Had some Chorizo left so made this quick and easy pasta dish (well, you're supposed to use gnocchi - but I didn't have any floury potatoes...and you need those to make proper gnocchi ) Gently fry an onion, chorizo, black olives sliced, a good splash of balsamic vinegar, then add frozen peas (you can use broad beans, which give it a much meatier texture) - sauté for 5 mins, then add 2 TBsp of crème fraiche (or sour cream) season, and cook for a few minutes. Then add either spinach or rocket (or watercress for an extra sharp pang). Stir till wilted.
Cook pasta (or gnocchi) until al dente, and add to chorizo mixture - delicious!

A two pound slice of rump steak, marinated and spiced, cooked medium-rare on the barbie. A two-foot french stick with butter. Fried onions and a bottle of ketchup. Yeah, the wife's out tonight...

Another bit of frugal culinary wizardry from Mrs. Loeffelholz---left over beef pot roast is made into mouth-watering beef and noodles...with steamed green beans on the side...and a cold beer to cleanse the day job from the mind B-)

Some people would complain even if you hang them with a new rope
how about, chicken, prawns, scollops,and bacon stir fryed with peas and onion, then add a carbonara sauce. serve with angel hair pasta and cheese. yummy.
the weird thing about this is, i had a dream about 10 yrs ago about making this and then cooked it for friends the next day
oh and for you fellow bbq ers out there, chicken drumbsticks, part boiled then marinated in sweet chilli sauce and peanut butter finish on bbq. sticky satay drumbsticks yummy.
banana suprise cooked on bbq, peel banana and make a sort ofparcel out of foil to put it in, add rum and brown sugar, seal, cook untill foil parcel inflates, serve with vanilla ice cream :x

Bride Of Barbel (who's German, and knows lots of recipes I don't) makes wonderful gnocchi; unfortunately for my waistline...
I used to work in a restaraunt with an italian chef, he used to whip up gnocchi at a moments notice - served with really creamy blue cheese sauce - bad for my waistline too )
Now my brother lives there, (has for 5 years) so reminded me of the recipe, simple as, but so good!
Just have to stay away from the blue cheese sauce!

mom made burgers grilled onions, fresh tomato, BBQ sauce and stone ground mustard topped them :x
I'm not a big fan of burgers, but they sound wonderful.

Last night, at the Route 66 Drive-In Theatre, for the screening of Night at the Museum 2 and Terminator: Salvation, the boys and I had two very excellent homemade pizzas---one of the best parts about our fantastic drive-in. One just sausage...the other sausage, bacon and pepperoni A hearty salute to those pigs who gave their lives for our nourishment... B-)

haha I'm not a big burger person either...mom's are really the only one's I'll eat anymore.
dunno what's REALLY for dinner, but I plan to finish this beet salad I made last night. Baby spinach, boiled beets, red onions, feta cheese and my own special vinaigrette dressing. Goooooood stuff Hopefully there's something alcoholic in the fridge as well. I've not had the best last couple hours, and beer sounds REALLY good right now.
My mother decided to barbecue for father's day.... She barbecued chicken, pork chops, burgers and hot dogs....

Sounds lovely! I had to work ten hours today ( X-( ), so my lovely wife is now preparing my dinner: Alaskan snow crab legs---with an unbelievable garlic butter sauce---and a twice-baked potato...

Toast with butter and jam, salt and vinega crisps, peach and a Fab ice lolly for desert. Have recently discovered i like jam so getting it lots now. Not a big tea cus we went out for lunch whilst shopping today at Bullring.
For those interested i ate it whilst sitting with me dad, watching Bread and The New Statesman. I then went for a walk for an hour, trespassing on a building site and climbing over the fences of unsold homes so i could walk in the fields behind
After about 30 minutes of searching for a Pork ribs recipe I liked I gave up and winged it.
Bring water to a boil, add salt, pepper, garlic and ribs. Boil for one hour remove from stove and let sit in the refrigerator overnight.
Heat grill, then with a soft cloth soaked with vegetable oil coat the grill to prevent sticking. Add ribs cook at about 300 degrees for 20 minutes turning often, add Bar-B-Que sauce and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
The meat was so tender and juicy it barely stayed on the bone. Best ribs I ever had!

well i had a meat feast pizza with donna kebab meat on it last night.

short update: Made today Spare ribs and bbq'ed them for 4 1/2 hours according the instructions.
The result was similar like on the previous attempts with 2 hours, but unfortunately not "falling from the bone".
Next weekend, I'll try out something, which has been told me by a german food magazine:
Fresh pineapple contents an enzyme called "Bromelain" which is a natural meat-tenderizer.
I'll cut a fresh pineapple and mousse it and marinate the ribs for some hours with the mousse. Then I'll try the 4-hours thing again.
Keep you updated
