What's For Dinner #343
The last thread finally reached 100, it took less than 2 months, so it's moving along faster.
So what's for dinner? Here it was homegrown pork chops topped with sauteed sweet peppers from last year's garden, found when I cleaned the freezer. We served the pork with a side of green peas and some red pepper risotto. The plate is Elery's, I skipped the risotto, I just don't really like cheese very much. Yeah, I know, it's sacrilege. (grin)

Marvellous meals again Ann t, and constantly constantly by your amazing example, you are encouraging me to bake bread.
So roast again cooked by DH. I've probably mentioned before....it is really nice when he cooks for us.
10 years agoNeely, one of my favourite meals. The roasted potatoes are perfect.
We celebrated a milestone birthday for Moe on Saturday.
It was a work day for me so I started the dessert before I left for work.
Chicken Breasts Perigord. Boned chicken breasts with the skin left on. Mushroom duxelles stuffed under the skin.
Brown sugar meringues broke up and folded into whipped cream, topped with sweet local strawberries. Family tradition to always have something with strawberries for Moe's Birthday dessert.

Comments (6)O.K. now I can calm down a bit.. Living next to a park has a few disadvantages....we always have squirrels, moles and voles, and leaves! As we are the first house next to the park, all of the leaves get caught here and even though I clean up well in the fall, over the winter a ton of leaves blows over here and I have another big cleanup in the Spring. My rule of thumb for said cleanup is the 29th of March - DS's birthday - because that is usually when it is safe to uncover the garden. But this year, with little snow, the dry leaves are everywhere, and this week-end's beautiful weather has tempted me beyond control. So I have raked and tidied for two days. With our small lot, that is about all it takes. However...one thing I can't abide is being called "Dear" by anyone other than my DH or my Mother. As dear Mother is with the angels, only DH has this right. So when the elderly neighbours stop by and say "You are taking off the leaves way too soon DEAR, it is too early to rake DEAR, I have to gnash my teeth and smile as nicely as possible and ...well, grin and bear it. I am 61 years old but am much younger than most of my neighbours...two bed bunglows and small lots in a subdivision tend to attract people of a certain age - and 61 is not it. These same oldsters stop all summer to tell me that I have the nicest garden in the area (not really - maybe the nicest amateur, but most have pros) and do not hesitate to ask me for things "if you are planning to split that whatever it is DEAR, I would like some..." and I always split stuff up and share. My family is just in fits of hilarity over this, as they know just how much I hate being called "Dear". Happened three times today - and not DH or Mom. O.K., rant over. I have a KA wannabe (Salton, a brand I've never heard of), Chelone, a gift from DD a few years ago...and it meets my needs very well. As I may have mentioned before, I am not a real whiz in the kitchen, and I would never have bought such an appliance myself, but I must admit it works very well and it gets much more use than I would have thought. Like you, I got by for many many years with a kitchen that was just barely adequate. Old houses require so much basic stuff (like roofs, plumbing, etc.) that the kitchen is often left unless the menfolk don't get to eat. After 26 years we put in an amazing custom designed kitchen that was absolutely wonderful... and then sold the house. Well, the teensy beautiful kitchen sold the house... After much discussion, DH has finally realized that I simply cannot go on without a greenhouse, having had one for several years attached to house with the afore-mentioned wonderful kitchen. We really have no place to build one here....but...we DO have a garden shed. We have installed a nice window in this shed, left over from when we had the solarium window installed in what was supposed to be the dining area of this house. DH and DS have now come over to my point of view that replacing the shed roof with greenhouse material and changing the shelving inside would provide me with a reasonable facsimile of a greenhouse. But of course, the $$$$. After the reunion, I think. But very exciting for me - I loved my greenhouse! My Giant Cactus Zinnias are all up, but I have lost one whole pot to damp-off. I have watered well with Damp-off, but this whole pot has succembed. I used general potting soil for seed starting for the first time- next time I will go back to soilless mix. The peppers are doing well though, as are the Four O,clocks and the Lobelia. Yes, Marian, the Lobelia I have started are dark blue with a white throat. The Cannas are all poking their heads up, and the Pelargoniums that I started from cuttings last fall are enormous! Outside, I hae tiny little buds on several clems, the iris are just showin a hint of green points, the crocus are just sticking their noses out to see if it is spring, and, wonder of woners, my climbing Hydrangea has leaves. There is still ice at its base!! Anyway, sorr y for the "me" post but I haven't been here ofr so ong, I am almost afraid to look at what I have missed!! Cheers, to you all and Happy Spring!! Gootta go vacuum... Cheers, Julie...See MoreIdyll #343 Lurkers Open House
Comments (105)We went out for dinner last night with the crew from the helpmeet's workplace. It was good fun; a nice bunch of people, lively conversation, and lots of laughs. I was ready for beddy-by-lo by the time we got home. So, over breakfast this morning the helpmeet confessed his stress level is increasing hugely with every day. I asked if it was about work? no, turns out he is freaked out that he hasn't gotten me one Christmas gift this year. I just laughed and said I hadn't done any shopping for him, either, adding that if he didn't FEEL like going shopping he didn't have to as far as I was concerned. The reality of our lives is that we have everything we could possibly need and a nice, relaxing morning with the pets and tree and a relaxed dinner would be just fine with me. I pointed out that we have a very large "gift" to the side of our home. "You wouldn't mind if there were no gifts under the tree?". NOPE. "I married the finest person I know.". SO DID I. Christmas should never be overrun by stress and unrealistic expectations. Bella and Kenzie are getting so BIG; they don't look like "toddlers" any more. Patty Play Pals "come to life"! Deanne, your photos are just wonderful. I am actually rather excited about getting a tripod and moving away from the "take aim and shoot" mindset. I can swing either Wednesday you mentioned. I will not, however, be doing any driving if the weather is inclement. Wendy, I thought of you as the snow overtook my area and I began to hear reports of dreadful driving conditions on the highways in your area! I can't even feature being stuck in your car for 5 hrs. trying to accomplish what should have been a "slow" commute. I do understand the concerns about allowing a kid to fall on his face academically. And I, too, am regularly shocked by disciplinary problems. But, when I was in school, there were still teachers that would hit a kid. The helpmeet received a ruler across the palms of his hands for being a jerk in class when he failed to "cease and desist". And a solid dose of shame and humiliation at the dinner table that night. Certainly I don't advocate corporal punishment, but it rather highlights the differences between the 50s, 60s, 70s, to present; and what does it all say about "family life" or the lack thereof? Dunno. I am concerned that we are working steadily toward raising another generation in constant need of praise and unable to endure the necessity of criticism and accountability. I know you understand that. People are so stupid and selfish about driving in the snow. No common sense, they don't accept that you have to slow down and you have to PAY ATTENTION and increase the amount of space required to react and avoid. I learned that one driving 40' buses. You can't stop or manoeuver quickly when driving a fully loaded bus, so learn to control the variables you can control. Last year, I had to go for a "mammygram" in a horrible snowstorm. I thought about cancelling, but went anyway (it was a "call back" for a suspicious area). On my way home I poked along at a blazing 25 mph, noting the large 4WD truck at a respectful distance behind me. I hit the gas to power through a plowed "wake" as I pulled into the little market. The truck followed me in. I got out and apologized to the guy in truck for being such a "nannah". He grinned and said, "you drive an appropriate speed for the conditions and your vehicle, you'll get where you want to go, don't apologize.". I'm fortunate that my "commute" occurs very early in the morning with minimal traffic! Eden, I'm glad your Mom got decent news. I don't blame her for going the extra distance and opting for radiation on the suspect area. Your sense of relief must be great. I can't wait to go back and click on the links for the trees and the arrangements when I have more time to really enjoy them. Yikes, I feel "really American" knowing the garage is probably bigger than your house... . No porta-potty, Sue, but if you're willing to wee-wee in the puckerbrush (or a pee-nut can) and use the "main house" facilities you're welcome to bunk up in the Salon for as long as you wish. No water view, either... unless, of course, you're willing to scale the roof on a clear winter's day. Sounds appealing, huh? As for "renting out"... we would enjoy "you guys", but