So, what did ya'll have for dinner tonight?

[CurSedVoyce]

Yeah Mon! :thumbup:

[Rborist1]

Family in town, East Indian food last night, buffet tonight, BBQ tomorrow, love my family but this has gotta stop, I am stuffed!

[MasterBlaster]

You don't wanna look like your avatar!

[flushcut]

Bratwerst and onion.

[MasterBlaster]

Somebody light a match!!! :\:



:lol:

[CurSedVoyce]

Chicken alfredo on varies pastas I had kickin... I prefer mine with mushrooms :D
Get some more garden picked I might do this Pasta Primavera Alfredo.

[flushcut]

Somebody light a match!!! :\:



:lol:
:lol:

[Bodean]

Chile Verde Super Burritos and Lagunitas IPA. Yum-Division.

[Rborist1]

Sounds yummy, I miss good Mex food, nothing up here even comes close. :cry:

[Paul B]

picked up a pizza, after a few days of camp eating, it was ok, the camp eats were better :)

[MasterBlaster]

It's so strange... I have no sense of meals (or days of the week) anymore. Just breakfasts, mostly.

[Paul B]

is it shift work that is throwing you off? I thought you were one of the disciples of discipline when it comes to the healthful eating and exercise regimen.

[MasterBlaster]

is it shift work that is throwing you off?

I guess that has something to do with it. And what does " healthful eating and exercise regimen" have to do with it? :?

[Paul B]

uhm, eating only breakfast doesnt seem to be a healthful eating regimen. I thought you were on the albacore (mostly) diet and exercising quite regularly etc. Your comment about no sense of meals and your recent comments about consumption of fairly large amounts of ice cream made me think that you were not being as dutiful as you have been the last couple or more years.

[MasterBlaster]

I wasn't being clear. "Only breakfast" means that that's the only sure meal I'll eat on a work day. I'll spend the rest of the day trying to hold out, eating any real "meal" after I leave.

I dunno...

And I quit ice cream.

[Paul B]

fair enough, thats more what I figured to hear. Power on!

[woodworkingboy]

Do you guys put nuts in your pesto? Never made it, but I have a whole bush of basil to do something with.

[Burnham]

If we're feeling wealthy, or it's a special occasion, pine nuts...but most of the time it's walnuts. But always one or the other. Oh, did pecans once or twice, they were good, too.

[woodworkingboy]

Sounds like nuts are an essential, thanks.

[Burnham]

They are in each of the several recipes we've consulted, but could be there's options I don't know of.

[Rborist1]

Chicken chilli tonight, yum.

[CurSedVoyce]

I use pine nuts in mine Jay.. hard habit to break and they give it that "snap".

[woodworkingboy]

Most recipes I scoped out recommend the pine nuts first, then Burnham's alternatives.

[CurSedVoyce]

Yup.. I lightly brown them in olive oil and let them cool... Then pesto they become :)

Making BLT's tonight as we have some tomatoes that are just begging to get eaten :D

[Dave Shepard]

I don't believe I've ever encountered a pine nut, either in the wild, or captivity. Please elaborate.

[CurSedVoyce]

Pine Nut

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine_nut

[woodworkingboy]

I've eaten them in mixed nuts. Very smooth oval shaped light colored oily nut, about the size of a peanut. A rather refined nut, I think you could say. Daff as a pine nut could be regarded as a compliment.

[flushcut]

Frozen pizza :( doctored up a little, but I am planning on making pork schnitzels tomorrow with a savory sliced apple something or another that I have yet to create and garlic mashed taters.

[CurSedVoyce]

Sounds like you could have used a couple BLTs yourself :)

[flushcut]

The only thing I need is the L part.

[CurSedVoyce]

Ahhhhhh..
Yeah I thought I was gonna have to run to the store for the L part myself. Then found some momma bought :D :/:

Guess I will be replacing her lunch salad lettuce tomorrow :lol:

[Paul B]

I made pasta tonight, spinach fettuccine with grilled chicken, bell peppers, olive oil and a smidge of garlic. Topped with a pinch of feta then grape tomatoes from the garden.

[Rborist1]

Homemade pasta?

