Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Supper -- what are you cooking? - Page 47  

lol thanks for the 'encouragement' teamfat

They rested, they poofed, they got doused in yummy gravy and for some reason there are no leftovers.  Crispy tasty goodness.

I officially am a fan of Yorkshire puddings.

edit:  and oh, thanks again to BDL for having posted such helpful advice in threads-gone-by 

Charron,

As promised.  Here's my interpretation and explanation of The One, The True, The Original, and The Real Version of Fettuccine Alfredo.

I finally found the missing ingredient to my Tom Kha Gai:  Nam Prik Pao!
So simple, don't know why it eluded me for so long.

So I excitedly made it tonight and it was perfect for a change.
Easy, quick, and delicious.
Might try it with cabbage next time...  Heard about it recently and it sounds like it'd be good.

This weekend I think I'll do a big pot of Minestra d'orzo as the primi piatti, and a frittata al formaggio, funghi, zoccoli as the secondi piatti.

I happened to catch "The best thing I ever ate" and it was on pizza. A couple of things I saw inspired me to make something besides sausage and pepperoni  So I made a thin crust pizza with roasted garlic, olive oil, fresh shitake and oyster mushrooms, some basil, oregano, rosemary, black pepper with Manchego cheese and truffle oil. Mmm mmm good!
I think I shall experiment some more! I especially am enjoying thin crust lately.

That sounds really good, Chrose.  /wipes drool from chin.

It is crazy cold out today so comfort food is on for us tonight; some buttery garlic mashed taters topped with a goulashy mix of ground beef, onions, and mushrooms thickened with as dark a roux as I have patience for.  Something green on the side, I think.  Probably just some peas, or a garden salad.  I'll have to check the fridge. 

Sounds like an upside-down shapard's pie!

 Tonight will be lime and paprika marinated pork chops.  Corn starch, then egg wash(made with light cream rather than water), the panko, and fried in cottonseed oil.  Sides, baked macaroni and cheese, potato/parsnip puree, and grits(hominy polenta, for those not from the American South).


The leftover grits will rest in the fridge overnight and meet their good friends onion, garlic, white pepper, butter, and shrimp.  The real breakfast of champions.

I messed up and didn't go to work on Fat Tuesday.  Missed out on the roast beef po'boy. 
Local store had a sale on blade roast so...
Rolled in salt, pepper, cayenne, browned and thrown in the oven with beef and chicken stock, mire poix, Worcestershire, and whatnot.  Later beef will be stacked on Parisian loaf with mayonnaise and iceberg.  And too much gravy, of course.
Napkins.

Willing to trade some for baked mac & cheese.

Let me know.

mmmh sound so yummy felt hungry while reading you post leaft4bread.. tonight im eating puchero, fried chicken ang lingua cook by my boss.

I cooked corned beef in my pressure cooker yesterday, and blanched some asparagus.  Today I had a corned beef sandwich on a whole grain bun, with the cold asparagus on the side. 

The past couple of months I have craved fresh asparagus.  Is it possible to become addicted? 

I love asparagus. None of it has looked good at the store though so I've been passing it up. I'm ready for artichoke season to get here, I wanna play with them.

Tonight was sushi from work, one order of salmon nigiri and a masago covered California roll. Not very creative, but it was yummy. Curled up on the couch with it and watched some television. I hate Sundays, the last day of the weekend is always so hard.

Odd, isn't it,  since probably it all comes from the same place for both you and me?  Asparagus has been beautiful here in NM,  and this past week it was on sale for 97 cents a pound...less than a third of what we normally see it for.  Lovely, slender, tender stalks with tightly closed heads.  So I bought extra and after blanching,  put some in the freezer.  We're going to be in town today,  so I might get some more.  I love to brush blanched asparagus with olive oil, then put it on the outdoor grill until it's hot through and has nice char marks...I could make a whole meal of it!

Decided to try a Northern Italian Ragu last night. I cut up some chuck roast, a thick slice of pork shoulder, a thick slice of prosciutto. I processed a mirepoix and added that with a cup of beef stock to the pressure cooker and coked the meat for 25 minutes. I drained that and added 28 oz of tomato puree, diced tomatoes and some paste. I added to that some white wine a bay leaf, an italian seasoning mix, some cayenne mix from the garden and italian sausages and cooked that slow for 90 minutes or so. I used the drained liquid from the initial cooking as a base for the creamy polenta. All in all is came out quite good and there's enough for dinner tonight and another meal down the road.

I've been at a vegetarian house for a week so tonight I am celebrating being a carnivore with STEAK. I got some beautiful bone-in rib eyes at the store today along with some asparagus, thanks to amazingrace I've been wanting some.

