What Did Ya'll Have For Dinner Tonight?

[stikine]

I'm really liking all the greens lately. They are sort of primal.

 

[Bodean]

Hunter gatherer.

 

[Burnham]

We hunted and gathered at the grocery store and tonight had seared ahi, and orzo with pesto, fetta, and hot chilies. Side plate of ripe avocado halves and sliced sweet red peppers.

 

[stikine]

Keeping it simple tonight with some Mac and cheese/broccoli with a side of asparagus.

 

[stig]

I fried some Gnocchi and green asparagus with a bit of garlic in olive oil, added some lemon juice, salt and pepper just before serving and sprinkled grated Parmesan cheese over it.
Not half bad.

 

[stikine]

Hardly newsworthy but a bit of spaghetti and Italian sausage tonight.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Pizza, left over from lunch.
Mom bought like 6 pizzas for lunch while we were killing her tree. That was like a pizza per individual counting them. Sooooooo. Two meals is cool...lol

 

[lxskllr]

Nice presentation for a "standard" meal Austin.

Pizza's always good. Haven't gotten one out in awhile. Might do that tomorrow.

 

[stig]

I'll be doing that today.
Started the dough yesterday,cold raising it for 24 hours.
Paper thin Italian pizzas tonight.

 

[Burnham]

Salmon fillet on the smoker grill, with some halved zucchini in there with it.

 

[stikine]

Wild caught I hope!

 

[stig]

Knowing Burnham, he probably shot it.
Through the bottom of a boat.

 

[Burnham]

Wild caught I hope!

I wish I could say yes, Austin...but no.

Frankly, we find farm raised Atlantic salmon superior in flavor to anything wild caught, in our markets. Not sure that makes me completely happy to admit, but there is the bald-faced truth.

 

[stikine]

Stab to the heart B! Hopefully I can share some pictures of our wild caught salmon on the grill soon.

 

[Burnham]

I'm sure yours is beyond wonderful, my friend.

We labor under the nearly lost anadromous runs here in the lower 48. Doing the best we can to survive .

 

[stikine]

Yup, things are not so good up here also. One out of two canneries will not open again here this summer.

 

[stikine]

Projected returns are dismal currently.😞

 

[Burnham]

Aquaculture has plenty of possible negatives for the environment, but I hope at least that it's better than humans eating every single thing out of the seas until they are empty.

Also, it's hard to justify spending twice or three times as much on a sometimes less satisfactory product.

We enjoy farmed salmon, shrimp, scallops, mussels, swai, catfish, talapia. Still getting wild caught yellowfin reasonably priced, and halibut not so . Wild caught pacific cod, too.

Eat a fair bit of seafood. I'd hate to give it up.

 

[stikine]

No pics tonight but made some pan sheet shrimp fajitas for the win.

 

[Tree09]

That sounds lovely man

 

[stikine]

Just a bit of yardbird tonight, Elvis came along for the ride for all the old timers

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Took some left over chicken and made a taco salad out of it.

 

[stikine]

Dungeness crab cakes. Elvis showed up again.

 

[stig]

May I reccommend this guy.
I've tried some of his recipes and they are really good.
Simple Spanish peasant food, but so tasty.

Made one of his dishes tonight. Pretty good and the wifey liked it. Moorish-spiced Spanish Garbanzo Beans.
