Dinner Sunday Oct. 8, 2017 ~ National Pierogi Day

[Cooking Goddess]

I considered making pierogi from scratch...for a minute. First, I need to find Farmers Cheese.

We'll be having chicken piccata over 'ghetti, sautéed red grapes with almonds, and salad.

What are you serving up today?

 

[Andy M.]

Sunday Ragu.

 

[CraigC]

Gyros with homemade shwarma (lamb), tzatziki on flat bread instead of pita. I'm about ready to put the shwarma on the spit and cook it over charcoal on the Weber.

 

[Kaneohegirlinaz]

I'll take a half order of Piccata, Ragu as well as just a small Gyro please, thank you very much

I'm NOT cooking tonight, YAY!!!

DH is taking us out for Sunday Supper at one of favorite Italian joints.
Mr&Mrs Owner are originally from Italian (I can't remember where off hand),
but they serve handmade pastas, which we adore!
And with all of this talk of Piccata, I don't know if I'll order Chicken or Veal... Probably Veal, `cuz I can't find it in the markets up here in cowboy-ville.

I was told by all of the grocers up here that folks just don't buy it, although I did find place that carries frozen chubs of ground Veal ... meatballs, yay!

Oops, sorry went off track there for a minute... we're going out to eat tonight!

Veal Piccata for me ... oh my gosh so tender and delicious! I was in heaven!



Chicken Parm for DH, why I don't know, I just made this for him for his birthday. I suggested that he order something that he won't get at home (that's what I do), nope! Stick with what you know ... ok then

We shared a small Caesar salad and a basket of house Garlic Bread (the Garlic Knots are far better, note to self) and a glass (or two ) of house wine for the girl (I'm not driving ) ... MMM!
We were too stuffed (we brought home about 1/3 of each of ours entrees) but wanted dessert, Limoncello Cake, take-out please
This is one happy gal, that me tell you!

 

[caseydog]

I tossed some pecan smoked sausage on the grill, finished with some doctored SBR's BBQ sauce. Served on a roll. I had some doctored grocery store deli potato salad on the side.

So basically, I did more heating than cooking tonight.

[Cooking Goddess]

CD, some days that's better than fussing in the kitchen for hours. Ya gotta pick your battles, right?

s&p, I love your idea of dinner!

***************************

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Tonight in our house, it was the eggs. We had HB eggs on our salads, then moved on to the chicken piccata - FINALLY! - with a side of sauteed grapes with almonds. Himself is finally getting used to the whole wheat pasta. His doctor will thank me.

 

[caseydog]

Nobody had Pierogies?

CD

 

[cjmmytunes]

Guess not, CD.

We had roast bee w/gravy, carrots, potatoes, onions & sweet peas. Rice on the side (or mixed in the gravy if you prefer). Marble loaf cake for dessert.

 

[GotGarlic]

No pierogies here, either. I made posole verde with cheese quesadillas. Good stuff.
