Saturday night delights for dinner 4/29
being our last night here in Vegas, I don't know but think it'll be a roast beef of some sort in the crock. that way, if I can get out of meeting up with someone today and actually join my family on our boat, dinner will be ready by the time we arrive here tonight.
so what are you making/eating/having?

Brats, I think. HH had to get up early this morning and go watch a concrete pour at his jobsite, so his time of arriving home is uncertain. Brats can be done within a much more flexible cooking time than the cross rib roast I first took out to thaw.
Went and checked our Beef forum on a good way to do the roast, and after reading about Michelmarie's experience and Goodweed and ironchef's advice, I am going to wait and do that puppy for tomorrow's dinner instead.

Dinner is scratched. We went out for a late lunch of halibut & chips. It's our fave place to go for it. They bread the halibut in panko and the fries are potatoes that are cut into wedges with the skin on. I'm going to a show tonight! All alone...

we had guests including a French lady who cooks well, so I planned a real bistro meal
we began with 3 cheeses, a french soft, a spanish hard and an amercian blue with water crackers and sliced baguette rubbed with garlic. we also had olives (greek and french) and mussles steamed in wine and shallots w/ bacon, and wonderful spring radishes with butter and sea salt.
the salad was a mix of frisee chicory radichio and endive with a hot mustard bacon vinaigrette
the main was a grilled smoked whole chicken (cajun rub, garlic infused, mesquite smoked) juicey and tender with roasted asparagus with herbs de provence, and potato salad with a sour cream mayo fresh herb dressing
white wine with the cheese and fish, pinot noir red with the chicken. desert was berries and cream french roast coffee.
guests raved and had seconds etc.
I am happy cause it all worked and everyone was happy and satisfied. that is what it is all about.

Thanks luvs! It was a good show but it was a mistake going.

Last night was Chinese takeout night here.
I started with Hot & Sour Soup, which our little shopping center takeout place makes VERY hot & VERY sour - just the way I like it. I followed that with another searingly spicy favorite dish - "Singapore Chow Fun" - which, instead of the usual flat chow fun noodles, is technically Angel Hair pasta combined with bits of vegetables, chicken, roast pork, & shrimp flavored with blazing-hot tumeric curry.
Husband had wanted "Bean Curd Szechuan-Style", but they were "out of bean curd"??!!??? First time I've ever had a Chinese restaurant say that!! So, he just had a Chinese mixed vegetable dish.

It's a small thin pasta..I like to mix it with rice, brown the two and then add sauteed onion and garlic and chicken broth, cover and cook..Great with grilled meat or enchiladas...

The local VFD was having a taco feed as a fundraiser, so I met family and friends for dinner and supported our local volunteer firefighters.
