What's for Dinner?

[JohnT]

Mike,

You're killing me. Those steaks look fantastic. I have been getting my steak fix on the cheap (London broil at around $4/lb).

After seeing those, I have no choice but to pony up for a decent steak!

We have also been buying a couple of different Tri Tips in the bag from Costco that have been excellent on the grill. Cost is less than $7/lb as well.

I am a huge fan of tri tip.

Man, I'm looking forward to buying a quarter or half beef soon so I can enjoy some beautiful ribeyes! It's been waaaay too long!

Again, you are killing me with the steaks!.

Had the niece over for dinner last night (Chinese takeout), when the subject of her dinner came up.

She said that she did not want me to go through too much trouble. "How about surf and turf? You know, start with shrimp cocktail, followed by a filet mignon and lobster tail dinner. Your berry crustad with crème anglais is also nice for dessert."

Not too much trouble? Man, to see things through the eyes of a twenty year old again!

When I was just about to object, she batted her "baby blues" at me. Log story short, It is surf and turf on Saturday!

We had pancakes for supper. With Butter, brown sugar, and syrup. Can you say 'sugar high'?

Going out to dinner and a movie for our Anniversary. Going down to the plaza in Santa fe to play tourist for a bit then dinner at one our favorite restaurants in town La Boca.

Movie will more than likely be a foodie movie as well.

I've got a fresh batch of pizza dough rising now, so it'll be Pie City later on!

PS: Happy Anniversary Mike and Mrs. glowin!

Update!

One of the best meals out in a long time! La Boca did not disappoint in the least. This place is small. Like maybe 20 tables small so we went early and got there in time for Happy Hour. They have special priced Tapas and Drinks from 3-5PM. Below was what we had as well some pics. Everything was great but I think the Bruschetta was the best thing I have ever put in my mouth….
We used the last bit of table bread to scrape the bowl clean. They must have used a whole clove of garlic on our meal alone. Garlic overload still this AM. LOL

SWMBO had the happy hour priced Blood Orange Sangria and I had a a glass of Old Vines Mencia (love that grape/wine) as then a glass of Monastrell. Both were awesome.


Bruschetta with crimini mushrooms, cream, and fried egg, topped with truffle oil & reggianito cheese.

Pincho de Puerco ~ marinated pork tenderloin skewer with apricot honey and sliced Manzanilla green olives.

Pincho de Pollo ~ harissa chicken skewer with avocado, cucumber, tomato salad.

Grilled artichokes~ with Spanish goat cheese, orange zest and mint.

Tacos de la Boca~ shrimp, morcilla, on corn tortillas with and Napa cabbage slaw and pimentón agri-dulce.

Flat-iron steak~ with smoked sea salt caramel, or cabrales butter.

The movie Chef was good. Good "date night" movie. Fair amount of "food porn" LOL. Happy Ending all the way around.

Big dish of oven-baked nachos: garden-fresh tomatoes, peppers, jalapenos, cilantro, onion with fresh salsa made with the same ingredients, plus a major hit of lime juice. Chicken topping the nachos simmered in tomato and taco seasoning.

Washed down with a spiced rum and coke with a movie. Kids are in bed and the evening is ours!

Linguine al Frutti di Mare!

Thin pasta, prawns, clams, mussels, fresh tomatoes, lemon, capers, red chili pepper flakes, olive oil, garlic and white wine sauce.

Perfect way to get rid of all those tomatoes in the garden!
