What's for Dinner, Wed., Aug. 5, 2020

[NJCher]

Steak.

Potato cake, made in cast iron skillet.

Tomato, cucumber, and ruffled lettuce salad.

Dessert: Santa Claus melon slices.

[soothsayer]

1. Hand grated potatoes in that potato cake?

Is it like a potato pancake/latke?

[NJCher]

3. peeled 2 medium size potatoes

Grated them by hand. Boiled the grated potatoes in salted, boiling water. Mixed potatoes with flour, butter, and put in cast iron skillet. Easy and fast.

This is an easy dish to add any herb to, just to make it a little different.

5. Chive and parsley would be good

Or maybe basil and garlic.

[soothsayer]

8. Yum! Except for the inevitable knuckle scrape for me

[NJCher]

This person bought some type of glove that prevented that. However, when I was placing an order for one, the RG asked if I knew how many potato pieces I could put in the vegetable stock container; point being to quit grating while there is plenty of potato left.

I think of that remark every time I put a piece of potato in the vegetable stock.

15. Oh Kevlar! I have one somewhere

[MissMillie]

2. pizza

Al wants just extra cheese, but there are a few leftover shrimp from the other day that I think I'll put on my side of the pizza with some garlic and broccoli.

Chocolate chip cookies for dessert.

(As I was making the cookies, I was tempted to put some orange zest in the dough. I nixed the idea because I though Al would disapprove. I'm just wondering if any of you folks have tried anything like that. I mean--orange and chocolate is a classic combo...)

4. Zucchini pancakes with a yogurt sauce

Salad from the garden.

6. German cuisine for tonight

We have several different German sausages that I'll grill.

Sauerkraut, of course along with a really coarse brown mustard.

Home-grown lettuce and cucumbers with red onion and tomatoes will make up our salad.

Fresh rolls with butter and Dinkelacker beer.

We'll finish the chocolate mousse birthday cake for dessert.


ETA: I'd love to know how you made the potato cakes!

[NJCher]

16. wanted to send good wishes

on your b'day yesterday.

That makes us both Leos, right? Mine was 7/31, same day as Jackie Kennedy's b'day would have been.

Are there enough instructions above for you to make the potato pancakes? The good thing about making them this way is how quickly they cook.

The potato pancake takes up the whole space of the cast iron skillet. The skillet gives it a nice, golden brown.

I love German food and chocolate mousse is my #1 fave dessert.

19. Thank you for your thoughts!

And thanks for keeping this daily "feast" alive every day. We foodies like our food!

7. i am trying a recipe i have been inventing in my head for a couple of weeks....

make tapenade from capers, 3 kinds of olives, feta and lemon juice.

pound chx breasts flat, layer on provolone and tapenade, roll up, coat in egg and bread crumbs, bake, top with red sauce and more provolone, bake again to melt cheese.

pasta alfredo and sliced cukes on the side.

cross fingers.

[soothsayer]

9. Yum! No garlic in that tapenade? The bite is so satisfying

[pnwest]

12. oh, yes, probably a good dash of that.... :)

[pnwest]

17. Oh! And feta...forgot the feta.

[soothsayer]

20. No you said feta! Sounded good

[happybird]

22. Sounds like it will be delicious! n/t

[soothsayer]

10. Chicken breast, mashed potatoes, fresh corn off the cob

Cranberry sauce.

Gin & tonic with Q lite tonic and Kew organic gin.

Later might attempt Vitamix ice cream with fresh berries.

[FoxNewsSucks]

11. Potato soup,

with bacon and cheddar cheese.

[peacebuzzard]

13. salad w/ croutons&cheese dressing, vegan ropa vieja

OJ for beverage.
water chaser
simple&no mess.

[Luciferous]

18. Stuffed pepper skillet and the kiddo brought me some fudge so a piece of that

for dessert

[happybird]

21. Pancakes

and a glass of frosty cold milk.

Read the thread about the racist ‘Aunt Jemima for VP’ comment by the mayor of Luray, and my second thought was, “Mmmm. Pancakes.”
(First thought was “What an complete asshole, he needs to resign.”)

ETA: reading upthread it looks to be a pancake-y kind of night!
