We share recipes and ask and answer questions from “How do you feed your family at night when you don’t walk in the door until 5:30 and you have a soccer game at 6 and piano lessons at 6:15 ... on opposite ends of town?” to “What’s your Thanksgiving menu this year?” to “Remember that punch you made at Christmas? What was the recipe?” So come on in to our virtual dinner group, pour yourself a glass of wine, and let’s start cooking together.

New Veggie Recipes
I went to a CSA yesterday with a friend to share in her bounty and came home with some swiss chard, okra, tomatillos and bok choy. Anyone have any great recipes for these?
For swiss chard, I love to just saute it in olive oil with garlic, finish it with a little crushed red pepper. YUM!
Okra, gumbo.
I know I've had recipes that called for tomatillos, maybe green salsa and green enchilada sauce?
Bok choy, stir fry.
I bought cranberry-colored shell beans (http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTDlFCn00oVUwSxq4-EnMWBLujPsblUp_xyZ9V2bibBGHHvZmg&t=1&usg=__S_9rF8lqksWTf1FDBd9AgIdY8JY=) at the farm yesterday. They're beautiful, and I was curious. Anyone ever tried them? Any recipes?
