What's for dinner?

[Red Eft]

Tonight I'm making Dal Makhani (http://www.indobase.com/recipes/details/dal-makhani.php) and rice, and Coconut Creamed Corn (http://www.delish.com/recipefinder/coconut-creamed-corn-recipe-9902).

Yum!



What you are having? :)

[lily]

Salmon patties, with white sauce and French Fries!

I made Anbiv dinner tonight ... Baby greens salad.. Steak on the grill and a Yukon gold potato..

[Boots]

I have to drive out to Harrisburg...and I'm really craving some good Chinese food...but it's messy eating in the car.

Never been to one. I'll check it out. Time to hit the road, traffic should be cleared out by now. Hope Biv enjoyed her dinner. You're a good man, Mr. Ski. (you better be...Biv's an even better woman! :) )

If you go to Sonic, I hope you try their fried onion rings. Love them. I seldom eat hot dogs, but I like the Sonic dog with chili, mustard, and onions.
When I eat there I revert to my teen years and throw caution to the winds. Good thing I don't eat there often.

[lily]

Sonics are just starting to come to Michigan. I've heard so much about them. Especially some kind of ice drink?

Tonight's dinner is homemade pizza again.

[Red Eft]

I think we might go with leftovers. We have leftover veggie lasagna, and the leftover Indian from last night.

[bishop]

hangar steak, roasted white & yellow potatoes, and ginger carrots tonight.

ooohh...mind posting a recipe in the forum? I've never really figured out how to make a decent vegetarian one. I don't really like the white sauce ones.

[bishop]

How do you prepare the ginger carrots?

nothing particularly fancy really... after a quick boil to get them al dente, i finish them off with ginger powder, black pepper, salt, light brown sugar and butter. i sometimes use fresh ginger, but we have a very good spice/herb store nearby and the powder's just as good with a whole lot less effort.

[bishop]

going to make some soup tonight... chicken, udon, dashi, scallions, bok choy.. maybe some white mushrooms.. i'll post the recipe if this comes out good.

Ricotta and spinach pie

Okay, spill the details. I made a tomato & zucchini with soft cheese pie the other day, but I would hate to assume what goes into yours, thus ruining dinner.

1 lb fresh spinach, washed, blanched, spun dried, and chopped.
1 lb fresh ricotta, drained
2 lg eggs
1/2 lb grated mozzarella
1/4 cup parmagano
2-3 cloves of pressed garlic cloves
some chopped parsley
some salt and pepper

Mix it all up, put it in your favorite pie crust (I like a lattice top, and use an egg wash to make it golden), and bake at 350 for 45min -1hr I test it at 45 minutes for browness, and with a knife into the center. It should come up just a little wet, but not soaking. Let sit for 1/2 hour after baking to set.

I'm breaking my 6 month long ban on pork tonight, because I was in Publix and they had Boston Butts on sale for $0.99 per pound. :) I know - I'm weak.

A recent development has occurred and due to severe weirdness on my part and others', I am locked into alliterative dinner every day until I have the will power to break the cycle.

Today is Taco Tuesday. I will be eating burritos.

[Michael]

Chicken, pasta and veggie stir fry with a touch of cilantro and peppercorn. Yum! :thumbsup:

[Boots]

Tonight...shrimp jambalaya. It was excellent.

[Red Eft]

Realized I had some produce that needed to be used up so I pushed off the Ricotta & Spinach Pie.

Ended up making Black Bean Soup, and carrots & parsnips with a little butter and thyme. Rounded out the meal with fresh Italian bread.

I've been using my NordicWare Microwave Tender Cooker a lot lately:

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/3105EZZ37GL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

http://www.amazon.com/Nordic-Microwave-Tender-Cooker-Quart/dp/B0007LC55A

It's a pressure cooker. Works great. You can cook a pork roast or beef roast into a fork-tender meal in 50-60 minutes. Just season the meat, place it in the unit, throw a bunch of onions, carrots, garlic, etc. on top, pour in a 1/4 cup of red wine, and that's it. It will cook a small chicken in under 25 minutes.

