This is a continuation of the massive original Dinner! topic (when it got up near a thousand pages the database started having trouble with it...) Carry on!

(Please note that the original topic is temporarily offline while I split it into chunks the server can manage... it will be back soon, I promise!)

This was inspired by SobaAddict's Greek lemon potatoes :smile:

Started out with some wings with some similar marinate as the potatoes

Potatoes got a nice crisp on the Egg

Oh my God Shane those wings and shoulder chops look incredible.

I gave Meenal's murgh cholay another try, but this time substituted young frozen peas for the chickpeas, added at the very end and cooked until just done. This dish is just tremendous, I urge you to try it! As mentioned previously, I use a mix of yogurt and sour cream for the curd specified in the recipe.

(Also, Blether, if you're reading this, the Millser large container is perfect for blending the cooked onions and the curd.)

Shane – those lamb chops…I think that I can smell the gorgeous aroma from here. It’s 1:30am and I’m wondering where I can get grilled lamb!

I may be getting ready to disappear again. Don’t know if anyone remembers, but a couple of years ago, I was MIA for a long period when my grandmother had a stroke. Well, the same grandmother has had a really bad fall - surgery and at LEAST 3 months in a rehab facility, so my mom and I are heading down there. I’m not sure how much I’ll be there over the next few months, but I didn’t want to just vanish! I thought I’d post some meals from the last few days.

Dinner the other night was a salad and some baked spaghetti that a friend brought to us:

Then another night we had our favorite - breakfast for dinner. Benton’s country ham slices:

With eggs, biscuits and fries:

No pictures of today’s meal – just leftovers tonight because I was working on tailgate food all day. Game is at noon tomorrow, so it will be breakfast. Apple cider sweet rolls:

Really good, but the filling was a real PITA – very, very wet. Still really good though, especially since the cream cheese icing includes apple cider that has been reduced to a syrup.

Ham and Gruyere quiche:

I used the Thomas Keller pâte brisée – easy and delicious! I also made a fruit salad.

I had a bunch of finally ripe nectarines that needed to be used, so I made a pie using the CI vodka crust recipe:

The pastry is a dream to work with – it all goes together in the food processor and rolls out very nicely. AND there is plenty of it to make the crust. Flakey, tender…all the good stuff!

I'll check in when I can!

Rotuts: The marinate was olive oil,lemon juice,some zest and a store bought Greek spice blend

The wings were on the Egg, indirect @400 for about 45 min :smile:

Patrick: Thank you, the lamb is always a treat

Chris: I feel the same way about wings :laugh:

Kim: Very sorry to hear about your Grandmother.

Always look forward to your posts

Breakfast for dinner is on the menu tonight :smile:

Kim – Best wishes for your grandmother. Your pastries look fantastic, especially the nectarine pie. I need to learn to work with flour.

chefmd – Nice!

Stir-fried fish curry: Chunks of halibut, with red curry paste, ginger, garlic, fish sauce, chiles, and Thai basil, served over coconut jasmine rice.

Not pictured: Mrs. C made tomato-watermelon salad, and another salad with baby romaine, parsley, red bell pepper, jicama, and a watermelon vinaigrette.

For visiting cousins we made scampi and a simple green bean salad (parboiled green beans tossed with salt, olive oil, and lemon juice). One cousin, as it turns out, doesn't eat shrimp so I made a quick aio e oio, which went over well.

Tossed leftovers together and nuked for this morning's breakfast.
