Why didn't I start grilling sooner?

Tonight I made dinner for a friend who recently had a baby. A few days ago I asked Steve what I should make, and he replied, "Chicken Ceasar Salad would be good." I know that is because he wanted chicken ceasar salad, but no matter. I grilled up some free-range chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and olive oil, chopped some romaine (part from our farm share, part from the store), dumped in a metric butt load of parmesan/romano, threw in a bunch of croutons, and tossed it all with a yummy dressing. I cut the chicken into bite sized pieces, and ours was still warm when we ate it. Served with a half a baguette, mmmmm. I hope the Kuznetsov's liked it too. Theirs was delivered with some oatmeal/coconut/peanut butter cookies that I made yesterday.

OK... but be warned they are not very sweet. I would substitute sweetened coconut for the unsweetened, and double the amount of brown sugar, and/or ice them with a confectioner's sugar icing. They were also very flat or thin. You could make them in a smaller pan and get a bigger cookie.

PB-Oatmeal Bars
1/2C butter, softened
1/2C packed brown sugar
1/2C peanut butter
1 egg
2/3C flour
1/2tsp baking soda
1/2tsp baking powder
1/4tsp salt
1C quick cooking rolled oats
1C flaked coconut

Cream butter and sugar; blend in peanut butter and egg. Stir flour with soda, baking powder, and salt; stir into creamed mixture. Stir in oats and coconut. Spread in a greased 13 x 9 inch baking pan. Bake at 350 about 20 minutes. Cool. Cut into bars.
