What are you eating Wednesday 12/6/2017?

[msmofet]

My plan is making yesterdays postponed dinner - stovetop grilled marinated flank steak (EVOO, soy sauce, fresh garlic, smoked salt and spices), potatoes and tomato and onion salad.

 

[Andy M.]

We'll be having leftover chili mac.

I use a similar marinade for steak tips, but add a bit of balsamic vinegar (about 1/3 as much soy sauce). It gives it a nice flavor.

Tonight is shrimp and corn gumbo, rosemary and olive oil dutch oven bread, garden salad.

I'll try that. Thanks. How long do you marinate for? Last time I only did about 20-25 minutes and it was so good!

Taco Wednesday here in the middle of the desert



[file photo]

Ground Beef spiced with my homemade Taco Seasoning (heh! you've got all of those spices in your pantry, why not make up your own?!)
I'll make the meat a bit saucy with some flour toasted in the pan with the meat once it's browned off and some Dark Beer (oops, I guess I'll need to drink the rest of that bottle than, eh? )
And then I just chop up a bunch of stuff for toppings and then it's build your own Taco Bar.
I use heated Flour Tortillas rather than Corn. We have a local Tortilla facotry just up the road a piece

I make our taco seasoning too. Everyone thinks it's great. I tried Penzeys taco seasoning and none of us liked it.

Y'know Andy, for years, I bought Mass Market Spice blends and only that.
Then I started to cook more and bought all of these herbs and spices and a light bulb went off over my head!

Leftover turkey and sausage gumbo here tonight.

Recently I ordered one of the very best sandwiches I've ever eaten and good ole Chef John told me how to make it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZg_wHmhozE
As luck would have it, we have a brand new little Vietnamese restaurant in this mostly Mexican food town, and we're going there tonight to order Banh Mi sandwiches and any other tempting delights.

 

[Just Cooking]

No cooking tonight...

I'm driving shuttle for a golf tournament in Pebble Beach and they keep a grazing table for us in the club house so, we grazed between runs..

Doing this through Saturday so, I won't be cooking..

Good stuff...

 

[roadfix]

It's just for myself tonight so I'm thinking about breakfast for dinner. Simple ham and eggs, and rye toast with real butter.

I usually do flavor marinades for 20 minutes or so (about as long as it takes to heat the grill).

 

[Rocklobster]

Spaghettini with olive oil and garlic..salad of whatever I had in the crisper, which wasn't much..added some olives, pickled eggplant, to make it a little more exciting..

 

[msmofet]

Broiled marinated flank steak and tomato and onion salad.

MsM & 10speed, lately I've been using half soy sauce and half balsamic vinegar in my marinades, including Asian. I like it a lot.
That looks wonderful MsM.

I should start doing the same. I really need to cut down on my sodium intake to keep my BP in check.

Thank you Kay it was wonderful. I did add a small amount of balsamic to the marinade. Even DD that doesn't really like beef had seconds.

 

[Cheryl J]

Pan seared scallops drizzled with garlic lemon butter. A slice of cherry pie from my sweet neighbor will be dessert.

I needed a pork shoulder (butt) to get enough pork/fat for the venison sausage I'm making. After cutting off 4 lbs from an 8 lb bone in shoulder, to grind. I put the rest of the pork in water in a foil covered pan in the oven at 290 degrees F for 4 hours. Then poured off the water, turned the heat up to 400 degrees F and topped it off with some homemade bbq sauce. A half hour later, it was caramelized, and delicious.

I had made 4-5 pints of bbq sauce just a few weeks ago, and now it is gone and I need to make another batch. Wow, that is good stuff.