Highly recommended.

[lily]

I've been thinking of investing in a pressure cooker........I'll have to look this one up.

[justoneman]

I made a ham for Easter last weekend. So Monday it was leftover ham for dinner. Then Tuesday was ham and scalloped potatoes. Then Wednesday it was split pea soup with ham. Thursday was ham and vegetable fried rice. Friday I made navy bean soup with ham. Saturday I had spagetti. Thank God!!

[justoneman]

I still have ham. This is where it might be good to have a dog.

Baloney sandwiches with sliced pickles and lots of mustard. (My dog won't eat them.)

$60 isn't all that expensive for a pressure cooker.....question though.....I'm looking for a stovetop one......this says microvave......so I take it is used in the microwave?

No, this one is strictly for the microwave. But it will cook a small pork roast in just under an hour, a beef roast in just under 50 minutes, and a whole bagged bird in just under 25 minutes.

For my roast last week, the only thing I added besides the seasoned meat, was a half cup of Burgundy wine, 2 cut up carrots, a cut up onion, and a little garlic. It was delicious!

[lily]

The only thing I have ever used a pressure cooker for is canning.......and it's a totally different thing. I see it used on the Food Channel a lot and my mother and mother in law both used them........I now have a roast in the oven.....still hesitant. I think I'll look more on the computer and see what the outlet malls have next time I go North.:thumbsup:

[bishop]

going to sear some lamb chops tonight, along with sauteed celery root/carrots/garlic, and some sourdough bread.

[lily]

What time do you want me to be there, bishop? I had a can of Campbells Chicken Rice soup a couple hours ago, but I could eat again.

[bishop]

ended up making a quick pan sauce as well - port wine, crushed fresh rosemary, beef broth, salt/pepper... the lamb came out good, although i'm not a big fan of lamb to begin with (made this one for the wife).. and, the veggies were good, although i think celery root's best when mashed along with a yukon gold.

don't have a damn clue what to make tonight.. i want to make this gazpacho, but it isn't warm enough for it.. i'm leaning towards something like chinese meatball soup or beef & broccoli. the wife seems to be demanding pad thai (just as she demanded yellow curry on friday).

[Easy90]

Bishop, you get my vote for the best fed, most adroit recipe poster in the forum...by a mile! I get hungry every time I read your posts. Make that gazpacho and report on it. I printed the recipe, and would like your opinion before I go buy avocados and cilantro! (Items I don't normally buy!)

heh.. thanks!

trust me, the driving force isn't creativity - it's just boredom. i can wear the same pair of jeans every day for a month (heh), but have some personality quirk that prevents me from having the same thing within several weeks' time.

[bishop]

indecision...

finally landed on an idea, now just need to figure out how to make it work.. trying to do a chinese bolognese. any suggestions?

[Easy90]

Ah..use rice instead of pasta?

[bishop]

apparently someone already thought of this - no surprise. it's called zha jiang mian. i'm going to make this over some udon noodles (the best noodles there are imo).

tried the gazpacho tonight. two words - not good.

i wasn't too happy with the chinese bolognese either.

We had a "boring" dinner tonight...chicken parm and spaghetti with a salad.

We had chicken-fried venison steak. It was good. Were going to have the gazpacho but the deer meat needed to be cooked...Cold veggie soup tomorrow. Hope we like it better than Bishop... I'm concerned we won't however. Might end up with a salad and garlic bread!!!

[Boots]

Some sushi, edamame, fresh spring roll...and some mango sorbet. I way overdid it, but damn it was good!

Though the wife actually said she liked it, I could only manage about half a bowl of the gazpacho before I gave up and admitted it really sucked!!! YUCK!
It reeked of cucumber and slimy avocado oil, (I hate guacamole too!) So, I'd have to say, for my taste...on a scale of 1-10.. 2! (for the garlic toast!)

Depends on how you make the guacamole. Take a 1 pound container cottage cheese, one large ripe tomato diced (In season. not the hot house shit), a couple green onions (green only) chopped, one or two avocodos diced and a squirt or two of lemon juice.

