Another idea: Just grill chicken and your favorite veggies spritzed with EVOO, chopped garlic, Kosher salt, and freshly ground pepper (as per my avatar). Yum!
Of course, if I were at the beach, I'd substitute fresh fish for the chicken. We eat so much chicken that we cluck because we try to minimize our consumption of red meat. The fish that is available here is awful.
BTW I am totally grossed out by the recent videos of the mistreated cattle. My engagement ring was paid for by my husband's summer jobs at Oscar Mayer in Wisconsin. He worked in beef kill. He says that he never saw animals in the condition documented in the videos while at Oscar Mayer. On the contrary, the cattle were so healthy that they were difficult to round up in order to kill them.
We live in chicken processing country. The chicken trucks come through town with feathers flying everywhere, and the chickens don't look good. Sorry, Doug and David C., I know we were neighbors and carpooled every morning in high school, but your chickens look pathetic. This and the above make me think about becoming a vegetarian.

Ok, BR you've got me convinced. It's tofu for me from now on! 
Super easy vegetarian taco salad! (You can use meat if you like.) Crumble tostadas (heated) on a plate, and top with seasoned chili beans (or crumbled "ground" boca burger; when I use that I season it with taco seasoning and heat it), lettuce, fresh salsa, tomats, sour cream and cheese. That's it! The new latin store, El Mercadito, on 98 by the post office, carries big stacks of tostadas. Publix has good fresh salsa in the veggie cooler. Mmmm!Ok, BR you've got me convinced.

You know, the chickens in Georgia have always really bothered me. I went to college in Macon, and the drive over really made me sad....particularly when I got behind one of the trucks. Those cages they all have to live in their whole lives....it's horrible. Further, I don't think there's any way it can be healthy for us to be eating animals that have never eaten anything but processed food and antibiotics, that have never seen the sun, that have never run around a yard.
I could never be a vegetarian. I wish I could, but I'm allergic to nuts and I can't digest beans or dairy. Too much soy was a common theme among women with breast cancer that I used to work with. When I tried to be a vegetarian in college, I became anemic and fainted twice. Further, I don't have a problem with eating meat, I have a problem with animals having no quality of life before they die.
I wish we could get Kleinpeter milk here, and fresh yard eggs, and free range chickens. I felt so much better about eating those sorts of foods. And, they taste 10 times better.
I miss the NOLA farmer's market so much!
Oh, gosh, that must be a pain. No red beans and rice? No cheese? So sorry. But about the soy, my doctor at The Duke Center for Living told me to drink soy milk to prevent breast cancer.
HA HA HA HA HA!!! mine was.:funn:

I've heard of this before, but unfortunately my mother was a vegetarian for 30 years and ate only tofu and drank tofu milk. I don't think those studies are proven.
Wow. I actually made pancakes tonight!
They look kind of funny (normally Fuzz does the pancakes around here) but they tasted OK. Hit the spot. But for some reason Squirt hasn't eaten. He relies way too much on visual appeal. :roll:
It does appear that I'm going to have to break down and go grocery shopping soon. Oh, and Sears is supposed to come tomorrow to diagnose the microwave! Estimated time: between 8 and 5. :shock:
