What's for dinner?

Post by Orange »

Thought I would start this.... Maybe we'll get pics of Big Macs... But oh well. Maybe we can leave it to things that are good and different? :)

Here is my meal from this evening!

Carne Adovada Stuffed Sopapillas, smothered in my Green Chile Sauce (Made with Hatch green chile) and garnished with lettuce, tomatoes and advocado! Mexican awesome-ness :)

Wednesdays are steak and shrimp night:-) I have a buddy from high school and we go out every Wednesday night for a late dinner. We have a killer truck stop not far away that makes a homemade country fried steak that is to die for (and you are usually dead afterwards), but mostly it's steak and shrimp. The women think we are nuts for making it a ritual

Funny you should mention that. I had it for the first time in probably 25 years last week while we were on vacation. The place had a Jenn-Air. I prefer my grills at home, but it did the trick. A couple of Ribeyes we had with the rice/spaghetti. I love cooking as much (if not more) than vintage r/c and know a helluva lot more about it, which isn't necessarily saying much... :oops: :lol:

i've got that same damn cook top (jenn-aire). i sure wish we had the burner insert rather then that grill thing.

i've been on a slow cooker / crock pot kick lately.

did sausage and peppers the other night, came out awesome (no sauce variety)

Wives/GF's think anything we do is nuts!

I guess we think the same of them too. :mrgreen:

I'd actually like to have one if I remodel our kitchen. I prefer to grill outside, but this thing did a helluva job on some chicken kabobs too while we were up there. Turned out killer. They were all made to order. I had the mushrooms. :mrgreen:

My Chili team entered a Gumbo cook-off 2/22 so I figured I'd whip up a practice batch tonight. Should be better by tomorrow for the Super Bowl though. Didn't turn out too bad served over rice. That roux is a PITA! Mine should be darker I know, but the taste really spoke for itself. If anyone can happen to make it, look us up. We're booth number 8. http://franklinstreeteventsassociation.com/gumbo-cook-off/

Kinda weird, just the other night we had BBQ Chicken Tortilla Pizzas. The BBQ flavor was a bit strong. We'll need to use less next time. You guys are giving me some great ideas though. Dinners look killer. :D

When we go to the lake we make pizza on the grill with that canned rolled up pizza dough. I know its not the same as yours. They just reminded me of that.... Its better with homemade dough though which we do on occasion here at home. It taste more like brick oven pizza on the grill. Try it sometime. :)

I was really surprised how the pita bread tasted as a pizza base. We have a local Persian market that bakes up the pitas fresh every day, I grabbed a stack and will probably be making these more often. BTW, I used wheat pitas :)
