@GenXmuse,

I'm glad to know that you are still posting; that you just changed your nic!  I often wonder whether personal challenges, loss of interest, etc. precipitated the departure of posters who were so active on this forum.  These posters were such a valuable resource for expanding our culinary knowledge and experiences. 

I'm very grateful for the current posters because they, too, offer great and tasty dishes for us to attempt.  Most of the recipes seem easy to prepare as well. 

I was hoping that the recipe using limoncello would not be for a dessert and you delivered!  I have had limoncello over ice-cream and limoncello cake.  I look forward to sampling it in the Herb BBQ Chix Thighs.  And I am imagining your Easy Tomato Salad with Tarragon Pesto recipe would be adaptable as toppings on a pizza crust.  I thought it was a pizza when I first glanced at the photo.

I guess my imagination is working quite well this morning because I was almost salivating over the photo that looked to me to be bbq ribs which is actually your recipe for Grilled Ginger Miso Glazed Eggplant.  Boy, do those eggplants look delicious!!!

Thank you for these three recipes.  I plan to sample them all once my health issues allow me to get back in my kitchen.
