Re: Dinner Tonight
I just thought up a restaurant concept for the Trump brand. It's really expensive, and they take you and your family or clients back into the kitchen and start barking orders at you as you try to keep up with the peeling, chopping, searing, seasoning, and plating of a sequence of items. It's a complete disaster until the chef says, "Ha ha! Just kidding!" and then presents you with a gorgeously prepared feast, and hands off the mess you made to some group of homeless people huddled around the back door as you sit down to dine luxuriously.

We're making the same thing we always make on New years Eve. I don't know what you call it though. It has beef kielbasa sausage, egg white noodles, cabbage, and onions all cooked in a big pot. Good stuff.

Re: Dinner Tonight
That sounds like a recipe I'd like.
I love my wife but sometimes I really wish she wasnt vegetarian, or that I cared more about such things in my 20s.
Making that dish would be table for one in my household. (Fortunately my daughter loves hamburgers and salmon, so there is hope for me having a culinary partner in crime in a few years as her palette rounds out.)

Re: Dinner Tonight
In the 90s, Oprah Winfrey's personal chef went on her show to promote his cookbook, telling Americans to hide their vegetables inside au gratin potatoes so you could eat your green beans without noticing them. My mom obliged. Stupidest thing I've ever heard.Chicat wrote:Bacon wrapped pork loin, au gratin potatoes, green beans, salad.

Sautéed with garlic. They were delicious, but unfortunately cooking them perfectly didn't change the fact that they're a green vegetable other than peas.ASUHATER! wrote:How'd you make the green beans?

I like to boil them just for a minute and then put them in ice water, then Sautee with half butter half olive oil with shallots, salt and pepper.Chicat wrote:Sautéed with garlic.

I slow-roasted a 9 pound pork shoulder roast on Saturday. It set me back $25 including tax. It's been the gift that keeps on giving.

Sunday: Pork roast sandwiches with Montamore cheese and claytonia
Monday: Pork crackling bucatini all'amatriciana, claytonia salad with olive oil and balsamic
Tomorrow: Philadelphia roasted pork, provolone, and broccoli raab sandwiches
Day after tomorrow: The rest of the pork crackling amatriciana

My boys were like that for a while. I used to cave and make what they wanted. Not anymore. If they don't eat what we make they don't eat unless they fix it themselves.Chicat wrote:I made parmesan panko crusted salmon and zucchini noodles (zoodles).

Re: Dinner Tonight
Salmon was the dinner rejected by my sister's 7 year-old kids that ended the showdown.
"Fine, you're getting candy from now on!"
Breakfast: Two handfuls of miniature candy bars unceremoniously tossed on the table. The kids were thrilled.
Lunch: Off to school with just candy bars in their lunchboxes.
Dinner: Still more candy bars thrown onto the table.
"You don't love us anymore!" they yelled, breaking out into an uncontrolled bawl.
The next night they even ate their vegetables.

Sandwich dinner:
Roasted pork, provolone, and broccoli raab on ciabatta
Reminded me how much I love a roasted meat sandwich.

Re: Dinner Tonight
I roasted the pork using Kenji Lopez-Alt's slow method: 8 hours at 250 degrees. It's incredibly moist, succulent, and filled with roasted flavor. Then I rendered some pork lard, sliced the pork roast and reheated it in the pan with the pork lard. I steamed the broccoli raab bright green, shocked it, rung it out, chopped it fine and cooked it in a pan with the pork lard and chopped garlic. I put the pork on the lower crust and melted the provolone over it under the broiler, then came the broccoli raab. So yeah, it's all moist, and with the gooey melted cheese, pure comfort. You could really ruin the whole thing with a squirt of sriracha or a mayo-based sauce. Possibly a couple drops of colatura d'alici would bring out all the flavors on the umami magic carpet, but it wasn't needed.wyo-cat wrote:They serve a solid Dinic's roast pork knockoff at Frankie's on Campbell.

Made zucchini "tots" with shredded veggies, parmesan cheese, egg, panko and spices. Also made a lime/cumin/curry/cilantro aioli to go on homemade brioche buns with trader Joe's vegetable masala burgers. Topped those with some cucumber and fried onions as well. Brilliant dinner.
