Members aeon Posted October 23, 2005 Members Share Posted October 23, 2005 Thai green curry in coconut milk with bamboo shoots, thai basil, onion, peas, tofu, and red chili oil, all mixed in a bowl with some rice, then some fishcakes with a spicy lemongrass batter and a dipping sauce of red cider vinegar, honey, cucumber, and ground peanut, and to drink, 750ml of Duvel Belgian ale. Yes, life *is* good. I hope your dinner is good to you, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tedster Posted October 23, 2005 Members Share Posted October 23, 2005 Curry! Yummmm!!! It's rainy and cold in Kansas City...so I cooked up a big pot of my special chili. That did the trick for me. Along with some brandy, 'cuz I've got a sore throat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bbach Posted October 23, 2005 Members Share Posted October 23, 2005 I had frozen pizza. We pretty much finished off all the leftovers from the turkey I cooked up a last Sunday. Coffee breakfast, Taco Johns for lunch, frozen pizza for dinner. Yup. I ate well today. I wonder if my blood is still flowing or if it has stopped up entirely and I just don't know it yet.

Members UstadKhanAli Posted October 23, 2005 Members Share Posted October 23, 2005 Ian, that sounds like one of my favorite meals! So this is a bit atypical for me. But it sure is good. Last night, we had an Oktoberfest party in my backyard. Sausages. They have specific German names, but I can't remember what they are. And beer. Franziskaner was my favorite. But I also had Kostritzer Oktoberfest, Paulaner Original Munich, Spaten Oktoberfest, Spaten, and then I don't really remember so well after that... And someone made homemade pretzels. Very good. And sauerkraut. And streudel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John Sayers Posted October 23, 2005 Members Share Posted October 23, 2005 last night I had a leg of lamb that had been boned, opened out flat, studded with rosemary and impregnated with slivers of garlic. Slow roasted for three hours and served with roasted potatoes and pumpkin - (yes we roast or mash pumpkin as a vegetable in aussieland - rarely use it in pies.) and minted peas and gravy made from pan drippings. served with a Margaret River dry white wine. cheers john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was very good. I forgot to mention that we also had these Kaiser Rolls that were freshly made. So the next day, we made sausage sandwiches with the gourmet German mustard and the sauerkraut. So good. But today, at least for lunch, I'm back to eating burritos with tons of veggies!!! Yummmmmmmmm!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members phaeton Posted October 24, 2005 Members Share Posted October 24, 2005 I'm boring. Sorry folks. Tonight's probably going to be a whole wheat (organic no less) tortilla. I'll cover one half circle with red beans (cooked, rinsed), exactly one bean deep. Drop some shredded cheese, such as montery jack and cheddar, or maybe chihuaha cheese on top of the beans. Nuke for 30 seconds. Fold in half. Nuke for another 30 seconds. Eat. Oh yeah- take it out of the microwave first. Then eat. I might have some soup too, depending on what I can scare up. blackpig: I'll loan you a couple:,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.......................................................................................

Members phaeton Posted October 24, 2005 Members Share Posted October 24, 2005 BTW- I have no name for this tortilla/beans/cheese thing. It's not really a burrito (because it's folded like a taco), and it's not really a quesadilla. I'm open for suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bongfodder Posted October 24, 2005 Members Share Posted October 24, 2005 For those that have never had it I want to say the gravlax was the best thing I have ever tasted. If you come across a nice fillet of salmon I recomend it,simple salt,sugar cure seasoned with dill.It is god's food,I can't describe the texture without getting xxx. The curry sounds good ,may do an Indian chicken curry tomorow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aeon Posted October 25, 2005 Author Members Share Posted October 25, 2005 The day after the curry I had a rare and juicy ribeye, haricot vert, and au gratin potatoes (made with some unknown but subtly delicious cheese) for dinner, alongside a mix of Belgian ales (including a Westvleteren), Belgian geuze, Irish single-malt whisky and some Laphroaig. The next night's dinner was a mix of tabouleh, baba ganoush, dill and garlic hummouses, flatbread, lentil soup, some aloo gobi mutter, and a slice of a lovely uttapam. Yep, life *is* good. may your dinner be an epicurean delight, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bbach Posted October 25, 2005 Members Share Posted October 25, 2005 You guys eat pretty well. We tend to scramble for whatever is quick and easy.There are some areas of my lifestyle that need work and eating right is one of them, but I don't seem to be willing to make a lifestyle change.Maybe after my first bypass surgery.

Members Jimbroni Posted October 25, 2005 Members Share Posted October 25, 2005 Some good meals there folks. I especially liked the sound of John and Aeon's recipes. Yummy. Here was mine. Garlic Mexican chicken over polenta. -Simmered chicken in cilantro and garlic and water. -Shredded said chicken.-Then poored the garlic and water from pan into a blender with Tomato sauce and chilis from my garden. Roasted another bulb of garlic and threw that in.-Added Cumin-Blended until smooth.-Put in a sauce pan with shredded chicken and cooked through. In the meantime, I made polenta ( fried corn meal). Pour the mixture over the polenta and yummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Lee Knight Posted October 26, 2005 Moderators Share Posted October 26, 2005 Last night... Salmon Steaks with Red Wine Butter Mashed Potatoes with Goat Cheese Baby Greens with Cranberries and Peppitas and a Blue Cheese Vinegarette. I read this thread at work yesterday and got real hungry. Have any of you ever gone to the Epicurious site. They have a fantastic search gui for their recipes, which by the way, includes Gormet magazine's. You can select certain ingredients before you search. Yesterday I took Salmon out of the freezer before work. I knew I had some nice wine in, so I punched them in and... PRESTO!
