Tomorrows menu:

French dip sandwiches made with smoked sirloin tip roasts
Sliced cucumbers and tomatoes from the garden
Some radishes from the garden(second crop)
Salad from the garden(second crop)

I picked up 20 pounds of beef, half is for the neighbors. Cooking 100 pounds isn't much more work than 10 once I have it on the BBQ pit. Might thaw a turkey and toss that on too!

Saturday enteraining

Started with light parmesan/mint/dill/lettuce patties served with home made mayo - but overdid the lemon juice in the mayo and ended up making it dijon-mustard mayo to conceal the bitterness, or at least to give it a plausible cover!

Then did kebab balls - lamb mince and spices, served on moroccan couscous with a sour cranberry sauce.

Worked very nicely

Just having an omelet with some bacon for breakfast. Nothing noteworthy about the menu, but it is an unusual situation. As one might suspect, I do the cooking at our house. But at the moment I'm in my office at the computer, while my wife, who cooks maybe 2 or 3 times a year, is up in the kitchen fixing breakfast. My duty is to stay out of her way and provide occasional tech support and encouragement.

We'll see how it turns out.

I'll probably microwave a Michelina's thing tonight. I'd have more fun if I were cooking for others, but it's just me. I'll use some hot sauce or other spices. How romantic is that?

I cook for one :lol: doesn't stop me from making extra for the freezer. Sloppy joes sounded good so I made 2 pounds. I use a very simple recipe:

2 pounds hamburger
1 large onion
1 can tomato soup
1/2 soup can ketchup
1/2 cup or so of sugar (I never measure so that's a guess)
salt and pepper to taste(not much salt needed due to soup/ketchup. I use lots of pepper)

Brown the hamburger with the onions, add the rest and simmer until thick

Late Lunch

I had a late lunch so will skip dinner. Lunch was very simple - a head of lightly steamedbroccoli florets which were then sautéed in EVOO in which some d'arbol chilies and some chile flakes were cooked and a couple of cloves of garlic were very lightly browned.

I cooked some pinto and kidney beans. I'll be making some pasta and then a pasta salad with the beans, to take for lunch tomorrow.

Pollock breaded with panko bread crumbs with remoulade sauce, Risotto Milanese, and cherry tomatoes sauted with basil. It was tasty if I do say so myself.

Mondays we try to always stick to the same vegetarian dinner every week. Boiled weeds and fava bean puree. We love it but I felt the need to make something different today. Still made the weeds of course as they last us 2-3 days but I tried making something different...

Snail risotto! It was wonderful. Sauteed the onions and the snails, added 3 fresh crushed tomatoes, on 1tbsp tomato paste, and 1/2 cup of vermouth. I didn't have any arborio rice on hand so I used plain old uncle bens and added saffron broth. Finished with a dollop of butter and fresh cracked pepper - it was to die for.

Just whipped up a small bowl of Spaghetti with Broccoli Rabe. The sauce is made with salted anchovies, a little bit of garlic, some good early harvest evoo, and the spaghetti was bigoli. I added a little ground cayenne and some fresh black pepper. Nice simple quick meal. Proportianately I used a greater percentage of the broccoli than normal.

Well my session starts from Breakfast and end at breakfast as well. So I am planning to make fried rice and Bread Omlette. Both are my favourite one at least on breakfast table. Home made Tomato Sauce is just perfect with them.
post #648 of 1539
Today I had leftover potato-leek soup..its always better a day or two later..and toasted whole wheat roll. Rice pudding that I made today for dessert. Life is good. :)

This morning I had a variation of bacon and eggs: really fresh eggs from pastured chickens scrambled in lots of Spring Hill Butter , guanciale in place of the more usual bacon, and Peet's Las Hermanas blend of coffee. Breakfast was a real simple treat.

I had too many tomatoes, so I pureed about a pound and a half with some onion, bell pepper and garlic, browned some cube steaks and pressure cooked the meat with the tomatoes to make swiss steak. The fond from the maillard reaction ;) gave a nice flavor to the sauce. Served over noodles. DH was very pleased. :lips:

spaghetti and (failed) meatballs with a simple sugo. a bottle of Chianti (2004 florentia chianti classico), post a nicely mixed Old-Fashioned (hey, the debate is on tonight, and that surely takes more than a bottle of Chianti to get through!).
post #652 of 1539
Too many tomatoes? I wish I were so lucky. The best catsup I ever had was some I made myself from scratch. I made it less sweet and more spicy than the usual.
post #653 of 1539
This evening I made a variation of Spaghetti alla Gricia with Guanciale & Podda Classico cheese. The spaghetti was Bigoli Nobili Mori and the guanciale was cooked in an early harvest olive oil along with some garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes. The dish was finished with plenty of fresh, coarse ground, black pepper, and of course, the cheese - an ample amount of cheese.

Roast turkey with stuffing, candied yams, cole slaw, potato salad and cranberry sauce. Gravy of course. The potato salad was left over from yesterday, and was not supposed to be on today's menu, but DH wanted it.
Now the bones have been cooked off for broth and soup, and there's lots of turkey left over for sandwiches, enchiladas, burritos, sandwiches, turkey salad, sandwiches. :lips:

I had some barbecue. Tonight was the 5th Annual Bluesapalooza, a benefit for a community radio station here in Salt Lake, KRCL. They recently had one of their semiannual funding drives. For $100 you got two tickets to tonight's event which featured an all you can eat buffet and about 4 hours of live blues bands. Being the webmaster for utahblues.org [ which I did NOT update yet tonight, I was busy ] I got a pair of complimentry tickets.

The venue was Pat's BBQ, one of the better Q places here in town. I had one sparerib and 1 chicken thigh. It wasn't much considering I could have munched on all the meat I could handle. I did, however, have about a zillion servings of the red beans and rice and maybe 1.34 zillion servings of the macaroni and cheese. There was something oddly sweet about the mac and cheese, and I couldn't quite figure out what it was, most likely suspect a bit of honey. When I asked, Pat just smiled. My wife threatened to chain me to the table if I headed back to the tray of mac and cheese one more time. Good stuff. Oh, and some peach pie, a frosted pecan topped brownie and a beer or two or ....

It was a good dinner. I probably won't be eating like that again for, oh, a day or so. Wednesday night some Bulgarian dancers will be in town and I'll be doing some grilled flank steak sandwiches for the dinner we'll be attending for them at a friend's house. Chances are there will be more food than is necessary.

So much for that 5 pounds I lost in the last two weeks, they are coming right back at me, and bringing a few friends with them this time!

Burp.

Tonight is broiled mackerel with steamed rice, with shredded dikon on the side. My family loves Japanese food, and this is one of the easiest to make! :smoking:
post #660 of 1539
no clue what I'm making tonight, something cheap that's not pasta as I'm "on a budget" saving for a coffee maker. :lol:
