:haha: shrimp. That's another food I get to eat 'out'
We had crawfish etouffee at my sister's house tonight only I didn't take a photo of it. Believe it or not, we found a really reasonably priced source for crawfish tails out here. Needless to say, it was excellent! :2thumbs:Quote:

:slobber: grilled cob....nomnomnomnom! I had tacos tonight...not really picture worthy :popcorn:
I had family reunion food. I am looking forward to any food tomorrow.
Tonight's fare: grilled potatoes and kielbasa. Not pictured: beer.
This is what we had for dinner last night. Only thing not pictured was corn on the cob. Yummy cajun burgers, macaroni salad, potato skins, kabobs, grilled pineapple, and patriotic cupcakes (made from scratch!). Great 4th party. My cocktails ended up looking purple instead of red and blue but they still tasted good. :lol8:
:eek2: nice spread Chere'!
Today we had potroast and fireroasted veggie salad with vinaigrette(YUM)
I made a butterrum bundt cake with cream cheese frosting but I havent been in a picture taking state (sorry)
Tonight it's steak sandwiches and salad, with a rum and cola on the side.
Wow.. I love food..
I feel hungry now..!
Thanks to this thread..
You should share some Indian food Cadman. Love the stuff.
This is how real bread looks like :2thumbs:

Couldn't wait for dinner or time to take a pic of it so I did brunch today after my workout:
2 egg omlette w/ a tbsp of heavy cream
chopped turkey
extra sharp cheddar
roasted pepper olives - chopped
salt to taste
prepare omlette
sprinkle with cheese
pour homeade chili verde over it. Home grown roasted poblanos in the chili. DAMN good. Warm peppers....ok. HOT, but hard to resist!
My birthday dinner :haha:

Might be my number one reason why I love this country - juicy, melt in your mouth, steak :roflol:
Hot and Juicy Crawfish in Las Vegas last night, went with the medium, it was pretty hot...

Spam 'n eggs. I have got to try that. Soon.
One of my favs is hard boiled eggs, pickles, and spam(straight out of the can). Run them all through a salad shooter into a big bowl add a bit of mayonaise and mix. Put it between two slices of bread. Yummmmy!
I still need to try thisQuote:

Made a mini-quiche. Onions, garlic, fresh basil. Tasty.

We had homemade pizza tonight. It was gone before I could get the camera. It was THAT good. sorry. ;-)
Damn you. :haha:Quote:

I did some tomatillo, roasted garlic and carmelized onions for a topping that was pretty great though.Quote:

My fave pizza consists of caramelized onions, a mix of mozza and chevre, and pine nuts. The roasted garlic would be a good addition to that, for sure...
We just finished installing our very first ever vegetable garden in our new yard (we moved last summer). Just 2 raised beds right now, 4' x 10' each. Two more beds to come, either next year or the following one. I installed irrigation (drip lines, valves, timer) for both, with plumbing for the next two as well. Today we planted a bunch of stuff - ranging from carrots and radishes, to onions, leeks, garlic, etc. Already wishing we had twice the room. Hell, we'd do one entire bed in leeks, probably...
Here are a couple shots of the beds - one in progress, one completed. The trellises aren't in place yet - there will be one at the north end of each bed - the end closest to the house, for tomatoes on one, and cucumbers on the other. Still a few empty spots with seeds planted, and a couple spots for the last few plants...
We look forward to cooking with our own "crops" - a new thing for both of us!
I cheat. Go to your local grocery store and ask for the french bread dough that they use to make fresh baked french bread. They will sell it to you unbaked. It makes good pizza dough. I can make it from scratch but I don't have the time and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.Quote:

Kev's garden looks great! I've got to build a deer-proof fence and get serious about gardening. I've tried things on my deck and they'll even come up on the deck to eat stuff.
Tonight's dinner: Spaghetti Carbonara. The secret is good pancetta, the more the merrier, and to separate the whites/yolks. You add the whites to the cooked pasta first and toss it in the pan under low heat. The whites cook and make little white specks all over the pasta. Then the add the yolk and just toss to let it coat all the pasta. Aaron has a friend over and the four of us devoured all of it!
Ok, so heres what I got. One plate is my steak, medum rare with garlic and parmesian cheese one top. There is some mashed potatos on there and then some fried potatos with a lemon sauce. First time we tried that. Wasn't great. The other plate is the same minus the steak. (The girlfriend is vegitarian...kinda) She has a piece of hailibut that we covered in oil, salt, pepper, and garlic. First time I've grilled fish outside of tin foil. Not a bad first tryAttachment 33693.Attachment 33692
Wow, I want Don's Killian and Dave's steak.
My favorite dinner is instant mashed potatoes at 12,000 feet. Or coffee from freshly ground beans after a day of backpacking. Or instant oatmeal when camping in snow. Or...sheesh, just about anything that doesn't come out of my kitchen. :mrgreen:
Attachment 33697Havent been able to get on here much lately but I DID manage to cook dinner for my wife this Mothers Day.
Kiawe Hawaiian BBQ chicken with quinoa cooked in chicken broth and broccoli n cauliflower steamed with italian herbs and basil. yumyumyum!
OK. So my family and I go to my Mother-in-laws for Mother's day dinner. My sister in law kindly volunteers to bring all the fixings for mexican food. You know, the fresh corn tortillas, carne asada...etc. She apparently bought it at an authentic mexican market. We are lined up and my oldest daughter (15) who is directly in front of me looks in the pot and quietly says "Dad, what kind of meat is that?" We were told that it was beef, problem is, it wasn't the normal beef my kids or wife are used to. I said, "you may want to try the pork." She of course didn't have the faith in me to just quietly eat the pork, so she askes, "Why?" I whisper to her that it is cow tongue that she is seeing and those little white bumpy things are tastebuds. Then the wretching begins. Then my 13 year old daughter hears my oldest making a scene and she askes what is up. She was in line also in front of me. My oldest tells her and child number 2 starts to wretch..... No one lost it but they came close. I had three tacos.... :lol8: I tried my best to make them be quite so as not to offend anyone, but that was mostly useless. My sister-in-law apparently had no idea what she bought. It just tasted good when she ate a sample. Of course, after discovering what it was, a couple of brother-in-laws had to tell of other weird/disgusting things they have eaten. My wife then starts to get sick..... Most entertaining Mother's day meal yet.:haha:
Cow tongue = yum. :haha:
Agnolotti (similar to ravioli), stuffed with portobello and crimini mushrooms (I should have gotten a picture of the inside but they're gone now), topped with marinated mozzarela and capers. Served with a tomato, olive, artichoke heart and mozzarela salad and a Wasatch summer ale. Yum.

Also, I don't have much space so it's all container gardening and I ran out of light so no pictures but I did some planting this evening! Heirloom tomatoes (thanks Cody) and some herbs. I plan to get some peppers too.
Wow! Nice presentation! :hail2thechief:Quote:
