Tonight's fare is a couple of flat bread pizzas. Sausage and mushroom or goat cheese and spinach.

Yum!!! But that sausage & mushroom appears to be pepperoni & mushroom, yes?

No sir. It was link Italian sweet sausage leftover from the day before and sliced thin so it won't go to waste. And most certainly yum. Of course it was accompanied by several Newcastle's (the wife was drinking black and tan)

After a weekend of eating huge meals, we decided just a tossed salad was the ticket tonight. Boiled a few eggs and diced up some leftover ham to spruce it up a bit. It was great!

Boiled some spicy brats in beer and then grilled them. Some chips and dip rounded out the nutritious meal.

OMG goat cheese in my area is $20 a pound and is considered a delicacy in my family because we don't get to eat it that much because of its expense.

I like 'em with some grilled veggies. Maybe onions, peppers and zucchini ... now I'm hungry.

It's not that cheap here either but we do love it. My problem with U.S. cheeses is that by law they all must be pasteurized. This does affect the flavor, especially if you've tasted the fresh stuff in France.

Large Pepper Steak Sub with extra meat, mayo and ketchup. Small order of fries with a side of mayo for dipping.

Tonight, I believe I'm going to grill/bbq some chicken breasts, along with some new potatoes and broccoli and carrots and prolly some nice bread with butter.

 

[dontpanicbobby]

@shalemail Can I have some?
I'll send you shipping instructions.

OT: I've got to ship those boots soon. That boy's going on a long hike and he needs some sturdy footwear. He plans to start in 2019.

The key to tender, juicy grilled chicken (it's no secret, yet most people don't bother)

Brine before grilling and rest after.

I've mentioned this on the grilling thread, I use simmered coffee with spices to brine/marinade my meats prior to grilling - 12-24 hours prior, that + the rest (rest is SO IMPORTANT) gets moist juicy meat every time.

I finally tried grilling spatchcock chicken and it was plenty juicy without brining.

Just made shrimp dumpling soup. Going to make shrimp fried and lobster Cantonese.

Mission accomplished. The belly god is appeased. The lord of slumber now demands sacrifice.

 

[olbriar]

I had shrimp tonight as well no one. They were the frozen stick in the oven type but pretty tasty. I haven't had shrimp in some time. Was very good for something different.

 

[GameTheory]

Nothing like some French toast and an espresso at 6 pm for a snack.

ooh la la, magnifique!!!

More steak. I need to start thinking about sides.

I have some bone in country ribs for the Dutch Oven today. Simply some salt an pepper and sear the side. Sweat onions, carrots, and garlic in the bottom of the dutch oven, put the seared ribs on top, add in some chicken broth, tomato paste, and some bay leaves. Cook in the oven at 300 for 3-4 hours and serve on a bed of rice or mashed potatoes. We're going with potatoes today.

It's a good meal for a cold, rainy Sunday.

They are bone in country style pork ribs. Not ribs in the sense that they come from the rib cage. These are cut from a pork butt.

BTW, this is what happens when it rains, you can't leave the house, and you watch cooking shows all morning.

Tonight was chicken parm. Normally I'd make it with fresh parm, but for now my stores have the longer lasting shredded stuff.

...and elbows because pasta is wiped out in the stores...

Grilled Cheese in the pan.

Last night I fixed some deluxe burritos. I had some leftover pulled pork and cooked up some pinto beans for the dish. Shredded pork and beans with some sour cream and shredded cheddar wrapped in a tortilla and smothered with chili, hot sauce, and a few sliced jalapenos makes a hearty meal. No pics... we dove in like vultures
