My sisters are coming for a visit and gettng in kind of late I think, so tonight will be basically a Chinese style Pho with Hoisin chicken, veggies and steamed chicken buns.
I have some frozen Alaskan Salmon in the freezer so some point over the weekend I was thinking of Bouilliabase or some other seafood meal.

Smothered thick cut, bone-in pork chops with a mushroom buttermilk gravy, mashed russets, steamed green beans and fresh onion rolls. It's really getting cold here tonight and I'm in the mood for comfort food. And wine.

We had seabass in a rosemary and lemon flavoured wholemeal crust, drizzled with EVOO and cooked quickly in the oven, served with spinach and fine beans.

Tonights meal is...

Swedish style meatballs with a sour cream and mushroom sauce, mashed potatoes and either sauteed spinach w/tarragon and shallots, Broccoli with cheese sauce or both. Probably both since I'm really the only one that like cooked spinace in something other than a dip.

Well, the meatballs smell done so.....Later

Ugh, it's RAINING here (I'd rather be outside than inside) so tonights meal will take the rain into consideration. That means warm and savory with a lot of comfort food atmosphere while trying to be at least 3 stars (ask me about my "stars" ratings).

So, for din din we're having:

Beef Roulade (traditional style with brown mustard and minced dill pickles) in a red wine pan sauce;
Oven roasted summer squash, mashed and served with REAL butter (not that fake whipped veg oil/water stuff) and seasoning;
Brussel sprouts (because we need the vitamins ya know - besides we like 'em);
Chocolate cake with white buttercream icing and Peppermint lattice with coffee (decaf) for dessert.

Should be 3 stars... maybe 4 but I'm thinking it's really only 3.

My "What the heck am I going to do with leftover homemade caesar dressing" sandwich

Two slices of plain whole wheat bread
butterflied chicken breast
cheddar cheese
raw lettuce dressed with a bit of dressing
sauteed king oyster mushrooms
spread bread with caesar dressing.

Reconstituted cardamom and saffron rice pudding.

I also just discovered how nice fried slices of those mushrooms were as a snack... like chips, but al dente.

Panini, your wife's sauce sounds wonderful. I JUST found a source close by for Greek yogurt. I am one happy camper!!! It's FAGE brand. If only I could eat honey, I'd be in heaven reliving my trip to Greece- ahhh, yaourti mi meli. Hard to believe it's fat free, 80 calories for a 5.3 ounce cup.

I didn't cook tonight (had a dinner to attend tonight), and last night was "fridge fest" (leftovers). Before that I made some yummy braised pork chops with shallots and mushrooms in a sauce of white wine, Dijon mustard and a jolt of balsamic vinegar. Easy-peasy and delish.

Today
I lucked out and found some cloned T-Bones marked down at Sams. I'm also trying that new corn that is grown to taste like chili, had to pay 2 bucks an ear, didn't mind though, the red and yellow stripes are neat and being shaped like a foot is cool.

Tonight we are finalizing our annual mudbug, gumbo, Mardi Gras party. It's on Feb 18, and anyone who reads this is invited. We usual see about 70-90 people throughout the day.

Hey Pan!

That's ohhhh sooooo tempting but Colonial Heights is just a bit too far from Bourbon Street west. Plus we are replaceing both HVAC systems in the house this week and.... OUCH!!!!! Ya know we were just talking today that there seems to be allot of "old money" around us. Then there are a couple with "new money". Then there's us with "no money" After 15 years of home ownership I have come to the conclusion that a house is nothing more than a boat on a foundation.
Okay enough of the side track back to the good food.

I did want to add that this thread has really done wonders for what it is we eat more often.
