Dinner tonight. May 29, '19

[Kayelle]

Chef John inspired dinner tonight.

I actually baked his lemon bars for dessert, and dinner will be his Crab Stuffed Sole. I happened to have a very small package of fresh crab in the freezer, so this will be a good use for it.

It looks and sounds good to me, and I'll do some kind of fancy rice along with some steamed broccolini.

Here's his recipe, and the video looks simple enough.

What's cookin at your house?

 

[Andy M.]

Kayelle, perhaps you could change the date while you still can.

I had one of my favorite meals, Luca Lazzari's lasagne. SO had an Atkins dinner as we're going to a wedding in July and she has to fit into a certain dress.

 

[Hooker]

London Broil, baked potato, mixed veg and snowflake rolls for me. Pretty easy one tonight. I did spend some time prepping and steaming the the veg. Grill for the meat and MW for the spuds. The rolls I made on Monday. Less than an hour for the whole meal. It was a belt buster too.

 

[Kayelle]

Hi Hooker! Good to see you on the dinner thread. Welcome!

 

[Cheryl J]

I had a steamed artichoke with lemon butter for dipping, and the last scoop of a small potato salad I threw together yesterday.

Kay, that Chef John stuffed sole recipe sounds delish.

Welcome to the dinner thread, Hooker!

Sounds like a wonderful meal Kgirl and MrK....yet bittersweet. Have a safe trip back to AZ.

Sad day for you, I'm sure, K-Girl. Safe travels going back to AZ. At least you can look forward to playing with your new veggie cutters when you get back. Assuming they don't lose the luggage. Do you think they'd let you put them into you carry-on?

***********************************

I had better things to do than cook tonight (painted our wooden porch rocker, among other things), so we worked over leftovers. There was enough of the chicken with mushrooms, potatoes from a few days earlier, and veggies for tonight that we still have the hot dogs and potato salad left for tomorrow!

Welcome to the dinner thread, Hooker!

It was really good Cheryl but I cheated with the topping by squeezing Kewpi mayo all over the tops of the fish rolls and sprinkled Tajin' on the top.

 

[taxlady]

We scrounged leftovers and some really good hot dogs.

Mahalo, thanks gals!
And CG, my carry-on bag has already been stuffed with DH's
Hawaii purchase of Koa, an indigenous wood, replica of the main
Hawaiian Island Chain



Each time that we come home, we buy one piece of local
art to take back. DH has had his eye on this piece
for many years and it came down quite a bit
in price, so I convinced him to get it.

 

[Aunt Bea]

A chicken wrap, cucumber salad, and watermelon chunks.

The chicken was from a rotisserie chicken and the wrap was 1/2 of a Joseph's multigrain flatbread.

Last Night's Sausage & Peppers, "Stringbeets", and a Cheesy Idaho Whipped Spud.

 

[kenmiller]

Salid! included broccoli, corn, boiled egg, carrot, cucumber, lemon juice, mixed herbs, salt, and black pepper

 

[kenmiller]

Luckytrim, its looking very delicious

That's not a cheat - that's a variation!

Sounds great. I'm putting it on my list of things to try, but I'll swap the sole for local flounder and the Dungeness crab for local blue crab. Did you serve it with asparagus?

 

[GotGarlic]

DH shelled and blanched fresh peas from the garden, so I made a lemony, minty butter sauce to go with them, over black pepper and Parmesan ravioli. I also added a few capers. Roasted asparagus with lemon juice and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese on the side. And my mise en place, just for the fun of it

 

[medtran49]

Nice looking ravioli GG!


We had chicken and yellow rice with Cuban bread.

Yep, that Kewpie squeeze bottle really came in handy for this, and the Tajin' was effective. I used fresh chives from the garden in the filling, and finely diced red bell pepper. Your fish ideas sound great. SC was quite impressed.
