Friday Night Dinner - when it's too hot to cook!

Yesterday I had a horrible day at work! Just horrible. It was one of those days that I really wish I was not there and seriously thought about just walking out. There were lots of numbers that didn't make sense (literally), and everyone seemed to be having the same problems. We decided it was Friday the 13th's fault! By the time I rode my broom out of there at 4 pm, I didn't have enough brain cells to even remember my own phone number.... I stopped at the Store of Hope, which is run by the local Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) and hosted by my 'best friend', Mary. After viewing the items made by the incarcerated 'youngsters', I got back on my broom and headed to the hacienda.... Just one more stop - at the GROCERY STORE. Now I had no idea what I really wanted for dinner, only that it was more important for me to have a HUGE glass of something to guzzle than to cook. I ended up with this: A. Appetizer (Antipasta): Antipasto platter, which consisted of provolone cheese, hot cappicola (shaved slices), proscuitto, Italian dry salame, bleu cheese stuffed olives, provolone and mozzarella cheeses with baguette rounds.....and frozen pina coladas. B. Main course(Prima): Homemade caesar salad - Romaine (cut, not torn) tossed with REAL caesar dressing (egg yolk, garlic, anchovies, lemon, worcestershire, with olive oil whisked in) and topped with croutons and Parmesan. I realized I didn't have any croutons, so I took that baguette loaf (still had some left) and cubed it - tossed the bread cubes with a little garlic oil and baked them in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. Ta Da! Homemade croutons. While the croutons were baking, I took some shrimp skewers and drizzled olive oil over them and sprinkled a little bit of garlic flavored Old Bay seasoning. They grilled for 5 minutes on each side over low DIRECT gas heat, and topped the salad with them. This was served with a nice cold 'Fish Eye' Chardonnay - of which I had 2+ glasses.... outstanding! C. Dessert (Dolci): I compromised my integrity on this one. Being a baker, I am a snob when it comes to desserts....FRESHLY made desserts. I was too tired to make something, so I broke down and actually PURCHASED cannoli and petit fors. Had Chocolate Cappucino coffee to wash 'em down. All in all, not a bad night, gastronomically speaking. Today I think I shall search for a turntable so I can play my old albums and "45's". Have some Quiksilver Messenger Service and Lobo that I am just dying to hear again!! What's on your agenda for the weekend?
