Dinner Plans for Tuesday the 27th of September

[Andy M.]

Our dinner tonight will be garlicky shrimp with parsley and anise along with a tossed salad. This is a dirty finger meal where you peel and eat the shrimp that has been cooked in the shell.

 

[bethzaring]

Some type of leftover, probably sour cream chicken enchiladas and some of the ever present tomato, cucumber, mozz cheese, basil, and oil and vinegar salad.

I made a green chile sauce today and it is way too hot. I may try to dilute it with something to go over the enchiladas.

 

[Justice O.]

A nice sausage gravy over biscuits. Some scrambled eggs as well.

 

[msmofet]

Ummm did we jump into the future? It's Tuesday here. LOL
Not sure what's for dinner.

 

[Dawgluver]

Nice catch, MsM. Fixed.

I'll have to peruse the fridge. DH gets 3 days of business dinners and lunches, so I'm on my own.

I cut some rib eyes on Sunday to bring to my daughter for her birthday. Turns out she had a change in plans and I ended up not going. The steaks have been in the fridge for two days and I won't be seeing her for a few more so too bad for her. I'm eating them....you snooze, you looze....

 

[Katie H]

Leftovers of a variety of flavors here, along with a few of the last garden tomatoes and a lone cucumber. The highlight of the meal will be dessert...a bowl of Breyer's creamsicle ice cream. Glenn's son told us about the ice cream over the weekend and I succumbed to its charms while grocery shopping today. Especially since it was on SALE. That's enough justification, isn't it?

sitting in a hotel in Independence MO. The hotel had hamburgers with salad and watermelon. No home cooking until Friday

Supermarket had fresh sword for $7.99 / lb., so it didn't take too much thought to make a decision for dinner. Soy and garlic marinade, then grilled. I had some fresh penne in the fridge, so it was tossed with steamed asparagus and ricotta.

Thanks for catching that. Must have been in a fog.

We got Chinese takeout Saturday, so I repurposed the leftovers for tonight's dinner. I made a veggie stir-fry with fresh onions, celery and bell peppers with brown sauce and mixed in the orange chicken and boneless ribs. I served it over reheated pork fried rice to which I added soy sauce, ginger-flavored sherry and sesame oil. Not bad

Andy, this sounds so good and is one of my favorite ways to have shrimp - roasted or grilled in the shell, and peel and eat at the table. I'm more than willing to have a damp tea towel in a bowl at the table to clean my fingers in order to have that extra flavor and tenderness from cooking those lovelies shell-on. My family doesn't agree. I'd probably skip the anise because I'm not a fan, but that's just me.

I save the shells and throw them in a ziplock in the freezer, hoping to make a killer broth sometime for a seafood soup or stew.

Cheryl, I'm not a fan of anise either but it's not objectionable in this recipe. I am mostly opposed to presenting food to guests that they have to work to eat. So I typically don't leave shrimp tails or shells on for presentation. This is a different type of dish that's intended as finger food.

I save all my plain shrimp shells too. But not these as they are too highly seasoned.

 

[Cheryl J]

Oh yes, for guests I wouldn't serve shell-on, either.

 

[Cheryl J]

A scoop of chicken salad on romaine, with a couple of farm stand plums on the side.

 

[salt and pepper]

Reverse seared NY steak w/ swiss, artichoke w/ garlic aoli and garlic mashed potapoes.

OMGosh Joey....that looks sooo good!

Beth, have you & DH met up with K and SC yet?
Just dying to know...

 

[Cooking Goddess]

Himself said he had a taste for a grilled cheese sandwich. I guess I've been making too many fancy-pants dinners lately! We those (mine with tomato) plus salads and some of the leftover ham-and-bean soup.

 

[GA Home Cook]

Joey - Wow that looks great. I have a question. How did you cook the steak? I saw an article a few weeks past that used the oven at 210 F for something like 90 minutes and then seared over a charcoal chimney. Very interested on your experience.
