Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Supper -- what are you cooking? - Page 20  

Tonite ( in 1 hr or more ( its 10: 10 pm right now )) ), its souvlakis, in pita bread with tomatoes, onions, lettuce, cucumbers & tzatziki sauce :D


I cant wait for this greek delight

Tonight, ratatouille with zucchini, Japanese eggplant, green pepper, garlic, Walla Walla sweet onions, fresh tarragon/marjoram/basil. The only thing unfresh is the *#&#& tomato. The ones I bought were mealy when I peeled them and didn't have enough juice. Guess I'll have to wait until the ones in our own garden are ready to do it up right.

ETA: Oh! And I may throw a little basalmic vinegar in at the last minute with the fresh herbs. Maybe.

Mushroom (porcini) risotto with some left over sugar snap peas.

I'm not sure if this even qualifies, but it sounds good right now! Lunch - a few slices of Irish 'Blarney Castle' cheese with some cold red grapes.

Dinner - leftover ratatouille (now that it's had time to consider it's fate, it should be better) with toasted sourdough French bread, garlicked up a bit and broiled with some parmesan on top.

Sounds good, Praties.

Hey, your name got my scrabble mind going. those letters can make "parties", pirates", "pastries" (if there's an open S), and probably more.

A fellow Scrabbler??!?!? Do you like crosswords, too?

And the ratatouille was much better the second time around.

I play at isc.ro and scrabulous.com. I need a scrabble fix just about every day. Started at Playsite, then games.com, then atari, and now new ones.

i had a home made bagel (we made them at school ) i so dont want to eat bought ones again , man this was good, with a mediterrainen style cream cheese and cold meat loaf

i have been so busy all day i really coudlnt be botherd cooking a proper meal

Is Scrabulous still going? I took a look at it once, but I use Linux and.... I was thinking about giving the one on Pogo a try.

Tonight--broiled sweet Italian sausages on a bed of sauteed sweet onions and peppers, a mix of whatever veg is in the fridge steamed and tossed with butter and a tossed salad with a basil vinaigrette.

I fell for pork souvlakis again ( dijon & honey, to experiment with ) for later on tonite ( its 7 35 pm E.T. right now ), around 9 or 10 pm.


Was to lazy to make my tzatziki sauce, so I bought already made :D

Humm, my supper was a pure delight, I will try too measure the exact quantitees I used, ( and post it here on cheftalk.com ) honey & dijon is a fantastic match ( I know all you great chefs here, laready know this combination, but its new to me ( I am not a pro )))

Seared duck breast, parsnip puree and asparagus and a little mango sorbet and vanilla ice cream for dessert



as usual i took LOTs of pictures here...

I love chile rellenos. Some of the best I have ever had are a few blocks away . . . Rigobertos :D

we are having fresh foccacia bread that i made today in class, with venison sausages, a green bean, tomato and avocado salad , super easy , its been a rough day

German Currywurst


Ingredients:

• 2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
• 3 tablespoons chili sauce
• 1 good-sized chopped onion, sauteed
• 1 pound bratwurst or sausage of your choice
• 3 Tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 Cloves Garlic (diced)
• 1 Tablespoon paprika
• Curry Powder to Taste

Preheat oven to Broil/Grill for cooking sausages. Sausages can be sauteed or barbequed as well.
2. Pour tomato sauce into a large saucepan, then stir all the other ingredients except for the curry powder and the sausage. Let simmer over medium heat for about 20-30 minutes after bringing to a boil.
3. Meanwhile, broil/grill sausage for 3 to 4 minutes each side, or until cooked through. Slice into pieces 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch thick.
4. Pour tomato sauce mixture over sausage, then sprinkle all with paprika and curry powder and serve. It is best to let each person decide how much curry powder they want so be sure to set some extra powder out on the table. Serve with french fries and rolls.

Well after a week of hitting a couple my old Chicago haunts for "comfort" foods we decided to do dinner at home the last couple nights. As much as I do enjoy the Greek Islands, White Castle, Portillo's, Giordano's and a couple of the Greek owned Coffee Shops (names like Omega)we stopped at for breakfast it's nice to eat home cooking again.

We have been doing a weekly menu here for some time and were able to just pick up where we left off when we had to leave.

So we had Angel Hair Pasta with meat sauce, garlic bread and salad on Thursday night, Open faced turkey sands last night and Jaeger Schnitzel with sauteed yellow squash tonight. Tomorrow is Chicken Piccatta with buttered noodles and broccoli for lunch and Pot-Luck for dinner.:D

Very light, early dinner t'nite. A Gravenstein apple freshly plucked from the tree in the back yard and a couple of pieces of cheese - Fiscalini Farmstead cheddar and Montagnolo blue. Hit the spot! Oh, almost forgot - a couple of thick slices of Fra'Mani Salame Gentile


scb

Humm, tonite I had a thing for 4 more souvlakis brochettes ( skewers ) , 1 mqade of chicken, 1 of pork, one of beef, & 1 of veal with a feta salad & tomatoes,fresch mushrooms, served on pita bread ;)


What de pure delight

last night I put some minced garlic and thyme under the skin of some chicken thighs, salt/pepper, browned in a pan, then threw in the 375 oven until done....

in the same pan, I sauteed up some carrots, baby russet potatoes, and pearl onions, covered, until a little brown, added a can of chicken broth and simmered until reduced pretty good...

simple. good. (and it's also for lunch today!)

a peach, a plum. a shroom and al pastor burro. a nectarine. 2 litres of san pellegrino. 3 camel lights. ahh...

Its about 40 c ( 104 F ) here, so its BBQ, merguez sausages, veal cubes & mixed veggies on a skewer (brochette ) & a few cold beers

Cold and stormy at this end of the planet - slow cooked goat tagine with fennel, chilli, chorizo, saffron and cannellini beans - great cold weather comfort food.

last night went out, italian....

tonight, perhaps veal or fiance has a hankering for duck.....

Today I am making an apple-caramel pudding in my pressure cooker...:lips:

Split pea soup with ham for supper, with crusty bread.

Chicken Braciole over rotelle pasta, garden salad with homegrown tomatoes.

I ordered pizza tonite, and this pizza is the best one I ever tasted in my life, sauce & herbs alone make it a delicacy ( minced sirloin not hamburger steak like groceries served with all the fresh vegetables ), to savor slowly


I ll be ordering more from that restaurant

Yestreday ,because of Hanna, we had to move BBQ Chicken indoors to oven baked chicken. Sides were mushroom noodles and greenbeans in ham stock (made that yesterday too). Today is traditional Sunday supper of whole Roasted Eye of the Round, mashed taters, mushroom gravy, corn and salad. Nothing to exotic or involved. Just good old fashioned comfort food. Maybe a nice bottler of Merlot to go with things today. Have a bottle of Preece Merlot from 1995 in the wine cabinet that'll do just fine.:lips:

last night we made some EXCELLENT simple gingered beef (Ming Tsai recipe using ginger syrup we made) came out great.

Slow roasted shoulder of rare breed pork seasoned with fennel seeds, chilli and garlic.
