What's for Dinner? Tuesday, November 25th

[Steve Kroll]

I stopped at a nearby butcher shop over lunch today and they had some beautiful lamb merguez sausages, so we'll have those, along with sauteed spinach finished with harissa oil.

 

[Aunt Bea]

A cheeseburger and a pickle!

Right before the power went out for 14 hours, I took the leftover yankee pot roast and made a lovely stew. I started by dicing the leftover bake potatoes, panfried those with diced carrot in 2 T of goose fat, added edamame (could use peas), the pureed 'gravy' to which I added 2 tsp of sour cream, a couple of cubes of beef stock from the freezer, some more red wine, and diced up leftover roast. I served it on top of a slice of homemade bread, topped with some grated fresh horseradish, lemon zest, and thyme leaves, S&P.

We're planning on Cuban sandwiches using the leftover roast pork from Sunday. Time to dust off the Griddler.

Oops, this was what I ate last night. That's what losing power does--it is confusing! Don't know if I'm cooking tonight or not! Might just have a salad with the rest of the pot roast...

YUM!! My local grocery store makes the best in-house sausages and they just started making lamb merguez about a month ago. Had never heard of them before so picked up a pack - and now we're hooked!!

I've got some alfredo sauce in the fridge that needs to be used up, so I plan on thawing a batch of homemade pizza dough and making chicken mushroom alfredo pizza. Haven't decided on one big pizza or mini pizzas.

 

[Kayelle]

We're having sausage and shrimp Jambalaya tonight.

 

[bethzaring]

I pressure cooked a pound of pinto beans and made a batch of tortillas. Dinner will incorporate those two items, but not sure how yet.

 

[Katie H]

We're having Caribbean-style oxtails, steamed rice, green beans, iced tea and pineapple/angel food cake. The house is beginning to smell pretty yummy from the oxtails.

We're having sausage and shrimp Jambalaya tonight.

Thanks for the reminder. I haven't made jambalaya in a couple of years. I'll have to put it on my winter list.

 

[Cheryl J]

I'll be grilling some shrimp and scallops on the Weber in a couple of minutes, and having a spinach salad on the side. The coals are about ready so better tend to it.

We're having sausage and shrimp Jambalaya tonight.

I hadn't made it either in a very long time Andy, but it sure was tasty...

 

[Steve Kroll]

That looks very good, Kayelle!

 

[Kayelle]

Thanks Steve. I don't like Andouille sausage so I used Hillshire Farm smoked sausage.

 

[mmyap]

I picked up some steaks and costco today. After going to both costco and safeway and dealing with the masses I came home to find I had forgotten steak sauce. I almost made myself go back for it because we like steak sauce. Thankfully my last brain cell sparked before I went back to the store and I googled a recipe. And it's better tasting!

 

[Cheryl J]

Kay, your jambalaya looks scrumptious!

Steve, I have never heard of lamb merguez before, so I had to look it up. Sounds like something I would love! I'm wondering if I can find it here. Will have to look.

 

[Cheryl J]

Yummy. I put the coals on one half of the grill and grilled the seafood on the other side so they wouldn't get overcooked. Drizzled them with garlic lemon butter, and made a honey Dijon vinaigrette for the spinach salad.

 

[Dawgluver]

I'm saddened that I don't live closer to Kayelle and Cheryl. Your dishes look fantastic!

Leftovers here. Again.

 

[Cheryl J]

Thanks Dawg, I'd love to share meals with you on a sunny CA patio, for sure!

This is the season when I SO look forward to leftovers....mmmm....turkey....

Oh my gosh!
We had sushi-a-rama here in California.
Found a small local joint, fantastic food.
We sat at the bar rather than a table, much better
attention and service.
Not what I would call an inexpensive meal,
but everything is relative.
Super fresh fish, delicious, very happy and full.
Good night
