What's for Dinner ~ Sunday ~ April 13th

Quote
Dinner usually refers to the most significant meal of the day, which can be the noon or the evening meal. However, the term "dinner" can have many different meanings depending on the culture; it may mean a meal of any size eaten at any time of day. Historically, it referred to the first meal of the day, eaten around noon, and is still occasionally used for a noontime meal if it is a large or main meal. However, the meaning as the evening meal, generally the largest of the day, is becoming standard in the English-speaking world.

Quote
Supper is a name for the evening meal in some dialects of English. While often used interchangeably with "dinner" today, supper was traditionally a separate meal. "Dinner" traditionally had been used to refer to the main and most formal meal of the day, which, from the Middle Ages until the 18th century, was most often the midday meal. When the evening meal became the main meal, it was referred to as "dinner", and the lighter midday meal was called "luncheon".

Quote
Lunch, an abbreviation of luncheon, is a midday meal of varying size depending on the culture. The origin of the words lunch and luncheon relate to a small meal originally eaten at any time of the day or night, but during the 20th century gradually focused toward a small or mid-sized meal eaten at midday. Lunch is the second meal of the day after Breakfast.

1. Slow-Cooker Spanish Chicken and Quinoa Stew

New recipe, so we'll see how this goes.

Quote
Quinoa, a species of goosefoot (Chenopodium), is a grain crop grown primarily for its edible seeds. It is a pseudocereal rather than a true cereal, as it is not a member of the true grass family. As a chenopod, quinoa is closely related to species such as beetroots, spinach and tumbleweeds.

2. Are only fancy things allowed in here?

I'd like to post but it probably won't be anything exciting. Probably mac n cheese. It's not my budget, it's just my talent is lacking!

6. Oh goodness no!

I test recipes for American's Test Kitchen and this recipe just happens to be one of the recipes that I'm testing. Very easy, with regular ingredients (ahem, other than saffron threads which I'm going to point out in the survey that I participate in).
 
Additionally, what I typically cook are just your old run of the mill, good old tasty food recipes.
 
Please do not feel intimidated. We are just a bunch of people who like to cook, sometimes extravagant if the moment inspires us, but some mostly, just good old tasty food.

Quote
Saffron is a spice derived from the flower of Crocus sativus, commonly known as the saffron crocus. Saffron crocus grows to 20–30 cm (8–12 in) and bears up to four flowers, each with three vivid crimson stigmas. Together with the styles, or stalks that connect the stigmas to their host plant, the dried stigmas are used mainly in various cuisines as a seasoning and colouring agent. Saffron, long among the world's most costly spices by weight, is native to Greece or Southwest Asia and was first cultivated in Greece. As a genetically monomorphic clone, it was slowly propagated throughout much of Eurasia and was later brought to parts of North Africa, North America, and Oceania.

And I can't believe how easy. Yes, I even did the "garnish" which truly added another level of taste.

3. Probably barbecued chicken

I'll most likely do a rub. And grill some vegetables as well.

4. Got a couple of salmon patties with cheddar and jalapeno

Do a grape tomato salad on the side with blue cheese dressing.

Quote
The jalapeño is a medium-sized chili pepper. A mature jalapeño fruit is 2–3½ inches (5–9 cm) long and is commonly picked and consumed while still green, but occasionally it is allowed to fully ripen and turn crimson red. Jalapeño juice is often used as a remedy for seasonal allergies and cardiovascular problems.

salmon patties in ages. May just have to add them to my list of things to cook this week.

9. leftover chicken made into g****y goodness

I will heat chicken chunks in a splash of greek salad dressing, and serve with tzatziki (yogurt, cucumber, dill, garlic, fresh mint, lemon), some baby greens and cherry tomatoes scooped into pita bread. Tabbouli alongside.
 
Getting in the mood for some Easter baking. Having an Easter egg hunt on the riverside lawn on Friday with twin two-year-olds and their cousins who are five and seven. I think carrot cupcakes might be in order. And I'm thinking lemon angel pie for adults. Little sandwiches. No nuts -- the twins are allergic. Maybe a bowl of defrosted peas and some blanched baby carrots for little hands. Maybe some cheese cubes, ham cubes, and a dunk. Oh, and strawberries!

Quote
Tabbouleh is a Levantine Arab salad traditionally made of bulgur, tomatoes, cucumbers, finely chopped parsley, mint, onion, and garlic and seasoned with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt, although there are various other variations such as using couscous instead of bulgur.

Quote
Burghul (also bulghur, burghul or bulgar) is a cereal food made from the groats of several different wheat species, most often from durum wheat. It is most common in European, Middle Eastern, and Indian cuisine.

10. pork chops

i have a bit of bbq sauce left, so i'll bake them in the sauce and toss in some pineapple. i'm thinking roasted t****s and kale salad on the side.

Quote
Kale or borecole is a vegetable with green or purple leaves, in which the central leaves do not form a head. It is considered to be closer to wild cabbage than most domesticated forms. The species contains a wide variety of vegetables, including broccoli, cauliflower, collard greens, and brussels sprouts.

