Tonight...I outdid myself. Dry-rub sirloin steak with fresh fruit salsa, lemon couscous, summer squash carpaccio salad, and strawberry breeze pie had everyone exclaiming and cleaning their plates. Saturday I will have another chance to top even that. For the father/daughter banquet we are having mixed greens with avocado and fruit, sirloin steak with hunter sauce, risotto-style mushroom barley, honey-balsamic green beans with onions and walnuts, rosemary wheat rolls, and petite cheesecakes. Imagine that. We're having steak twice in one week! I don't know how I'm ever going to live up to that.
