Dinner tonight...what's on your table?

What are you having?

We are passing around a fever/tummy virus picked up undoubtedly at a
birthday party last Saturday...so it's boring white rice cooked in
chicken/veggie broth, bananas and gingerale of us (water for poor DS
who has been hit hardest). I must say moving to a new area sucks - we
have caught everything going around for the last 3 years...you'd think
we'd almost be immune by now...

I have some yummy Mexican chicken cooked up and ready to make
quesadillas, along with a nice mix of seasoned red and pinto beans.
May have to stick it all in the freezer...

It's warm today, warmer than it's been lately, but still I find myself with a
hankerin' for some comfort food to help maybe lift me out of the funk I've
been in
lately. So. I went to the supermarket because silly me, I forgot they are
remodeling
and so they didn't have any decent looking roasts. And none with any bones.
So I went
to my tried and true. Iowa Meat Farms. Guess what? Yes, you guessed it. No
bone-in
chuck. Sigh. Not one to be deterred, I was a woman on a mission. Drove over
to
Siesel's, which is owned by the same folks as IMF. Glory Be! I got me a three
pound 7
Bone roast. Yay!

we're having articvhokes too! with aioli and melted butter.

Also, bruschetta, using TJs asiago-black papper bread as a base, topped
with a tomato mixture (fresh roma, sun dried, and roasted marinated)
plus basil garlic and rosemary, then topped with shaved grana padana
cheese.

And, a salad of mixed greens (romaine, spinach, mache) with endive,
celery, apple, grapes, and walnuts, with a buttermilk-yogurt-lemon-dill
dressing.

Dessert: an experimental dessert calzone, made from leftover pizza
dough filled with ricotta, cinnamon-sugar, and apricot jam.

See "Best braised beef!" I think I was in the same mood you were. I omitted
potatoes
because I wanted bread ...

Sorry you've been down; I hope the comfort food did its job!

I'm going to have dinner about midnight: I'm going to start off with a salad
containing chopped mizuna, cold buckwheat noodles (soba), and scallions,
dressed with soy, mirin, rice wine vinegar, ginger, and garlic. Then I'll
have beef saté with peanut sauce, following the recipe from America's Test
Kitchen (but using skirt steak instead of flank steak). Dessert will be a
wedge of "ambrosia" melon with powdered ginger and a tiny glass of ice-cold
Midori.

Bob

You guys are all killin' me! I am having company beginning this
Wednesday, and I've been desperately trying to lose some weight. . .So,
I'm starving myself tonight!

However, on Wednesday, I'm serving up Paella, Salad, Kalamata Olive
bread, and plenty of red wines. There will be Tira Missou for desert.

Between now and then, I guess I'll be living on my dreams, and a few
radishes and celery sticks;-(

I've been in a funk too...hope you feel better soon. Tonight we're
eating leftovers from last night's great dinner. We had grilled baby
back ribs and chicken thighs, grilled corn on the cob, grilled
potato/vidalia onion packets, and pepper/tomato/cuke salad. On the
plate it looked like the cover of a Bon Appetite issue. Our best
buddies next door helped out so it wasn't such a big deal for us. We
ate out on the deck and it felt like SUMMER.....finally. Amd with all
of those grill packets, not too much to clean up!

Leftovers from yesterday's party, burgers (veggie burgers for david), curried
potato salad, fruit on pound cake with whipped cream.

A friend of mine got me the Alien Quadrilogy for my birthday, bundled up
watching that and crocheting little flowers.

That would be yesterday evening for me. Warm here too. Beef and
bresaola carpaccio, with thin slices of Fontina cheese on it, seasoned
with lemon juice and olive oil. As a side dish, eggplants slow-cooked
in the oven with a topping of feta and tomatoes, served cold.

We're having roast butterflied marinated chicken (I buy them vacuum
packed from the butcher, the marinade involves lemon and herbs and I
don't know what) with mashed kumara and zucchini stewed with onion in
olive oil. Broccoli soup to start.

Time I went and put the oven on, I think.

How did you do the roast?

Browned it in a bit of butter and olive oil, added thinly sliced onions, 2 carrots,
and some beef stock (mixed with water because I only had a cup) along with a packet
of Lipton beefy-onion soup mix. Turned the heat down on low and let it braise for
about 4 hours.

I *had* to have the potatoes 🙂 They're a rare treat these days, so it was part of
the whole comfort theme.

Thanks! It helped for a bit until the proverbial [censored] hit the fan around midnight.
It's been a chaotic time lately.

Working nights? I was just wondering why you're eating so late 🙂
Sounds yummy though, except for the peanut sauce, which I can't stomach.
Have you tried the Galia melons? My mom loves them, but says the texture is not
unlike a cantaloupe, which I don't care for. I prefer the texture of a good
watermelon. Still, I do like Honey Dew, so I'm wondering ... 😉

Thanks, I hope you do too!
Your dinner sounds scrumptious too! I love grilling. It's so tasty, and it seems like
it improves the flavor of almost anything. I especially love grilled corn. I can
remember the first time I tried it...at my aunt's farm in Wisconsin. Too hot to boil
it, she'd said. Thought I'd died and went to heaven. Of course, that was yellow corn,
which is close to impossible to find out here in California! lol

I laughed when I saw the lucyspoileddog email. My dog is named Lucy, and if she ain't
spoiled, I don't know what is! Here's a pic of her with her new summer hairdo:

CHEESEBURGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
made by husband on the grill!

Kimberly said:

I work from 6 PM to 6 AM. I eat breakfast around 4 PM and lunch whenever
work
lets me (usually somewhere between 10 PM and 1 AM). Lunch is usually my big
meal of the day, since I go to bed shortly after I get home. Supper depends
on
whether I bring a second meal to work or wait until I get home; it happens
anywhere from 4 AM to 8 AM.

The only melon I don't like is kiwano (a.k.a. horned melon).

Oh, she's GORGEOUS! Yes, my Lucy is spoiled, but she earns it. She's
a Border Collie/Lab mix, so she's got the Border Collie brains, and the
sweet Lab temperament. My husband considers her to be so spoiled
because I cook her food (she has a better diet than most people on this
planet) and usually before he gets any dinner. I'll post a pic of her
if I can ever figure out how to do it from google.
