Went to Arby's last night, because I didn't have time to cook before rushing to choir.

Cool! Just the ego trip I need!

The chili was good last night. I got an assortment of mild to hot chiles from the Stop & Shop and roasted them up, skinned 'em, and diced 'em. I went all out and instead of using chop meat, cubed up a steak into little pieces.

Browned the meat and an onion, threw in 3 cans of assorted beans, couple cans of diced tomatoes, and a can of hominy. I let it simmer for a bit so the flavors would mingle, then just spiced it to taste.

It came out well, but the diced peppers kidna ended up in pockets together. You'd get a nice bite with some heat to it, followed by a mouthful of lava in the next spoonful. Oh well.

I'm paying for all the chiles today though...

I don't need to cook for the rest of the week as I have enough leftovers to hold me over until the wife gets back on Sunday.

I still can't believe they scheduled a conference over Labor Day weekend. I could see it if it were international, and holidays are different, but who the hell wants to sit in a Minneapolis conference center over the unofficial end of summer holiday weekend.

Your chili sounds GREAT!!!

I agree with you about your wife's conference. What's up with that?

And finally, I'm sorry but your reference to "paying for the chili" today immediately made me think of the classic South Park episode where Cartman gets an anal probe.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled culinary thread.

Bon apetit.

You are too kind. Though I suspect you are buttering so I'll either share my recipe secrets, or let you play with my Lab, I can't be sure.

Well, at least it's not as bad as the World of Warcraft episode where he calls his mom in for assistance.

French bread pizza, made with pepperoni and fresh mozzarella from the store but also with tomatoes, basil and oregano from our garden, and salad that included lettuce and carrots from the store, tomatoes and banana peppers from our garden, and cucumber from a coworker's garden.

It was yummy, if I do say so myself.

My kind of dinner. I love their curly fries. I HATE to cook.

Plus I'm not very good at it.

We had roast beef, baked potato and corn.

Admiral_Young · September 4 2009, 09:45 PM

Made summer apple sausage (really good) and asparagus for my brother and I.

Colonel Green · September 4 2009, 09:49 PM

I had mussels in a spicy thai coconut milk sauce with diced peanuts.

It may actually have been the most delicious thing I have ever eaten. I can't believe that I'd all but forgotten that the restaurant existed.

Friend and I made a kerala-style king prawn curry. Fucking awesome. Best curry I've ever eaten. That's a recipe that will definitely be repeated.

Admiral_Young · September 5 2009, 08:05 AM

Made steak and pasta for my brother and I. The steak was outstanding. I actually made myself a steak sandwich and had the pasta as a side dish.

gwud · September 5 2009, 03:01 PM

I just had Sushi from Tesco, no, I'm not proud.

DarkHelmet · September 5 2009, 05:11 PM

Antipasti was Yellowfin Tuna Carpaccio with Red Pepper Relish and Calabrian Chili Aioli paired with an '07 Borgo M Pinot Grigio Venezie.

Primi was Maine Lobster Ravioli in a Mascarpone Alfredo.

Entree was Veal Tenderloin with Garlic Parmesan Oxford Garden Kale & Chanterelle Mushrooms paired with a 2004 Damilano “Lecinquevigne” Barolo.

Dessert was Toasted Almond Cake, Cinnamon Caramel Sauce topped with House Made Vanilla Gelato paired with a Taylor Fladgate 20 Year Tawny Port.

It was a good night.

Admiral_Young · September 6 2009, 09:09 PM

Had fish and garlic fingers...an odd combination yes I know but great nevertheless.

TrekkieMonster · September 7 2009, 02:45 PM

We had friends over for a cook out. In addition to the appetizers, I made BBQ baby back ribs, cole slaw (made mostly of veggies from my mother-in-law's garden) and grilled corn (ditto), followed by strawberry-rhubarb cobbler (with vanilla ice cream, of course.) Oh, and lots and lots and LOTS of libation.

A good time was had by all ... until a cop showed up and started shining his light at us over our back fence and telling us to quiet it down because there had been complaints ... at 9:45 at night.

Fortunately, we discovered it was just our neighbor (who is a cop) screwing with us. A$$hole!

Actually, he's a really great guy, and it was pretty funny, in retrospect. So, of course, we invited him over for beers.