I bought a similar set, Kirkland (Costco brand), a few year back. It's got it's good and bad points.

Good points is it's heavier weight and stovetop to oven friendly, which was a step above the Revere crap that my wife collected.

Bad points are it's not recommended for the dishwasher, and my sauce pan is really shot to hell from my monster whisking. When I really fire up the frying pan for a quick fry, and try to season it and wipe it down, I'm never sure that the black stuff is just something the dishwasher never caught or part of the unknown composition finish. It does give me some concern when I'm making pan sauces.

Compared to the Revere crap, I'm pretty satisfied. I never was able to dent the frying pan nor create that unremoveble crust when super hot frying, and like the fact that I can finish some things in a hot oven (especially chicken). If I were to do it over again, I really like that new heavy weight aluminum/steel/copper alloy stuff.

Agree. I'm hoping that Dolphy finds too much time on his hands again, and comes on back here. I miss the flame wars about what kind of salt to use.

Thanks for the info on the Kirkland set - I was going to buy that.

I'm taking this set back to JCPenneys today. The small saucepan leaks at the left rivet, and the Dutch Oven wobbles on my flat glasstop, so I guess it's slightly warped.

I would just return those two, but I also found out the hard way that the lids and handles are not stay-cool. And I'll be damned if I'm going to grab an oven mit every single time I lift a lid or move a pot.

But I still recommend the 8" egg skillet, which you can buy for $14.99 - it's eggcellent!!!

So, sorry about my premature recommendation, folks!

only the weekend fare is the fancy stuff. most days is normal whatevers like grilled chicken salad, meatloaf/burgers, spaghetti and meatballs, steak, etc...

yesterdays, however, we went back to one of our old faithfuls - shredded/braised beef short rib sandwiches on ciabatta and topped with brocolli slaw (spiked w/jalepeno). and of course, the au jous for dipping. it's damn easy to make, but is our favorite sandwich.

that is, until i try to make some homemade pastrami. :)

Ok........I have to know....broccoli is a flower. It can't be shredded like cabbage...how do you make a slaw?

[bishop]

most grocery stores sell bags of broccoli slaw mix in the same area as cabbage mix. i've never actually shredded any of the stuff myself - easier to just buy the bagged mixes. the slaw is made from the broccoli stems, which are the tastiest part of the veggie imo (crunchy and sweet).

you make it like a normal slaw (i can post a specific recipe if you're interested). some salt, sugar, vinegar...


made some buffalo wings last night.

[bishop]

going to make a chorizo/egg burrito for breakfast/brunch this morning.

going to the fish market today.. hoping to get some whole trout and corn on the cob - grilling them both. definitely happy that corn's back in season. i usually grill corn by rubbing it down with butter and savory seasonings (paprika, cayenne, salt, pepper, nutmeg, garlic, onion powder, etc...) and wrapping it in foil. probably is no different than steaming, but that's just how i choose to do it.

[lily]

There is nothing better than fresh fish and corn! I could easily turn into a vegetarian, if I had fresh vegetables all year round. Aspargus is now at it's peak here.......we've got a long way to go, before corn.

[bishop]

we recently bought a bunch of herbs and veggies to plant - it'll be way better next year after we buy a house. i'm definitely looking to grow as much as i can, when i can. used to grow corn when i lived with my parents in NJ. nothing quite like fresh picked corn - or strawberries for that matter.

[lily]

When my dad was still alive, his garden was his pride and joy. I can go North to friends farms in the summer and get fresh vegetables, but they aren't the same. My son and daughter both have so many memories of grampa and the garden.....his way of getting them to pick strawberrries was, you're closer to the ground.....not many made them to the house though......which I can remember was my problem with green beans......love raw green beans!

My son now has his own garden.......and memories.

I try to waste very little in the kitchen. So if I have broccoli florets one night, I'll save the stems. For a slaw, I just peel the outter skin, and run them through the coarse grate on the food processor. If I'm not going to use them within a few days, I just dump them in the resealable bag, with other veggie scraps, and do a stock when I have time.

