Dinner June 5th, 2015


Barilla whole grain Penne Pasta
with sauteed Rapini or Broccoli Rabe
and Sweet Italian Turkey Sausage,
garlic, some dry white wine and
a coupla grates of fresh nutmeg;
lastly, a flourish of grated Grana Padano cheese atop it all...
Mangiamo!

 

[Cooking Goddess]

I made fancy-pants salads (note the in-house marinated green beans ). We also have grilled hot dogs and freezer-found mac-and-cheese, but the salads were so filling I'm not sure we'll ever get to those tonight. Then again...

 

[Kayelle]

We had Chinese take out tonight, as the bags are packed and the kitchen is closed. We're flying out in the morning for a week long history tour of Philadelphia, Williamsburg, Washington DC and parts in between.

 

[Cheryl J]

Looks good, kgirl.

Wow, Kay...you and Steve are off again! John Denver's "Leaving on a Jet Plane" came to mind as I was reading your post. Have a great time on your trip, looking forward to pics.

As for dinner, I had a nice cool fruit salad - watermelon, mango, nectarines, and strawberries. I've been working in the garage a good part of the day - sweeping, taking the tote bins off the shelves and wiping off the dust, etc...last thing I wanted to do was cook.


bibble, I hope your leg heals quickly, and welcome to DC.

Leftovers. Nothing exciting.

We ended up with Hardee's chicken tenders, and DH got one of their fish sandwiches.

I'm not a fan of chicken or turkey sausages. I had chicken brats in onion & beer. Still not a fan, never again!

I've had good sausage made with lamb, like merguez and a very interesting, smokey, Icelandic, lamb sausage. Poultry just makes such sadly, flavourless sausage.

And the more they add to it....... not much better.

My husband and I were going to go out to dinner last night, but it was stormy, so we decided to have our date in house. Went with a cheese board, charcuterie board, various chutnies and jellies, bread, cranberry and fennel crisps, grapes, and cauliflower fritters with a fig and mustard dipping sauce.

That's festive. What a great way to rescue date night and avoid the storm. Ooh, it includes cocktails and bubbly with the food.

DH and I went out to celebrate my birthday. DH had an Apple Manhattan and I I had a Pineapple Upside Down Martini and we started with a crispy pork belly appetizer. For dinner, I had a cider-marinated pork chop with mac 'n cheese and BBQ gastrique. DH had duck over polenta. For dessert, I had a warm brownie with ice cream and frambaise (raspberry) wine while DH had banana pudding with a glass of Sauternes. It was magnificent.

 

[taxlady]

That really does sound magnificent GG. I'm delighted you had such a great dining experience on your birthday.

Always the bubbly. I'm a big fan of Prosecco, and with its price, why not always have a bottle or two in the house?
