Well? What did you have for dinner tonight??

We had the perennial salad - romaine and 'shrooms with some lemony dressing - followed by 'Roast Beef Redux'. That's the leftover eye roast, sliced thin and plunged into the gravy to heat up, then arranged on bread/toast for a hot sandwich. And, because the husband asked for it, French cut green beans with a sprinkling of Craisins to give them some contrast..... Pineapple and banana chunks for dessert: pecans on his, coconut on mine.

And tea. There's always tea...... : ))
 
I need to arrange a couple of days to go out to my mom's house and teach her to make tamales . . . and, of course, produce a buttload of tamales for the freezer in the process. :)

But it won't be this weekend, because Sunday is the Superbowl, and I will have to work that afternoon.
 
I need to think of new things to cook, I am basically making the same stuff over and over lately.
 
I can't afford flipping pine nuts.
Or capers. It sucks.

But we'll be just fine with our mercury bombs in a bag.

The small amounts of mercury in seafood are not much of a problem for the developed brain.
 
Tonight it's Seared diver scallops with a roasted fennel garlic cream served with a fennel mint orange and arugula salad

Tuna sashimi with wasabi and sriacha cream sauces and a Caesar salad with grilled shrimp
 
We had salmon dry rubbed and pan seared in a teaspoon of olive oil, rice pilaf and broccoli
 
Yesterday was my bday. I got asked what I wanted for dinner. I said" I want to make a lobster boil". So shrimp, 2 lobster tails, sausage, red potatoes and cheesecake. I am not shitting, the lobster tails were the size of subway footlongs. Between the 2, the package weighed 2.8 pounds. I had to cut the meat with a fork.
Just imagine how big the whole lobster was !?!

You always have the best dinners.
 
I had pot roast with carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, onions and celery last night, cooked in the crock pot the whole night prior with some wine.

Pizza and wings last night. I just couldn't not.
Oh and booze.... oofah.

Pizza and wings for me as well, but wifey made one HELL of a pizza. Arugula, fresh mozzarella, chopped garlic, roma tomatoes, olive oil, and Italian sausage from the butcher. I made the dough since I'm better with the bread machine.
 
Bangers and mash. My husband loves them at the English-style pub, so he asked if I'd try to make them at home.

How do you make them at home?

Well, mashed potatoes are easy. I peel and chop the potatoes (so they cook faster), boil them, then add evaporated milk, butter, and pepper and run the hand mixer through them.

I used spicy Italian chicken sausages, because they were on sale and looked good. Brown the outside in a skillet, then put them in a baking dish, put gravy (in this case, chicken gravy because the sausages were chicken) over them, and bake until they're cooked through. Then serve on top of the mashed potatoes.