BTW, I love broccoli cheese soup, and those grated stems work greate as a base for it.

Going to just make some good ol' fashion fried chicken with mashed tators and brown gravy with corn on the cob tonight. Probably will throw in a salad before hand as well :)

[Anbiv]

A few nights ago I put together an Indian "inspired" dinner.


3 chicken breasts - cut in bite size pieces
20 or so shrimp - peeled/raw
1 large sweet onion - cut in strips, thin
1 tbs sugar
1 tbs Curry
2 tbs peanut butter
1/2 tbs Garam Masala
1 teas red pepper flakes (well, I used over a tablespoon..but that might be much for most)
1 can coconut cream
Water (if needed)
Butter
Olive oil

Heat a bit of olive oil and 2 tbs of butter. Sautee the onion and the red pepper flakes until onion is soft and translucent. Add the sugar as onion is cooking.
Add chicken. Sautee/brown for 5 minutes.
Add curry and garam masala
Add coconut cream and stir.
Add peanut butter
If sauce needs more volume, or if it's too thin, add some water or chicken stock.
Cook for 10 or 15 minutes.
Add shrimp
Cook 5 minutes till shrimp is done.
Salt and pepper to taste.

Serve over rice.

Way yum.

Going to just make some good ol' fashion fried chicken with mashed tators and brown gravy with corn on the cob tonight. Probably will throw in a salad before hand as well :)

that one made me hungry - and i just finished having a big lunch.

[Lady Marva]

Wow........ people really actually cook dinners....... just wow...

LOL........ why Bob Evans restaurants exist!

[bishop]

pad thai last night.. shrimp, chicken, bean sprouts, snap peas, scallions, vidalia onion.. the sauce was the nazz.. we used a modified version of a recipe we saw on bobby flay's throwdown.

today, i'm taking out the charcoal grill.. burgers and kayem hot dogs.

[bishop]

making some indian tonight... chicken vindaloo along with some aromatic rice and store-bought naan (my oven's broken). going to find some tasty beer to go along with it - probably duvel.

[NortheastCynic]

I too am doing Indian tonight. Take out.

Chicken tikka massala, mango lassi and naan.

Good stuff.

-NC

[bishop]

personally, indian is one of my least favorite cuisines - i only made the vindaloo because jaz likes the stuff.

there's one place in harvard square that's outstanding imo - and this coming from someone who thinks that indian food is lackluster. highly recommend this one, and if you go, get their homemade cheese appetizer.

[bishop]

blt...

best sandwich ever imo.

[bishop]

some homemade crab rangoons and egg drop soup.

[lily]

Homemade pizza again.

If you're too lazy to make your own sauce......Pasterelli's is good. I just thought I'd try a different canned sauce and was too lazy to make my own. Was pleasantly surprised.

[HT!]

Pork roast in my Tender Cooker
black beans over rice
homemade Broccoli & Cheddar soup in my Vita-Mix

[bishop]

didn't really have anything in the fridge, so i picked up some shredded beef and hogie rolls on the way home from work. made steak and cheese subs.

tomorrow = something including trout.

[lily]

OMG......trout!:drool:

I settled for cod today.

[bishop]

unfortunately, no trout was to be found so jaz picked up salmon filet. i am a little tired of traditional pan seared salmon, so instead, i'm making salmon burgers with a lemon/chive aeoli. skinned the salmon and cut into cubes, tossed into the food processor for a few quick pulses - i wanted a slightly chunky texture. mixed with an egg, salt, pepper and bread crumbs, then left in the fridge to set up. the aeoli will have mayo, fresh squeezed lemon juice, chives, and a little bit of salt and pepper. toasted bun and some fresh mescaline from the garden.

[lily]

Sure.....tell me now, while I'm almost to your house, that we're not having trout! I'm just going to turn around.....salmon is about the only fish I don't like, unless it's salmon patties, smoked, out of a can.......yes I said canned salmon!:nana:

[bishop]

didn't care for them that much. they somehow fell to my stomach like a krispy kreme doughnut.

could've been that i wasn't interested in salmon in the first place - i hate how that always becomes the default fish when the one i want isn't available.

[lily]

Well........not dinner exactly.....but going to the farm to pick up strawberries. Have the jars already in the dishwasher, space cleaned in the kitchen.......it's jam day Sunday!

[Cobra]

We grow strawberries in a nice garden beside our house. Fresh strawberries are the best but most of our homegrown ones are gone by the hot summer, more of a spring fruit.

I'm eating a shrimp dinner tonight from local sports bar. They do carry out so will take it home since I have no one to eat with.

[bishop]

pork chops with a sage/butter sauce, and corn on the cob.

but, it's so damn hot outside, i may just have a dinner of tang instead.

[Gunny]

I'm a huge grill fan and cook out on it about four days a week. Tonight it's barbecued chicken, marinated pork loin and brats.

[bishop]

heh.. that's a hell of a meal for a monday dinner. would've figured that for more of a weekend bbq.

picking up some gyros tonight - from the best place i've ever had them at (greek corner in cambridge).

[Gunny]

heh.. that's a hell of a meal for a monday dinner. would've figured that for more of a weekend bbq.

I'm having some friends over.

If they were going to strap my old ass in a rocket ship and blast me away for 10 years and I could only bring an unlimited supply of one particuliar sandwich I would hands down select the mighty gyro (pronounced Yee-Ro for all those culturally challenged). Those Greek bastards sure know how to make a sandwich.

There's a couple local places that sell gyros around here. I never get tired of those tasty things.

[bishop]

heh.. i can't decide if it's the meat i like the best, or the sauce, or the warm pita off the flat-top... the whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts.

[Lady Marva]

I'm hungry. And I just ate a canful of Campbells chicken noodle soup straight outta the can. With a plastic spoon. Dang, I'm efficient in the clean-up department!

Course I do like some crackers with the sardines.

[bishop]

a little random tonight, but it'll be good...

grilled sirloin steak w/montreal steak seasoning
grilled shrimp (had a few leftover in the freezer) with the usual seasoning
grilled focaccia bread
caprese salad (basil, mozzarella and tomato) with jaz's secret balsamic vinaigrette

[bishop]

looking forward to tomorrow's brunch. going to make a twisted version of huevos ranchero with pork chops.

july 4th eats look promising. herb marinated grilled steak tips, grilled shrimp, red potato salad, and some sort of mescaline salad. best of all, my CIO gave me a great gift of 4 cuban romeo y julieta churchill tubos. can't wait to puff on one of them!

For dinner tonight I did the breakfast thing. Scrambled eggs, corned beef hash and fried potato wedges. Something about having breakfast for dinner every once in a while.

[bishop]

always nice to have breakfast for dinner from time to time.

we had something similar last night - mainly because we didn't want to bother cooking. fresh baguette, smoked salmon, cream cheese, chives and a little mescaline. sandwiches always hit the spot.

[bishop]

sweet jesus it's awful outside. 98 degrees at 6:15 is absurd.

quick dinner tonight. the less i stand in front of a grill or stove top the better - and we already got takeout yesterday.

simple pan fried tilapia fillets, with spinach sauteed w/garlic, and some bread..

[potter]

Yukkkkk....

sometimes the missus just shouldn't cook.

Blue cheese doesn't pair well with boiled chicken breast.... :blah:

It's really very bad of you, and possibly abusive, to call your children "brats."

On the other hand, considering that you're grilling them, I'm willing to let the verbal abuse pass...

Look for this stuff the next time you are shopping - I get mine at Costco, and it's so delicious!

Lentils and red kidney beans in a creamy sauce of onions, tomatoes, ginger and spices.

Just heat it in the pouch, in the microwave, then pour over rice. YUM!

[Easy90]

Getting ready to make myself a turkey, bacon, Havarti (melted) sandwich...Little mayo and maybe a thin slice of tomato.. for lunch... MMMmm Can't beat it for a quick, tasty sandwich.

