Wednesday Night Dinner-First Fuges Family Dinner

This week we had two guests to add to our usual crew of dinner goers, Frannie's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fuges.  They are in visiting from New Jersey and fit in just perfect since this Wednesday Night Dinner consisted of all Jersey Girls!

I decided on a a nice clean and fresh meal, after all my weekends are filled with Melgard's pizza (some of the best in LA) and my own KF Wings!  I started out by checking out the local circular's to see what kind of meat was on sale this week.  This is usually the way I start thinking about Wednesday Night Dinner, because I want to make sure I get the best price and the freshest ingredients.  My food store had Pork Loin on sale and I though perfect,  that is a great start to building a nice fresh, light meal.  I bounced around the internet and was really having a hard time deciding, mostly because I had a serious time restraint this week.  I had 8 people coming to dinner and I'm working till about 6 or 7pm, as I know many people do and I have about an hour commute.  My first thought was the crock pot, but most meals call for it to be in the pot for 6-7 hours, and I am usually gone for at least 10-11 hours.  So my next thought...what is something that I can do most of the prep on Tuesday Night and then just cook the meat on the grill for immediate consumption on Wednesday.  I decided on a Pork Kebab, Hummus, Taziki Sauce, and Roasted Peppers.  And I made a beautiful fresh Tomato Salad to go with it.  I loved the meal and I have to say my guests did, too!
