What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[leebee]

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.

Are you sure it was skate they were talking about, and not shark? Shark has a pronounced ammonia odor-taste, so much so that we used to have to neutralize it before we could cook/serve it.

Dinner here is steak, baked potatoes, Cesar salad (bagged) and crusty bread. Everyone is tired, this is an easy prep/clean up, and steak is on sale. Oh, don't forget the merlot!

Last night dd had a late lacrosse game, so it was fend for yourself with whatever leftovers you could find. I opted for some of the red, chicken chili. Tonight, I made pork tenderloin, orzo, peas and a salad.

We're sharing pork tenderloin w/ sauteed mushrooms on top, smashed red potatoes & green beans. We added a slice of carrot cake for dessert.

Tonight was frozen lasagna. I had a lacrosse boosters meeting (online) due to tornado sirens, so it was easy for the kids to fix.

No, it was definitely skate. It was clear in the discussion that people either love or hate the dish, no in between. It was the request of a guest on the show who enjoys it. The way even the chefs reacted to the announcement of the dish made it clear it was very polarizing so I got curious and googled. The pungency and aroma comes in from the other ingredients, not the skate itself. I get trying to bring flavor to a mild tasting protein can sometimes be a challenge, but that style sounds confusingly extreme.

Aglio e olio and a green salad tonight.

We'll be having burgers tonight, hopefully with tater tots if my daughter remembers to pick them up on the way home.

 

[evilmommie]

Probably leftovers. Leaving for the weekend to celebrate Granddaughter’s first bday!

Nice to be home and it’s all clean and place smells good. Home attendant took a portion of bean soup out the freezer yesterday so all I’ll have to do is pour it in a pot and heat up when I’m ready.

It's been a really bad and emotional day, so we stopped for McDonalds.

We were supposed to have turkey burgers but it was so raw and cold here today I decided to throw together a fast pot of soup when I got home. Chopped up onion, carrot, celery and threw that in a pot to saute a little, then added some frozen butternut squash and some frozen charred corn. Then added a quart of beef stock, a quart of chicken stock, and a can of crushed tomatoes. While all that was simmering I baked off some frozen meatballs that I then cut into quarters and they went in the soup, too. Garlic, basil, oregano, a bay leaf... shot of red wine and some A1 sauce, S&P. Literally, I was just throwing whatever we had into a pot. Served it with ditalini and crescent rolls. It truly hit the spot on this cold, windy night, and there's plenty left for the weekend.

I'm sorry to hear/see that. I hope tomorrow brings a better day for you.

You're really knocking it out of the park with your cooking creativity lately. Good for you.