I use our pasta maker all the time, nothing like fresh homemade pasta!

[Paul B]

sadly no, havent tried that yet, out of the box for us, thanks Catelli!

[Rborist1]

Go to lil Italy and get yourself a pasta maker with a electric motor, you will never look back. It's easy and fun!

[Paul B]

one day, its on the list ;-)

[Rborist1]

If Sierra Trading Company sold them, you would have one by now.

[Paul B]

nah, they are bible thumpers... Maybe MEC :)

[woodworkingboy]

Speaking of food gizmos, or in this case, drink, a liquor shop in the next town is installing some Italian or German wine drinking machines, I believe three bottles per machine. You stick your card in the machine and select, taste, half glass, or full glass, and automatically it comes out of the bottle into your glass, at the appropriate temperature, of course! Somewhere your cost gets noted, or it is a pre paid card. Six machines means eighteen different bottles of wine at your disposal. They are changing from a pure liquor store to also this self service wine bar, and in a location where a lot of folks are strolling around in the evening, all day really, and many can walk home. The place has also been remodeled to have a conducive atmosphere for the new arrangement. Some cheese and other condiments will also be available.

Though the machines are quite expensive, I think it is a dynamite idea. I know the architect managing the project, that's how I heard about it. The machines have to be imported, probably the first to enter the country.

[Rborist1]

Sounds cool, any pics by chance?

[Rborist1]

nah, they are bible thumpers... Maybe MEC :)

Bible thumpers................do explain please. I thought that you were a regular shopper of theirs.

[woodworkingboy]

Hopefully I can get some pics when the place opens. I think he said the machines are due to arrive next month.

[MasterBlaster]

Do they still play Pachinko like crazy, Jay?

[woodworkingboy]

Oh yeah, seldom are the parking lots not full at the popular parlors. They have cleaned many of them up a lot since you were here, more classy exteriors are common and they call them "gaming centers" or something else obtuse. Filtered air now (you could die from the tobacco smoke before), and things like women's hours where they get some kind of discount apparently. You don't so much see the seedy characters hanging around. Still the crazy deafening madness of the steel balls going around and around, but the machines are automatic digitalized now with little screens, you don't have to keep flipping a lever. The crane guy goes when he is out of work. He sometimes tells me when he wins five or six bills, but I think he often ends up giving it back, which he doesn't mention. They really hook you with their machine adjustments, regulated by law, but still.... Most of those businesses are owned by North Koreans, by the way, or the offspring of former ones that relocated here, mostly forced to during one of the Jap occupations, brought over as cheap labor. They got into those businesses when they were poor and discriminated against, and made a fortune. One operation I know of with a number of parlors, has it's gross around a million bucks a day. The bigshot lives in town. He had his whole block's street paved in red for some reason. They have a gravel and disposal operation going too, multi businesses, we get them to incinerate our brush for a fee. Some neat machines, too. You could park a railroad locomotive in their chipper infeed

[MasterBlaster]

Whoa, gotta name or model? Something to google?

[woodworkingboy]

No, but if I drop some brush off, I'll try to get a pic. Been meaning to but they moved it the last time I was there. It's a huge place with scales and rock crushers and lots of heavy equipment. They are kind of funny though, you don't go asking them questions unrelated to your immediate presence there, and if a limb falls out of the truck they go ballistic. The place is super clean. The only reason we can dump there is that the crane guy does work for them on the odd occasion. I don't get any of the nice, Oh you are a foreigner too smiles. They run a real tight ship, that is for sure. I don't know how many times I have been cautioned about being cool before going there alone, passing through the little pond to clean the mud off before hitting the scale while driving "SLOW". I know the routine, don't ask about Kim jong-il or anything. Being able to dump there is a big plus. Places like that is where he gets his money for his weapons of mass destruction. The Koreans have fervent ties to the homeland, for better and for worse. The haven't forgotten how the Japanese abused them, just about like everybody else in this part of the world.

