What Did You Have For Dinner Last Night?

I think so. As with most done of this sort, pre-cooking the filling is a given so as not to hand most of the cooking to the fryer and risk burning the pastry. I'll have to ask mother about more details when I get back home.

 

Fried Wontons
Chicken w/ Garlic Sauce
White Rice

 

Marinated chicken enchiladas with a salsa verde topping. Since it was the weekend, I marinated it in this concoction of chiles, vinegar, garlic, etc. for several hours.

Made the salsa verde from scratch, but it was a bitch to find tomatillos. Made fresh guacamole as well.

 

I had last nights left over pizza and it was glorious.

 

Last night ~ steak cooked with garlic and black pepper, sauteed potatos and ratatatatatooeeeee. Love courgettes.

Today as man is staying at his because he has jury duty tomorrow (how exciting is that?) I'm going to have stuffed crust pizza and tempted to go to shop of bottle of red ~ beware stupid thread starting shortly

 

Steak and twice-baked potatoes (with sour cream, chicken broth and garlic baked in on the second go-round) for me.

 

A P'Zone.

 

Tonight we had schnitzel, potatoes, veggies and a salad. And a very nice glass of white wine

 

Salad with Russian dressing
Steak sandwich with mushrooms
Onion rings

 

^ That would SO hit the spot right now!

 

Last night was meat loaf with mashed potatoes and gravy and green beans.

 

Mmmm ... gravy ... been a while since I had some good ol' gravy.

 

We had pork chops (from a local pork producer), sweet corn (from a local vegetable grower), and a salad made with cabbage (from another local grower).

I work for a farm organization, so I like to support the folks who help pay my salary. Besides...it was all sooooooooo goooooood. May as well enjoy all this wonderful stuff while it's still in season.

Edit: Although pork, of course, is always in season!

 

I'm about to have home made samosas!!! I have no idea what they will be like, but they look correct.

 

Bon appétit, as they probably don't say in India.

Me, once again on the move and with a delayed train, so took the opportunity to try another pasty from the West Cornwall Pasty shop at St. Pancras. Chicken Balti, this time - although I'm not sure if it's true Balti. Still, not too bad.

 

They're lovely. I would have posted photo for you to judge, but I'm too busy eating.

No where near as greasy as I feared. Precooked potato and pea balance is about right. I put lots of spices in but I can barely taste them. I think a lot of them found their way out in the oil. Pastry is a slightly grainy, and not as crisp as factory made ones, but is generally okay. Shape is a bit off as I wasn't sure how to make pyramids, but that doesn't really matter. Suffice to say I'm having another

 

You should meet my mother one day and exchange recipes. Glad to see they turned out well.

 

Too bad McRibs aren't always in season.

 

Last night I had London broil with Brussels sprouts.

In Canada, "London broil" is flank steak rolled with ground pork. As Wikipedia says: "The origin of the name is obscure; the food is unknown in London, England."

It sure is tasty, though.

 

I'm impressed! I've never attempted them myself.

We had meatloaf, steamed broccoli and cauliflower, and garlic mashed potatoes tonight. It was my first time making meatloaf, and I've been nervous about cooking some American foods since my mother-in-law is an amazing cook. But my husband loved dinner!
