What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[leebee]

In an unexpected turn of events, I got up yesterday with achilles tendonitis and can barely walk without pain. Therefore, last night's supper was ham and cheese sandwiches and salad. Not sure about tonight. The less time I am on my foot, the better... and the Little Guy will be here all day and overnight.

Still in “the bubble” so the closest I’m to cooking is combining granola/yogurt or eating a croissant for breakfast and our early evening cocktail + apps. Thankful for our room fridge!
Glad I opted to stay at Boardwalk again. The accessibility of most parks and peacefulness of staying garden side just does it for me.


Well, the Disney slowdown is my pocketbook’s good luck; been running the
AP seasonal discounts for all they are worth.

Ate at Ale and Compass for lunch one day for the second time in all the years I’ve been here. Has clam casino and a romaine salad while my companion had a sky high cheese burger. Seems I ordered the right meal for me as did she. The clams were a bit overcooked but the bacon and veggies helped mask it. Denisa really loved her burger and wished there was more pickled avocado. She had a Coke while I opted for a club soda and lime.

Another day, after cocktails and appetizers at Geo 82, we ohhed and ahhed over the fireworks and then walked over to Cake Bake for dinner. We shared an arugula salad (it was huge and we left with some as takeout) and then each went our own way: a chicken salad sandwich on Pullman bread for her and chicken gumbo for me. The gumbo impressed me; very nicely seasoned. Couldn’t help but split a dessert which again gave us leftovers. Had a seasonal special: lemon and blueberry cake. Lovely combo of flavors with the lemon represented by a curd filling and the berries baked in the batter. Think I’d of preferred the berries as part of the cake filling but as usual the vanilla buttercream icing “paved” the way.

The last day of the AP discount was spent at Tiffins. Denisa opted for an off menu salad to start while I had the ube cauliflower soup with fried garlic and mushrooms; could have eaten bowls of the stuff! Then came the hard choice- what entree to choose. Had made up my mind to order either of the curry offerings (fish or plant based) when we began chatting with the table next to us; the woman proclaimed Tiffins scallops superior to Flying Fish so I couldn’t resist ordering the surf and turf. The beef tenderloin was perfectly tender with a lovely cola demi glaze and the vegetable medley on point. The scallops were delicious but sorry, FF, puts a better sear on them to my way of thinking.
Wished I’d ordered the crème brûlée for the end: Denisa’s choice was wonderfully balanced. I had the sorbet medley whic should have been an easy win but was not. Someone was trying too hard in the kitchen and produced a mad scientist experiment. Still, a memorable meal.

Here’s a pic of my much loved appetizer: great taste and texture, odd colour

I don't usually have buttermilk on hand so i just add a tablespoon of vinegar to regular milk.

Smart you!

Just a heads up. Any kind of dairy with tang will do: plain yogurt, sour cream, crème fraiche, quark cheese; great way to use up leftovers.

We really enjoyed Geo 82 but got an adr for before dinner.
Did you have dinner at CB AFTER the fireworks!??
And did you pay the extra for fireworks viewing?

I love cauliflower but it would be hard to get past the color of that soup. Haha

Tonight is salad night.......Antipasto salad with salami, red onion, Pepperocini, mozzarella.

Side note....I never buy buttermilk. When I need it I do the vinegar in milk thing and it works perfectly,,,,,,been doing that for decades.

Last night's dinner was phenomenal! Perfectly grilled (medium rare) filet mignon and Maine lobster meat with warm butter, steamed white rice and cut green beans

Tonight, I'll grill some butcher shop Delmonico/Rib Eye steaks, pan steamed French green beans with chopped garlic and vegetarian soy sauce (far less sodium). Add steamed rice for our son.

Friday we'll eat out. We were invited to the New England Patriots preseason game at Gillette Stadium. Our tickets are in a company sponsored suite that includes food and drinks. If you've never experienced a sporting event in a luxury suite with ALL the fixins, DO IT!! Their typical spread includes sirloin tips, various starches, sushi, various chicken options, apps, desserts and of course beer/wine/liquor/mixed drinks/soda/water

Saturday will be another dinner out. We're doing a movie and dinner with some friends.

Fun dinner last night - we went out with some neighbors of ours up here at our lake house. Went across the bay on the neighbors' boat to a downtown area where we could dock the boat, walk into town and grab dinner. We went to a very nice wine bar with a great menu - I got the Frutti de Mare (with scallops, shrimp and calamari over squid ink pasta). Afterwards, we all went to a rooftop bar overlooking the bay and had a nightcap before heading back home. There's something really cool about being able to hop on a boat and go to dinner.

Your meals sound delicious. We were invited to a NASCAR race in Loudon in a corporate suite one time a few years ago. It's amazing! Have a great time at the game. My sons are going to be there too (but in the cheap seats, lol).

We were in box seats New Year’s Eve 2 years ago for the Bruins. So fun! We also saw the Providence Bruins ( farm team) in corporate box seats but not as fun.
My DH has Patriots season tickets but isn’t going tomorrow.
Have fun at the game!

Sounds yummy!

It wasn't. I don't recommend trying the SE Grocers brand. Together we forced down about 5 bites. The rest went down the garbage disposal.
