I think maybe a pesto sauce with penne, tonight.

I just checked my 3 basil pots on the decking outside & the plants are humungous! Shocked They must really like the heat & humidity, I've never seen basil plants so lush. (Unlike my parsley & chive plants, which have been quite disappointing this summer.)

Tonight, a lobster reuben from Keys Fisheries, in Marathon. (Not for the faint of heart but, oh, so good.) Sliced lobster tail, swiss cheese, sauerkraut and thousand island dressing between two slices of pan-fried rye bread. It's their signature dish and I have to have one - just one - every year.

Jambalaya from a box. It's Fat Tuesday and I'm on a tight budget.

Last night was a version of Sloppy Joe's. Set's still mainly on soup, so this was a bit of a test. Probably back to soup tonight for him.

Pancakes tonight after class.

Last night- a gigantic Italian sub from a local Italian delicatessan. YUM. Followed by GS Cookies- Samoas. And then some Cadbury Mini Eggs. I forgot today was Fat Tuesday- I guess I celebrated early Smile

So needless to say, dinner tonight will be nowhere near as exciting- salad? Soup perhaps?

It isn't often I even think twice about taking a second brownie, but that's
what happened last night. The Lovely Bride made Triple Chocolate
Brownies from a Food Network recipe. I think I gained five pounds just
sniffing. But sooooooooooooooo good.

Well, we didn't eat pancakes -- threw together a vegetable soup from the many leftovers in the fridge -- but I did wear a Phat Farm t-shirt in honour of the occasion Cool

The lobster reuben was soooo good, I might just have to break my rule and have another before we head back home ...

Tonight I made the pesto sauce I was planning on making yesterday. (Too hot & sticky to trouble.) I made a huge jug of the stuff, some for eating with pasta tonight, some for freezing. Yum, I gotta say, just-made pesto is wonderful. The person who first invented the stuff was a genuis! Very Happy

Mac, I honestly cannot imagine what lobster reuben would actually taste like. It seems such an unlikely combination of ingredients! Surprised
But because you are a woman of such impeccable taste, I'll take your word for it. :wink:

Unlikely it is, msolga. Very Happy That's part of the fun. Plus the stone crab, conch fritters, grouper sandwiches and, of course, the Key West pink shrimp bought right off the docks.


Indeed they do ship, djjd62, via FedEx priority overnight ...

I invited mother, aunt and Mrs Walter today ... in a restaurant. (No cooking today for me Laughing )

Had a really nice piece of halibut in a leek-sweet mustard-cream sauce (with mixed sald and dill potatoes) and a crème brûlée afterwards.
Very nice - as well for Ash-Wednesday as for the occasion.

Ooooh, that halibut sounds good, I like halibut a lot, and how it was served sounds just right.

Actually, every thing mentioned recently sounds good, I'm hungry.

Last night I tried one of those sauce mixes I got from the asian market a while back. So, I had sliced bottom round/beef in a pasada curry sauce, the mix of spices with some oil, ginger, garlic and chopped scallions added. VERY good, though I didn't really follow the directions. These mixes call for adding so much more oil than I'd even consider using.

OK. I'm about to make my very first baked risotto - with chicken, peas. lemon juice, mint & various other goodies. I have my doubts about whether it will be quite the same as an "ordinary" risotto. But I'm about to find out!

Last night we had an Austrian feast at a little family restaurant near Klagenfurt. I had roast lamb that was so tender you could cut it with a fork. On the side some kind of polenta that was spiced and browned aand then rolled and a tomato-red pepper compote. We also had a local wine called Zweigeld (not sure about the spelling.) It was wonderful!
