What Did You Have For Dinner Last Night? - Page 163

Coincidentally, I made my mom's (non-vegan) home made mac and cheese last night. A totally unhealthy guilty pleasure that I probably indulge in less than once a year. And it was gooooooooood.

A warm wrap with two hard-boiled eggs, tomato, iceberg lettuce, coarse pepper, and sea salt. Simple and tasty.

It was rainy here yesterday, so we decided to cook up an Indian feast to pass the time.

I made a lamb dish with yogurt and tomato sauce, and this carrot salad. My wife made naan, which tastes just like the stuff at the restaurant, and rice pudding.

It was yummy! And it made leftovers.

Steak and kidney pie with roast potatoes.

For tonight, I have a bone-in pork roast sitting in the crock pot over white and sweet onions, fresh potatoes, and chopped garlic (all the vegetables came from the farmers' market). That'll be dished up with boiled sweet corn, fresh stuffing and another salad.

For the record, holy shit -- this was amazing. The pork just fell right off the bone. I then turned around and made some pork stock with the bone from the roast, and I plan on making split-pea soup with it.

I have a crock pot, but can't figure out how to use it. I'd love to be able to use it more in the winter, and come home to a delicious smelling kitchen.

Everything ends up gummy and overcooked. Even things specifically out of a crock pot cookbook.

The key to crock pot cooking is low and slow. If you're cooking things on high, you're going to wind up with chewy turds.

SmoothieX · August 23 2010, 05:05 PM

My dogs love chewy turds, and you don't even need to cook them first.

I was on a date, so we went to a sushi place I know on Ventura that makes amazing --wait for it-- sushi.

Beef and broccoli.

I went out tonight with my parents to El Torito and I had a steak fajita, a chicken fajita and a cheese enchilada. It came with some rice, guacamole and sweet Mexican corn bread. Yum!

Admiral_Young · August 25 2010, 04:21 AM

Had two pizza buns and a slice of Raspberry cheesecake for desert.

Thai chicken and lemongrass soup (Tom Ka Gai), with coconut milk, bok choy, broccoli, red chilli, and a number of Thai spices. Very warming and soothing on what was an unseasonably cold night.

yogurt with cinnamon and granola -- I don't eat my big meal in the evening.