[Paul B]

Craig, I have bought from them in the past but I always remember after the fact about the hit that gets taken with the customs duties and stupid UPS 'brokerage' fees as they only ship UPS. As for the bible stuff, its on some of their promo material and website, not that I honestly care, I was just teasing a bit. They have some religious quotes on their invoices and shipping forms that caught my eye once. http://www.sierratradingpost.com/lp2/we-believe/

[Rborist1]

Thanks for the link Paul.

Maybe I will email that owner what "I believe"; His companies duties, international shipping and brokerage fees are excessive.

[Paul B]

the shipping and prodcut costs are reasonable and sometimes great! The duties are courtesy of the gov't, what happened to free trade? I bought a pair of sneakers from them, for $55, + $20 Duty and $35 for the invoice for UPS brokerage fee, I had to divide that between the other $60 worth of products (+another $15 duty) to figure out that the deal wasnt so smokin.

[stig]

Do you guys put nuts in your pesto? Never made it, but I have a whole bush of basil to do something with.

Since pinenuts are worth their weight in gold around here, I've been experimenting with cashews.
Brown them on a very hot dry skillet first and they work just fine.
I'll usually toss some walnuts in as well, just for taste.
We grow our own walnuts, so I have plenty of those, but I don't like a pesto made only from walnuts.

[Tree Reb]

Tonight I had a kangaroo steak with red onions, some garlic prawns and two slices of leftover pizza.


Earlier I had a snack, had to pay for the frozen yogurt and tea. :(

Must have been hungry, it's a bit blurry. I'm not hungry now. 8)

[MasterBlaster]

Man, I gotta stop eating ice cream! But, what good is life then???

[stig]

Sex?
Jalapenos?
Fast cars?

I could go on.

[Rborist1]

Dim Sum here tonight, I am stuffed, burp!

[CurSedVoyce]

Spaghetti... I have been holding out with THE SAUCE for too long... It's time. Rob made some fresh bread this morning... Making some garlic bread to go with. The cinnamon rolls were also nice this morning. :)

[Paul B]

Chinese on the way tonight, free, they effed up the last two orders so this one is on them :D

[sotc]

Left over goulash

[MasterBlaster]

My employee meal: a grilled chicken breast sammich and Oreo McFlurry. I let them keep the fries.

[Rborist1]

Butch,

Do you get a free meal every shift?

[MasterBlaster]

Yes, sir. I stay away from most of it.

[CurSedVoyce]

Pot Roast...
Put some garden fresh rutabaga in the gravy to cook with the potatoes and carrots :)
Yummy. Served with some home made bread :)

[flushcut]

I went to Wongs Wok for the first time, in at least fifteen years, and it is as bad as I remember.

[CurSedVoyce]

HA!

Made cream of chicken soup last night. Pot roast the night before... I still have Mac & Cheese in the fridge... Thinking a left over night is in order.

[Rborist1]

Just had our first taste of a 1/2 a beef we ordered up, yummy stuff. Gotta luv farm grown beef.

[FJR]

Big box of rice, pound of chicken breasts and a pound of broccoli. Maybe a tub of greek yogurt for dessert. :D

[Rborist1]

[Al Smith]

[MasterBlaster]

I had a juicy McRib - the only one I'll allow myself. Dems some fattening bastiges!!!

[Rborist1]

I have not had one of those since the 80's.

[woodworkingboy]

I had chicken soup and some rice balls wrapped in seaweed. One rice ball had salmon inside, the other a fermented plum. The newly harvested rice is very tasty, me like it! Rice sits around too much and it looses it's flavor.

[CurSedVoyce]

Making some cream of broccoli soup with some broccoli out of the garden :)

[hmm]

One pot chicken. Baked chicken with stuffing and peas, Cream of asparagus soup poured over it then baked. Yummy and lots of left overs for lunch

[CurSedVoyce]

Took some left over pot roast gravy with veggies, added more meat (browned in the pan), onions, carrots, potatoes, green beans (frozen from the garden), rutabaga (also from the garden) and made a beef stew to go with some home made bread :) Yummy. I love cold weather food :)

[Burnham]

Three quarters of a pound of 31-40 prawns, sauted with caramelized onion and garlic and some Tiger sauce...served over steamed brown rice. Big garden salad on the side. Yum.

[Dave Shepard]

Moussaka, Greek salad, and garlic bread.

