Ain'ta nobody eatin' this Friday?

DW went out shopping and to dinner with her girlfriends, and I have the night off, so I'm making dinner for the boy and I.

There was a sale on small eye round roasts; a 2 fer 1, so I'm roasting 2 laid end to end, crusted in sel gris and cracked Telicherry, with sweet onions and garlic.

On the bottom shelf I'm baking spuds crusted in Himalayan pink salt.

When it's done and ready to rest, I'm going to saute some yu choy in garlic and Polish butter.

Artichoke hearts and black olive spread and walnut basil pesto on whole grained rye crisp bread. Homemade guacamole with tortilla chips. Veggie/pickle/olive tray.
 
Went to the restaurant supply place today. They had wild caught, dry pack diver scallops. Picked up a pound. Crudo prep with citrus juices, hot pepper, garlic, S and P. Seared scallops on a simple risotto finished with lemon zest and juice.

Case in point re discussion about spending bucks in a restaurant. The scallops were under $13. There were 9 to sear and either 5 or 6 for the crudo. Admittedly that was close to wholesale price, but you couldn't touch even 1 plate of crudo for that in a fine dining place.

I'm going to try a recipe for oven-fried chicken. I'll also make some mashed potatoes and thaw some chicken gravy for them. Haven't decided on a veggie yet. It's raining but I might run out to the garden for some rainbow chard and sauté it.
 
We're having leftovers tonight. beth, you can add that pizza to my "buffet" if you'd like...;)

I pulled beef veggie soup from the freezer. We'll have that with the last of the tuna salad.
 
Roast, spuds, and veg are done.

Pork loin with a honey miso glaze. Roasted potato wedges with togarasji seasoning. Baby bok choi. Black garlic and black bean sauce.
 
Wonderful dinner pics this evening, and great sounding dinners all around! :yum:

I nibbled on leftovers all day and into the late afternoon. Fruit, deli meats, cheese, crackers, olives, pickles. Trying to clear the fridge as much as I can before Christmas. :)
 
WOW great looking and sounding dinners tonight.


I did my delayed plans from last night and it turned out great. This is basically the recipe I followed but I served it all on a bed of cheese Polenta and it really took it over the top. Yumm..
