RhaenysBee Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 French onion soup because I accidentally ordered 3 times 500g of onions rather than 3 times a piece of onion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Had small left over wild mushroom raviolis. Baked a butternut squash. A large yellow onion, minced. A handful of sliced baby bellos. A small, chopped zucchini. Two mushroom and swiss cheese sausages, sliced. Sautéed in two tbls. of butter, with a third cup of nice Alasce wine. When these were cooked, whisked the baked squash into the above mixture, with chicken stock and lots of ground black pepper, and a bit more wine. When heated again, added the spinach and the left over raviolis. Nice bread with good Spanish dipping olive oil. More wine, to drink! Outside the wind is gusting to a hard, frosty 30 MPH, while the temps are just about 38° at the moment. I'm home for the night, but Partner must go out to our friend's theater production of a restored Yiddish play, which he did. This meal is a good rib sticker for a winter evening. Worked for us. We're quite seasonally merry. Or, merely the effect of the wine? Larry of the Lawn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Ordered extra hot on my tacos. I'm crying. Literally the top of my head is on fire. They're good, but I made a bad choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durckad Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Since it's still soup season, I made this on Sunday for the whole week. It's pretty good. I did add fresh spinach, a can of green beans, and a can of fire roasted tomatoes, but I would also recommend doubling the garlic (if you're a garlic fiend like me) and being liberal with the pepper. Also maybe next time I might add some rice or orzo to round it out a bit. I didn't this time but a couple of slices of sourdough bread on the side is a pretty good substitute. As it is it's a pretty good recipe and very quick and easy to both cook and prepare. Sw33t Summ3r Ch1ld 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireWolfSpirit Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Freezer and fridge is stocked up w/ seafood and fish, lots of Lent specials, but didn't feel like cooking. Made do with some sliced turkey sammies and Coke Zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tears of Lys Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) Went out to eat last night with a friend. The premise of this place is that you order your steak or whatever protein you want, and they bring it out to you raw with a 750 degree stone on which to cook it yourself. They include various sauces and herbed butter. I didn't want to cook my own dinner so I ordered the salmon. Big mistake. Never order fish in a steak house. ETA: Ordered it rare and of course it came dry and overcooked. Did something I NEVER do and sent it back. Told them to just wave it over the grill. STILL overcooked.

Something about these gimmicky restaurants/cook-your-own really doesn't appeal to me. Not so much the hotpot/korean barbecue stuff, but steak? I'm a pescetarian but it seems weird to ask you to cook your own steak at a steakhouse. For why am I here, if I wanted to cook steak badly myself I could do so cheaper at home. Made a very simple meal of cod with new potatoes in parsley butter and a "sort of" salsa (I.e. I had peppers, tomatoes and red onions that needed using so just chopped them up and threw them together with some chilli and lime) Edited February 19 by HexMachina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have sworn I responded to this post. I can’t believe a steakhouse would have the nerve to tell their clients to cook their own steak. I expect to be served a meal when I go to a steakhouse, not a hot plate and do-it-yourself instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tears of Lys Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) that was my feeling too. And to add insult to injury, it was tough. ETA: On second thought, it would have been much better if I had ordered my salmon raw and cooked it myself.

Durckad Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 There is a steakhouse somewhat near where I live (about an hour or so away) that is pretty famous amongst locals and, the gimmick there is that you pick out your steak and cook it yourself on the big communal grill in the center of the dining room. I was, frankly, unimpressed the one time I went there. The meat was good, to be honest, but if I'm dropping $30 or $40 for a steak, they can cook it for me.

Fragile Bird Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 I have dinner with friends almost every Sunday night, and I usually bring the salad (and a bottle of wine, and sometimes a cake I bake, and often I bake the birthday cakes). The Great British Baking show has been in reruns on tv here, and in a bread episode contestants made focaccia, add ingredients on top please! One of the ladies had been on holiday on an island in the Mediterranean, Crete or Cyprus or some such place, and had been served bread with roasted red grapes, fennel and feta. I thought that sounded like it would be tasty in a salad and did that a couple of weeks ago, to great success. We talked about other cheeses and we decided it would be nice with a blue cheese too, so my Sunday salad will have the roasted, seedless, red grapes, slivers of fennel and a nice, crumbled, Danish blue.