[MasterBlaster]

Double Super Sonic cheeseburger here!!!

[Al Smith]

[Mr. Sir]

Pepperoni pizza, sausage calzone, and fried calamari.

[Paul B]

made rosemary rubbed pork tenederoloin with wild rice and steamed carrots with broccoli. Mmmm good.

[woodworkingboy]

Oden. Most of what you see is made from fish, but some chicken too.

[MasterBlaster]

Grilled chicken breast sammich, soaked in cheese. That's the law.

That dish looks interesting, Jay.

[woodworkingboy]

All that chicken and seafood...egg, etc., does also make for a very tasty soup included. I imagine it is pretty healthy. Generally a cold weather dish, and you can even buy it hot at a 7/11. Tell them which foods you want included.

[Rborist1]

Got all gussied up in my fancy western shirt and took my wife out to a fancy joint for our anniversary.

[Paul B]

Red lobster? Those places rock, we dont get them on the coast, ironically..

[Al Smith]

Got all gussied up in my fancy western shirt and took my wife out to a fancy joint for our anniversary.Since you mentioned that ,fact is the other day I too had such an event .20 years ,can you imagine ?

[MasterBlaster]

Congratulations, Al. :thumbup:

[Paul B]

Indeed, congrats Al!

Making some beef strokem off tonight.

[CurSedVoyce]

NICE!

[sotc]

New york steak, garlic bread and ceasar salad. I couldn't bring myself to spend $40 on a steak in Tahoe. $24 for 4 steaks looked cheap for once!

[Paul B]

Gotta love home cooking. :)

I made meatloaf and a pile of quinoa. Turned out alright.

[CurSedVoyce]

I got fed at lunch as did Rob and Seth by the client with apple crisp for desert. So we had our Subway sandwiches for dinner :lol:

[MasterBlaster]

Meatloaf is my favorite meat! http://www.thecomputermechanics.com/forums/images/smilies/168.gif


I made meatloaf and a pile of quinoa. Turned out alright.

Once, I made a 7 lb one, and that was the after cooking weight.

[Paul B]

Thats pretty huge! I think the one I made was near 1.5 lbs of beef, plus an egg, some onion, breadcrumbs, spices, a couple carrots and a stick of celery minced in, more of those hidden veggies for the kid ;)

[MasterBlaster]

I was on a roll that night! :rockon:

[ChuckR]

38159

Stargazy pie tonight.

[Paul B]

looks interesting Chuck, whats that?

We had lefty greek, tomorrow I cook again, not sure what yet.

[ChuckR]

Its a Cornish egg/potato dish with pilchards (sardines) staring up at the stars. :)

[MasterBlaster]

Mmmmmmmm!!!

[Tree Reb]

Are you from Cornwall? Interesting recipe and story here.http://www.cornishlight.co.uk/fish-recipe.htm

About the only thing I've had that is Cornish is a pasty, and they have a bit of a story to them.

Roast lamb for me with garlic, pumpkin, potato, red onion, carrot and broccoli.:)

[ChuckR]

Pasties are excellent. I like them better than Stargazy, that's for sure. But I enjoy the story of the heroic fisherman Tom Bawcock. And the omega fatty acids aren't so bad, either! I'm not Cornish but enjoy a sardine now and again.

[CurSedVoyce]

Roasting a couple chickens and some potato wedges at present :) Maybe some green beans from the garden are also in order.

[ChuckR]

Were those beans frozen? You don't have fresh out there, do you?

[CurSedVoyce]

Yes, we blanched them and froze them straight from the garden. We harvested about 35# this year.

[Paul B]

went out to dinner tonight, annual strata council festive season dinner paid for by the strata :D chicken asiago penne, sorry, no pics.

[CurSedVoyce]

Made some chicken noodle soup tonight from the left over chicken I had from 2 dinners. Used some leeks and rutabaga from the garden. It was yummy :)

[Paul B]

[ChuckR]

38267Tapped the home made kraut tonight. Six weeks in and it's great!

[MasterBlaster]

Home made Kraut? Sweet!!!

