LennyB Posted December 2, 2024 Posted December 2, 2024 Last night we had Annie's gravy and meatballs over fried Ravioli. Who's Annie, you'll have to check out my WIP 67 Galaxie to find out. Sorry, couldn't avoid the plug😊 1
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 5 Posted January 5 1/2 pound+ medium rare onion-and-pepper-crusted burger with at least a sixth pound of melted blue cheese, thick slabs of ripe sweet tomatoes and pepperoncini rings, on crusty pumpernickel with lotsa mayo, cheap Merlot to wash it down. Mmmm mmmm tasty. And I still have fresh raspberries for dessert.
LennyB Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Presently cooking potato leek soup because for Christmas dinner my wife and I both bought leeks. Have to do something with them so soup it is. 1
StevenGuthmiller Posted January 5 Author Posted January 5 Our Christmas meal this year consisted of Shrimp Cocktail, Garlic Shrimp Scampi, Bacon Wrapped Shrimp with an Asian "Sticky Sauce", Lobster Tails, and Dungeness Crab. Steve 1
StevenGuthmiller Posted January 5 Author Posted January 5 My very first attempt at making Tamales was a success! I've had at least a few tamales in my life, but never any this flavorful! Of course the masa was prepared with lard and stock, and the chicken was poached in stock as well. Then the chicken was shredded and folded with a sauce consisting of tomato sauce, garlic and onion powder, cumin, oregano, wine vinegar, and a little honey. The "serving sauce" is a blended combination of Ancho and Pasilla chilies, onion, garlic, cumin, Mexican oregano, chicken stock, and a little honey. Served with the sauce, a little chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Delicious!! Steve 2
StevenGuthmiller Posted January 5 Author Posted January 5 Finally, our New Years meal. Shrimp Coctail, Coconut Shrimp with Sweet Chili-Soy dipping sauce, Buttered Rice with Golden Raisins, and Steamed, Buttered Vegetables. Steve 1

Ace-Garageguy Posted January 18 Posted January 18 (edited) One of the things I like best about being an adult, being able to cook, and living alone, is that I can eat whatever I please, whenever I please. I usually eat "healthy", but on weekends I sometimes I allow myself...anything. Makes it easier to eat "right" the rest of the time. Tonight's fare was my world-famous jalapeno-chorizo-cheese dip with flour tortillas. That's it. Nothing else but a kinda rough country red wine. Fresh blackberries for dessert in a while, maybe a cuppa strong black coffee. Mmmmmm mmmmmm good. Edited January 18 by Ace-Garageguy stoopid 3
ewetwo Posted January 18 Posted January 18 Home made pasta sauce with sweet sausage on cheese raviolis. Tossed salad with blue cheese dressing. I have to get use to cooking for one now. I like your rationale about eating Bill. But type 2 keeps me from thinking too far out of the circle on a bad day. 1

Falcon Ranchero Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Won’t be having it today, but foreseeing lunch tomorrow, my grandma’s homemade pizza. She insists on making a large pan about the size of half a coffee table, so I have about 3 times within 2 weeks. It’s good stuff 4

Ace-Garageguy Posted January 29 Posted January 29 Late home tonight. Fixin' to have hot old-fashioned oatmeal with fresh raspberries.
JollySipper Posted January 29 Posted January 29 A baked potato with real butter, salt, pepper, and Italian dressing......... It's good! 12 minutes ago, Ace-Garageguy said: Late home tonight. Fixin' to have hot old-fashioned oatmeal with fresh raspberries. Bill, you're using the dry oats, like old school? I can get you a recipe for nobake cookies, made with oats, peanut butter, and real cocoa...... Mom makes them a couple times a year........ 1
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 29 Posted January 29 1 hour ago, JollySipper said: Bill, you're using the dry oats, like old school? Yup. Old-fashioned rolled oats, or steel-cut when I can find them. I prefer the heartier flavor and texture of steel-cut. I stay away from the more processed quick-oats for blood-sugar reasons. 1
bobss396 Posted January 29 Posted January 29 Yesterday I made a pot of red sauce. The usual can of paste, 3 cans of crushed tomatoes, garlic, grated onion. I add a tin of anchovies as well. This batch I made meatballs, used 6 sweet sausages, a few pork ribs cut up, a couple chicken drumsticks with the thighs. Of course oregano, basil and a bay leaf. I breaded (double dredge in flour & bread crumbs) some Purdue chicken breasts that were very thin. Those went into the oven with some sauce and grated mozzarella cheese. I put them on Italian bread, hero style. Today I will be making a no-bake cheese cake using Philip cream cheese. 1

stavanzer Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Chili Cheese Dogs. Cheap Buns, Expensive Wieners, Wolf Brand Chili, Shredded Chedar Cheese, no Onions. Wife and I can't eat raw onions anymore with massive heart burn. Washed down with Bundaberg Sarsaparilla. 2
StevenGuthmiller Posted January 31 Author Posted January 31 Dinner last night at a prominent and very well liked Italian restaurant in Cancun by the name of “La Dolce Vita”. Been a staple as long as I can remember. I’m generally not the type to seek out an Italian restaurant in Mexico, but this is one of the exceptions that I’ll make while here. Started with a complimentary appetizer of toasted baguette with quail’s liver pâté. Spaghetti Puttanesca for the wife, and Linguine with Clams for me. Ended with a complimentary digestif, and chocolate dipped candied orange peel. Steve