I also picked up some kiwi berries, not sure if y'all have heard of them, they're pretty delicious. And today was my first time trying them.

After dinner I'm baking up brownies and chocolate chip cookies, some friends have a road trip tomorrow so I figured I'd make them a goody bag.

lol I was with you, Gummy-Bear, on the steak idea.  However, I had just come back from a cleaning at the dentist and I couldn't help myself.

I had a Leadbetter's Cowboy steak.  Just chucked it on the grill with a bit of seasoning, then fried up some eggs and roasted some herbed red potatoes in a bit of pork fat.

Just wondering; I can never seem to screw up cooking a Leadbetter steak.  It always comes out tender and juicy.  Anyone know what they do to the meat to make it so consistant? 

I had some left over chili tonight for dinner, I forgot to take anything out of the freezer so it was a left over night.

I needed to use up some almonds I had in my freezer, there was a lot and I needed the space so I made up a double batch of cinnamon sugared almonds, snacking on those like crazy.

It's probably needled and then MA packaged.  
a lot of meat producers do that.

 Shrimp and grits and braised pork shoulder tonight.  In a bit of a rush, so I'll post the recipe later if anyone wants for either.

Ahh, mamma nature is practicing spring here in southern Ontario.  The weather is quite lovely.

It seemed appropriate to munch on something fresh-ish.  Today's lunch is sandwiches of finely sliced cucumber with feta on a light rye, toasted.  Lotsa pepper.

Mother nature is going to be teasing us with spring for a few days and I'm off tomorrow and Wednesday to enjoy them!  Tonight's dinner is going to be pasta with meatballs with a mixed green salad and steamed peas and carrots. 

I eat a lot of vegies today , I feel good . I made a salad cucumber . It getting hot in here so i used cucumber just to skip dehydration that my Lunch .

I made something a bit different last night.  My wife loves soups, and I can usually make something pretty decent.  Tried a new recipe, of sorts.  It pretty much follows the chicken and tomatilla soup in Petereson's Splendid Soups but I had some turkey broth so I went with turkey rather than chicken.

Turned out pretty good, with warm tortillas on the side, sour cream and cheese topping the soup it was like an enchilada in a bowl.  I'm sure I'll be making it again.

We have just created a great dessert in our award winning restaurant - being in the UK fish and chips is a big thing - so i hope this translates world wide

We made a dessert that looks like a main coarse

We shaped and caramalized a banana and deep fried it in a beer batter this looked like the fish
We rolled and shaped ice rum parfait and rolled the stick shapes in praline to look like chips
We put the chips in a news paper cone on the plate next to the banana
We created a ketchup bottle but in side was a raspberry puree
We filled a vinagar bottle with a dark rum syrup


The customers loved it.

Boulangère potatoes with apple and red onion, all done as one roasting tin with good pork sausages on top. Tasty. =)

The weather has turned dreary again, so I'm just snarfing a bowl of the soup of the day; white bean & ham.  There are some crusty buns in the oven, and they should be done in time for me to use one to clean this bowl.

Sounds good.  BTW, even though I'm a Yank, I love a good fish and chips. 

I have scallops, white wine, asparagus, lemon, and some other stuff. Not sure what I'm making with it yet, but it will be delicious! Any suggestions?

 

Hungarian Mushroom Soup garnished with 3 baked phyllo ribbons that were prepped olive oil and dill weed.

White Asparagus served with a Saffron sauce and a Red Pepper droplets

Broccoli Rabe Dumpling drizzled with Parsley oil

 

Date-stuffed breast of Chicken with Madeira sauce (stuffing-butter, shallots, stoned dates,  chopped pistachios.)
Madeira sauce (shallots thinly sliced, Madeira, chicken stock, cream,fresh pepper & salt ) 

 

Little lemon souffle served in original lemon shell, a dusting of confect. sugar with the lemon cap on top (adorable) with raspberry and lemon coulis-- droplets, mint leaf.

Petals, that sounds (as always) amazing.  The lemon souffle especially sounds delightful.

After reading that, I'm almost embarassed to admit that my corney family started the day with green pancakes chocked full of mixed berries and the requisite maple syrup & butter.  Roast beef & corned beef sammies for lunch with a nice spicy mustard, and since it's my older sister's birthday we catered to her request; herb roasted chicken with garlic mashed, rutabaga & steamed green beans for supper.

We cooked the rutabaga in the microwave wrapped tightly in plastic film.  Anyone else do that?

Happy St. Paddy's Day, all.