most "tourists" would blanche at the way we live, here on the compound. :) I am so glad to see Katie in her jammies. But I DO want to see the zipper, too. I was surprised at how clean and neat the incision on Rex's leg was. I'm not sure why I thought it would be gorier than it was. He either removed one/two staples himself or they "blew out", but there is NO scar and I was also shocked to learn that many people never bring their dogs back to have them removed?! She looks so cute with her chicken. How many more weeks do you both have to endure confinement before embarking on PT? It's good to hear more of a chirp in your posts, Cynthia. :) Marian, LOL about "varmints". My sentiments exactly. Rex went mental this morning and sure enough, it was Foxy Loxy blatting his/her presence to the dawn world. Had the helpmeet not been home I'd have turned him loose. Foxy Loxies and "rats with long legs" are one of the reasons we have "thatfooldog". We have coyotes in this area, too, but they seem to be more common in the more open, less densely populated parts of town. Great shots. My "germamiums" gave up the ghost and there is no live plant material in the house right now. I think I'll have to get a Christmas cactus. Any other recommendations for something "bullet-proof" for a sunny location with a woodstove? I have laughed about Patty Play Pal and other fond remembrances. My favorite was RoseAnn Whitey (I named her). It was one of those rocking horses with springs attached to the supporting frame. I LOVED that thing. I would get it rockin' and rollin' and later, Mum confided she was frequently concerned I'd fall off. A harbinger of my penchant for fast ponies and horses in later years. Did any of you receive a tangerine or an orange in the toe of Christmas stocking? That was biggie in our home... along with walnuts (the nutcracker was on the floor under the stockings, next to the fireplace tools). Jerri, I completely understand wanting a "change". I'm not interested in something completely different as much as I'm interested in paving the way for a smooth transition to something that challenges me more and indulges a penchant for "pretty" and "beautiful". I'm a bit of a "nervous Nellie" when it comes to "job security"; to that end, we live "closer to the bone" than many would find comfortable. And whenever I've needed a change I've had the next "gig" lined up. I actually contemplated nursing for a brief period after Mum's surgery (Stoma/Wound Care; I have all the core science classes behind me, would require about a semester+a class/two to meet the requirements for the BS, and would face the clinicals). I think you should think about it carefully; work up a PLAN and revisit it periodically. I'm not saying "don't", I'm simply saying, put the plan together and look at it carefully over the course of time. You're a smaHt cookie and you'll make a good choice. It's important to be happy with what you do for work. I love to sew, and I have that going for me. What really remains for ME is how to use the skill I love to do things that "jazz" me and make me smile when I've finished the project. I'm thinking of you these days. I understand the thoughts that cross your mind every so often and at inopportune times. I lived in Virginia for one year. I LOVED it. I loved the climate and I loved that the streets weren't filled with faces that looked just like mine (white). My community is homogenous, and frankly, I don't think much about it day to day until I read a post like 'bug's. And then I am reminded of how insular my life's experience has been with the exception of that one year. Yet it hasn't made me fearful, mistrustful... rather, it makes me rather sad. Rather like going through life never savoring the full variety of "taste". I have to get moving on the day's chores, you guys....See MoreDilemma #1,343 - The Fridge
Comments (23)Thanks, marcydc. I'll try to price that Miele fridge. It looks built-in and I assume it is very expensive. It's beautiful, though. The door is a slider, but I don't know that I really want the cabinet run to go right to it. j_hack - thanks for going shopping for me! I really wish I could see these fridges for myself, but no such luck. I agree that they look great - I'm just really wondering how they function. I was considering an 18" DW until I saw one and realized that would not work for us. I have this terrible way of making everything work in my head, dimensions be damned... I don't want to do that here, clearly. People in my life have made the point that the tall, skinny fridge mimics the BS window in a good way. That's true, but still, the kitchen needs to function. I'm just not sure my previous decision to sacrifise fridge for pantry is wise. ChantelN - we love Costco, too, and also like to support them given their philosophy of paying employees a living wage. It's good to