What? No Dinner Thread? 11/17/13

[Dawgluver]

DH brought home an exhorbitantly expensive broccoli crown, so soup it is. I also spelunked some T'gving in August turkey broth (thought it was July) which is more precious than gold, after looking through the grocery stores.

What are you having?

 

[KatyCooks]

Broccoli soup is always very tasty!

I made a Steak and Kidney casserole (stew). (More of the same tomorrow).

 

[mmyap]

I made a roast leg of lamb last night. I have enough left over to make a nice hash with some potato's and mushrooms. A pot of butternut squash soup.

 

[bakechef]

I made chicken and dumpin's Cracker Barrel style with roasted carrots.

Sweet potato pie for dessert.

 

[Andy M.]

Making a marinated pork tenderloin and a veggie.

 

[PrincessFiona60]

Eating ripe D'anjou pears with Tillamook Vintage Smoked White Cheddar. Coffee for dessert.

I'm making pan-seared pork chops with German potato salad and roasted onion, red bell pepper and green beans with rosemary. Yummy!

No, there is no dinner thread. We are staging a protest against enjoying food which might contain trans fats.

DA and I enjoy breakfast for dinner sometimes, so we had scrambled eggs, pancakes and bacon with a pear and apple cup.

With love,

We celebrated Stirling's birthday with friends at The Old Dublin Pub & Restaurant. I had a rib steak with fries. It was yummy and cooked just right. Had a couple of draught Carlsberg.

slow cooked boned/rolled welsh lamb shoulder with cyprus potatoes,sweet red onions & ramiro red peppers.montepulciano d'abruzzo smoother than a baby's bum.oh yeah,woulda posted this last night but dozed off watching "the real housewives of beverly hills"ahh well,!!

it was mate!no need for a knife either,lamb was so tender i cut it with a fork!

 

[pacanis]

Harry, is preparing the lamb something you do yourself (boning and rolling)?
I'm not much of a lamb eater, but I don't recall seeing anything like that in the butcher's counter either. Maybe they'll do it if asked.

It was one of those days that no one was home together so dinner was a pot of turkey soup and a loaf of french bread that you could grab when you had a moment. I also put together a big fruit plate for us to grab and go. We had red grapes, pomegranate (.89 each!!), orange slices and some lovely blackberries.

yes i do pac.shoulder is one of the easier joints to bone imo as you are really only dealing with one major bone...the blade,which usually has the shoulder shank attached.i cut those off & freeze them.they're fab in tagines,curries & stews etc.on this occasion it was already boned,rolled & neatly packaged in the pre pack meat aisle.
can't believe that you & i were brought up on andy capp & have just had a straight faced conversation about boning & rolling!.good job it wasn't boned,rolled AND stuffed eh matey??......pause for benny hill speeded up chase music??!!!

 

[DaveSoMD]

Dinner was French's French Fried Onion Chicken, cornbread stuffing, and steamed asparagus.
