What Did Ya'll Have For Dinner Tonight?

[stig]

Them reeeetired folks sure have the time to cook good!
You've sure come a long way from grits and collard greens

 

[Burnham]

That's funny...as I recall, it was a toss-up for M and me whether to have the rice, or to cook up a pot of grits instead. We really enjoy grits, and regularly.

Collard greens...not so much.

I like grits and collard greens fwiw... when I can actually get collard greens.

Hamburger steak dinner from my local diner

 

[stikine]

Not really picturesque but very good... moose pot roast in the crock pot tonight.

 

[Czed]

Just simple Roast pork i made
Didn't need anything to make it better
Great as is.

 

[stikine]

I made some curried shrimp tonight.

 

[Bermy]

Home made lamb kebabs, nomnom

 

[Bermy]

Oh dear, where did they go?

 

[lxskllr]

Where'd they go?!

 

[Tree09]

More importantly, where did their friends go! I love kabobs, those looked delicious too!

Went to America's Diner, Denny's! Yeah it's basically, but it's as predictable, and that's what we go there. Had the turkey and dressing. Bird was a bit bland the dressing a tad salty. Yet still precious little survived. Kathryn Victoria had Mac and cheese. Which she never finishes. I don't blame her, I won't even touch the stuff.

I like Dennys. I used to have one less than a mile from me, but they closed up years ago. McDonalds prices, but better and more varied food. I'm a fan of old school greasy spoon diners anyway, especially the real oldies in the original diner cars. Those are getting hard to find these days.

Round two is awaiting assembly Kyle.

Tonight was bbq again: home made hamburgers, meat from a proper butcher, a roast veggie/fruit assembly of red pepper/tomato/apple/blueberry done on the bbq...the burgers put on mashed potato patties that had been roasted in the oven and both covered in cheddar cheese. Garnish of parsely from the garden. Gluten free...

I smashed the lot, went for a walk, came home had a bit of ice-cream.

Difficult day today, food therapy.

Fiona, good to see you and glad you are eating well. I can‘t imagine feeling that loss but my heart is with you.

 

[Bermy]

Thank you Gigi 💕
I enjoy making yummy food and it's part of my self care at the moment.

Chicken on a spit over oak and apple wood.

 

[stikine]

Another vegetarian tomato based soup tonight. Anyone want the recipe just reach out.

 

[Kaveman]

No, I live at the top of the food chain. Smells like BBQ up here.




The trip tip was so big I had to rearrange my brick grill. Too nice a cut of meat for propane.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Propane is only good enough to light my wood or charcoal.

 

[Bermy]

We were always wood bbq'rs before moving but someone gave me a BabyQ Webber gas bbq.
Its convenient, and the grill is nicely seasoned, it does the job.
As well, bbq season coincides with bushfire season here and open fire is a no-no for a lot of the time.
Mind, you. I've been know to bbq in the winter with a head torch, puffer jacket and a beanie, just to cook a steak because i will NOT fry a steak in the pan on the electric stove.

 

[vharrison]

Fiona i have a well seasoned cast iron pan that cooks a really good steak when the weather prohibits a fire.

 

[Kaveman]

I can cook a steak by pert near any method. But I do have preferences. Like Bermy, fire restrictions are a big deal here, so I can do a fine job with propane. That tri tip however, was grass raised, grass finished, marinating for a week. I would have never used propane, I'd have taken the damn thing to the nearest forest tire

 

[Kaveman]

Forest fire... Please gods show me an edit button so I can stop multiposting...

Made turkey dinner for the club yesterday. I did the birds and the members did the pot luck. Plenty of food. Cooked off the bones last night over night. Turkey soup tonight with pumkin pie 😁