[Rborist1]

Went to a new sushi place last night and had a tonne of awesomeness! :D

[stig]

That sauerkraut looks inviting!

I made a chickpea/spinach/coconut milk curry.
And sliced a fennel ultrafine on the mandoline for a sidedish, just dressed with a bit of Greek olive oil and lemon juice and a handfull of pomegranate kernels. Easiest way in the world to make a salad.

The chili was quite hot. Both dogs , who are great lovers of leftovers, had a hard time eating it.
They got through it, but had to take a couple of time-outs to cool their tounges:lol:

[MasterBlaster]

I had a bacon cheeseburger from a new restaurant in town - Five Guys Burgers & Fries. Ya'll ever heard of that place? Tasty, but not cheap - 11 bucks for a burger and small fry.

[Burnham]

You work at a burger joint and when you go out for a meal you have a burger??
:what:
Maybe you need to excercise little more imagination, Butch my friend.
:P

[MasterBlaster]

The only thing I eat at Micky Dees is the grilled chicken breast or oatmeal. Nowadays, I only eat red meat occasionally and never at work.

[tophopper]

Homemade chili tonight :)

[CurSedVoyce]

I treated myself to a 13.00 black angus double cheese burger yesterday for lunch.... Ohhhhh it was good!

[Frax]

[CurSedVoyce]

Chicken Florentine on choice of rice or pasta with a white sauce and green beans :)
Had a surprise guest tonight as well. Good thing I pulled enough chicken breasts to thaw this morning.. Starting to feel like working at the Mansion again. SURPRISE, More guests wanting dinner!

Mmmmmm... the Mansion....

[CurSedVoyce]

Yeah... maybe once Kimberly left it got more fun... Oh well.

[MasterBlaster]

I imagine the worst day there was better than the best day here, rooting tooting!

[CurSedVoyce]

Ummmmmm No.. By the time that place was finished with me and I it, I had dark circles under my eyes and needed medication. Seriously.

[MasterBlaster]

Dayum.

[CurSedVoyce]

Place was pretty crazy and you never knew moment to moment what was going to happen, good or bad. One moment you were awesome, next you were being yelled at or questioned about stuff often not knowing WTF and expected to answer.

[MasterBlaster]

Hell, ain't that any job, lol?

[CurSedVoyce]

On a whole new level ;)

I'm just getting over the flu and have passed it on to my wife, so I figured soup would be good.

So we are having pumpkin soup with lots of garlic and fresh ginger.

And not totally vegetarian, either.

While I was chopping the ginger, I got to thinking about the big, damasqued veggie chopper, that I have commissioned a knifemaker to make for my partner, Richard. He has been wanting one for a long time and it'll be such a fine gift for him, since the handle will be made in sneezewood from his mothers farm in South Africa.

When you start thinking about other stuff while chopping ginger with a japanese chef's knife, the soup doesn't end up being totally vegetarian:lol:

[MasterBlaster]

Sneezewood, eh? What a strange name.

[stig]

Inhaling the dust from sanding it makes you sneeze.

I recently put the piece , I got from Richard through the bandsaw.

It was like standing in a cloud of freshly ground black pepper.

[Tucker943]

What is this mansion you all speak of?

[CurSedVoyce]

Hugh Hefners house., if you are referring to MB and I talking bout it.

[Tucker943]

YOU WORKED THERE?!?!?!? Man o man, would I LOVE to sit down on the tailgate with you and pick your brain. In fact, its on my bucket list now.

[CurSedVoyce]

Yeah, worked there for a while as a banquet and evening chef. Was more of a sous chef job in a lot of ways as they had an executive chef I worked under. Not all that exciting but rather stressful as jobs go.:|:

[Tucker943]

I can imagine. Just tell me this.... Did you ever see anything noteworthy? I'm not fishing for graphic or detailed answers. A yes or no would work?

[CurSedVoyce]

Note worthy.... Note that what you see in a magazine ain't what you see or get in real life face to face :D

[Tucker943]

Hahahahah

[CurSedVoyce]

I wouldn't mind being their tree guy though :D I believe they have the only stand of sequoia in so cal as well. Or was it red wood. I forget.

