Oh my,
I know, I know, it's not politics, but the primitives tend to be really shallow and confused when it comes to politics, so mocking their political threads is like shooting fish in a barrel; not sporting.
<<<prefers to be sporting.

What's for Dinner, Thursday, May 28
It's a little early to start this I guess, but I've already had lunch (when you get up at 5 AM, meals are scattered - 10, 3, 6, bedtime).
Lunch was Monterey Jack cheese slices on club crackers, pop-in-the-mouth yellow cherry tomatoes (Sunburst?), olives, feta cheese in Romaine "scoops", watermelon, a glass of Merlot.
So, for dinner - some sort of a dish with a nice bit of left over pork loin chop. Thinking stir fry.
But first, a walk around town.

1. enjoy your walk!
i have a pound of ground beef that needs used, so i'll probably just do a quick meat sauce when i get home and serve it over egg noodles.

3. stuffed peppers
I bought a huge assortment of peppers and I hope I can make a sauce similar to the one the RG made for pasta last week. Using ground lamb. I have poblanos (not too hot, tried them), bell, etc.
Stir-fry broccoli.

5. Pineapple-citrus marinated chicken
done on the grill. With "enhanced" Mexican rice (I like to fold in spicy pico de gallo after the rice is cooked). As for the veggie, I have no clue. I'm "beaned out" for this week (overload), so I'll come up with something eventually.
And... beer. Day off tomorrow.

6. I made some killer Polenta last night so tonight will be.....
Polenta cakes with two toppings.....A sautee of yellow cherry tomatoes and onions along with a basil cream. The polenta has lots of parm and a touch of mascarapone so they are rather rich...and did I mention butter?
I'll make a big salad with an avocado dressing. I am suffering badly with the epitome of a first world problem...avocados that all ripen at the same time! Damn you Costco
And to top it off I made a small Italian Cream Cake with the rest of the Mascarapone so I have dessert covered too.

14. I'm visiting my sweetie, so we went out to celebrate National Hamburger Day at a small bar in
downtown Lansing. It was a perfect night--I was with my favorite person, beautiful weather for outside dining (78F with a light breeze), great 1/3 lb olive burger, medium, on a brioche bun & sweet potato fries. Discovered an AWESOME blueberry hard cider from Uncle John's Cider Mill (St. Johns, MI). I will have to find some. Not too sweet, great blueberry flavor & just enough alcohol to make it fun. It was perfection. And after dinner I kicked ass watching "Jeopardy."

15. olive burger!?
I've never heard of that, but it intrigued me, so I Googled it. Lots of recipes. I'm going to be trying this soon. I really love this idea. Yummly has a lot of olive burger recipes, and some are even for vegetarians:
http://www.yummly.com/recipes/green-olive-burger
The blueberry hard cider also sounded good, so I checked out my local wine store. I found some blueberry wheat beer and some blueberry wine. but no blueberry cider. I did learn that my state, NJ, is the second largest blueberry grower in America. There is a cider mill in the next town over, but I think they only do apple cider.
It sounds like you had one of those times where everything just came together. Life can be so good, yes?

16. Hard cider is a growing trend here. I've tried some lemon cider, good as is and makes a great cooler
1 part cider, 3 parts Merlot, 1 part soda, over ice. Garnish at will.

One thing that can be said about their "WFD" threads. They are ALWAYS predictable. :whatever:

Yet they all beg for a guaranteed income from the government just to get by. :censored:

That's a great idea for a thread.
Predict what they will have for dinner, then post what they had for dinner.

I hate how stuck up they act when talking about food.

At fizz's house that qualifies as gourmet cooking.
Then she and the old man will share an eighth of weed and a 12-pack of Old Milwaukee.

I'd be curious to know how many honest, hard working people are having to eat vienna sausages, sardines and crackers because of the taxes took out to give these DUmmies who are food snobs.

My town has people posting on pay it forward facebook pages, begging for items they can't afford and then on other pages you see them giving restaurant reviews! ****ing liberals.
