What's for Dinner?

[Tnuscan]

UHHH... CEEATON... What is the theme of this website??? (LOL)

That is going to be me from now on (that is if I ever decide to do a big dinner again).

@JohnT , go ahead and do a big dinner and pour Welch's for all those that didn't show. And the niece gets a larger glass.

This way you still get through the Pearly Gates.

Very good. Smoked paprika is key. Served with a draft Porter.

Feast at my friend's Italian restaurant , antipasto, big burger and chicken wings.
Washed with my Passport Sauvignon Blanc Muscat wine.

Dang! @geek and @ceeaton are eating well tonight.

I did a seared pork tenderloin wrapped in prosciutto; served with white beans, pancetta, escarole, tomatoes and orzo. OK, we went to Brio - but it was good!

Started with a Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio, then moved on to a Sketchbook Pinot Noir with the tenderloin.

Pizza night! First, I made deep-fried artichoke hearts with Parmigiano-Reggiano and truffle oil. For the pie, I tried something a little different. I made a crust much thinner than usual (about 1/2 as thick), and I made a white pizza instead of tomato. Mozz, Monterey Jack, ricotta, and a little blue cheese. Topped with fried mushrooms, fried onions, sauteed garlic, olive oil, and seasonings. Cooked up to crisp in a 500 deg oven. Quite lovely! Washed down with a Selection International Argentinian Malbec.

Not a white pizza fan, but yours sounds great. And I especially like a thin, crispy crust.

Buffalo cauliflower bites. Super tasty.

What's for Breakfast!

We stumbled onto Costco Kirkland (real) Bacon Crumbles over the Holiday's and have been having so much fun finding uses for them. This is made from the same bacon that Consumer Reports just labeled their highest rated (for taste) and a best buy as well. Large bag that has a zip lock closure and will stay fresh in the fridge for months is only $10.99. I have used them in Grits, Pizza, Eggs, Hamburgers (with blue cheese) and todays was Belgian Waffles with bacon crumbles!

My wife stumbled across those wonderful bacon crumbles last year about this time. We love them. They are so much better tasting than traditional bacon bits. We put them on just about everything also.

Speaking of bacon: I just finished slicing up the belly I smoked on Sunday. Vac sealed up a few bags - a larger one for an upcoming ski trip.

Have made those a couple times and they are indeed amazing!

Buffalo cauliflower bites. Super tasty.

Those cauliflower really look like chicken..!!

The older kids are away this weekend. So the younger two got to pick their dinner. Fried tilapia for the boys and fried chicken fingers for the girls. I served mine on a bun with an impromptu batch of homemade tartar sauce and some swiss chard with onion, shallot, smoked paprika, bacon and chardonnay.

Homemade chicken soup on a chilly western PA day, sorry no pics, it didn't last long!

Boys both wanted to invite friends over for dinner and a movie. We ordered pizza and are watching 'The Secret Life of Pets'. Laughing though, as my youngest invited a girl.

 

[CheerfulHeart]

Steak and mushroom pie, numerous cups of strong hot tea and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Total contentment. Sigh.

Curried chicken. There is rice hiding under there lol but because I put potatoes in my curry, I don't have much rice

 

[sour_grapes]

5-hour braised chuck roast (i.e., pot roast), with onions, 'shrooms, and carrots. Going to serve over egg noodles, with a side of braised green kale (coriander, fennel, smoked paprika).

Had some Avocados that I didn't want to go to waste since they will soon be going to $2 a pop so I decided to do Fajita's on the grill, both beef and chicken. Ho-made Guac and it all was washed down nicely with.....

Gnocchi with garlic tomato sauce. Yum.
