Last night I didn't want to spend a lot of time cooking, so I made omelettes. It was one of those hunt-through-the-fridge-to-see-what-we-have days. I decided to add chili powder to the cheddar randomly, and it was really good. It surprised my husband, who loves eggs. and thought it would just be eggs and cheese. (I also beat the egg whites separately for a long time on a whim and it made them fluffy!!) Tonight, chocolate crepes with rasberries, strawberries, and whipped cream. mmmmmmm....

Dear Mezzaluna:

Thank you so much for your kind words and for the wonderful memories that you brought back to me!

last night after work it was two toasted pieces of boule with cream cheese and some cracked black pepper and a kettle one with cranberry and a lime

I'm going to Patina tonite. Very good food. I'm finally going out on a date after about two years. Had a girlfriend but she left me. Better her than me.

[SeattleDeb]

Oh, a date! <trying to remember what a date is>...have a wonderful evening Chef David!

The only thing for dinner here so far is the Rich Buttermilk Honey bread baking....

Looking for a sheepish grin icon...I made cheater's chili verde! Had a pork roast that I had bought on sale in the freezer, defrosted, then browned in olive oil, lots of pepper, chopped up some garlic from the jar of garlic with jalapenos, some onions, and added all to my crock pot. Then I added some chicken stock...and a few cans of Herdez brand chili verde sauce or salsa...3 I think so the roast was fully immersed in liquid. Put it on low for about 8 hours, by then the meat just wants to fall off the bone, hubby cubed it, put the cubes back in the sauce overnight in the fridge.


So...<tail between legs> that's my cheaters version!

Deb, thanks for the recipe. I'll try it and see if it works as well for me.

Well, we had Gritty Wild Mushroom Risotto(See thread in Cooking Questions) with a salad of romaine, feta cheese, cherry tomatoes, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The rest of the week it has been Schwan's. I've been pretty busy with my day job.

"lift your chopsticks"

Uhhhh...tomorrow I am having dinner at the home of one of my new friends. I am going to be working for her pretty soon like I said before in one of my other posts. When I come home tomorrow, I will try to remember to let you know what we had for dinner. I can remember things when I promise I will, but if I am tired, I usually don't remember until too late. So we shall see what happens! hehe

Tonight it was a Sweet sour pork Trotters.
Cut by the chinatown butcher into chopstick manageable pieces. Then into cold water, to soften skin and fuzz for a shave with old razor.
Fully cover with cold water, brought to the simmer to get rid of scum and excess fat,
rinse with hot tap water then cold water, a final clean up shave.

2 pcs 1/4" flatted ginger roots into hot oil in thick bottom pot, add ginger then 'dry'
trotters to lightly braise,
when aromas leaave the pot, add two capful Rum or brandy, then dark soy sauce,, also oyster sauce, some chilli, salt , sugar and vinegar and water to about 2/3 depth of trotters. optional, star anisssed and fermented black beans.
Simmer till soft and little gooey, thickly cut (diagonallly) spring onions and coriander gives it the finishing touch.
Good with plain white rice.

leftovers, better still after a few days.