[bishop]

can never go wrong with a turkey club - and the addition of cheese never hurts!


heading out to the fish market to find something for tonight.. tonight we're having some rice pilaf, sauteed spinach w/garlic (gotta finish the bag off) and some sort of charcoal grilled fish.. probably going to end up with red snapper.

[Gunny]

I'm a sucker for a good Gyro. And for the love of Christ you pronounce it "YEE-RO".

[bishop]

had something simple last night, looking to continue that trend tonight.

last night was a pork/vegetable udon noodle bowl. it included thin strips of pork, garlic, ginger, soy, red chili, vegetable broth, scallion, red bell pepper, carrot, snap peas and udon noodles. squirted a little bit of lime juice in and topped with fresh cilantro from the garden (i held off on myself, since i'm not a fan of cilantro but the wife definitely enjoyed it). simple, healthy and was tasty enough.

tonight, putting some leftover grilled chicken breast to good use. going to pick up a loaf of fresh italian bread (wide loaf), topped with fresh basil, diced tomatoes, mozzarella and the chicken. sort of a play on caprese salad and pizza.. all done in the toaster oven to keep the house nice and cool.

[SteveGan1]

Vegetable broth on the boil
Added:
celery
carrots
onion
garlic
sweet basil sprig
thyme (dry)
Blended:
RAW cashews with more vegetable broth, added to stock at end. Brought to boil, then served, with salt and pepper.

Raw cashew cream sauce is the bomb.
No animal, no cholesterol.

What's an "udon noodle" and where do you get it?

[bishop]

just like you can get all sorts of dried pasta in the stores, you can also get dried noodles. for whatever reason, grocers typically stock all noodles associated with asian food (rice noodles, udon, soba, etc..) in the asian section of the store. egg noodles, by contrast, are typically stocked alongside pasta.

personally, i'd go for noodles over pasta any day of the week. egg noodles, wide rice noodles and udon in particular. udon noodles are thick and made from wheat flour and their thickness/starchiness makes them great for holding onto sauce/broth. they're the thickest of all noodles and are generally used in noodle bowls, with a healthy amount of stock - soup bowls for us westerners.

Thanks. Maybe I need to try shopping for noodles at a different store cause I can't find much other than those in the pasta section.

[bishop]

your local store doesn't have an asian section? if it does, definitely give it a try.

[bishop]

making a yellow curry with shrimp tonight. i always find that spicy food on a hot day actually works to cool you down - plus it's tasty.

[lily]

Stuffed peppers and homemade bread......yeah, I borke down and turned the oven on for the bread, thinking I was so smart to keep the house cool, by putting the stuffed peppers in the slow cooker.

[Dasher]

Bratwurst, green beans, chips, and 10 oz. Diet Coke.

[Berggeist]

In these climes, dinner is the noon meal. Supper is the evening meal. For dinner today, we had a great beef stew over rice; yellow crooked-neck squash well seasoned; green beans well seasoned; a salad with fresh tomato, lettuce, onion and cucumber with a homemade dressing; cornbread and hotwater cornbread; iced tea with lemon; and watermelon.

Right good it all was. I was the cook, save for the standard cornbread which my mother baked.

Last night, I fried up some catfish fillets and shrimp with baked potato and a salad. Again we had iced tea and lemon. We had ice cream and fresh sliced but unpeeled peaches.

That, too, was very good.

[Scribbler1]

I had some yellow-greenish gooey stuff my Wife brought back from her Mother's. It was delicious.

Over a hundred beers on tap and dime wings? I'm thinking road trip.

There is this place around here called Old Chicago. There deep dish pies are incredible with thick, fresh toppings. But the real draw for me is they boast an imported bottled beer selection of over 100 beers. Their beer menu is divided up into different countries. I love going around the world on their menu until I can't physically convey to the waitress what my next selection will be.

I hope you get into law school and graduate. You seem like a bright kid who would make an excellent lawyer.