hear from people that have pantries elsewhere, actually. Maybe it just flat out makes more sense to go that route. localeater - I thought about posting a new post with that title, I was just a little worried about spamming the board. I worry people are getting weary of my dilemmas - I know I am! How gratifying to hear your impression that I am no longer spinning, I still feel very much like I am. However, hopefully spinning with some directional pull starting... lol We are committed to the LR bump out - the remaining question is how deep to make it. My partner was wanting to just make it small (7'ish inches) to make it align with the other wall in the hall, but now he is realizing he might want it deeper for mechanical reasons. I am thinking I might want it deeper so I can hang my fancy measuring cups and have little shelves on the side for oft used oils and spices on the side. We now have the wall down!!!! (huge step and very fun) rosie - Sorry, there is no room for a pantry in the laundry area, but if there was, for sure I would make it a linen closet, which we also don't have. As is, there is no door on the W/D cubby and the W/D unit sticks out a foot into the hallway to the bathroom. We are recessing it back and creating a bump-out in the kitchen to get it back out of the traffic pathway. I'm talking to my partner about taking the little bit of wall in the hall that we have down to the studs and maybe even steal some of his closet space to create a little cubby linen closet there, but I'm not even sure we can manage that. I really don't see a way to avoid bringing some narrow cabinets into the DR, but we'll see. The DR is the least used room in the house as we don't tend to have a lot of formal entertaining. Maybe we will use it more with the remodel - but we are putting seating on the peninsula, so we might use it even less? That will be interesting to see. I do hope to entertain more - and I owe people some dinners! I do appreciate your concerns and share them. Living in a house this small is a real challenge... It's always this way. My mantra has been "just 3 more inches... wish I had just one more foot..." the whole time I've lived here. I'm hoping that the remodel will help the house function more effectively and at least feel/live larger. The wall coming down is already helping with that. The truth is, not only was this house built small, it was not built smart. Thanks again for all the input. I'm still undecided on this one, but mulling!...See MoreLast dinner of 2013? What's for dinner ?
Comments (17)We were visiting my wife's family in Vermont which ends up being a large group, with most of her brothers and sisters, and their spouses and kids, and this year even several girlfriends of the kids. All told we were about thirty. Meals were split up with one or two people volunteering for each meal. New Year's Eve was my night. I was stumped at first as far as what to make, but the co-volunteer Eric (a foodie BIL) came up with the suggestion of top-your-own tacos. We actually went with tostadas, and made black beans, three different meat toppings, and about a dozen other topping options, with side dishes of Mexican-spiced rice, and homemade cole slaw. Logistically the meal worked well, although some people didn't realize that they were supposed to be able to pick up the tostada after they made it, and instead they buried it beneath a 2-inch deep mound of toppings. Also we forgot to put out the guacamole until after half the people had served themselves. Food wise, some parts of the meal worked better than others. The shredded chicken verde was good but would have been better with more of the tomatillo salsa, however the co-op closed early, and the normal grocery store had no green salsa. The beef/chorizo was good but could have used a bit more of something, Eric and I couldn't decide what it needed. The shrimp was a big hit, the only problem with it was it disappeared so fast, the recipe (as well as I remember it) for the shrimp is below. Chili-Lime Shrimp 2 lbs peeled uncooked shrimp (31-40 count -- cut into thirds) 10 cloves garlic (minced) 1 4oz can diced green chilies 2 limes chili powder canola oil Liberally cover raw shrimp with chili powder and the juice of 1 half of a lime, and let rest for 10 minutes. In small pan, heat oil over medium heat, add garlic and green chilies, until garlic is softened and fragrant. remove from heat. In large pan, heat oil over high heat, until it is smoking hot, add shrimp stirring occasionally to make sure all the shrimp are getting cooked, and none are burning, after about 2-3 minutes the shrimp should all be cooked, add the garlic and green chilies that you set aside, and the rest of the juice of the limes. Stir for about 1 more minute, and place in large bowl to serve. Overall the meal received rave reviews....See More- 10 years ago

