Dinner tonight - or last night.

Here the season will be over soon- best time is August and September. This year was a marvellous year. I have dried a lot for winter.


In German Penny Buns are called Steinpilze. In Austria we call them Herrenpilze.

Had some a couple of times, but a lot more chanderelles.

Clive and I are on our own tonight.
I'm thinking burgers.

I'm thinking barbecue.

I like the way you think.

Hi ul!

Real, live, fresh Porcinis! <gasp!>
I wonder what they taste like? <looking & feeling wistful & insanely jealous at the same time. :wink: )
I have only had access to the dried, imported varieties here. Used for flavouring in mushroom dishes like rosotto. Very expensive!
Three kg! WOW! I can't imagine that! <swoon>

So tell me about the risotto! Leave no detail out!

Parent/teacher night is something schools all over the world do, ul, though they all probably have different names for it. We (the teachers) write reports about each student's progress & the parents come & collect them & talk to us. Often with their child in tow. We do it four times a year. At the end of term, when teachers are getting very tired & wobbly. Anyway, it went well. Always a useful exercise, for both sides.

Dinner was good. Freshly made lasagne & other pastas with wonderful fresh salads! Desserts wonderful:home-made (by the caterers) rich chocolate cake (vanished fast!) yummy little sponge cake thingies with fresh cream & passionfruit icing on top ... & a few other tasty things to select from. Not bad!

Two week's holiday coming up, starting today! (I'm part-time.) Will have to start looking for work for next year, though ... <sigh>

I just can't decide what to have for dinner tonight. I'm seriously thinking about going out for pizza...

I have choices of left over this and that.
Might just slice some early season apples and have some of that cheese I got from the international market a few weeks ago, that "mountain" cheese rather like parmigiano.

Hmmmmmm ....

The first day of my holiday ....

What will dinner be?

Hmmmmm ......

You deserve a treat, girl...

Oh, I know osso, I KNOW!


.... so I'll give the freezer stash a miss tonight! :wink:

Back from class and I am dead ravenous.

I've had a chicken sandwich made out of last night's roast chicken, and a little stack of yum yum pickles. I may need another sandwich, or half of one.

msolga-
thanks for the explanation. We call this event Elternsprechtag (parent talk day). I asked because we don't have a dinner with it. No food, no nothing, just business.
How to describe the flavor of fresh Porcini? You have to hop over- so you can try.


I hope you go out and have a real festive kick-off holiday dinner.

My menue for you
Corn soup
Salmon steak on leek with Sauce Hollandaise
Fresh Mango with whipped cream

when Ul came for a visit we ate at Rudi's BBQ, I think she liked it.

I loved it- and Rainer too.
Rudy's is highly recommended! Especially in the company of Lady Diane and dyslexia.

When Walter was there, he was at Rudi's as well.

He loved it, too , especially ... ... in the company of the Lady Diane. Fullstop.

Had lunch in a restaurant today ("Old Swede"), since it's mother's birthday and I really didn't feel to cook for five ladies all older than 83 (mother's 86 today).
I had lop de mer with a creamy crevette-herbs sauce, salad and potatoe pockets.

Tonight: The Moroccan Soup Kitchen. Starting with lots of dips, olives & bits of vegetables & flat bread to mop the dips up with. Followed by 3 plates with dishes I don't know the names of: a chick pea in yoghurt sauce one, various rice & lentil creations & a delicious smokey eggplant dish plus a vegetable platter. Followed by yummy little pastries & a tiny cup of very strong black coffee. That was a lot of food & my friend, A, was "not hungry". So of course I had to do the right thing! <Burp!>

pork loin chops
lotsa grilled sweet onions mmmmmmm
corn
some cauliflower and broccoli

ahhhhh

that was nice

I'm making homemade pizza margherita. Yum. gotta get some good beer methinks.
