What have you got on the go for dinner Saturday May 9 2015?

[CWS4322]

The lads and I are playing in the kitchen today. For late lunch/early dinner I have a tossed salad of baby spring greens, black chickpeas, tomatoes, red and yello peppers, green onions (scallions), toasted walnuts, hard boiled eggs, orange segments, and blueberries. The vinaigrette is a blueberry white balsamic with EVOO, S&P. The lads are vegetarians. It is a very big salad. Thinking I should make some pita bread for them as well.

 

[Andy M.]

We're planning to go watch our grandson play baseball this evening. Dinner will be eating out somewhere.

 

[Rocklobster]

I got some colossal shrimp from work to boil and chill for shrimp cocktail for starters. Right now I am about to kneed pizza dough for tonight's dinner.

Planning Linguine and White Clam Sauce

 

[Chef Munky]

Parmesan chicken topped with marinara sauce over fresh made pasta. Salad,garlic bread. Freshly made crab cakes to start it all off.

Good thing I reread this one. Almost said "crap cakes"
They just might be that if I don't pay attention.

An unusual combo (ready bought and quick cos I am digitalising my songs): Runny scotch eggs (superior baked scotch eggs with runny yolks), a puree of carrots mixed with swede (baked alongside), eaten with lamb's lettuce (and a bit of organic ketchup!)

 

[Kayelle]

I have my dry yellow hominy par boiling right now. I'm so glad we finally found it! It will be included in the Pozole I'll be completing later in the day. Ole'

Probably fettuccine Alfredo with salad leftover from yesterday. I'll also thin the blue cheese dressing from yesterday. It was a little heavy on the blue cheese.

 

[Cooking Goddess]

Munky, if you're making "crap cakes", please leave me off the invited list, OK?

Brats, if Himself can stand up. He's supposed to wash the sun room roof and put the screens in. I'll simmer them part-way in beer before he finishes them on the grill. IF he's too pooped, I'll let them finish cooking on the stove. We'll have pickled beets, sauerkraut, and crashed potatoes on the side...along with a fine selection of mustards!

 

[GotGarlic]

We're going to grill a couple of pork chops and some potatoes. Not sure how I'll season them yet. DH will have the cole slaw I made the other day and I'll have a salad. I'm also going to grill some chicken legs and red bell peppers for later.

 

[taxlady]

We had planned to grill, but there are thundershowers in the forecast. Phooey.

 

[Cheryl J]

It's early, but fixin' to grill a nice pork shoulder steak that has been marinating in a soy/garlic/pineapple juice blend. I'll have that with Andy's rice pilaf, and steamed green beans with toasted pine nuts.

 

[Selkie]

Tuna salad on sliced and toasted baguette. Simple but tasty!

 

[jabbur]

After tearing apart the kitchen sink to replace the leaky garbage disposal, the kitchen is in kind of a mess. I have the dishwasher going so we can check for leaks at all the plumbing joints. My ankle is acting up and I really didn't want to stand around the messy kitchen trying to cook. Solution? Domino's.

The pork steak was tender and juicy as could be, really lucked out with that one. And I'm definitely adding Andy's rice pilaf in to the meal rotation - it was light, fluffy, and delicious!

 

[Dawgluver]

Yummy, Cheryl!

We finished the rest of last night's Thai takeout. I doctored it up a bit, as it was blander than usual last night.

Well, that hominy par boil was a disaster in my good enameled cast iron pot! I haven't burned anything so badly in years. I was concerned the pot was ruined, but I boiled water and about a 1/4 cup of Dawn in it and was able to get it sparkle white again.

Glad I started this early in the day, had more hominy and was able to start over. It sure tastes good, and the pork is almost tender..

That looks really delicious Cheryl! When you mentioned pork steaks earlier I got to thinking about Pac's recipe for St. Louis pork steaks. I have to do them again sometime soon. Dang, I really miss Pac!! Check it out..
