Happy birthday, CWS's dad! Mmmm walleye.

We just came back from a neighbor's fish fry, he caught all sorts of LOW (Lake of the Woods) fish. We had perch, crappies, all sorts of sides. He was saving the walleye for last, icing on the cake, but I had to feed Beagle, so we left before the walleye. I will probably be back.

Edit: I pottied and fed Beagle, and went back up the road just in time for walleye!

Today is NOT a low carb day. Dinner will be chicken and prosciutto ravioli and salad.

We are going meatless today totally by accident. Had an eggplant that needed attention, so I made Emeril Lagasse recipe that appealed to me. Supposed to be served as a side dish but I think it's good enough to be the star of the meal. I just sampled the finished product and it's really, really good. I chopped the last tomato from our garden and it will join some nice red-leaf lettuce I had on hand for a salad. Have a few other add-ins for the salad if we feel like it.

I think I'm going to skip dinner tonight. Not that hungry this evening. I'll probably just have some beer and chips with salsa while watching the debate.

Some old friends from inland that we haven't seen for a few years came over this afternoon. Had to do a New England seafood dinner. Started off with steamers, then lobster, baked beans, and cole slaw. Apple crisp and frozen yogurt finished it off.

We had leftover OctoberFest Casserole from last weekend, along with ciabatta rolls, buttered and sprinkled with Penzeys Fox Point. I also had a dab of homemade Dijon mustard to schmear on forkfuls of casserole

We had chicken breast kabobs with zucchini slices and onion leaves all marinated in Goya and grilled, along with glorified salads.

Watching the Debate while eating gave me indigestion.

I made Linda's pot o' pig and boiled some taters. Stirling made rødkål (Danish red cabbage). It was really, really good.

 

[Smokeydoke]

We had a great lunch; one of Suzanne Goin's 50-step salads, this one was corn, avocado, squash with watercress. Then we had Linguine with Clam Sauce, Anne Burell's recipe. It was delicious!

There was no way we could top lunch, so for dinner we had In N Out. LOL.

Overall, a good foodie day!

Nearly a year after asking Dawg for her recipe, I got around to making a pot of Broccoli Beer Cheese Soup. It was good, but very different from what I usually make when using cauliflower or broccoli. I think I didn't use enough broccoli? It seemed...thin. Maybe it's because most of my similar soups also use a thickener. Or maybe it was the beer...for some reason I kept burping the rest of the evening. Then again, maybe it wasn't the soup at all...we were eating it during the debate.

Thanks for posting the recipe anyway, Dawg! I'll try it again, but probably reduce the liquids so I don't have to increase the broccoli. And add more cheese...just because.

We each made our own pots of chili with spaghetti for Craig, rice for me.

Ours was fresh made minestrone with ciabatta and grated Parmesan, Veal casserole with peas and potatoes - an old favourite of my OH's, and a huge favourite all over Italy, and then ice cream made by the chef at the village pizzeria. Decidedly good it was, too: Blackberry, water melon, pistachio, vanilla and chocolate, all to die for. I can't make ice cream, but who cares, when the village pizzeria makes such delicious stuff. Their pastries are very good too. Your creations look good. Puts me in the mood to have a go at some of those recipes, as I'm forever doing Italian, So bring the recipes on!