Partst. Thank you.
Baked a rhubarb tart yesterday.
Free-form. Cut one stalk of rhubarb lengthwise into three strips and placed them around the edge. Folded the dough over and sealed to form a rim.
Served with whipped cream. 
10 years agoClaudia, your DH's comments are soooo funny!!! And so very true!
Neely, I love roast beef and your hubby does a great job making it!
Ann, I love your pot roast, and your chicken breasts, with the skin on. I've often wished they'd leave the skin on boneless breasts but I've never seen that. Ina always bought her boneless breasts that way.
The lighting on your dish of strawberries is breath-taking.
I made a banana and crushed pineapple cheesecake. It's a change from the refrigerated cherry cheesecake.

It looks like desserts are being cooked lately and especially rhubarb, I have some so must get onto cooking it. I think we call your strawberry dessert Eton Mess Ann t. I have made what I call an Aussie Mess using mango.
So to dinners.
Fish, chips and a beet quinoa salad.
Lamb chops with roasted vegetables including beets and fennel.

Jasdip, I can often find boneless chicken breasts with the skin left on. But this time when I wanted them, they were not to be found. But it is easy to just bone out a few breasts which is what I did this time.
Neely, Moe would love if I made him home-made fish and chips. But we have a great Halibut Fish and Chip shop in the area so I usually get take out.
Your lamb dinner looks delicious.
Handmixed two batches of dough on Tuesday. One was a Caramelized
onion and poppyseed dough that I baked same day.
And the second batch went into the fridge was was taken out on Thursday evening and baked.
One pizza and
three baguettes.
Last night's dinner.

Ann t's pizza and bread look wonderful as usual as does the chicken.
My dinners are rabbit and return of the rabbit X 2
We were given a dressed rabbit so first off I made rabbit with rosemary, speck and porcini mushrooms.
The next day I served the left over on a bed of Cous Cous and in doing so proved that the meat tasted better the day after. Forgot to take a photo.
Finally, there was still some sauce left and has it had been well refrigerated I added small fresh mushrooms and served that with penne for a lunch.

Ann T, your stunning photos always make me salivate right away!!! Dang, Ann!!! I'm swooning!!!!
Oh, Neely, you are so very lucky to get rabbit, have rabbit, cook rabbit! It's one of my favorites that I grew up with not only with my parents, but with grandparents on my Dad's side. Finding it locally takes a special order and it's super expensive!!! (super expensive considering they're practically born pregnant!)

I don't understand why they have pale crusts but they taste alright.
I made the first two one day
and the loaf the next day.
I didn't have a loaf tin so made it in a cake tin!!!

Jasdip, do you mean that you use an ice cream bucket for your bulk rise or for a shaped loaf that is proofing before putting it in the oven?
Dinner last night - Rack of Pork. I had a craving.
Pork makes the best gravy.
And for dessert
I made a Strawberry Meringue Roulade.
Strawberries were from our own little patch.

- 10 years agolast modified: 10 years ago
Jasdip, I use plastic containers with lids too for the bulk rise. In fact I hand-mix right in these containers using the stretch and fold method, and then just put the lid on and leave to rise.
When ready to shape, I do have a round banneton but more often than not ,if I'm making a round loaf I will just shape and let rise on a flour board. Unless I'm making a white sandwich /country style bread I don't use pans.
Just took these baguettes out of the oven. Dough was made on Monday and then into the fridge for a longer fermentation. Taken out this morning, shaped and proofed on a floured dough board. Baked on a stone. I have a second batch in the fridge since Monday that is destined for pizza.

