What Did Ya'll Have For Dinner Tonight?

Air Fryer Hasselback Sweet Potatoes

Air Fryer Hasselback Sweet Potatoes are gourmet side dish loved by all . They are full of smoky sweet flavors. Crispy outside and tender soft inside potatoes are easy to make.

I didn't use an air fryer. Regular oven just takes a bit longer.

My new oven has an airfryer setting.
I'm starting to like that a lot.

The mail order bride, being from the german part of Schweiz, is a big potato lover.
Home fries turn out real good on the air fryer.

Taco potato with a half a jar of Pace Hot and 4 home canned jalapeños.

Apparently you can build a spice tolerance just like a alcohol tolerance.

Delmonico Mac n cheese.

g .

Just the usual Saturday night.

What are those white worms?

I baked 2 eggplants, halved and covered in ratatouille from the freezer.
Easy and good.

Making an American goulash tonight.

For the hell of it I am going to add a can of chick peas too.

 

[stikine]

Nice, take a picture... of course I realize that goulash isn't always picturesque but who's to say?

 

[FireFighterZero]

I didn't remember until the second helping.

It was pretty good. Liked the chick peas in it.

Could have easily put some cabbage or swiss chard in it too.

We had brisket and pulled pork at my father in laws tonight. No pics. Brisket was ok. Pork was excellent. I think the guy that did the brisket cut to much fat off. It wasn’t dry but lacked flavor

 

[FireFighterZero]

I have never had good brisket.

Only ever had my own....

 

[treebilly]

I’ve only smoked two myself. First one was awesome. Second one was ok. I’m gonna smoke some chicken quarters soon. Just need good enough weather to invite people over since I screwed up and froze them in ten pound bags. That’s a lot of yard bird for one family to eat

 

[Jonny]

There’s almost endless options for leftover chicken though, and soup or broth with some meat freezes nicely for a while.

I’ll be playing with whole or quartered chickens on my smoker once it warms up a little.

Didn’t brisket used to be like one of the cheapest cuts of the cow? Did a double take last time I shopped for beef and bought strip steaks because they were a better price.

 

[stikine]

I have never had good brisket.

Only ever had my own....

Well, I guess that's the best brisket you've had then!

 

[treebilly]

You are correct Jonny. I think this boom of people smoking foods has driven prices way up. Of course I blame sports bars for the huge over inflation of wing prices

 

[stikine]

Not super special but the wifey had bought this curry kit so I made it up. Let's eat!

 

[Tree09]

Chicken wings were once the cheapest cut too

 

[Jonny]

Yes, good for soup and not much else except for at one little place with a bunch of drunk people. Crazy expensive now. Damn you Anchor Bar! Their sauce ain’t even that good lol. If any of y’all are ever in the area and looking for excellent wings, try Roman Cafe in North Tonawanda, or Buzzy’s in Niagara Falls. My experience so far anyways. There’s plenty of restaurants with good wings, but those two really stand out as some of the best.

Some places go cheap on their ingredients, I really hate seeing broken bones in wings. Makes me wonder if the animal suffered for some time before it died. Plus it adds more choking hazards and possibility of puncturing one’s mouth or tongue with a splinter.
Also there’s places that I’ll never order from again because there’s clearly deep fried feathers still attached. Yuck.

Yesterday was 'make it up as you go' with pasta.
One chopped red onion in a little olive oil from my friends olive grove/farm (Glendale Olives) brown some cubed chicken breast, six tomatoes from the garden, some broccoli, a few anchovy stuffed olives, parmesan, oregano, S&P. Not bad.
Today, chicken, leek and mushroom sausages, with mashed potato and mashed sweet potato. The mash has lashings of butter, some condensed milk, S&P and a dash of parmesan just because.

 

[Bermy]

Eek, not condensed milk! Evaporated milk!!!

 

[flushcut]

Left over Easter ham and mashed taters.

 

[stig]

Fried beans and rice and the first lettuce from the greenhouse

 

[Burnham]

Homemade basil pesto from the freezer on homemade fettuccini and a batch of sauteed prawns in garlic. A salad, too. Easy and good.

 

[FireFighterZero]

I took a DiGornio stuffed, rising crust pepperoni and doctored it up some.

An obscene amount of crushed red pepper, two of my canned jalapeños, Frank's Red Hot, some spicy pepperoni, a squirt of pizza sauce, garlic parmesan seasoning and some cheddar cheese.

It was very very good.

 

[stikine]

How'd the kids like the spicy factor?
Or was that your piazza?

 

[FireFighterZero]

Dad got his own tonight!
