What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[NYCgrrl]

Great day of shopping. Got a picture frame that made my head swirl and an old set of lace making tools. The frame is for DGD and the spools should make a beautiful start to a shadow box. We decided to spend the night and return to Germany tomorrow so still some shopping to do.

Dinner was eaten at a Belgian restaurant known for its fish but still serving some beef dishes to make others happy. We split a dozen oysters and then went our separate ways. Poached skate with dark butter for me and filet mignon and Bernaise sauce for GF. We came back together for dessert and shared a crème brûlée.

Tonight is a pantry staple of Trader Joe’s wedding soup in a jar, homemade biscuits and a green salad with avocado.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Monday!

Tonight is Chicken Pot Pie, the rest of the asparagus and maybe another salad

Today it’s a new flea market and a new restaurant in Brussels. Chose the place du Jeu de Balle/Vossenplein for shopping. Found a collection of vintage and antique buttons that should make nice decoration on pillows and GF went for garden pots mostly.
We ate our last meal together in Belgium before hopping on the train back home. She had a traditional Belgian stew called waterloozi and I opted for mussels and honest to goodness fries; totally worth the carbs. Decided to bypass dessert for ”bevvies”on the ride back so grabbed some cider before we got on the train.

Recently watched a Korean show where the chefs served skate Korean style. Can't say that's a dish I'd raise my hand to try.
Poached with brown butter and followed by creme brulee? Yes, please.

Meanwhile it's taco Tuesday here.

The last time I made chili I froze some so having that tonight.

I have not heard of this. Could you share a little more about it? Always curious about new things to try! Thank you!

It's an easy meal -- ground beef sauteed with onion, green pepper, parmesan, and garlic; stir into cooked noodles and add tomato soup, amount depending on how soupy you like it. Bake at 350F until bubbly.

Swedish meatballs over egg noodles for DH and egg noodles with butter for me with salad.

We had a late lunch yesterday & didn't want meat for dinner. We decided to share a takeout meal of side salad, butter & parmesan linguine & bread.

Tonight we're having sliced pork bao buns & ramen.

Actually, back in the early 80s, restaurants were passing off punched skate wing as scallop. I know this because I worked for a government testing lab, running protein profiles of the flesh; it's illegal/false advertising to sell something as 'scallop' that is actually skate. Supposedly they are very similar, and depending on the preparation difficult to tell apart.

Supper here tonight is grocery store "chinese style" sausages, served with a bag of Trader Joe's vegetarian fried rice, punched up with added peas, corn, squash, and green onions so it was both starch and veggie.

Tonight was chicken parmigiana, ziti, and salad.

Yes, it's a very mild taste like scallops, which is why I'd partake if poached with brown butter. Apparently in Korea it's frequently served raw, prepared with lots of spicy and pungent ingredients. So much so that many Koreans, and most Korean chefs on the show I watched, had not acquired a taste for the dish. It was portrayed as clearing out your sinuses. The two chefs picked to make a dish with the skate were not personally enthusiastic about the ingredient.

Home made.....so different than the ones from a store. Different veggies and less crust,

Tonight is Denver Omelet and strawberries

Hmmm…. raw with lots of heat? I’d try that if plied with enough beer .
The dish I ate in Belgium was very mild in taste and come to think on it truly reminiscent of scallops! I’d forgotten about that food scandal so thanks for reminding me
Last night here so we are traveling in the Way Back Machine for a typical Germanic meal with a Swiss bent: a green salad with grated carrot, rosti (sort of like a hash brown pancake) and various wurst on a raclette grill. Not allowed to see what’s in the dessert box but guessing it’s a cake, lol.

This was a room full of Koreans, mostly chefs, so I'm pretty sure the heat wasn't what triggered a whole bunch of turned up noses. The translations weren't the best, so I'm unclear what it was that brings the particular pungency, but right after the little pictogram for steamed sinuses there was a reference to ammonia, so my guess is this dish gives very extreme aromatics.

The weather here has been quite the drama today and I'm still a bit stumped about dinner inspiration. Pretty sure I'm thawing the pouch of stew I vacuum sealed back around February.
