First Day of Summer Dinner - 4/19/2018

[tenspeed]

We had snow flurries here this morning, but Iceland is celebrating the first day of summer. I'm trying to get in to an Icelandic state of mind.

Dinner tonight will be chicken tenders in a bacon pesto cream sauce, served over spinach pasta, green salad on the side.

I am going to a meeting tonight and TB has overtime again. So, I am pulling out some things from the freezer. I will be having bangers and mash (sweet potatoes) and TB gets salisbury steak from his Mom. He can put it in before he takes Miley out and it will be ready by the time he gets back.

 

[GotGarlic]

I'm making chicken fajitas.

Nice weather today, so I'm planning to toss a burger on the grill. Not sure what else.

AWKK!!! first day of SUMMER! oh gosh - just realized Iceland only has two seasons...

Had a "Poor Man's Viener Schnitzel", Jasmine rice, and a 'medley' of vegies.

medley - aka - open fridge door grab what needs to be grabbed.

Leftovers, I think. Might be easier to make something from scratch, though, and only two portions. My microwave is failing! The #5 has been out for a couple of years. Well, today the Power Level button won't work. Nor will "reheat". I looks like it will be used to warm up coffee for Himself until we replace the thing. Otherwise, leftovers will be nuked "full speed ahead!".

One of those days. Glad there was a TJ's frozen Lasagna on hand. Not as good as mine, but pretty darn good in a pinch. Loaded salads thanks to SC.

 

[salt and pepper]

Snacked on this and had a couple chili dogs.

That looks delicious. Thanks for reminding me I have veal shanks in the freezer.

I had a thin crust - ham, bacon, pineapple and banana pepper with extra cheese pizza. A couple of Garlic and Parmesan wings.

Costco rotisserie Chicken with TJ's Hatch Chili Mac & Cheese and Lima Beans

 

[medtran49]

Thanks Dragon and Andy. It was the best batch we've ever made, probably in large part because the meat was nearly all the way cooked the day before and flavors melded overnight in the fridge. Plus, the extra fat congealed and could be scooped off the top, getting rid of more than just spooning off could.

GF brought home Indian..meh...gives me a belly ache(or should I say intestinal ache) around 3 a.m.

Although, I do appreciate the gesture..she is good to me..

 

[dragnlaw]

I was just realizing - I've made lots of risotto's but never milanese, nor have I ever made a gremolata! Bizarre!
