Well? What did you have for dinner tonight??

[koshergrl]

My kids hate rice, except (OCCASIONALLY) rice a roni...I wish they didn't, there's so many cool things you can do with it...

I might start cooking it anyway. It's cheap I think, and if the kids won't eat it, the dogs will, and it will be good for them.

Pulled pork is awesome and so many left overs, I want to try a Guiness pulled pork next.

I made Contre filet de Richelieu.

I started with 1 pound beef tenderloin (Filet Mignon), salted and peppered, and seared it in a very hot pan to get a solid crust. This is important to ensure that the juices are retained during cooking. Put the meat in a hot oven at 450° and cook to preference - though 120° would be normal. (Medium rare)

The sauce is typical French cuisine. Start with a hollandaise.
Hollandaise Sauce Recipe - Basic Hollandaise Sauce

Take a 1/4 cup of dry white wine, 1/4 white wine vinegar. 1 TBSP of fresh Rosemary finely chopped, 1 TBSP of fresh tarragon, finely chopped. Reduce the liquid with the herbs in it by half. Whisking briskly, stir the hot mixture into the hollandaise. Saute 1 lb of sliced mushrooms in 1/4 cup of wine and a pat of butter. Drain the mushrooms and gently fold them into the sauce.

Slice the tenderloin thin, ladle the sauce over the meat and fresh steamed vegetables such asparagus, yellow squash, baby red potatoes, etc.

Sauce makes everything better.

A fried bologna sammie on white toast with a few chips. Some vanilla ice cream for dessert. Have a sinus infection, 101.3 temp and after getting some Keflex from the doc, and the ibuprofen finally taking my temp below 100, I finally felt like eating. Couldn't taste a damn thing though. <sigh>

 

[koshergrl]

Probably for the best, zoom.

I like fried bologna as much as the next guy...but ....

 

[koshergrl]

Enchiladas & chili (we didn't have refried beans) were a major hit!!

The kids were good and hungry...we rode bikes & scooters both am & pm...

Chinese last night, shrimp fried rice.

 

[Mr. H.]

The child made some very good oven-baked tacos.

 

[boedicca]

Went to a local restaurant with outdoor seating:

Squash blossom tempura
Roasted beet salad
Rotisserie chicken and brussell sprouts
Chocolate cake with peanut butter ice cream (split with mr. boe)

And a couple glasses of rose.

(and I have leftovers for lunch today!)

Homemade?

I started making fried rice at home because I don't like to eat white rice, and have yet to find a restaurant that uses whole grain (brown) rice.

My boss frowns on me drinking wine at lunch, even if it's leftovers....

lol no take out, I can't get my shrimp fried rice to taste quite like how the Chinese do it.

You need a big seasoned wok and very high heat, which most home ranges can't generate.

Also, throw shrimp tails in the rice while it's cooking - much of the flavor comes from the shells. Use rice wine vinegar as well as soy sauce when frying the rice and very little oil. I use sesame oil, which add more flavor.
