Dinner time!

Today it’s cool and rainy, so I am making split pea soup with ham, and homemade bread sticks. I’ve never made breadsticks before, but my split pea soup is the bomb, for sure.

Last night we made ribsand grilled corn. So tonight … leftovers! Which is gonna taste WAY better than it sounds.

We cheated and headed out for Chinese: Black Pepper Chicken and Mushu Pork, with potstickers and beer.

It’s been a little while since I’ve seen a ‘What’s for dinner’ thread, so here’s a new one.

Last night I made escargots in a sauce of butter, cream, sherry, shallots, and garlic, with the snails atop mushroom caps and topped with the sauce, bread crumbs, and freshly-grated parmesan. I toasted some baguette slices to go with them. Rib-eye steaks cooked over charcoal was the main course, and the veg was just a salad.

Yesterday I made the dressing for shaved beef salad, and picked up some Boar’s Head roast beef shaved as thin as they could make it from the store. That’s what’s for dinner tonight.

Oh c’mon,** Johnny L.A.**, what you really mean is ‘I can’t find a thread to brag about this super kick ass dinner I made, so I had to make one.’

Oh yeah…tonight, grilled pork tenderloin and steamed fresh green beans. And slices of cucumber and peaches, 'cuz the little boy digs on them.

Popcorn..-snip-.. a microwave oven actually does better then a regular oven, and a lot faster.

I totally disagree

You could do that, or else join us for tonight’s crab cakes, grilled strip steak, spring greens with homemade balsamic vinaigrette and flourless chocolate cake… Oh, and bruchetta for apps.

I’ll have the bruschetta apps, and then just heat up a big bowl of the chile verde, thanks!

Tonight I had the rest of the leftover homeade mac & cheese and a pink freezie pop. No idea what flavor ‘pink’ is, but it was cold and sweet. That’s all I need to know.

Spaghetti with meaty-meat-and-mushroom sauce.

We went to a pig picking this afternoon for a local congressional candidate, so supper was more of a snack. The Fella made some summer rolls that had some rice noodles, lettuce, julienned carrots and avacado. We had yogurt with fresh strawberries for dessert.

Tonight I made a bone-in pork chop. I experimented and made my own marinade with lime juice, lime-infused simple syrup, ginger paste, olive oil, salt, pepper, and cayenne. I think the syrup was a mistake because the chop came out with a black crust on both sides (I also overcooked it a bit), but it tasted good. The black stuff flaked off. With it I had new potatoes with butter, salt, pepper, and chives, and a delicious ratatouille that I had made the night before. Secret ingredients in my ratatouille: fennel and some Jack’s salsa.
