What's for Dinner Fri., Jan. 28, 2022

[NJCher]

Broccoli rabe with garlic cooked in olive oil and served over zucchini ricotta-parmesan pancakes.

Tomato-basil chicken sausage.

Vanilla with milk chocolate Haagen Daz ice cream bar for dessert.

Decaf coffee.







Here's the fireplace from dinner at my friend's last night. I so wish I'd gotten this done in my own house. I have a fireplace but have to build the fire. With this new gas connection, she just has to turn it on and voila, a fire like this. Very nice for ambiance in dining.

1. Rueben sandwiches

with locally made sauerkraut and locally corned beef. Franz makes a marbled rye that is quite good and readily available year round. A tossed salad with the last of the veggies from my produce drawer used up. Tomorrow is grocery shopping day and I'll restock the fridge.

Speaking of natural gas connections...Last summer I had our gas grill plumbed for natural gas. BEST $300 I've ever spent. No more running out of propane while I'm making dinner on the grill.

2. Steak and veggies

Colonial hearth. Would tear it out by the roots if I could.

3. It's going to snow soon enough where I am in NJ. So in anticipation,

I got Chinese take-out tonight as tomorrow night is not fathomable.

Ribs and fried dumplings.

I am happy.

4. Friday night Barbecue

I'm alone in the mountain house and I'm craving some barbecue.

Pork ribs cooked in Stubbs sauce in the crock pot. They'll go under the broiler for a minute or two to crisp them up.

Homemade macaroni and 4 cheeses. Special Cole slaw with lots of goodies thrown in.

A Klondike bar for dessert and maybe a short brandy.

5. Leftovers

Still about 2/3 of the quiche left from last night, and some roasted sweet potatoes from ATK recipe I saw yesterday on IG and made instead of baked.

Sitting here at the moment freezing and that fire looks really nice. Sipping a little hot coffee with Frangelico to try to warm up.

7. I cooked for Dad and Sis tonight

and ate w/ them

We had stuffed peppers (they were LOADED) and buttered beets.

Oreo cookies for dessert.

11. What were those peppers loaded with?

It's been a while since I had stuffed peppers.
My old standby was rice, ground beef and onions plus garlic, but it is not inspiring nor would I say loaded.

8. Friday, Pizza.

Wife all Italian. Homemade rectangular. Sweet peppers, different cheeses,
Mozarella sliced, fresh spices, sliced mushrooms, pepperoni. Nearly ready.

9. Leftover Lasagna

it seems better after aging in the refrigerator.

FLFC ate earlier. Various meats and as always some Temptations treats. We've never advised him that they are intended for his enemies, namely CATS!

[Luciferous]

10. Lasagna is definitely better as leftovers 🙂

[Yonnie3]

12. as is chili con carne

[Luciferous]

13. Yeah, that's good too!

14. Making chili for our gaming group

which means we'll be having chili tomorrow and the next day as well.

The chili contains ground beef, onions, garlic, tomatoes, pinto beans - and at least 6 kinds of chile: bell pepper, Anaheim chiles, dried anchos, dried New Mexico chiles, dried guaillo chiles, and chipotles. Usually add some poblanos as well, but didn't have any in the house.
