What's for Dinner?

I want some homemade potato and ham soup, but it was 80 here yesterday, not soup weather...i wish it would get cold.

well tonight its oven baked garlic ribs, and turnip and greens flavored with broth from boiling the rib trimmings with onions.
home made bisquits with strawberry butter....

Good old American Cheese burgers ran through the garden, Baked beans and three cheese mac and cheese. Some times you just gotta have a cheese burger

Alicante is a beautiful small city on the Mediterranean coast. I had a great visit to the university there with jamon iberico and local rice (similar to paella) for lunch. After my siesta I walked around near the beach and then climbed up to the ancient castle to view the sunset. Then it was time for Tapas and Wine.

Greg that all looks excellent, making me hungry.

Very nice indeed!

Greg, that looks extremely appetizing! Take me with you next time!

Making beef stew for dinner this evening. Its been slow cooking in a dutch oven since 8:00 this am. Tastes yummy already.

Well of course!
I would say it always tastes better when someone else cooks it, but that isn't necessarily true. Lots of good cooks can mess up seafood. Usually by overcooking.

I remember fishing in shorts Christmas day where your at are you kidding?

cold in november here is like in the 60s during the day, and 50s at night.
december its a little cooler, and jan its a little cooler.
I have seen it snow once, in 15 years and only 2 time has it got to 32 degrees...I hardly use a heater.

Tonight was braised lamb shoulder chop, braised with onion, mushroom, and oil-cured olives. Served with roasted beets, squash, and potato. Yum.

Oh, while I am at it, let me tell you about last night's dinner. We decided to go out to a new place, a soi-disant gastropub. Their menu included both small plates and large, expensive items (jeez, a $50 veal chop?). In addition to some oysters for an appetizer, and a side of romanesco broccoli gratin, I ordered the small plate of Korean short rib (aka Kal Bi), served on a bed of kimchi. It was truly delicious, but it was, well, small. So, when the waiter came around to ask if we wanted desert, I ordered one of the special plates -- namely, a somewhat fancy double cheeseburger! (I often order another real food item for desert -- I just don't have a sweet tooth but I can tuck away plenty of groceries!)

Stone Crabs

Dont think I need to say more...

I love stone crabs, and those look excellent.
