What's for Dinner?

[Frunobulax]

Shredded beef tacos, rice and beans, and a Dr. Pepper

I just love that you polish off a meal with a Dr. Pepper.

Shrimp and cheesy grits made with some really spicy andouille. Love this stuff.

Definately a favorite around here. Might have to have some real soon.

Yeah, but the price of shrimp these days. Oy!

Thankfully I'm close enough to the Gulf Coast that fresh shrimp can be had without breaking the bank. I think the last batch I bought I gave a little shy of $8 a pound for. Seeing as hamburger is routinely upward of $5 a pound, I don't consider that too bad an investment for a fine meal.

Speaking of hamburger, I pulled some out of the freezer to put into a jar of spaghetti sauce for this evening. Probably serve it over macaroni. The smaller kids make less of a mess with it like that.

Two kinds of Indian chicken, a korma (kinda sweet) and a tandoori sauce, with basmati rice...

It is because Dr. Pepper goes so well with most meals.

Zucchini, grape tomatoes, and turkey sausage with garlic and thyme sprinkled with cheese and baked in the oven until the veggies are still crisp.

Healthy AND yummy!

Spaghetti for me as well with ground beef and hot Italian sausage. I also used a couple jars of Classico sauce which is the only one I've been able to find w/o added sugars or unidentifiable/unpronouncable ingredients. I typically "doctor" it up so much my uneducated palate believes it's homemade.

I prefer to make my own, but I'm no spaghetti sauce snob. I'll happily eat pretty much any of it. I usually keep a couple of jars of whatever is on sale in case I need a quick easy meal. And after a trip to the river with the kids earlier today, that is exactly what I needed.

Not sure how or when our tradition began but we celebrate Sunday nights with curry for dinner. My wife and I are both decidedly Anglo in heritage and practice but do love curry. I discovered a curry shop not far from our home. It does take-out only, the prices are very very reasonable and the quantities large. We order two dishes and naan. I pick it up and my wife cooks the basmati rice while awaiting. This is now our new Sunday tradition as the food is cheap and waaaay better than mine. I always wanted an establishment that knows my name but thought it would more likely be a bar/tavern NOT a curry house. Tonight we had Bagrain Bartha (eggplant) and Chicken Saag (a pureed spinach based sauce)

Same here. I have Roma's from last years crop in the freezer but Sunday's are busy for us and I'm sometimes into quick and easy.

Pasta al pesto, steeped steelhead and an entire bottle of Procedo Barbara. I'm not proud of the last. I really should have stopped at a half bottle but, damn, this stuff is good.

Beef wellington with asparagus and apple sauce.

 

[belfastboy]

I read these posts and think, "Damn, I need friends with better culinary skills AND will invite me for dinner!"

 

[Touchofevil]

Breakfast for dinner.
Bacon, cheesy scrambled eggs, homemade hash browns, and toast.

Beef wellington with asparagus and apple sauce.

Did you make it yourself? I've only ever had that out in restaurants - it's seems like a complicated dish to make at home.

 

[Oldsarge]

There are several ways to make Beef Wellington and some of them are indeed complicated. However, if you do a google search for 'individual beef wellington' you'll find that if you use frozen puff pastry from the grocery and some jarred or canned ingredients, it isn't bad at al. And asparagus is a snap to cook. Top it with aioli made by combining a cup of Best Foods (Hellman's) mayonnaise, 1 Tbs dijon mustard and a crushed clove of garlic and you're home free. Good food can be done easily. Just don't try to make anything out of either of Thomas Keller's first two books. They're wonderful to look at but the recipes? Not in this lifetime! Ad Hoc at Home is a whole different story. That one I love!

Tonight will be seared pork loin on a bed of apples, onions, ginger and cabbage cooked in dripping and cider vinegar.

 

[Oldsarge]

Tonight I'm entertaining. I'll serve a very hearty minestrone followed by ribeye steaks and pugliese bread. We'll be drinking a Medallion fine table red and she's bringing a fruit galette for dessert.

 

[Frunobulax]

Red beans & rice.
