Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Supper -- what are you cooking? - Page 36  

my old favourite tonight:

chopped up chorizo - pan fried with a little garlic and some cherry tomatos. then run through some strips of pasta.

i usually serve it on a bed of spinach leaves and finish with some chopped fresh basic.

delicious!

Breaky was salami and cheese on white
Lunch - cup-a-soup at the desk
Dinner - feeling the urge for offal...probably cheesy mustard mash with peas, and lamb kidneys in red wine creamy gravy.

pan fryed striped bass with a lite corn flower breading. on a bed of sticky brown rice. shitalky mush. Any way to be able to make them crispy? i tried a few time and they absorbed too much oil.
and the sauce was a coconut milk with red wine vin. lite pinch of brown sugar, and drops of fish sauce.
the sauce was the best part of it and went awesome with thai basil.
the fish would have been better if it was a halabut or something sporty with a semolina breading.
i was thinking of making this all day.

dunno yet.
the steak I bought for the philly cheesesteaks last night was expensive and full of gristle.
I have to find the container and receipt so I can take the rest back.
we'll see what I end up with in its' place

sauage rosmery sage with white wine sauce made with wine. coconut milk, and egg yoke, oh and a dash of viniger.
how does one fry up mushrooms to make them crispy? bake them after

Ok I will bite, and join in the long discussion about what we're cookin...

Where it says grill - smoked i.e. potatoes, I smoke the tators with some meat that I'm smoking, they have a variety of seasoning, either med/small red or yukon gold type. Keep them in the fridge for cooking later that week. Reds I cut in half and brush with EVOO season and grill. The Yukon type I cut into steak fries, EVOO season and grill.

last night it was a tri tip on the grill(perfect) sticky rice firm and NYT's bread.
Tonight it will be a salad.

Chicken Balti, Pilau Rice and Peshwari Naan bread.

Friends invited me over for supper last night for deep fried wings, sweet corn, pasta salad, and sliced tomatoes that were picked 10 minutes before we ate. Tomorrow night I am going to grill a turkey over there.

Meeting a friend for dinner.
I'm thinking we'll do the Sonoma Chicken Coupe

its a birthday dinner for my father. everyone gets off late, so i'm thinking probably something quick and lite. some coleslaw. and i'm thinking on squid but dont know how to do it up. some sort of poch/ ceviche. thats safe to serve to a pergnant woman, right?

I picked the first ripe beefsteak tomato today so BLT's were a must!

I found a box of unopened RyeKrisp in the pantry.
I thought of doing the BLT quiche [off the box from a hundred years ago, soooo good]:lol: but decided to do pasta and sauce instead.
cake and salad too.

Pasta and sauce, huh? That narrows it down to about a million things :D

Been going thru the pantry and freezer----there are too many possible combos...Yikes! Might keep it simple and go for chicken schnitzel burgers with mayo, melted cheddar and iceburg lettuce. Then some sliced peaches and strawberry yoghurt for afters.

It's lazy night here... leftovers!! We had visitors from Holland last week and I made a huge dinner that generated some leftovers that have to be used up.

So tonight we are having

Waikiki Meatballs (leftovers...lol)
rice
corn

Tomorrow will be something in the crockpot for sure as we're taking the kids to Toronto for the day.

hey I didn't say it was original.:o
it was good, actually really good.
the cake was lovely too, hubby liked it a lot.

tonight, hoping he takes me out to dinneau.:beer:

I love pasta. All I meant was that it's unlimited what you can do with it :D

Grilled halibut on a risotto milanese (seafood stock no cheese) with sauted yellow and zucchini squash.

He called on his way home to say "meet me here for dinner, 15 minutes".
I said no thanks honey, come home for "dogs in beds" & "cheese under the sheets". The cake a hit again tonight.

Said he liked the "unusual for his wife" dinner making hot dogs & mac and cheese :)

Was gonna do bbq kangaroo sausages and bbq'd marinated chops with big tray of roast veg with thyme, rosemary & EVOO....but the rain won't stop :(

Sending out for fish n chips :) Nice healthy alternative.

(Oh gimme a break, we're trying to plan our house move from Tas to Victoria....stressful enough without cooking tea).

We did have cooked breaky...turkey burgers in turkish rolls...lunch was soup and crusty bread - again, from yesterday but added to. Its winter here and cold n nasty.

When I lived in a house with a garage, I'd use the gas grill year-round, in the garage, with the door open.

For lunch I didn't cook, but I had one of the legendary burritos from Nearly Normal's, a vegetarian restaurant here in Corvallis. Black beans, green peppers, tomatoes, scallions and salsa wrapped in a whole wheat flour tortilla and topped with melted cheddar and jack cheese, sour cream and lettuce, and surrounded with their "enchilada sauce". They're served on a plate and you need a fork to eat one. They are so good even if they're not authentic.

cooked from a bunch of Rick Bayless recipes tonight all on the grill. Grilled lobster tails with a garlic/chipotle sauce/marinade, chicken with escabeche, and some grilled corn with some mexican cream and quesa fresco.

edys caramel cone ice cream.

Hey RP what about the pictures you used to post here? Those were great.

I got em' postem tomorrow morning.

I also sipped a nice reposado tequila a friend bought back from Mexico ;)


been really busy with Marathon training, that I haven't been cooking anything "Exciting" much.

Had a tasty treat tonight. A few days ago I fellow I know gave me three nice trout he caught that morning at a local lake. Packed in a sugar and salt cure for a few days, did a hot smoke tonight. Yum, yum!

mjb.

some mexican cream and Queso Fresco

what in the "Sam" hill time is dinner?
I'm on my way, :bounce:oh wait, where do you live?:lol:

I'm going to ask my husband to pick up some white corn from the farmers stand tonight on his way home.
Then I'll look in the freezer for my protein of choice.
I want to do something using avocados and/or tomatoes because yesterday I met a very friendly yard or tag sale. Where I bought one of
these
and also found this that I didn't resist. Although I have one or [two] I'm sure one of the kids hasn't gotten one yet and they're invaluable to me when needing to do a really nice slice. So.....................
found a pork tenderloin in the freezer and I'll do that on the barbie tonight.
I'm thinking chipotle and real maple syrup is what I'll marry it in.
watching JP since I have the ingredients for pumpkin gratin, seems easy enough and looks good. I'll do a smaller amount however, it's just husband and I.
vanilla cupcakes with strawberry frosting since the frozen berries from my freezer are taking up too much room and I need to use them up. Husband should be happy and he can take the rest to work tomorrow to share.

6:45 -- central NJ. Just don't be like most our "friends" and cancel last minute! or ask what we are eating BEFORE they decide to come over!

haha.

oh I have way more manners than that.
better yet, just a little favor, could you hop on a plane and bring it here?
I just flew in yesterday and don't want to see another airplane for a few days at least:crazy:the table's set:lol:
