Last night was the "star" meal at the Brewhaus. From scratch, Famous Dave's recipe for chicken and wild rice soup. Chock full 'o goodies like chicken (of course), onions, carrots, celery, mushrooms, red and green pepper, shoepeg corn, and seasoned with salt, pepper, white pepper, cayenne, and nutmeg. Served with a little half and half and toasted almonds. Make about a gallon and a half, so there are plenty of leftovers.

When it's my Sunday with the kids, it's usually home made soup and fresh baked breads, but like I said I've been lazy all day today, so it was something fast and simple and no effort.....

Parental unit took us out to dinner to celebrate our birthdays. Started with the raw bar....cherrystone clams, oysters on the half shell, clams casino, steamed shrimp and mussels followed by a yummy salad, scallops sauteed in butter and garlic, filet mignon, garlic potatoes, warm homemade bread and a few glasses of merlot. Great company and good food.....doesn't get any better than this!!!

Came home and jumped into sweat pants with a huge elastic waistband. I am so glad birthdays only come around once a year. Gonna have to double up on the walks around the neighborhood this month. ;;D.

An ultra-thin crust Pizza smothered with: Romano, Parmigiano-Reggiano and Mozzarella Cheeses, then covered with a generous helping of Caesar marinated Chicken Breasts and a medley of spices. No tomato on this puppy.

...It seems that I had forgotten to eat yesterday... so this was a late night snack.

Then.... Scrambled eggs with fried red peppers and boloney on a kaiser roll.
SLURP!!!

I wish you could have all tasted some.

with warm regards,
Tony

Last night - homemade chicken strips, french fries and onion rings seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder and Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning. Cooking them in peanut oil makes sure they cook up crisp and light without any greasy taste.

Tonight, I'm thinking either Potato Soup or Swiss Steak.

Title: Re: Whats for dinner?
Post by Melissa on Mar 19^th, 2007, 9:47am

Tonight is zesty Italian pot roast with red potatoes, carrot coins from our garden that are boiled and then baked with butter and brown sugar and for dessert is either peanut butter pie or pumpkin cream pie (I can't make up my mind yet).

Tonight I think I slave for a while and make something good ...

Meat loaf, gravy, mashed potatoes, and mixed veggies ...

Yum YUM!!!

BUT, it is a lot of work, to pull it out of the freezer, take it out of the box, remove covering over mashed potatoes, nuke for 4 minutes, stir potatoes, and nuke for 3 minutes more ...

WHEW!! I will be tired after that!!!

Helen,

We have a whole section at the grocery store now for nuts, and essentially you can get any nut made into butter.

mmmmm cashew butter

mmmm heart attack

Title: Re: Whats for dinner?
Post by LeLimey on Mar 19^th, 2007, 1:54pm

cashew butter - oh wow that sounds good!

VERY small doses of that I think though LOL Actually peanut butter's saving grace is that it makes your mouth so sticky it naturally limits what you can eat!

Yorkshire Puddings Recipe

To make a Yorkshire pudding to serve six to eight people, you will need a roasting tin measuring 12 x 10 inches (30 x 25 cm) with a solid base (it needs to be solid enough to be placed over direct heat – a vital part of the whole technique). Begin by placing a sieve over a large mixing bowl, then sift in 6 oz (175 g) plain flour, holding the sieve up high to give the flour a good airing as it goes down into the bowl. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that self-raising flour will give more spectacular results – it won't. Plain flour is much better.
Now, with the back of a tablespoon, make a well in the centre of the flour and break 2 large eggs into it. Add a pinch of salt and some freshly milled black pepper. Measure 6 fl oz (175 ml) milk and 4 fl oz (110 ml) water into a measuring jug.
Then begin to whisk the eggs with an electric whisk and, as you beat them, the flour around the edges will be slowly incorporated.
When the mixture becomes stiff simply add the milk and water mix gradually, keeping the whisk going.
Stop just before the end and scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula so that any lumps can be pushed down into the batter, then whisk again until all is smooth. Now the batter is ready for use
To cook Yorkshire pudding – remember the golden rule, keep everything hot: hot oven, hot tin, hot fat and don't forget good oven gloves to protect your hands. Remove the meat from the oven (or if it's not ready, place it on a lower shelf) and turn the oven up to gas mark 7, 425°F (220°C). Spoon 2 tablespoons of beef fat or solid vegetable fat into the Yorkshire pudding tin and allow it to pre-heat in the oven.
When the oven is up to temperature, remove the tin with your gloves on and place it over direct heat (turned to medium). Then, when the fat begins to smoke a little but before it ignites! - pour in the batter. Spread it it evenly all round the tin and then place the tin on a high shelf in the oven and cook the Yorkshire pudding for 40 minutes or until golden brown and crisp.
Serve it cut into squares double quick! Yorkshire pudding doesn't like waiting around it gets soggy and mushy. Try to time its cooking so that it is taken from the oven just as you are sitting down to eat.

ENJOY!

PS I have a gluten free version if anyone is celiac or wheat intolerant too by the way.