11. Braised short ribs.

I'm cooking them with carrots and shallots.

Quote
Braising is a combination-cooking method that uses both moist and dry heats: typically, the food is first seared at a high temperature, then finished in a covered pot at a lower temperature while sitting in some (variable) amount of liquid (which may also add flavor). Braising of meat is often referred to as pot roasting.

Quote
The shallot is a botanical variety to which the multiplier onion also belongs. The genus includes onions and garlic as well as shallots.

Don't any of the primitives do just plain old hamburgers and French fries for supper?

I'll bet they do, but they lie, and allege to be fixing something more pretentious.

Well, this actually ended up being a decent-sized thread, even dear old sweet Lu getting engaged in it.

But nothing worth bringing over here; just the usual standard primitive pretentiousness.

They try to make it sound as if they drag out the candelabra and place it atop the Belgian-laced tablecloth, and lay out their best china, silver, and crystal, along with linen napkins.  And one of those thingamajigs with a votive candle on the base, on which one places a dish of something one wishes to keep heated. 

When in actual fact, especially in the cases of dear old sweet Lu in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Arkansas grandmother, and the gone-away hippywife primitive Mrs. Alfred Packer in the hills of OKlahoma, supper's probably laid out on an old wooden table with one shaky leg and covered with oilcloth that has some ketchup crusts on it.  And the dishes and silverware mismatched, sometimes being plastic.  And in the case of the fizzy one Stella, there's probably a couple of bongs there too, still filled with water from last week.

Tumbleweeds in a crockpot?   :lmao:

So Grasswipe is going to set out a bowl of peas and carrots for the little kids.  I predict foodfight, with little green shrapnel.

I took a look at the pic of the chicken and tumbleweeds stew.  It looks like it has little white worms floating in it.

Because dear old sweet Lu was too lazy to start the daily thread about what's for supper, Stella had to do it.

I swear, even a nest of hornets wouldn't get dear old sweet Lu off her ass.

what's for dinner - tax day edition

husband is staying with a buddy tonight, so i'll be on my own. it'll be either a salami sandwich on an english muffin or, if i'm feeling motivated, noodles and garlic butter with kale or broccoli.

5. mac [sic] and cheese made with Dreamfields pasta (low carb)..

....and a wedge salad. Also garlic rosemary toasts made with day-old ciabatta. I slice up a whole loaf and drizzle with garlic rosemary butter and olive oil and bake at 300 until very very dry and crispy. I used to do that when teenagers were in the house and I had access to day old levain from the family's coffee house -- use up three or four loaves this way, and keep them in a cookie jar for the kids to snack on.

8. My son moved back home

23-year-old boys still eat like teenagers, so I'm trying to cook in much greater quantity than when it was just 2 of us.

Tonite [sic] made one of his favorites, macaroni in a meat sauce (.5 lb browned ground beef and a jar of Ragu) baked with buttered bread crumbs. Cheap, makes lots and leftovers nuke well.

The primitives won't admit it, but all doesn't seem going well for them.

It couldn't happen to a more-appropriate gang of people.

4. The last of the short ribs that I made Sunday.

Tax day was not painful for me.

You know, this one's rather picturesque.

It's easy to imagine looking into the window of her kitchen, in one of those older crowded single-home neighborhoods of the suburbs of Chicago, near where Fat Che used to live until he got foreclosed; all these modest little houses where there's about three feet of side yard in between them.

The dining alcove in the kitchen, which looks very 1940s-ish, with those double-deckered curtains (a short one on the upper half of the window, a long one on the bottom half), the single-tubbed kitchen sink, the refrigerator that's about one-third motor (the bottom part), a trash can with a lever one pushes with the foot to open the lid on top, and one of those plastic boxes for dentures on the counter.

And great-aunty herself, an older Italianate woman, a spinster, somewhat overweight and with some facial hair, daintily munching on a small scrap of something on an old plastic plate.

She doesn't strike me as a cat person, though.

She rather more strikes me as an old lady with mild haemorrhoids.  Box-like in structure, from the base of the neck down to her hips.  An absolutely square box.

You know, someone who's been missing for the longest time now is the cbayer primitive.

Last I read, they'd finally gotten down the western coast of Mexico, ostensibly (I say "ostensibly" because damn it, she never wrote about it) through the Panama Canal, and were up near the former British Honduras.

Well, I must've missed something myself.

They were still way up on the northern part of the western coast of Mexico the next-to-the-last time I ran into the cbayer primitive.  And then suddenly several days later, she was writing about being near the former British Honduras.

They went through the Panama Canal, and the cbayer primitive didn't even write about it.

Frank, you are beginning to get on my nerves about the cooking forum.

You post your dinners with all kinds of what others are eating.  I have no idea of what they are eating as you post in a foreign language.  What the Hell are you talking about Italian food, that few speak the language or know if they are eating Mountain Oysters in tomato sauce or plain old spaghetti and meat balls.

