Dinner tonight - or last night.

I can't bring myself to to describe what I just ate for dinner, after that, Dutchy. Actually, my dinner seemed pretty good ... till I read about yours.
<sob> Now I feel deprived!

Cotoletta alla milanese, with fresh mushrooms and small new potatoes.

Catfish fillets, fresh steamed broccoli, pears in light vanilla yogurt, raw baby carrots, homemade bread & butter pickles and the last of the homemade French bread.

a sliver of roasted tuscan ham with basted eggs
a cup of tea

Tonight we are having grilled trout (if enough of this snow melts so I can get to the grill, that is.) Along side will be roasted new potatoes and asparagus. For dessert, either apple crisp or brownies. I haven't decided yet. We'll have to see.

Gosh. Grilling trout in the snow, Swimpy! Pretty exciting!

My dinner was a lazy one, by comparision, I'm afraid. A doner kebab, bought from one of the local Turkish cafes, on my walk home from the shops tonight. Pretty good & no dishes to wash!

msolga you should know P/L is the fishing capital of Australia and that meal is par for the course here. Tonight it will be Tuna steak done on the BBQ with a variety of salads and Italian gelato for dessert.

tonight will be roasted baby potatoes with a mushroom cheese omelet
looking around for some other veggies to add

Where's P/L? BBQ tuna and salads and gelato? I'm soooo there.

Tonight, a little dinnerette for the recovering baby sicky...

Am baking red potatoes, thinking about roasting some yellow peppers (good price and the last ones), and quickly sauteing a thinnish pork "steak" in a little olive oil and a fair dusting of hot madras curry powder. This is probably a cultural violation, so it goes. Not to mention that a sauce would be a better idea.
Eh!

I also nabbed the last few decent blood oranges, of which I am fond.

love the new felix

Re Cotaletta alla Milanese - from about.com - (you know this, of course)

Milano was a short stop for me, a quietly fabulous hour and 40 minutes, or something like that, that included a quick ride to the duomo piazza, the galleria, and a good look at la Scala from the outside, all while hauling the duffle, followed by an espresso and una dolce before hopping on the train again. Naturlich, I want to go back.

given you base ingredients, I'd have suggested cooking the curry powder in a bit of oil (ha! I typed bitt about three times there), then adding the juice of a blood orange, then quickly cooking the pork in the resulting 'sauce'

pork/fruit/curry - a wonderful combo

You're right, I'll do it that way. (Am in my rest phase.) This will also leave me two more blood oranges. Meanwhile, zee yellow peppers are roasting peppily. Probably will be used elsewhere.

I'll add that benighted me sped through Milano to get to Ivrea, famed for the piazza orange hurling fights, me with the piazza history bug. It was approaching the end of the trip and I was tired and crabby and Ivrea seemed graffiti covered and inhospitable and I got out of there the next day with zilch exploring, unlike my usual way. Well, not zilch, but not much past checking the key piazzas. I know of course, in the light of day, that my short time there can't be taken as representative. I even have six degrees types of connections to Ivrea. What I'll remember most is not my own time there, but a photo in a bell'italia magazine of one of the piazzas totally inundated in the remnants of thrown oranges, orange pulp, and juice.

At the time, I had thought it might have been better if the LA gangs, Crips and Bloods, back in the beginnings of their formation, had used the oranges from the then plentiful orange orchards... instead of taking up arms.

ossobuco, P/L stands for Port Lincoln in South Australia. I'm spending a few weeks here with my son and family. He just caught 300 tons of Tuna and brought some home for us to try tonight.

Is that 300 tons without cans!?

I've intimated about this once before - I had a horrible vicarious tuna fishing experience, friend being hired captain for a large sports fishing yacht - but I try not to extrapolate that to tuna fishing across the wide Pacific.
Apposite to that, my uncle was a keen fisherman and I still have a fine photo. He was captain of the Hawaiian Farmer, a Matson Lines vessel for many years.. Before that, he was a harvard grad lawyer in Hollywood, worked with Selznick. Would that I could talk with him now.

Indeed margo without cans, will be in excess of 1200 tons by he time they've matured in the farms and are being exported to Japan.

Hey, where is my Cosmic Eagle gone???????

Uh oh.....
