What Did You Have For Dinner Last Night?

I was hoping for more comments on my food photography or my dishes of choice, as opposed to my enthusiastic endorsement of scrambled eggs.

I missed your edit! That bolognese is positively drool-worthy. There's no beating a well made ragu. One of my favourite dishes actually, which I never make myself - 2 hours minimum cooking time is a little much, and I like to keep my time in the kitchen to a minimum! So you can imagine what I think about your planned crock pot...

As I'm still freelancing and working out of our home, being "Mr. Mom" and handling tasks like dinner has fallen to me. Granted, I have the benefit of having worked in several restaurants, and apprenticing under two 1-star chefs, so I'm not a completely worthless dude in the kitchen.

So, I had enough time to use my morning for dicing onions, carrots and celery (which is long work, to which anyone who has ever worked in a restaurant can attest), and then I simmered the sauce for a few hours. Then, I reduced the sauce even further.

My God, it was incredible.

If you're not going to mail me some by fast courier, you have to stop the descriptions - I skipped dinner tonight and I'm about to eat this here cushion...

Last night was chicken and penne pasta with broccoli and peppers.

Tonight, it was cheese ravioli in basil & garlic tomato sauce, with seasoned green beans on the side.

^ Seriously. You eat like a king. Who does the cooking? You or hubby?

Shrimp stir fry. The frozen bag kind. I hate cooking.

Primarily me, but The Hubby has done more and more over the years; it's about 75/25 now, probably.

And thank you, but last night's meal was SOOOO easy. Seriously. The tuna was on special at the fish counter (not the "week old special"), I always have the wasabi powder on hand (the aioli is a snap), saw the baby bok choy and was inspired. ;-) I'm happy to share recipes anytime.

*snort* I don't even know what any of those things are (except the tuna that you mentioned.) I am soo not into cooking. Or even food all that much. I'd be perfectly happy if i could just take nutritional supplement #34 for the rest of my life.

This makes baby TrekkieMonster cry.

Kidding. I understand what you mean. I know a few people like that. In truth, I wish I were a little less "interested" in food; it might help my waistline.

But, alas, I love food, and I love to cook. Las night was a simple one, though:

Petit filet mignon on the grill, sautéed mushrooms, baked potato and broccoli with a nice glass of red wine (They Hubby was at a work function, so I got to have steak, which he hates.)

[Timby]

We had a Home Run Inn cheese pizza, along with some homemade garlic bread. It was delicious (outside of me slicing a chunk out of my thumb while mincing the garlic).

Beef That red curry with rice.

Afterwards, cup of tea and iced donuts.
Four squares if Cadbury Old Gold chocolate

 

[auntiehill]

Pork in white wine and garlic, with rice, and salad in creamy Ceasar dressing.

I just threw things together, and it came out surprisingly well.
