Menu for tomorrow

So I've settled, I think, on a menu for tomorrow, at least for what we are making: 

I'm doing hummus and bread, a tomato and cucumber and eggplant salad, couscous, red lentil soup, and chicken tagine.  All of this north African inspired.  And, of course, for an American touch, my braised ribs and wings.

For dessert, LOML's made a crustless cheesecake, which may get decorated with blueberries and strawberries to approximate the flag, Old Glory: I'm contemplating making a pineapple and ginger sorbet which got extremely positive reviews from a friend online the other day: I'll let you know how it turns out.

Yours, in planning and prepping phase,
