So what's for dinner tonight?

Sorry, Algis, I assumed you would be offended by all the cheese.

By all means join us if you like.

Setanta...no a better an more concentrate idea plus FUN...... a thing to munch your way to good health.Cabbage does not hold up to my boiled and fried wonders.That you can pop in yer mouth and over years then be able to say YUMMm !

I love Brussels sprouts!

wheres my last post here? Why no responce to me the brussel sprout queen???

sorry that last post was to get into the 1800 zone!!!!!

Dinner: spinach pizza which was once frozen and is now the best pizza I've ever tasted, and wine.

We had some soft shelled crab sammiches. For those of you unfamiliar. Its the shedder crab just now being caught in the lower chesapeake. Lightly killed and quick frozen. You deep fry them quickly and serve them like giant spiders on a kaiser roll with lotsa tartar sauce. These are eaten with Utz potato chips (ONLY) with a side of teeny cornichons or sweet gherkins.
All washed down with Stewarts Ginger Beer.

RRRUUURP!!

'Lightly killed"?

That's when they're dead, but still moving. Nerves and all that.

Oh. Why not just flash freeze them while they're alive?

Skimming this thread quickly and getting hungry, I nod at the chicken with garlic and olives. I nod at olives in general and the ones in Oakville Grocery in particular, especially the various picholines... and the green bellas, although the black bellas are tasty too..
Where was I, oh yes, donuts. I just posted a link to an early donut painting on one of the art threads. Will be back with it if I can maintain memory while I answer 229 email updates.

Giant spiders! Yum!

Cookout last night -- roasted-on-a-stick hotdogs, potato salad, fruit salad, potato chips, and toasted marshmallows for dessert. Haven't had a toasted marshmallow in forever, that was fun.

Just been to a Farmers market and bought a large piece of fillet steak, which I will have with a salad of rocket, toasted pine nuts and a little sesame oil I shant cook it until Mr S has gone out - him being one of those crackpot veggies! He's having veggie toad in the hole, which is a contradiction in tearms :wink:

i heard spiders drink from your mouth when you are asleep.If there is no other water availible.

My garlic chicken with tomatoes and olives was excellent
if I do say so myself. We left you a plate here osso

Sarah, your salad seems delicious, I love pine nuts. I think we'll
have just salads tonight too. It's too hot to eat anything else.

So we'll have mixed greens with dried cranberries, roasted pecans and some crumbled gorgonzola.

CJ, can you share the recipe for your garlic chicken?

Oh sure Swimpy.

Take chicken breasts and dip them in a mixture of
flour, fresh pressed garlic, salt and pepper and fry
the chicken on both sides until browned (with olive oil),
then transfer the chicken to an oven proof dish.

Cut large tomatoes in slices, dip them in the
flour-garlic mixture as well and fry for a short time.
Transfer the tomatoes on top of the chicken,
add the olives (I use a lot) and sprinkle
with Feta cheese and cook slowly in the oven for
30 min. or until the chicken is cooked thoroughly.

We serve italian bread along with it.

Instead of chicken, I also use lamb on occasion.

Edit: In additon to the tomatoes, I sometimes use eggplants too.

Yum -- I've copied that recipe, too.

Thanks Jane! (& Swimpy for asking)

We're going to a BBQ tonight. I don't have to cook.

Remember for the best tasting ribs boil them first and remove the sinue.

Well, I used to say that but ever since we got this wood fired (looks kinda like a black oil tank) thingy with the little oil tnk on the side, an its own chimley. We like cookin ribs the slow way

Oh, for the taste of swine.
grease dripping
chin swhined by sauce
nooks and crannies of flavor
teeth tearing at flesh
cavemen grunting
we eat.
