What's for Dinner?

[GrrlFriday]

Making your own is easy peachy.

Basil
Olive oil
Cloves of garlic
Toasted pine nuts

Put it all in the food processor and push the button!

One of the interesting things about pesto is that pine nuts used to be cheaper... but now they are considered rare and a delicacy.

I've seen chopped (minced?) cashews substituted for pine nuts in some recipes, and others recommend pistachios. http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/20...et-the-price-of-pine-nuts-keep-you-from-pesto

Chicken and waffles, fuckers.

 

[Saucyminx]

Were the fuckers the side dish?

The cat didn't get sticky did he? That would be disasterous.

Beef strips, stir fried. Added to fried chopped ginger and garlic, with sliced spring onions, and cashews; the sauce contained a dash of soy, corn flour, water and a dash of sesame oil. With steamed rice.

You might consider Barilla brand Pasta Plus. It leans the direction of my nutritional goals better than whole wheat. Very high in protein for a pasta. A little chewier than conventional semolina pasta, but I think a better texture than whole wheat. It's coloration is very similar to ordinary egg and flour pasta.

Was transport to a funeral for a friend, so I dined on potluck...some of it was interesting. Unbelievably spicy green chili. glad I only helped myself to a tablespoon's worth.

Tonight I went to the local cafe..the special was not bad. The just called it chicken Chimi, but i have had similar elsewhere as 'Pollo Fundido', It is a shredded,, spicy chicken Burrito, deep fried (Chimichanga style). What made it fundido was the cream-cheese avocado mixture melted over the top. Washed it down with a couple shots of Jamison's Reserve.

Chipotle Barbacoa bowl

Brown rice, peppers and onion, black beans, mild and double on the hot salsa, barbacoa, lite on the sour cream and shredded cheese and lettuce.

Made some slaw while I wait for my stew to slow cook.

Unlike the Vegetarian Version...The flavor of my Vegetable Stew benefits from mostly being made from Beef and Veal.

What do you put in your slaw? Raw cabbage just tastes soapy to me, so I don't eat it often.

 

[Que]

In this case I used a prepared slaw dressing...sweet, a little tangy.

I dressed it, then let it chill and marinate in the fridge.

I use to find cabbage to be bitter with that bite. Mexican use cabbage rather than iceberg because of temperature iceberg tends to wilt too easily.

I've got to liking shredded cabbage on fish tacos. Now I have positive associations with it.

Funny, because I used to not care for fish.

Ribeye steaks on the grill with some kind of compound butter, an arugula salad, and a Syrah made by a long-lost college friend who I recently learned has been making wines in California for the last decade or so.

Grilled Chicken and Bacon Sandwich with Butter Parmesan Squash and Pasta Salad

The pasta salad is made with whole wheat pasta and that's why it looks so dull.

Cherry pie for desert.





Grilling Chicken on Cast Iron

Brine chicken first for juiciness.


How to Toast a Bun

Yes, butter. Yummy saturated fat.


Butter Parmesan Squash

It's easy:

1. Half Squash
2. Dust with Garlic Powder and Salt
3. Place Butter on top
4. Add Parsley Flakes (Basil works too)
5. Microwave
6. Add Shredded Parmesan and Broil
7. Sprinkle with Pepper

That looks so good.

You might be able to "text" the picture to your email address rather than a phone number. Then access your email to retrieve it.

You are welcome.

If you have a lot of racy photos just taking up space on your phone, you can email them to free up some room.

Thank you



Your dinner doesn't sound too shabby either.

Can't help you with the picture. I used my cheap Sanyo and then put the card in my laptop.

I meant to buy a card for my phone today and totally forgot.

Now I have to go back to the store. Drats!

Anyways, keep up the posts and pics.
