Tonight we have having meatball sammies:

2 lb lean ground beef or turkey or whatever meaty mixture you like
1/2 c. onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c. bread crumbs
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 tbs Italian seasoning
s and p to taste
2 c. marinara sauce. DH makes his own but use whatcha like
1 c. mozzarella, shredded
8 Hoagie rolls. We like a more dense, more sour roll and use a Portugese roll.



Combine first 7 ingredients, mix well. Form a total of 24 meatballs and place on cookie sheet. Bake in pre-heated 350* oven for about 30 minutes. Remove from overn and drain grease. Open rolls, place on clean cookie sheet. Place meatballs on rolls and top with warm marinara sauce. Top with cheese and bake until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Here you go:

Perfect Rib Roast

1 (bone-in) rib roast, trimmed
olive oil
salt
cayenne pepper
fresh cracked black pepper
garlic powder

Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Rub the roast generously with oil and seasonings. Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan on the bottom shelf of the oven. Do not cover the roast.

Now here's where it gets a little tricky. Cook the roast at 500 for five minutes per pound. Then turn the oven off. DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN and leave it in the oven for a total cooking time of two hours. So if your roast weighs 10 lbs cook it for 50 minutes at 500, then turn oven off and let it remain in the oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes. The meat continues to cook in the oven and this will give you a perfect medium rare roast. If you want your roast cooked medium use an instant read thermometer or increase the cooking time at 500 by a few minutes per pound.

Karen, the vintner for Rosa Reglae is Banfi (Italian)...that info might help in your search.

I too would love the prime rib receipe. Is this the cut of meat that you throw in a 500 degree oven for 6-7 minutes per pound, then turn OFF the oven and leave the roast in for a few hours? Or is that for a standing (crown) rib roast???? hmmmmmmmm.....

Yay... I'm in!!! I'll have to upload some food pictures of the Melting Pot. We went there for dh's birthday and dd11 took pictures. But today I'm a little slow as it was my birthday yesterday and I had about 5 martinis, 2 butterscotch snapps & one X Fusion drink... Here's the recipe for X fusion:

1 Part X-rated Fusion Liqueur
1 part Crown Royal
Splash Apple pucker
Splash Cranberry Juice
Splash Pineapple
Squeeze of Fresh Lime wedge
Garnish with a cherry

X Fusion is a pink vodka. Very yummy if you like sweet drinks.

Hey! Happy Belated Birthday. Yesterday was my b'day too! (But I probably have you by a couple of decades.) I promised myself when I was young that none of my kids would be born w/in a month of Christmas, so I ended up w/3 Easter(ish) daughters. Well, they're all April anyway (this means a mother's ring w/all diamonds ).

I haven't ever tried an X Fusion, but it sounds pretty good. My tastes run to things like Bahama Mamas or Mudslides and Grand Marnier (which practically saved my life once, but that's a long story for another thread).

AND be sure your oven is clean, cause if it isn't there will be burning and smoking going on before that roast even gets inside.

I love this thread. I'm such a voyeur when it comes to food and what other people are eating! We're having an Indian Feast on New Years Day (we traditionally have it on NYE but we both have to work that day). It will include:
Nann
Parantha
Raita
Spicy Chickpeas
Mutter Paneer
Malai Kofta
Butter Chicken
Bhindi Masala
Yum I can't wait. I'll try to post pictures after the meal. Happy New Years.

 

[dvc4life]

Oh boy, count me in on this thread!!

Tinkerbelle, your food looks so yummy!!!! I am drooling. Please keep it coming.

Bendy, thanks for starting this thread. I have been following your other thread and find it awesome.

Can't wait for more!!!!

 

[whogirl'smom]

Wow! You did it and I am quite honored with the shout out for the title. I have to tell you that you have evidently gotten our family hooked on brandy milk punch b/c we tried to improvise today with eggnog, brandy and milk because we were desperate! Not too bad when you play with the amounts a little bit. I love the taste of eggnog but not the thick texture, hence the milk. I'm going to be a fat sot by New Year's.

I think we're having different appetizers for NYE and just a couple of friends over. I know I'm making my friend, Laurie's stuffed dates we had yesterday at our lunch. They were heavenly!

Laurie's Divine Dates

Stuff dates with goat cheese and roll in small slice of prosciutto big enough to entirely cover the date. Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes. How easy is that?

 

[BoosGram]

I'm thinking I'm going to have to try making that bread pudding; wow, that looks good.

As my tiny contribution to a Happy New Year, here's a Strawberry Champagne Punch recipe that we like (and it's soooo easy, too):

1 2-liter bottle of chilled ginger ale
2 bottles of chilled champagne
2 packages of partly thawed frozen strawberries

Mix in a large punch bowl and serve. You can use less champagne if you don't like stronger drinks. You can also use additional ginger ale and strawberries and make a frozen ring to add to the punch.

Whogirl'smom (and I'd love to know where your name came from), those dates sound unusual but good. Thanks for the recipe.

For all you bookish types out there, did you know about the Project Gutenberg site? It's at http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page, and it has a lot of books that you can read or download for free. Of course, the works are older and copyright free, but there's still an amazing treasure of fiction and non-fiction available.

 

[Mysteria]

Bendy, I didn't follow the link from your new/other thread, I just saw the word 'bar' and I was in. What does that say about me?

Errr the same thing about me? We are destined to be on the same threads.

OMG. Perfect prime rib. Can't wait until my apartment is redone and i can cook that.

 

[Tink rules]

Bendy... I told you... if you build it... they will come...

Just popping in for a minute while the laundry runs and the bathrooms clean themselves ...

I've got our New Year's Eve dinner all set ... it's just Jay and me and the wii.

We're having the following:

Lobster Mac 'n' Cheese
Spinach Salad
Fresh Bread
Leftover cheesie goodness from Christmas (pictures coming soon)
Chocolate Champagne Truffles
Rosa Regale

Yummmmmmmmmm!


And then the New Year's Day brunch we'd planned to get Jay's parents over here has been pushed back to January 3rd ... but will have even more goodies:

Crabbie Eggs Benedict
Croissants
Asparagoose Bundles
Fresh Fruit w/Amaretto Cream Cheese Sauce
Sticky Bun Bread Pudding
Brandy Milk Punch
Freshly ground / brewed coffee


Once this meal is over it's fat-burn city for Jay and me for the next few months ...


Share your meals, recipes, and pictures with us when you have time! There's no addiction like food porn!!!

Yeah... I don't think you guys eat that good...

Hey... I have your address... what time is dinner?

 

[Mysteria]

Bendy... I told you... if you build it... they will come...

Hey! Happy Belated Birthday. Yesterday was my b'day too! (But I probably have you by a couple of decades.)

Thank you.... What's even funnier is that my dh is born on 12/26 so, our birthdays are a day apart. Also, my dh is a CPA and our goal when trying to get pregnant was no babies from Jan to April and Nov & Dec. We couldn't have a Christmas baby. Anyways, I got pregnant but sadly miscarried and the baby was due July. So, I was able to get pregnant again but had to break my rule and we ended up with a Nov baby. My second dd was born in May. So, it worked out in the end...

Happy belated birthday to you too!

Followed you from the previous thread, :

Wouldn't this be better on the Cooking Board so we have all the recipes in place? http://www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=121

I don't want to lose your milk punch and ice cream recipe but with the other thread closed it will head to the bottom soon.
I was always hoping to have a good "food" thread so better here than nowhere.
