What's for dinner?

thesecretagent

Barbeque tonight with this rare sunny weather (for England at least). Baby back pork ribs with honey and whiskey glaze, homemade beef burgers with stilton cheese in the middle, pork and sage sausages, hot and spicy chicken wings, middle-rib of beef steaks, lamb kebabs with cumin and chilli dip. Oh and some salad for the ladies...

Pendragon

made a boiled beet salad with red onions, and my vinaigrette on a bed of spinach last night. yum.

thesecretagent

Meatballs in an olive, basil and tomato sauce. Linguini pasta tossed in pesto.

Barbel

With The Bride over in Berlin at the moment (did I mention that Barbel's Daughter is expecting a baby? Due in December!) my mother has decided that a man alone can't look after himself in the kitchen and invited me for dinner twice this week. Tonight the menu was corn on the cob smothered in melting butter, followed by chicken in a mustard sauce with roast potatoes, finishing with smoked cheese and oatcakes. Mmmmm...

Pendragon

free food cooked by mom is always good...case in point, my mother is making me BBQ'd tofu with baby broccoli from the garden. I love being at my parent's house for the weekend :x

This thread will soon be called "thesecretagent & pendragon's food diary", one carnivore and one veggie posting daily. )

Tonight was chicken kiev, straw fries and coleslaw. A little too much wine went with it rather well...

Pendragon

HA! I do eat meat...just not often :P

case in point, I had some sausage yesterday (made with hot sauce) and some Italian fryer pepper. Thinking about making it again tonight

thesecretagent

Recreated a delicious meal I once had in Austin, Texas. Barbequed sirloin steak with chilli and cumin baked beans, fried potatoes and onions and a couple of cold Coors beers. I don't remember the beer tasting so sh*t though...

^ uhm...yum.

In England bacon sandwiches are usually made up of soft white bread, loads of butter, plenty of bacon and either ketchup or HP sauce. Never went for the toasted bread, lettuce and tomato myself...

Hmmmmm, never thought about just a cheese and bacon sandwich. Maybe make it a grilled three cheese sandwich with lots of crumbled bacon? Now, which three cheeses go good together.

uhhhh...cheddar, medium sharp cheddar and extra sharp? or something mixed with bleu cheese?

Pasta from the pasta bar at the University Center as I was waaaaaaaay too tired and grumpy to cook after my three hour class this evening. Penne with pesto sauce, artichoke hearts and tomatoes. yum.

Mr Martini

^Not a fan of Bleu Cheese. I can tolerate Sharp Cheddar. I'm thinking a Mild Cheddar and two other Mild Cheeses. I'll have to do my research and post here.

looking forward to hearing your findings!

Mr_Ice

The wife and the little guy have gone off to see the in-laws for the weekend, so it's range time for me with he Hi-power, then some smoked salmon and horse radish, then a thick New York strip and a lobster tail on the grill.
Some red wine reduction for the steak maybe, or just pour the garlic butter for the lobster over the steak (oh yes I will...). Maybe some mashed potatoes so I can say I had a vegetable.

Watch FRWL while I clean the pistol. All in all a fine Bondish Saturday.

Hope everyone is well.

Pendragon

roasted chicken and wilted kale :x

Loeffelholz

Barbeque chicken (hickory smoked), with an unbelievable pasta salad and fresh buttered peas...wow

Pendragon

Well, today I made Grilled Cheese with bacon. Better than I thought, but could of probably been even better. I used Swiss Cheese and American Cheese, Applewood Smoked Bacon on Potato Bread. It was good, but some bites all I could taste was the bacon. I used one slice of bacon per sandwich (yes, theres leftovers.) Maybe next time I'll use two slices of each cheese, maybe a different bread or different bacon.
