this (brag, brag) really good marinade so

I'd buy a London Broil and marinate it, slice it into thin strips to serve.

Asparagus tips served with melted butter. Store bought (there are some

REALLY good ones out there) cheesecake for dessert. Champagne

throughout. (You guys know me!!)

For hors d'oeuvres probably again, something simple, maybe just

some plump prawns with hoisin sauce to dip... or since it's Dungeness

season here, some fresh crabmeat and really good crackers.

When's he due in, Butter?

:D

I think your pinto beans must be from the same family as kidney beans, they look pretty similar, do you use them in chilie, kinda what they are most popular for here