Then you call the Dummy's pretensions ????

I have no idea of the food you post, how about posting something I CAN understand such as Ravioli in cream sauce or snails in hot butter and garlic.   

Forget the Italian name just tell me what they were eating in English, most of us old timers grew up on Chief Boy canned stuff.

After two days where she didn't do a damned thing--the drones had to start the "what's for supper" threads--dear old sweet Lu showed up, to start one.

It's just "what's for supper, April 16," no comments, no text, no nothing.

Dear old sweet Lu lives in the rustic Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina-eastern Tennessee; I'm sure there's always things going on there, and many things of a culinary nature.  She's got shitloads to write about, but she doesn't even put out a rabbit pellet.

If she finds being a hostess of a forum's s-o-o-o-o much work, she should cut it out, and let some primitive more motivated hostess the forum.

But she won't, because being hostess, she has access to their moderators' forum on Skins's island, where all the juicy gossipy personal details of the primitives are described and discussed, and she doesn't want to miss that.

Oh vesta, dear, you don't understand.

Even I have no idea of most of the food the primitives yip-yap about, which is why with this thread I decided from hereafter to include wikipedia descriptions of chow and methods, as shown in red on the original post here.

I've undoubtedly eaten many of those things, or cooked many of those things ways similar to how the primitives allege to prepare them, but being deaf, there's a "disconnect" between something and the word for something. 

You hear such words all the time, and since they stick in the memory, you know what pertains to what, what's what.

One can't remember what one's never heard; to me, they're just words.

When a primitive says she fricassed something, it goes right over this head; it's probably something I've done before, but I never heard, and hence never knew, the word for it.

And so the nuance of it, vesta, dear; the primitives taunt my lack of knowledge by using words they know franksolich doesn't know, and so I extract retribution by using words the primitives don't know.

<<<a pro at one-upping irritating people.

Frank, I think what vesta means is the dinners you describe when you go to town with your femme.  You write the items she's having in the language of what type of food the cook is making (Italian, French, German, etc) and vesta doesn't understand the different languages.

(Holy cow, I can't believe I'm explaining a vesta post! I must have fallen on my head recently!  :panic: )

Battlehymn, based on your reaction, I temporarily unignored her. 

"Chief Boy canned stuff"   :lmao:

I think that's a cross between Big Boy Restaurant and Big Chief writing paper.  I'm not sure yet.

What's for Dinner ~ Wednesday ~ April 16th

Of course dear old sweet Lu is just being pretentious, by using "dinner" instead of "supper."

Ain't we fancy, ain't we elegant, having dinner instead of the hoi polloi-ish commonplace supper.

The primitives try to give the impression they're decking out the walnut triple-leaf dining-room table, laying down a Belgian lace tablecloth on top, setting up an ornate candelabra in the center, putting in order all the best family heirloom china and silver, folding the linen napkins any one of six etiquettely-appropriate ways, and having one set of crystal goblets for the white wine, and another set for the red wine.

Ain't we fancy, ain't we el-eeeee-gant.

In real life, they're really just shoving off to the side the marijuana bongs stinking of stale old water, the dirty-on-the-outside salt-and-pepper shakers, the "lazy Susan" with all these tan-colored bottles of pharmaceuticals, the dirty dishes from the previous meal, so as to make room for putting down a scratchy old plastic plate on an oilcloth table covering crusted with ketchup and mustard stains.

1. Lentils with couscous and caramelized onions, roasted red peppers and eggplant salad and pita toast with feta.


Quote
Couscous is a traditional Berber dish of semolina (granules of durum wheat) which is cooked by steaming.

Quote
Pita or pitta is a slightly leavened wheat bread, flat, either round or oval, and variable in size. Flatbread in general, whether leavened or not, is among the most ancient of bread.

Quote
Feta is a white-brined curd cheese made in Greece, the Balkans, and Turkey. It is a crumbly aged cheese, commonly produced in blocks, and has a slightly grainy texture.

2. Shortribs & rice...

Marinated in sesame oil, soy sauce, wasabi. I would prefer grilled, but I think the man will be busy. Side it with plain jasmine rice and maybe some steamed v*****s if I can find any. Haven't made it for some time now, so hopefully it will be good.

Quote
Wasabi [is similar with] cabbages, horseradish, and mustard. It is also called Japanese horseradish, although horseradish is a different plant (which is often used as a substitute for wasabi). Its root is used as a condiment and has an extremely strong flavor. Its hotness is more akin to that of a hot mustard than that of the capsaicin in a chili pepper, producing vapours that stimulate the nasal passages more than the tongue.

Quote
Capsaicin (8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide) is an active component of chili peppers. It is an irritant for mammals, including humans, and produces a sensation of burning in any tissue with which it comes into contact. Capsaicin and several related compounds are called capsaicinoids and are produced as secondary metabolites by chili peppers, probably as deterrents against certain mammals and fungi. Pure capsaicin is a volatile, hydrophobic, colorless, odorless, crystalline to waxy compound.
