Midsummer..whats/was for dinner?
Jun 21^st, 2008 at 8:37pm

Grilled steaks, marinated in soy sauce, Lee and Perins, 1/4 tsp liq. smoke, some red wine vinegar, some seasoned salt and garlic. Grilled garlic bread. Salad tossed with romaine heart lettuce, roasted garlic, basil, Pleasoning seasoning (it's a local thing) EVOO and balsomic vinegar, bacon and moz. cheese and grape tomatoes and scallions and some sesame stick snacks crushed.

My "second" son (Austin, one of Dyl's friends) was here for dinner tonight and he loves to come for dinner. I love just sitting back and listening to the 3 of them break out in song while doing dishes and putting right the kitchen. Starts with Monty Python's "Lovely bunch of coconuts" and then transitioning into a rendition of the plague scene fron the Holy Grail, then all of a sudden they cut to "Phantom of the Opera" tunes. A tenor, a baratone and a soprano all joyusly singing and having a hell-of-a good time.

Now the 3 of them are off to a Saturday night summer movie fest with their friends and here I sit alone with a computer...sad really.

Ok..I'm officially pathethic. But with a full belly...

Grilled salmon (alder, oak and maple charcoal--makes a difference, you know?) a loaf of crusty bread with olive oil for dipping, and a salad with new lettuce.

I'm going to throw a few fresh basil leaves in with the salad. We've got a lot of it around right now.

See, I had a theory this year.

We planted our tomato plants in pots, and I put a bunch of basil plants in with them. Partly because--tomato, basil--you know. But also because I thought that just maybe the odor of the basil might keep off the tomato hornworms. So far, no hornworms. But I'm not ready to proclaim victory over the big greenies yet, 'cause the tomatoes are just flowering at this point.

Sorry for the diversion. Back to your regularly scheduled thread.

Best,

George

Brown beans (pinto) and corn bread.

Left over cornbread (left to get dry overnight) is terrific with honey and warm milk as a breakfast Ray...my kids love it. They will bake a loaf just to have in the mornings.

They like cooking, and they always bake 2x what they know we will eat for dinner to have at breakfast. And cost effective too. Syrup is just as good as honey too.

I hate all of you. Hate, loath, and poop on a stick! I'm but a poor, unloved Aussie stuck in mid-winter (night-time temp plunging to 55f) and I've only a nail for a blanket. I'd kill just for a bowl of punkin soup and probably eat the bowl into the bargain.

Regardless, I can dream about summer and some of her interesting meals.

As a side dish to hot chilli, put rough-cut cucumber into a mix of natural yoghurt, lemon, garlic and finely-chopped mint. Sprinkle with paprika.

Toss some mango chutney through the coleslaw. Sprinkle with lemon pepper.

Your bestest-ever tomato soup. Serve it chilled, including ice-cubes, topped with mint and lemon zest.

It's only dreams such as these will keep me alive until morning, the solstice being upon us, and if I should freeze before I wake....

Ya know, I had a really good salad yesterday with pan grilled chicken, lettuce, arugula, radicchio, frisee, chives, red bell peppers, olive oil & red wine vinegar... YUM!

I want to go to Tempura House and get some more platefuls of Hibachi Shrimp/Fish too!

I just had a bowl of steel cut oats & am now snaking on some white cheddar cheese curds.

I love food!
