Sunday March 23, 2025 Dinner Thread

[Steve Kroll]

I had a couple of Dungeness crabs in the freezer and wasn't quite sure what to do with them. So I picked out the meat and used the shells to make stock. I used the crab meat and some of the stock to make a batch of Moqueca, which is a Brazilian seafood stew. I also supplemented it with some shrimp. I froze the remaining stock and will probably use it to make chowder somewhere down the road.

What did everyone else have?

Tamales, beans, and rice.

[caseydog]

I grilled a couple of chicken thighs, seasoned with SPG, served on cheap Kroger hamburger buns with some Duke's mayo and some dill pickle slices. Simple, but very satisfying.

I'm not a Duke fan, but don't like Baylor -- I've met too many arrogant alumni. So, I hope Duke wins.

My alma mater, UNT faces Oklahoma State in the NIT quarterfinals in a couple of days.

UNT is considered a "small school," with only 47,000 students.

I made a big salad we've been snacking on. Threw on some raw corn for crunch, pepitas, homemade buffalo sour cream ranch riff. Got a mandoline and having a blast slicing everything from my own fingers (just kidding I have cut gloves) to cucumber and celery.

Next I can use the rest of my sour cream to make that wonderful fondue @dragonlaw got me!!!!

Wasn't really hungry, had the last piece of a Bavarian Sourdough Rye bread with a comforting layer of butter.

 

[dragnlaw]

greek lemon spinach soup

One day I'm going to make this soup. I see so many of you have it. If someone has a good recipe could you post your versions? I will start a thread for it in soups.

You got your wish! Duke goes to the Sweet 16 Thursday. Hope your school does just as good in the NIT.

We grazed all day. Whatever was in the fridge was fair game!
