Monday 16th July Dinner

[CWS4322]

I had so much for breakfast (http://www.discusscooking.com/forums/f104/what-have-you-had-for-breakfast-lately-70240-148.html)

I'm still not hungry. I do have some dragon tongue beans and other veggies in the fridge (from the garden). Thinking I might steam a bunch of veggies, toss in the leftover quinoa, some curry powder or turmeric, EVOO, and call that a meal.

Pork and shrimp Chop Suey.

 

[AlisonC]

I had to harvest lots of basil from my garden before it flowered so I made a big batch of pesto. Have nice nice tomatoes from the garden too so, grilled chicken breast with pesto and a Panzanella salad.

 

[Steve Kroll]

Oh, well. At least you're getting 'saam ting' you really like.

It only took a couple of hours, but I finally got it.

 

[DaveSoMD]

I making a boneless pork roast in with carrots, celery, onions, and garlic. Also baking some small red potatoes and I'll probably cut up the last of the zucchini from the garden and some cucumbers.

 

[Kylie1969]

cold & wet here today(so what's new!!) needed heat & comfort so:
malaysian rendang spicy pork ball & potato curry with turmeric rice

Delicious as always H

 

[Kylie1969]

Yeah, it's not amaranth, although he sells that, too. This particular vegetable tastes exactly like regular leaf spinach, but has a much thicker stalk. The stalk is actually the best tasting part, I think.

Edit: It may be "Malabar Spinach", aka saan choy. The photo looks similar:

Steve, that looks very similar to our baby spinach over here

 

[buckytom]

another change of plans for us.

exhaustion is catching up to me again (4 days until vacation, though), so i slept until 3pm. woohoo, 5 hpurs sleep!

so after cleaning the pool, swimming with my boy and patching a leak, dw surprised us with a nice dinner.

delicious crab cakes to start, then a roast pork loin, grilled asparagrass, corn on the cob, and french bread and butter.

delicioso!

 

[Kylie1969]

Sounds like you have had a wonderful afternoon and a yummy dinner Tom

Your wife sounds like a great cook

 

[buckytom]

yes, i've taught her well, kylie.

j/k. thanks.

 

[Kylie1969]

I have no doubt you taught a few things

I have made my Steve into a wonderful cook and of course all he is learning from Masterchef

 

[Rocklobster]

Chicken Fajitas, Cob on the Corn

 

[pacanis]

You must have been dreaming of food with all that cooking going on, Tom. You probably even saw yourself turing the asparagus on the grill

 

[Kylie1969]

Chicken Fajitas, Cob on the Corn

That sounds lovely RL...I love corn on the cob too

 

[Cerise]

Moo Goo Gai Pan
White rice
Shrimp egg rolls
Moose Tracks ice cream

 

[chopper]

I think I will fix up some soft shell tacos tonight. I have some lettuce and a tomato to use up. Can't think of a better way to use them since others in the house don't eat salad!

 

[taxlady]

I stir fried some onions and ground beef and then I added defrosted, frozen "stir fry mix" vegis, grated creamed coconut, and sesame seeds. Not spectacular, but not bad for a quick supper. Had white wine with it.

 

[Zhizara]

I used a chicken thigh to make chicken broth for split peas with ham, then used the chicken thigh to make a sandwich with Swiss cheese and bacon on rye.

Split peas with ham, in this weather???

 

[Katie H]

Glenn received a couple of quite nice gift cards to Outback Steakhouse for his birthday. He decided we should go out and enjoy a nice dinner before I get my hand in a cast, so....

Great meal and we came home stuffed with a "take home" box to boot.
