What's for dinnah, DU?

[bicentennial_baby]

We're having Rigatoni with the 3-meat sauce that's been on the stove all day, homemade garlic bread, and salad.

You?

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

1. Dinnah? I haven't even had lunch yet!

:)

[bicentennial_baby]

2. D'oh!

:o

I had a little lunch, in anticipation of big dinner...a half a sandwich, pepper ham and provolone with horseradish mustard and mayo. :)

[SoxFan]

3. Fundraiser munchies

Going to a fundraiser for Jerome Duval, a local alderman and one of the good guys in ManchVegas politics. I'll nosh on whatever sticks and twigs are available!

[bicentennial_baby]

:hi:

[SoxFan]

74. Here's what they had

Stuffed mushroom caps (tasty but a bit overcooked)
Zuchinni, broccoli and cauliflower with ranch dressing
Sliced swiss cheese

[Kali]

4. some kind of slow roasted pork shoulder

I really wanted to do it green chili style for burritos, but alas I have only one small green chili and no tomatillos. So we may go with a red chili or even oven style "bbq".

Leaning to the bbq, because I have a head of cabbage for slaw. Although that could be used for carnitas too. Decisions decisions...:shrug:

[bicentennial_baby]

8. Mmmmm, sounds delicious, regardless!

Eat well!

[AlCzervik]

6. i have some brownies in the oven right now---really, really ridiculous ones

i'm thinking a very light dinner and then a huge brownie. I still haven't had lunch yet. the brownies have 2 big caramelo bars in them, half the brownie mix, then the candy bars and then the other half of the brownie mix, on the top i took the other caramelo bar and broke it into pieces and put it on top.

[bicentennial_baby]

10. OMG....

I bow to you... :o

[AlCzervik]

13. i'll let you know how they come out, i'm hoping they'll be fabulous.

16. What are the 3 meats?

My grandfather's sauce was typically pork, beef meatballs, and sweet italian sausage (the kind with fennel seeds in it) but my aunt makes an good one with big hunks of pepperoni in it instead of the pork.

Carly

[bicentennial_baby]

47. deer sausage, eh?

i've never eaten deer.

[carly denise pt deux]

48. it's ok, I guess...

my husband has a friend that gets a deer, and we end up dividing up the meat and have it processed. it's like kelbasa, but not fatty and a little darker meat.

[Shakespeare]

2 cans pinto beans
diced tomatoes
a cup of merlot (it was the cheapest red i had in the house)
chopped onion
4 cloves of garlic

cholula
salt & pepper
cayenne

cooked it for 8 hours. :9

[Scooter24]

53. I'm cooking Herb Pasta with Lemon Zest and Caviar

We have 4 friends coming over for dinner so it should be fun. :hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

54. Yum! What's in the soup?

[Scooter24]

70. Lots of ingrediants

rosemary-infused virgin olive oil
shallots
garlic
spicy Italian sausage
potatoes
seasoned tomatoes
chicken broth
rosemary
basil
black pepper
parsley

It's a bit of a pain to make but it's fabulous.

[VenusRising]

55. Chicken and dumplings.

The stock is going to good use. :)

[trof]

56. Roast beast! At a friend's down the street!

Yea!
We ain't cookin'!

[malta blue]

57. Braised pork - dominican style with

white rice, avocado and tomato salad.

Little MB just loves it when I cook this.

:hi:

Your meat sauce sounds like it is delicious....

Enjoy!

[bicentennial_baby]

58. Are the accompaniments what make it Dominican?

And thank you! It's sooo good! :hi:

[malta blue]

60. it's the seasonings that go in it....onion, garlic

red and green pepper, tons of cilantro, tomato paste...then I toss in red wine and Sazon Goya. You must season the meat in the morning and let it sit all day - make sure you use plenty of oregano and a vinegar shower.

Tomorrow is pasta night - homemade tortellini with pesto. Mr. MB made the tortellini for me on Sunday before he left town.

I think he is kissing up for a good anniversary gift - I already bought him a $200 bottle of wine - what more could he want??? :evilgrin:

[bicentennial_baby]

61. I have an idea...

:evilgrin:

But series, a $200 bottle of wine?! C'mon, he should be ecstatic! :rofl:

Mmmm, homemade tortellini. I haven't done that yet. Yum. :9

[malta blue]

64. He doesn't know about the wine yet...

It's a 1989 Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape - on his list of his favorite all-time wines.

I had to have it shipped from California - could not find it in NYC :shrug:

The tortellini is awesome - he made wheat pasta with gorgonzola and walnut tortellini - add some pesto - OMG...

[bicentennial_baby]

65. Oh that sounds magnificent!!

*drool*

And go YOU on the wine! A stellar wife, you are. :loveya:

[malta blue]

71. Thanks

:pals:

[Inchworm]

62. Zataran's Dirty Rice with fake quarn chicken

[bicentennial_baby]

If I fly I can make it to Boston in under two hours. :9

If that doesn't work I'm having either Kosher hotdogs or linguine and pesto. It's still uncomfortably warm here so comfort food is out for a couple more days.

[huskerlaw]

75. A boring

ham and cheese sandwich. I'm still at work. :(

[AwakeAtLast]

78. I made chicken quesadillas

My husband said they tasted as good as Friendly's. You would have thought I had made them out of gold!

I do have to admit they were quite tasty! :9

[BuddhaGirl]

79. a protein shake ... pretty ho-hum

Your dinner sounds delicious!!!

I was visiting my parents in SoCal last week - one night my Mom made me chicken-fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, and corn on the cob with chile-lime butter...I'm STILL dreaming about it 'cause I never cook that stuff for myself!! :9

[yellowdogintexas]