Annie thanks for being so patient with my blunder. That'll teach me to not re-reading the posts before submitting my comment. I'm sorry for your stepmom, and everything you've had to endure.
Ann, your picatta looks perfect. I made a batch of meatballs using a mix of pork and beef and froze them. Extremely handy to have for quick meals.
Fine Cooking had a fantastic looking kebab recipe using lamb and Haloumi cheese. I tweaked it to our tastes, using chicken, green peppers and onion. I bought some Halloum cheese which is a firm Mediterranean cheese that's perfect for grilling. It doesn't get all melty.
Since today was a hot and humid day, I made marinated carrot salad, as well as a Greek-type salad using broccoli, asparagus and peppers. Orzo on the side. The cheese are the chunks on the left.

Lots of chicken going on here on WFD! Everything looks delicious, and I'm taking notes, for chicken recipes.
Currently I have chicken stock simmering in the Nesco on the counter, it'll go until tomorrow. We processed chickens over the weekend, I was happy with our final product. We got 70 pounds of chicken from 11 birds, and they were nice and plump, but not fat...
And yes, I saved the feet for stock, LOL, although these were "saved" for some prank or another that Elery's son wanted to play on his kids.
So what's for dinner? Beef! (grin) Porterhouse steak done on cast iron, with sauteed fresh asparagus and some corn. Corn wasn't mine, of course, or even local, but the asparagus came from my garden and the beef was our own.
Elery did some cooking too, this was grilled pork loin with pineapple and bacon:
He also made a nice pot of our own beans, from last year's garden, with kale, also from last year's garden and fennel, I liked it very much.
A couple of nights later we had broccoli/edamame/purple carrots with tuna steak and french fries.
A fast meal was asparagus and mushroom frittata with cornbread and pinto beans. I really like beans, can you tell?
Besides, I had eggs in the fridge. That's my "garden" fridge, right now I have something like 24 dozen eggs in it. Yeah...
Ashley and the girls were here last weekend, and Ashley's birthday was the 6th of June. So we made a Texas sheet cake and some of Colleen's lemon butter/curd. You know, those eggs...
And, since I had helpers, we also made pancakes for Mom for breakfast.
So, I've been cooking and I've been eating, but I haven't had time to post. And now I'm at the end of the pictures I can post, so I need to make a new posting to finish up. (grin)

Elery's son and DIL and their 3 kids were here for the weekend, to help process those chickens. We had 22, but 11 of them were for his son, with the requirement that he come and help pluck. Elery, the romantic devil that he is, bought me a birthday present a few weeks ago, my birthday was May 30. And I got this:
Actually, it's amazing. I can pluck a chicken in 15 seconds, instead of 15 minutes, I love it!
So, with my extra time, I baked Honey Wheat Bread, cheese buns and a rhubarb strawberry pie. The rhubarb was from my garden and the strawberries were not mine, but they were from Michigan. Local strawberries won't be ready here for another couple of weeks, I think. I used the lard I rendered last fall in the crust.
We had burgers on the grill, some au gratin potatoes, home canned pink half runner beans, fresh spinach. And pie, of course.
The kids had fun swimming in the pond, they pedaled the boat out to the middle and jumped off. Elery insisted on life jackets and Bud opted to stay with the boat, as someone had to keep it from drifting away.
And so, now, I think I'm caught up!

All your cooking and photos look terrific Annie.
I also made a rhubarb pie and a little fig jam tart with the left over pastry.
Dinners have been Pork chop, greens and fried sliced potatoes cooked by DH
Also fish and chips (again). It's interesting keeping this record of what we eat.

I made a new dish. It's a called Bihon Pancit, a Filipino recipe. It was terrific, and when we get the urge for Chinese I'll whip this up.
I used Vermicelli cellophane noodles instead of rice noodles. I also substituted thin asparagus for the green beans. Minced fresh ginger (I have lots!). I couldn't wait to put this in my keeper binder.
