Friday nights are always special, dh is a away during the week. But I rarely know when he will be home, it could be seven pm or it could be after midnight. I have an elderly parent living with us too, so often end up making something dh can have later.
I'm boiling a ham in cola and serving it with small baked potatoes (have to be small in any case, no 'meal' sized ones available because of the poor weather), corn fritters, and slightly bizarrely, asparagus as that's what we have that's green.
It turned out really good (or maybe it's just good after two Margaritas ). I made lots of gravy. I'll probably have some on toast tomorrow for breakfast. This time I put very thin slices of garlic between the slices on the Hasselback potatoes. I wanted to be sure they were open. The herb butter had onion powder and marjoram. That turned out really yummy. I baked them at 350F for about an hour and they had yummy, crispy bits.I'm making http://www.discusscooking.com/forums/f49/tnt-pork-with-mushroom-herb-sauce-68116.html#post934920 with Hasselback potatoes and a green salad, probably with some of the blue cheese dressing I made last Saturday. Almond cake (didn't leave out the butter this time) for dessert.
Just don't eat the edge that doesn't have any stuff on it.Everyone's dinner sounds wonderful. We had pizza that I picked up on the way home at Papa Murphy's. it was pretty good. I actually ate a little piece. I do have a carb or two now and then.
today is dw's birthday, so after i've bugged the crap out of her as to where she wants to go for dinner, she says korean bbq. of all of the stinkin' joints in and around nyc, she wants to have obsessive korean women sling plates of banchan on our table, and frown on her for allowing me to use the tongs to flip the meat on the center table charcoal grill (which i glare at them and grunt "unn, unn", a way of telling a lesser person no), but then have to smile and ask for more banchan, especially bean paste, scallions, and lettuce leaves for rolling the grilled meats.
it's a stressful but delicious multi-cultural experience all in one.
whatever the light of my life, my moon and stars wants, she will get.
If my energy level stays up, we'll have pizza for dinner. Otherwise, stuff from the freezer.
I'm guessing you had the vanilla bean ice cream as dessert, not as a topper for the flat bread with the mushrooms and cheese.I pooped out so no pizza. We had shrimp cocktail and a TJs flat bread (mushrooms, Gruyere and Parmesan). I topped that off with a dish of vanilla bean ice cream.
