Hester Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 I'm across the Nothern Border, MadL. The sun rarely gets hot enough here to cook anything -- even a jar of sun-tea.

Red-Handed Jill Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Hmmm.... I think pasta tonight, with veggies sauteed in butter, fresh herbs and garlic.
Hester Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Last night: Braised beef liver with carmelized onions in port wine gravy Baked potato Steamed broccoli Since Mr. H. was out at meeting last night, and he doesn't like liver, I made this iron-rich meal for myself. The package of liver was far more than one person could eat at a sitting, so I threw the leftover cooked liver & sauce into the food processor and made a pate', which I'm gonna have on crackers for my lunch now.
Shipwreck John Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Red lobster be cookin tonight!!!! Shipwreck Adventurer of Independent Means TALL SAILS AND MERMAIDS TAILS, THIS BE THE LIFE FOR ME "THEM THAT DIE WILL BE THE LUCKY ONES"

Red-Handed Jill Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Polenta with veggies and sun-dried tomato pesto.

Hester Posted June 2, 2008 Posted June 2, 2008 Vegetable-stuffed faggotini in Alfredo sauce with mock lobster and fresh asperagus.
Hester Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Going to a pub for dinner tonight. Hoping to talk my dinner companion into sharing a bunch of deep-fried appetizers.
Coastie04 Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Avocado, Jalepeno, Chicken and Lime soup, with some rustic artisan bread (homemade, of course). If I don't get bogged down with other housework, possibly some Creme Brule as well, though there's still some vanilla cheesecake in the fridge.

MadL Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Hester, I have seen photos o' what ye calls a 'pub', I would hate t' see what ye calls a full out 'restaurant'!!! ~All skill be in vain if an angel pisses down th' barrel o' yer flintlock! So keep yer cutlass sharp, 'n keep her close!
Hester Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Hester, I have seen photos o' what ye calls a 'pub', I would hate t' see what ye calls a full out 'restaurant'!!! The pub kicked us out, MadL! (We didn't have a reservation.) Wound up down the block at a swanky Art Deco restaurant that didn't require a reservation and had a great cocktail list (not to mention wonderful sweet potato fries!).
Ransom Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Heading for Coos Bay and our boat. Don't know what we'll be eating, I just know I won't be cooking it! Maybe the Pub down at the marina, or the Italian place over by the city docks, or, the Mill Casino, all-you-can-eat Friday night buffett..... ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Red Cat Jenny Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Too hot to cook. Mex take out sounds good. With a a margarita and the air conditioning. An old movie to accompany would just make things better! Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time...
Hester Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Careful, Jenny -- I've discovered from personal experience that margaritas are fattening (especially by the blenderful)! Tonight: Wholegrain flax spaghettini with red clam sauce, zucchini, and salad.
CaptainSatan Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 I'm a cooking a Lebanese dish tonight. I don't know what it's called but it is a mixture of ground lamb, shredded chicken, rice, cinnamon, black pepper, slivered almonds, and pine nuts. Served with pita bread. As we say in Ireland let's drink until the alcohol in our system destroys our liver and kills us.
Hester Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Since it's hot and steamy out today and I don't want to put the air-conditioning on, I'm making a cold supper tonight. It will include: Store-bought potato salad (which is actually suprisingly nice) Assorted cold cuts: roast beef, smoked chicken, salami Chilled steamed asperagus in a mustard vinaigrette Mini cucumber "boats" stuffed with mock crab Assorted crudit'es with grilled artichoke dip Fresh strawberries and apricots for dessert.
CaptainSatan Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Cajun Jungle Curry: Basically it's a cross between Thai Jungle Curry and gumbo.One of my my successful fusion experiments. As we say in Ireland let's drink until the alcohol in our system destroys our liver and kills us.
Ransom Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 WAY too bloody hot to cook. 100 degrees right now, and heading to 102 tomorrow. Dinner, therefore, will be: Brushetta with olive tempanade Cold tomato and cucumber salad And possibly BBQ-grilled brunschwiger (?) tossed in fresh lemon juice. Fresh cherries for desert ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you.

BriarRose Kildare Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Hmmm, not sure, whatever I can find, tomorrow's shoppin day. Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all. The Dimension of Time is only a doorway to open. A Time Traveler I am and a Lover of Delights whatever they may be. There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.
Hester Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Frozen fish & chips. Which I significantly overcooked because I got distracted on-line while they were in the oven. Not really one of my culinary masterpieces!
Ransom Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Last night... Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, marinated in lemon olive oil and herbs, then grilled on the BBQ Baked potatoes with sour cream and home-grown chives Tomato, dark blue bell pepper, purple basil (all home grown), and cucumber, diced and tossed with olive oil and red wine vinegar. The bell pepper looks almost black, it's so dark. But it's just the skin. If you cook it, the skin turns dark green. But raw, in a salad, it looks really kewl and colorful. And the flavor is mild. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you.
