What's for dinner?

[orangedog]

Homemade blueberries muffin with powdered sugar, homemade peanut butter cookies with fluffy white frosting and triple chocolate space cake. (Guess why we call it that LOL).

Yes, I would become diabetic if it meant I could take this down...

[itallushrt]

Tonight for me...grilled red snapper, grilled garden mix (onion, red pepper and green pepper with a habanero or two) and whatever else i find.

 

[theribdoctor]

patty melt with Caramelized onions...bucking my gourmet trend of late...

lately it's been sirloin kebabs with spinach risotto, and grilled dry rubbed chicken breast and israeli couscous salad.

 

[jwintosh]

just finished preparing a southwest potato soup!! dayum it's good!!

 

[criollo]

pot roast that has been simmering in a crock pot with Georgio's steak sauce. I'll serve it over egg noodles and with a salad. Our daughter recently visted "Apple Fest" in Bayfield ,Wisconsin and presented us with a present of surprisingly good, dry, apple wine which I'll serve with the meal.

I hit the first edition of our "Winter Market" at our local farmer's market. I picked up an acorn squash, some nice turnips. So, last night, I did a turnip mash with butter, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, and S&P. I also had some thin cut pork chops in the freezer, so I did a quick dredge in flour and quick fry. For dessert, I split the acorn squash, scooped seeds, rubbed down with butter, dusted all the surface with brown sugar and a quick drizzle of real maple syrup. Popped it in the oven to roast while we finished and ate dinner. After dinner, at it straight out of the shell. YUM!

*pics will go up, when I get home*

Wow Frank - that sounds like a pretty creative meal!

I like the dessert idea... I'd probably add in a bit of ice cream on the side being the ice cream junkie I am.

I was talking about that, to my wife, that ice cream would go well in the center. I don't know if a butter pecan, or a black walnut would take away too much from the squash flavor. Might have to just be a vanilla. And right out of the hot oven, with that scoop of ice cream in the center... Mmmmm... 'Tis that time of year to snatch up some good local acorn squash.

I was really wanting a butternut squash to make some homemade ravioli with brown butter, and sage, sauce. BUT... no one had any, just acorn. One farmer had like 4 varieties of sweet potatoes; I should have totally snatched some of those up, as well. I think they're doing a special market on Wed. for Thanksgiving shopping, so I may have to grab some local sweet 'taters!

the obvious choice in ice cream would be pumpkin........

Ok,
Couple things the mrs made this weekend that were AMAZING

Friday night
Home made gnocchi.
gnocchi was good, but she made a Stilton sauce that was INCREDIBLE!
Basically a regular bachamel(sp) sauce and at the end added some Stilton cheese!
WHOA I told her this could easily be served in a great restaurant.

Last night
Pork chops w\ some veggies.

But the pork chops were fried w\ S&P.

After they were done in the pan she fried up some onions and apples while deglazing and made a rustic onion applesauce (really chunky).
Whoa it was AMAZING!

No pics.

I'll have to disagree, Elder. That would choke the natural flavor from the squash.

 

[thebayratt]

Colossal smoked Oysters and multigrain club crackers.

 

[cartisdm]

Curry dusted chicken breasts with a side of blanched, pan seared green beans.

 

[thebayratt]

Tachos. Basically instead of using nacho chips, I put in tater tots.

 

[HafaDaiBoi]

Had some amazing short ribs over couscous at a fantastic restaurant (The Winery) in Irvine tonight. There was no need for a knife as the meat just fell off the bone!

 

[theribdoctor]

Spinach Risotto, and an herb rubbed sirloin tip roast.
