What Did Ya'll Have For Dinner Tonight?

I also like horse meat sausage (it's dark in color)

Poached cod, steamed broccoli and Greek style potatoes.

Wife cooked it. Absolutely delicious.

And no pictures, damn.

I tried like hell.

I have no credibility as a tree man...pictures of food and whatnot are all i have here.

For whatever reason...I still can't post a picture of dinner.

Shrimps fried in garlic butter and some vegetables.

Yummy

Instant Pot split pea soup. I couldn't find the recipe I used last time, so I'm winging it. I'm not sure you could really screw it up anyway.

Making chicken enchiladas in verde sauce.

That’s ok we still love you! Tree guy or not you’re part of the crew.

Max was so hungry, he did eat a horse

 

[Dave Shepard]

Success! It was a little less soupy than last time. I used a quart of low sodium veg stock. I think I can skip that next time. I might try a shorter cooking time. The onions pretty much dissolved, which was a disappointment. The gluten free spinach wraps I toasted were a flop, also. Damn cheap grub.

Hey Dave, not all is special looking but the taste and edible factor counts.

 

[Dave Shepard]

I've never worried about how food looks. In fact, people who do worry irritate me intensely.

And yet, beautiful food always tastes better!)

And yet, beautiful food always tastes better!)

We eat with our eyes first, then our nose, then our hands, and finally our mouth. It is the journey, start to finish that truly makes a meal!

But to be fair, presentation has always been so much garnish in my views. I have found the above colloquialism to be false. I tend to eat with my nose first, savoring the scent of fine cooking in all its subtlety.

The sense of smell is the one most closely tied to memory. Thus, ones favorite meal fills the kitchen and the house with a certain joy, which is deep seated, individual, and pure.

There's something about the smell of onions, quietly cooking in butter, the foundation of so many delicious dishes, that immediately makes me hungry and signifies an excellent and hearty meal to come.

And yet split pea soup is ugly but tastes amazing. Old adage is never judge a book by its cover.

Onions and bacon cooking together is divinity on earth and the closest thing to being kissed by an angel.

Well...that and people who have the audacity to eat in your presence....

Sometimes I like to try something I haven't tried before. Today I tried bull root. I hope you understand what kind of root it is!

 

[stikine]

Dungeness crab cakes tonight.

Hamburger steak with cooked onions.
Deglazed the pan with some Coors beer when i cooked the onions.
So good...

Chickpea penne. Homemade pasta sauce. Boxed tomato puree and strained tomatoes. Diced garlic and onion some assorted dried spices. It made enough for a starving regiment. I think if I try this again I will try to sauté the alliums and get some fresh basil. 6/10 edible, better than oatmeal again, would not recommend.

Smoked chicken breast off the Weber with sautéed sweet onions, garlic, mushrooms, and garden kale. Steamed brown rice under it all.

There's an idea.

You might try smoking whatever you make next time to make it all the better. Smoked sides are good, even smoked cheese.

I don't know about smoked oatmeal, though.