[Paul B]

steak, spuds and green beans here tonight, just making it happen.

[MasterBlaster]

A double cheeseburger from Sonic. DAMN I luvs me some Sonic burgers!!!

[Tucker943]

Never had one. Better than 5 guys?

[MasterBlaster]

Way better and way cheaper. Five Guys is a rip-off.

[CurSedVoyce]

Made chicken quarters cooked in mushroom gravy with mashed pots and green beans. Making some ham and bean soup as well for tomorrow or the day after.

[stig]

Didn't have it yet, it is on the burner.

Rösti (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%B6sti), which I've been making ever since working in Switzerland as a youngster, steamed brussel sprouts, glazed with butter and horseradish and as an erzats salad: carrots, Jerusalem artichokes and ½ a red onion, sliced paper thin on the mandolin and marinated with tamari, ginger, lemon juice and cold pressed canola oil.

Nothing fancy, just winter veggies but it'll be pretty good, I think.

[CurSedVoyce]

Sounds awesome.
Thanks for the name of that dish Stig. We just called it Swiss Potato Cake and it is actually one of my favourite ways to eat potato.

[stig]

The way I was taught to make it was to grate the raw potatoes coarsely, then rinse them in cold water to get rid of all the starch released by the grating.
I find it really makes a difference.

[MasterBlaster]

That looks like hash browns to me. Tasty!

[CurSedVoyce]

A big hash brown sammich is how used to make it. Cheese (swiss usually) or cheese and apples in the middle.. Yummy!

[MasterBlaster]

Always cheese... and ketchup!

[stig]

Scredded onions and wild mushrooms mixed with the potatoes if great, too.

In that case, grate the potatoes well ahead and soak them in cold water.

Makes them swell up and the end result becomes less soggy.

Old news to you, Stephen, I know:)

[hmm]

HMM. TONIGHT TONIGHT. I had cabbage tonight. Stir Fry. Onions and garlic sauteed in a little oil. Cabbage sliced thin like slaw, in the pan until slightly wilted. Add 1/2 tbsp rice wine vinegar and 1 tbls Soy sauce. YUMMY that with nice Rib eye.

[Paul B]

nice bump! hot dogs and salad here, many great meals since the last post. :)

[MasterBlaster]

Grilled chicken breast sammich!!!

Hey Shari!

[hmm]

HI BOSS

[MasterBlaster]

How's the married life? All roses and farts and stuff? :lol:

[hmm]

not married - living a life of possibilities - fun at times not so at others - not nice being wrong all the time BUT he loves my cooking

[MasterBlaster]

Wrong all the time? Lawdy... be careful, girl.

[hmm]

thanks for the advise and I do listen take all that is given with understanding.

[MasterBlaster]

I hope to heck you're not letting yourself get 'abused.'

[sotc]

Smoked a couple pork butts all day yesterday. Had some asparagus and rolls with it. Did up a vinegar sauce and a bbq sauce to go with them

[CurSedVoyce]

Damn that sounds good Willie...
I treated us to pizza last night. Just Wyatt, Rob and I at home. Momma and the kids were at an Easter party with a bunch of other parents and kids. I had to work :(

[Burnham]

Fettuccini alfredo: fresh homemade pasta, fresh parmesan, Tillamook butter and half and half, fresh Italian parsley. Sauted some asparagus with garlic in a bit of olive oil to go with, and a couple of glasses of Willamette valley pinot noir.

Not bad at all. A guy could do worse :).

[Tucker943]

Sounds tasty B. I'm off from working today. I think tonight I want to light the charcoal grill and lay some ground chuck burgers on top.

[stig]

That sounds like something I'd enjoy, Burnham.:)

[Burnham]

I know you would have, Stig. Right down your alley...no dead animals.
:D

[CurSedVoyce]

Stig would have not liked dinner tonight. Goat chili. Twas yummy!

[MasterBlaster]

Gimme a bowl! http://www.thecomputermechanics.com/forums/images/smilies/168.gif

[CurSedVoyce]

Melted cheese with sour cream on top and a side of baguette bread.

[stig]

T'is true that I prefer chili non carno to goat chili:lol:

I love goat cheese, though.
