What Did Ya'll Have For Dinner Tonight?

[BeerGeek]

Gee Kyle, I didn't know your local Hunan Wok could churn out "Flied Lice" that looked almost appealing!...

 

[stikine]

Well, just to keep things moving...some spicy Cajun shrimp over a bed of corn polenta. Some curried cauliflower and broccoli on the side.

Corn polenta...............is there any other kind?

Looks fine, except for those dead, non-kosher, shellfish things.

I love Polenta.
Make it the Swiss way, with cheese.
I put a LOT of ratatouille in the freezer, that just goes so well with polenta in winter. Gives you that little taste of last summer.

Did a large batch last week and will have to do another this week, about 20 pds.
Also, the tomatoes are ripening fast, so another 20 pds of sauce for the freezer.

Corn polenta...............is there any other kind?

I was wondering how that would sound...this has fresh corn kernels added to the polenta mix when cooking. I like cheese in it also.

Crusty focaccia topped with sauteed black trumpet mushrooms, crispy potato, summer squash, a little ground beef and a poached duck egg. V good

 

[stig]

Stuffed eggplant.

I planted 3 types of eggplant this year, a striped one, a white japanese one and a black one called Syrian Stuffing eggplant.

So I figuredI'd try to stuff it.

Turned out to be a good idea, as my wife really liked it.
She is not as fond of eggplant as I am.

I had eggplant parm Friday. The Friday night dinner at my friend's farm was chicken parm, but they usually have a vegetarian option, and I don't eat chicken. It was very good, I think the mozzarella was even freshly made.

 

[Fiddler]

don't know yet, but it's pretty hot & muggy...something from the oven sounds tasty

 

[lxskllr]

Two jalapeño/cheddar sausages. Got some whole grain horseradish mustard from a farm today when I stopped in for eggs, and put that on it. It's ok, but not what I really look for in mustard. Flavor's good, but kinda sweet. I like absolutely no sugar, and very... fiery? Whatever you call that horseradish/mustard... burn? Kind of weird thing isn't it? People call it "hot", but that isn't exactly right. Pretty unique experience.

 

[stikine]

A bit of fresh silver salmon from the grill. Very good.

 

[ruel]

Rainy day pizza, good thing we don't run a three person show, 8 doesn't divide well that way

 

[flushcut]

Dinner for 14, ribeyes. Little family vacay

 

[stig]

Tomato soup.
I'm making a lot for the freezer, so we ate one portion right away.

Cherry tomatoes, onions, garlic and herbs baked for 40 minutes at high heat, then tossed in the blender.
My favourite recipe for tomato soup.

For freezing I just bag it up, then blend it when thawed out.

 

[Bodean]

Toughest vegetarian I know.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Slappin some tri tip on the grill after a bit of rub. Should sit nivmce on a salad

 

[BeerGeek]

Wife is away with kids looking at indoctrination centers (sorry, colleges) for my son, so I'm home alone. Cooked up some 15-min marinade london broil, reheated some asian rice, and grabbed the next serving from the 3-day salad I made:

Love me dutch oven cooking. Enjoy sitting around the fire listening to old school songs with a drink in hand

 

[Tree09]

Scored me a hand me down gas grill from my brother in law, and we're doing steaks. First time grilling at home this year lol.

 

[Jonny]

Grilled some ribeyes. Broccoli with cheese sauce side. Perfect.

I just made spam and cheese sandwiches, The bread was organic rosemary sourdough from wegmans. I saw it over the weekend, and picked it up. It was expensive as hell; $3 for a half loaf(8oz), but it's really good. I kinda wanted bread, but didn't want to invest in a whole loaf of anything. I've been pretty bad lately about buying bread and throwing half of it out when it gets moldy. I'll get it again. Not really losing money when you aren't throwing it out, and it's less wasteful. I can start getting full loaves again if I start eating more bread.

 

[Jonny]

I love my grill. Charcoal, propane, smoker, and a burner for a pot or pan.

I kept some hickory from a recent job, not sure what meat to smoke for starters but probably start with something inexpensive in case I ruin it. Maybe a whole chicken.

 

[stikine]

Pepper and jalapeno chicken. Collard greens on the side.
