What Did You Have for Dinner?

[peteski]

Steve, why you keep torturing us by showing us all all those delicious dishes?  I'm drooling!     I also want to know who washes the dishes.

[Tom Geiger]

Dinner? Ha!

This morning I made myself a very nice roast beef sandwich.. nice red beef and a lot of it. Mayo and roasted red peppers!  On a wrap to avoid bread.  

Lunchtime at work I was trying to finish up a report so about 12:20 I reach for my insulated bag and guess what? No sandwich!  Yea, I managed to leave it on the counter in the kitchen!  

So I drank my Diet Coke and ate my orange!  My wife had put it into the fridge so I came home and ate it for dinner!

[NYLIBUD]

Delicious eating..Yummy.

My wife and I had that for our Thanksgiving dinner. We splurged and opened a third can! ?

[Rodent]

Small Thanksgiving. Boneless turkey breast, stuffing from a box with chopped celery added, roasted sweet potatoes mashed with yukon golds, and an amazing brussels sprouts and butternut squash recipe that I found on the NPR website.

Happy Thanksgiving to my brothers and sisters in styrene! Hope that you are all safe, warm, healthy, and have those you love around you. For those of you who live in the frigid climates, I hope that you painted enough bodies to last you through the winter model building season. Still wearing shorts and a T-shirt here. I would like to do some model work this weekend, but I think that yard work will unfortunately win.

Fresh turkey from a local farm, and some other stuff.  I baked Pumpkin pie, using a family recipe.  Wife and I had my 89 year old mom with us.

No pictures, but I had an individual give me a package of fresh caught Minnesota walleye at work on Friday, so tonight I fried some up, along with some roasted Brussels sprouts and carrots and a mixed green salad with blue cheese, bacon and pear and grape tomatoes from the garden.

If you've never had fresh walleye, you're missing one of the worlds great delicacies!

Home made enchiladas.  Several years ago, my mother got burned out on the traditional holiday meals and started doing other foods such home made lasagna.  The wife and I are continuing this on with our boys.  There is a local caterer that offers a great turkey dinner with all the sides, but between the wife's diet and the boys/myself picky eaters, we won't eat most of this and or we'll have left overs til spring.  My brother in law used to deep fry a turkey but that has gotten expensive to do one bird once a year.

For dinner last evening I had way too much and enjoyed every gluttonous bite of it.  Now I have to figure how to disguise the leftovers.  I have spent a bit of time this morning searching recipes on the "net".

[Tom Geiger]

We had a boneless turkey breast and traditional fixings, just the wife and I.  We took Samuel L Jackson’s advice for the holiday. 

Today for lunch I did the New Jersey thing..  Taylor Pork Roll and cheese.  

[Muncie]

Friday after Thanksgiving lunch -  leftover turkey sandwich.  Sorry, no pic, but it was good!

[StevenGuthmiller]

Tonight it was "Fat Peter Clemenza's" red sauce with spaghetti and a mixed green salad with red onion, blue cheese and bacon with Asian sesame dressing.

 

"Come over here kid, learn something. You never know, you might have to cook for 20 guys someday.

You see, you start with a little bit of oil. Then you fry some garlic. Then you throw in some tomatoes, some tomato paste, you fry it, you make sure it doesn't stick.

You get it to a boil. You shove in all your sausage and your meatballs. Eh?.....add a little bit of wine....and a little bit of sugar....and that's my trick".

 

No sausage tonight, but who needs it when you have homemade meatballs.

Wife and I went out to eat for the first time in a long time . Just had to get out and about as it was a beautiful day here in Arizona . Went to a place in Glendale right by the Stadium . She got a salad and a meatball sandwich . Garlic knots for the table and I got Chicken  Parmigiana . All very good .

My sister-in-law sent us a game box with venison, boar, and a couple of pheasants. We cooked the venison this evening. Forgot to take a picture, but it was deerlicious. 

[StevenGuthmiller]

Yesterday I made some individual Shepherd's Pies with some strip steak that I needed to use up.

Made a gravy with some onion, red wine, beef stock and thyme and added carrots and peas.

Covered it with whipped Yukon Gold potatoes with a loaf of peasant bread for sopping.

 

 

 

 

 

Then I put on my confectioners hat and tried my hand at some walnut fudge for the first time in my life.

Not traditional "candy thermometer" fudge, but its rich and creamy.

Easy to make and turned out great.

 

This weekend I'm going to attempt my mother's famous date cookies that I loved growing up.

Interesting venison-related story...friend-a-mine's wife lives in an area with a lot of deer, which she feeds corn and apples in her back yard. She thinks of them as pets. Illegal poaching of deer has become something of an issue 'round there, and after she called 911 to report obviously poaching activity, the cops showed up and arrested HER for "abusing the 911 system". Apparently witnessing the killing of tame deer doesn't qualify as an emergency.

If I lived closer to you, I'd invite myself over for dinner every week.

She should have called fish and game. I don't know about other states, but California Fish and Game takes those reports very seriously. Sadly, they are also understaffed.
