What’s for Dinner Tonight?

I'm not the best person to ask, but I'll give it a shot.

We've only found them in Wisconsin, but I think it's a Midwest thing. IOE, they're typically well themed restaurant where locals go to meetup. The first one we went to felt like we had traveled back in time to the 30s to 40s complete with a few older guys acting like mobsters hitting on younger girls at the bar. That's the coolest one we've been to though. Most of them just have a nice atmosphere. They typically have above average food & drinks, where multiple courses are common. I think there has been at least one free course with the meal at all the supper clubs we've been to. It may be as simple as a palate cleanser or significantly more. I think they've all offered a bread service, which isn't common at most restaurants we frequent these days. All that said, our experience with them is very limited. I hope someone who grew up in the midwest will chime in with a more accurate description.

I think it's a Wisconsin thing. I only heard about it on Top Chef Wisconsin a couple years ago. It sounds like a really cool thing if done right, which it seems like the one you tried accomplished.

Didn’t eat last night after all (too tired) so I’ll have the chicken tortilla soup this evening instead. Still minus the tortilla, lol.

I've decided on Korean style pancake for dinner tonight, this time with scallions, mushrooms, garlic chives and anything else I find in the crisper drawer that might work. Kimchi on the side with the rice unless I deeply commit to my Frankenstein plan and hope for the best.

We had grilled tuna steaks with an herb butter, roasted broccoli and quinoa last night.
Today, we’re on the road heading to Hocking Hills to camp for a few days and then visit dd at school. We’ll go out to eat once we unpack the car. Sadly, we no longer have a camper, but staying in a cabin, even a very rustic cabin, is better than being in a tent!

Hubby did a great job with the pasta! It was a very cheesy recipe and needed a protein like a ground turkey or beef. Overall though, it was very tasty.

Not sure what’s on tap today for din. It’s Master’s ️ weekend, so hubby will be camped out watching that…egg salad and pimento cheese sandwiches? Peach ice cream sandwiches? Might have to go to the store.

I did steak fajitas. On a flat round hard tortilla shell.

At Epcot there was a snack. That was around tortilla shell then avocado mash was put down then the meat, maybe sour cream was on top.

So I based my steak fajitas like that.

Had Motor City Pizza Co. 3 Meat pizza for lunch, so may not be hungry for dinner. If not, might be a cheesey tortilla from the air fryer, or buttered popcorn for dinner.

I’m still not feeling great and didn’t want to cook. We ran to a local place for a late lunch. I had a grilled cheese and DH had the Philly steak poutine. I had poutine envy

Mixed the ingredients of two different red lentil soups together as we come closer to the end of Lent. It became red lentil with yam, spinach, tofu and lemony yogurt. Nice bright flavor and the chunks of sweet potato added heft while the silken tofu replaced the meat originally called for.

Today is my eldest's 30th birthday and he is home from Chicago for the weekend,

Ordering Chinese food for dinner (Various Apps... Gen Tso Tofu... Sweet n Sour... Fried Veggie Rice... Veggie Lo-mien... Pork Egg Foo Yung)

Also making a birthday cake. I really only have one cake that I make, but it is a banging chocolate cake and I am frosting it with peanut butter buttercream.

Sounds like a cake after my own heart! LOVE that combo. Happy Birthday to your son!

Champagne in the garden was my dinner last night. Spent 8 hrs outside turning soil, fertilizing etc. My husband ate his left over lasagna.
