Sounds yummy, DevilNuts.
It's pretty warm here today and quite humid, so I don't feel like grilling outdoors. Tonight we'll have roast chicken with lemon made in the convection/microwave with green beans amandine and iced berry tea.

This morning I had black beans and rice simmered with some chipotles and home made adobo sauce ... nice and spicy and quite filling.

I hope the home cooks (like me) will proudly post their "plain" meals and not worry whether the dish is sophisticated or not. Remember, a lot of trendy restaurants serve meat loaf and mashed potatoes these days.
Let's have a great buffet of wonderful food from all parts of the world, from cooks with all levels of skill, using everyday ingredients as well as "special" ones. 
Mezzaluna | I agree with you. I have made lots of cooking, whether it is International, local or fushion cooking. I have made lots of recipes with the photos I've taken during the experiments. I'd love to share with you all, but I don't know how. Please advise.
I want to share the satay for dinner first, after I got the info of how to put the recipes & photos here.
Many thanks. |

chrose, that sounds awesome!
Tonight I'm going to throw together a chicken/roma/parmesan pasta sauce over linguine noodles. I haven't completey formulated the dish in my head yet and probably wont' until I actually start cooking it. I only have about a pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts to feed all 4 of us so it's gonna be a stretcher meal. I was planning grilled tenderloin but Les, bless his heart, put it in the freezer! GRR!! |

I like a couple of the Trader Joe's sauces. Lunch today will be sone chicken breast simmered in TJ's Korma sauce over brown basmatti rice and a few veggies alongside on the plate.
I usually make up a big batch of rice and freeze it in a couple of zip loc bags laid flat in the freezer, and just break off a chunk when needed. I often punch up the sauces with some spices, chile peppers, maybe add some garlic or onion. If I've planned ahead, there will be some chicken in the fridge that's diced and perhaps partially cooked. The whole meal can come together in less than ten minutes. Good Everyday Eats.

Lol, all I had was microwaved chicken taquitos and a roast beef sandwich.  We haven't been able to go to the grocery store lately becuase our car was infested with ants. Literally, infested. The car's clean now, thankfully. For some reason, the summer heat is making me lazy. I think I'm just going to do a basic, fuss-free, roasted tenderloin, with maybe some Yukon gold mashed potatoes on the side for tomorrow's dinner. Nothing special. I'll probably just do a really simple brine for the pork - water, honey, salt, bay leaves, grated onion, and slightly crushed black peppercorns as well as a hint of fresh garlic. (A hint of fresh garlic in my opinion is around 4-5 cloves) Brine the pork tenderloin for a few hours, and just place it in the oven while I mash up a few potatoes with sour cream, garlic, butter, cream, and a dash of salt and pepper. Nothing fancy, but it's sure delicious...

| |  Another Simple Dinner
Sauteed some broccoli crowns and cauliflower florets in a local EVOO (Bariani) and unsalted Irish butter with a chopped clove of garlic. I let the butter brown a bit, and let the veggies caramelize a little. Added some chopped green onions, a little smoked sea salt and a little bit of cracked Balinese long peppers ... turned out to be very flavorful as well as quick and easy.

Tonight is clean out the fridge night. I'm making a pasta sauce with loads of garlic, sliced mushrooms, green onions, kalamata olives, nubbins of parmesan and other cheeses, the last of a roasted chicken, and pesto.
Salad-whatever is in the crisper-the last of a loaf of wheat bread topped with garlic butter and parmesan. I really hate to use up that great cheese. It's the first time I've had the real thing-not American.
Gee whiz, now I'm getting hungry and I'm still at work.
