What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[LoveDaisy]

Tonight we grilled chicken and I tried a new marinade Mexican pollo asado seasoning (I bought it at Whole Foods) with Parmesan risotto and roasted asparagus.

Tonight was meatloaf using turkey burger and we had buttered noodles with it.
We also made hamburgers to put away and heat up for tomorrow.

Mussels and shrimp are good, cooked, but sucking boogers out of rocks are out for me

If you continue to follow this thread, which I hope you will, you'll see we eat raw oysters often. We love them. We also prefer our meat & fish raw or close to it.

Just threw up a little bit

So, you're saying you never want to be invited to our house for dinner?

I love seafood but with three degrees in food science (i.e., multiple courses in food microbiology) I could never bring myself to eat raw seafood, until about 5 years ago. A friend who is admired for his food-sense told me about cold, briney oysters with equally cold gin or vodka to go with as being an ultimate experience. One day, I finally followed his advice and there's been no turning back (although I forego the shots these days)! I've never had sushi but that's because I don't like the layer of seaweed that most is wrapped in. However, last fall I bit the bullet and has sashimi at Morimoto in Disney Springs and man, did I enjoy that! [and TBH, I am not why the thought of raw seafood was so off-putting... I eat bites of raw hamburg, always have, ever since I was little, so...]

Dinner last night? We went out. Going out to eat has become more prevalent since DD/SIL/LittleGuy moved to their own home. I have no kitchen responsibilities to anyone other than DH and myself, so it makes it easy to blow off cooking, especially when it's late and we are tired. However... it needs to stop as it gets expensive quickly. I need to get back to cooking two "mains" on the weekend for us to use as quick suppers during the week!

Last night it was 6:35 when we left work, it was too late to make what I'd planned, and I just couldn't face up to figuring out what to have and prepping dinner, and then cleaning the kitchen (even though DH usually does the scut work, I just help by putting away leftovers, etc). We went to a local restaurant that is celebrating June (the month they were founded, they do this every year). On Mondays in June, they serve their burger (pretty good sized) and fries for $5.66. Upgrade to onion rings for $1.50 (which I did), add a shake for $4 (DH's choice). It was reasonably good (they cook their burgers more than I like... only med well or well done) but it was tasty, easy, and not too expensive.

TOnight? I have pre-made angus meatballs from Trader Joe's. I'll cook them all (last sale date is tomorrow); half will become either swedish meatballs or the other half will probably morph into meatball subs. That takes care of tonight (WFH on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I can cook) and tomorrow (when I have to go into work all day)!

You can find all kinds of sushi rolls that don't have seaweed. You can also request that they leave out the seaweed on sushi. You should give it a try. You'll wonder what took you so long. I could eat sushi rolls every day.

I also love raw oysters and little necks too!!!
Whenever we had a clamboil as a kid my dad always had raw little necks with cocktail sauce.

Fish & Chips for DH. Spicy Ahi Tuna Salad for me.

 

[WorldWacky]

I had a pork tenderloin but wanted something different from our usual marinated and grilled hunk of meat. So I sliced it up and made a pork and broccoli stir fry served over white rice.

Taco Tuesday!

 

[LoveDaisy]

Sesame noodles (DH had leftover chicken with his) and salad. Only two more dinners to figure out before vacation! I’m so excited to not cook for a week.

DH had one of the burgers from last night. I had chicken strips and we made fries to go with.
