Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Supper -- what are you cooking?

[scotra]

Hi Folks,

Being counter seasonal in the southern hemisphere, and enjoying the start of a miiiild winter - Night before last was chicken thighs on a bed of sauteed onion, scattered with lemon and olives, then roasted after being basted with preserved-lemon infused chicken stock.

Last night was a simple vietnamese inspired stirfry of beef and veges - one day I'll learn that a home stirfry in the quantities I need turns into a stew every time, even on the bbq's work burner.

And this afternoon after soccer my daughter and I have turned out a butterscotch apple spice cake. (well, it's still in the oven). And my partner and I are going out to one of Brisbane's best restaurants with one of her old friends - hope it lives up to the reputation.

This afternoon we are going out flying so I made dinner early ...
Leeks, potatoes and Gruyere Fritata. I did not have a fritata pan so I used my wok to do it the hard way...

Humm, that looks delicious elizabethbryce@


Tonite another filet mignon , rather big 380 grams & a papillote of vegetables, dipping bernaise sauce, and one glass of red wine

Tonite, plain hamburgers on the BBQ & french fries

Have a nice dinner everyone & a nice evening

Sunday supper was spinach and mushoom salad with a tomato, bleu cheese vinaigrette, home made cheese ravioli (again with the freezer) with meat sauce and asiago cheese bread. That was fresh.

The evening snack was beef tacos, refired beans and some fresh cantelope melon. Weather here has been close to the 100's last three days so supper was the biggest meal we've had in a couple days.

Taking a break from the freezer stuff so tomorrow is TK beef kebobs, steamed rice and steamed cauliflower. I'm sure the DD will want her's smothered in Velvetta....the cauliflower that is

Yum, homemade ravioli

Highs here have been 60-70, a cool wet Spring so far. I've taken advantage of that by having some dandelion greens from my back yard, freshest greens I can get right now, and they are good. I got some great suggestions

Tonight is bratwurst sausages fried with garlic and onions and a few chunks of courgette, then boiled in half a bottle of good quality beer. Just before serving pop in a handful of chopped parsley.

Serve with tomato relish: onions, garlic, chillie sauce, chopped tomatoes and mashed or boiled potatoes.

Even though it's getting dang near a 100 out there already, a big helping of an Italian Version of Beans'n'Greens........Pasta Fragioli with chopped Escarole. Extra spicy too

[RPMcMurphy]

i'm thinking about something I can grill up quickly. Not sure what yet though!

Is making a chicken/greens/lettuce salad from leftover KFC chicken pieces yesterday be considered cooking? That is what I am serving tonight...if I want DH to be lucky, he might have some pasta alfredo with that too?

[Ninja_59]

To hot to cook inside tonite, so a papillotte ( mixed fresh vegetables wrapped in aluminum foil ) cooked on the BBQ

[RPMcMurphy]

said screw it and tried out a Brazillian BBQ place on Main st. in my town...told him to give me a taste of everything he had. Ended up with 18$ worth of some pretty good stuff.

2.6 lbs worth to be exact, at 6.99 a lb.

have about half left over for the love when she gets home later tonight.

I took some pictures ill post in a bit.

Took waaay longer than I wanted to accomplish a couple out door projects. Man was it hot! 96 in the shade!! These meds I'm on just don't like too much heat so it's the easy way out tonight.....Called in a Chinese Take out. The DW is picking it up on the way home from the DD's GirlScout meeting.

I've got a couple of pork tenderloins marinating in olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and herbs (dry oregano and basil), salt and pepper. They'll go on the grill when DH calls to say he's on the way home. 30 minutes later they'll be grilled and rested, ready for dinner. The side will be simple asparagus.

The leftover pork will either be used tomorrow in an Asian-style salad or frozen for use later in a salad or maybe a quick version of hot and sour soup.

Yesterday I picked up a bottle of wonderful EVOO from Crete, and tonight I'm making a traditional Greek salad for dinner.
