Dinner tonight - or last night.

I had pizza last night for dinner, with some salad and beer. I had pizza for breakfast with coffee and I had pizza and salad for dinner tonight. Ah, the perks of moving.

Went out with Mrs. Walter to a very small restaurant across the street.

We were the only customers at that time (last pre-World Cup match of the German team on tv), so we had two chefs and one waitress just for our own.

Had some really nice bruschetta and then some fish (Mrs W tuna, I got sole and wolffish) with thyme potatoes and some vegetables/salad.

No desert (they'd made a ginger pudding and we both don't like ginger), just coffee with some Italian cookies ...

I ate at home. Was too tired to go out.

so...what did you have?

We had salmon croquettes, leftover spanish rice, corn and leftover roasted veggies (for hubby) and fresh tomatoes and cucumbers for me.

Last night: crumbed, deep fried sardines & a rocket salad at friendly little cafe I haven't been to for years. Followed by some disgustingly decadent dessert: a yummy custardy filled choux pastry creation with a good, strong coffee at Brunetti's in Carlton (little Italy in Melbourne). Ah, that was good!

<sigh> Why didn't I get around Oz more when I was there?

Why not, indeed, k? You could've been dragged around endless little el cheapo ethnic eateries by my good self!

Tonight: I must do something with a big bag of mushrooms (going cheap at the market on Saturday) while they're on the right side of healthy. So, the wok again? <sigh> I have heaps of other vegetables in the fridge (spinach, broccoli, carrots, etc, etc, etc .....) I'll see what seems a good idea.
Hmmmm ... & there's tofu & lots of other possibilities ... Decisions, decisions ...

sounds like a stir fry to me msolga

Lamb roast, roast potatoe pumpkin other veggies.

Boneless, skinless, chicken thighs - done in the grill pan.

Setanta had his with rye toast.

I had mine with some blue cheese dressing.

Maybe some roasted asparagus later?

The dogs had homemade, clear lamb broth with freshly grated carrots over their oral care kibble. They live well.

I went to a pretty damn amazing restaurant on Friday night, called Oleana. Some lamb, tried some fish that was the best I've ever had, and it wasn't crazy expensive. Yesterday I was watching Phantom Gourmet, and they had it as his 2nd favorite restaurant of all time.

Tonight it's grilled salmon in a ginger/lime/garlic/soy/green onion marinade, grilled asparagus and fried rice with ginger/garlic/green oinio and soy. Berries with yogurt for dessert.

Well-seasoned roasted turkey parts (wings and legs) and gravy over egg noodles with green peas and tomatoes and cucumbers and wheat rolls.

Soup -

Olive oil simmering, chopped spanish onion slowly sauteed; handful of those packaged carrot things, sliced; a few stalks of celery, sliced; four cloves of garlic, sliced; some squash that looked like a pale striped zucchini, peeled and sliced... all those sauteed with the now translucent onions.

Then, two anaheim chilis, sliced and thrown in with all that. Small can of petite diced tomatoes. Can of pinto beans, drained and rinsed. Can of chicken broth. Some glasses of water. Two slices of hickory smoked bacon, cut up and fried, and tossed in pot. One dried red chili, shmushed. Some dried thyme and basil from garden tossed in. Salt and pepper. Simmer, simmer, simmer.
Then some Canaroli rice, simmer, simmer.

Good, good, that one worked out.

It does.

It was.

It was quite boring.

Fuel for the body , nothing more than fuel ...

I need a live-in gourmet chef!

Wanna job, Swimpy? :wink:
