What's for Dinner ~ Sunday ~ Feb 2nd

It's so much work, posting a single thread about four times a week, just a title and no text in the body.

1. Filet mignon, garlic mashed potatoes, maybe peas to wrap it up?

Not feeling particularly inspired to cook today. Wish I'd had the foresight to defrost the turkey in my freezer. It would be a great way to help warm up the house today!

3. Spicy pulled pork wraps. Corn tortilla, pork, shredded cabbage, green chili sauce, scallions, lime.

Coconut rice. Cucumber and red onion salad. Everything's already made, save the rice. So it's just cook the rice, heat the wraps, plate the salad and eat.

4. Philly cheesesteak sandwiches

steak fries, mushroom gorgonzola pastry puffs, fresh veggies w/ ranch dip.

And homemade cinnamon pecan pinwheels for dessert.

Bring on the football!

5. Caramelized Onion, Mushroom, & Tortellini Soup

Plus appetizers.

Even though nobody cares about the Superbowl here, it's hard to not indulge on some snacks: jalapeno poppers and macaroni-cheese balls. Slow-roasted sausage with those small red, green, and yellow peppers.
 
I'm serving up my Caramelized Onion and Mushroom Tortellini Soup, which turned out to be a winner. I made it with mushroom stock that I made myself. Rigatoni stuffed with portobello mushrooms. The greens are spinach.

6. Chicken tikka masala.

First try.

9. Roast chicken.

Dressing and broccoli in cheese sauce. I'm one of the 37 percent who doesn't watch the Super Bowl. It's Downton Abbey night!

^^^I'm not sure why, and it's nothing that's hinted at in what the primitive dines upon, but I have the impression the primitive has badly-fitting false teeth.

I dunno where I get the idea, but there it is, there you have it.

10. Italian Sausage

Italian sausages in the crock pot with tomato sauce, onions, red/green peppers, garlic,

Serve on crusty rolls with giardiniera.

Roasted potatoes for a side.

11. grilled pork chops

with roasted baby red spuds, and steamed broccoli w/ lemon.

ps: back from a weekend in Pasadena, whereby I got to cook for a house party of 12 people. (Also, a wine tasting party, with tons of finger foods.) I felt "back in the game" when it came to the culinary arts! T'was awesome to finally cook for others again, not just for myself.

NJCher (16,234 posts)    Sun Feb 2, 2014, 06:37 PM

12. that sounds great!

I, too, love cooking for others.*

Fortunately, there is no shortage of good food lovers around here!

*the primitive ain't never gonna cook for franksolich, if that picture she posted in her first comment at this campfire's reflective of what and how she cooks.

Gah.....

13. I was happily drafted

Some old (and some new) friends wanted a wine tasting party, but no one wanted to cook. So, I "volunteered" to cook for all. (Meaning... "if Gali cooks, we'll keep him buzzed on wino all night.")
 
I think it was a win-win for all... heh heh! The wines were outstanding, the one I brought came in 3rd out 12 bottles. All wines had to be bought for less than 20 bucks, as a rule. Had a cool time!

<<<for some reason, suspects this ^^^primitive's gay, and not only that, but of the fluttering type.

Hopefully the gay lillio primitive's friends counted wine bottles before the end of the evening. Few things would be more embarrassing than going to the ER on Super Bowl Sunday to retrieve a lost bottle.

Coach is being too generous in his assessment of that dish.

Calling that bowl of stuff "vomitous" understates how revolting it is.

It looks like an autopsy photo from some poor soul drowned in summer weather and found a month later.

It is to cuisine as the CalPig is to poetry.

I mean, seriously.

Maybe too much is made about the appearance of food--maybe one should be more concerned about what's in it rather than what it looks like--but man, this takes the cake.

Gah......

It looks like someone had really bad liquidous diarrhea and didn't flush the commode.

Gah.....

   agreed.  I can't imagine anyone being so gross as to post such a pic.  There is no way that anyone ate any of that.  Looks like raw chicken floating around with some spinach in a broth from boiling rocks for aquarium.  I very nearly gagged thinking of having to taste that slop.

Ha, ha, sucks to be you! But then, we here in the PacNW have to celebrate these victories because they only happen once every 30 years or so!

Leave it to them to screw up a classic.... I'm just dumbfounded at this ingredient list.

I made lasagna.  Speaking of which, where the hell is Amber?

Maybe rearranging her Section 8 furniture.

It's an even bet she's in Crystal Naydean's government trailer in Joplin.

[Carl]

If you ever wondered what it looks like when you lift the cap off a septic tank wander over and take a look at that "soup".

[Karin]

I can't see that pic, and now I'm curious.  I just see an X.

[Chris_]

It gets worse every time you look at it.

[JohnnyReb]

It gets worse every time you look at it.

It's either been left out so long that it's growing pond scum or pond scum is the new DUmmie delicacy.

Maybe if you eat enough pond scum you become a better democrat?

[GOBUCKS]

Maybe a little closer look.

This is an epic DUmp recipe.

It may be the worst thing I've ever seen.

It looks like 'spinach with a vomit sauce.'

[GOBUCKS]

You may notice here and there around the bowl it seems to be bubbling, gurgling, like something down in there is rotting or fermenting.

This dish may remind the neckbeard of his previous career, fishing used condoms and tampons from Omaha's raw sewage.

[Karin]

I thank everyone for their very kind service in bringing that over.      Classic.

[GOBUCKS]

NJCher's tortellini soup goes straight into the DUmp Hall of Fame.

Congratulations to master chef DUmmy NJCher.

[franksolich]

I thank everyone for their very kind service in bringing that over.      Classic.

On my part, I don't thank anybody for bringing that over.

It makes me wince and cringe and the stomach flitter-flutter when seeing it.

Oh wow. 


Yeah, it's that bad.  Definitely worth a row-over to look and see.

[franksolich]

Seriously now, I'm not familiar with that dish, nor most of the ingredients in it.

For all I know, it may smell tasty, and taste good.

But its appearance, well.....if it's truly good, surely there's other ways and means of making it, without making it so, uh, unaesthetic.  Really, the sight of it convulses this stomach.

[Chris_]

Can we use that title for the DU cookbook?

[BattleHymn]

I've been trying to figure out where I've seen a dish that looks like the primitive barf dish before, and it's finally struck me.  Anyone who has ever baked pig's feet will know what I'm going to talk about here.

Before you bake the feet, you first boil them in water,  all the while scooping the scum off that floats to the top of the water.  After the first boil, you dump out the first batch of water, and boil another batch, also making sure to scoop the scum off that floats to the top.  

This dish looks like the first boil of water, if you never scooped the scum off the top.

First, the DUmmie dish:



Then, the pig's feet water:  

[Chris_]

That's nasty.
