Dinner! 2005

[bilrus]

Bill, that pizza makes me want to jump right in the screen.

Thanks. That sausage was unbelievable - spicy and sweet. I'm making mini pizzas this week with some pancetta I bought while we were there.

[Shalmanese]

Okay, not strictly dinner but I wanted to share anyway:

My first ever chocolate cake.

[Chufi]

mmm, egg salad.. what's the green stuff in your eggsalad Bilrus? Avocado?

Shalmanese, sometimes chocolate cake can be dinner! Looks great!

My dinner tonight:

Duck salad with honey balsamic cherry dressing

and pancakes stuffed with twice shelled broadbeans (although I only did one of the shellings because they came from the freezer ), ricotta, mint & parmesan:

Celery. Other stuff - onions, mayonnaise, dijon, garlic powder, salt, pepper.

It is basically the recipe from the CIA's "The Professional Chef", only I used 8 eggs instead of 40 or whatever restaurant-sized quantity the recipe called for.

My kind of food... Filipino home cookin'!

And I'll second the comment about Bill's pizza... damn, that looks tasty!

[FoodMan]

Dinner was beets, the last few I pulled from the backyard. I slow roasted them with garlic and olive oil in the oven, peeled them, sliced them and served them with a walnut/roasted garlic dressing and cumbled farmer's cheese.

dessert: Canelles

Blackened Salmon, Rice, Corn and Green Beans

I don't know why I don't eat more fish.

[percyn]

Skirt Steak Sandwich w/Caramelized Onions

Served on a wheat roll, smothered with Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill BBQ sauce, topped with a fried egg.

[Susan in FL]

Russ grilled chicken, but not the usual almost-charred way which sometimes turns out overcooked. This was slow cooked on the grill and turned out soooo tasty and juicy. To go with it he made a salsa-slash-salad of black beans, corn, avocado, etc. and served that on top of a crispy slice of iceberg lettuce. ...Very good refreshing dinner.

[suzilightning]

wow what beautiful food and chocolate cake has most of the food groups in it. right?

yesterday was the day off and it hit 60 here - YEAH!!!!

i wanted something lighter so sesame orange shrimp over jasmine rice. u9 shrimp, orange and yellow peppers, thinly sliced shallot, fresh orange juice, orange segments, toasted sesame seeds, oyster sauce. wonder what the combo would be like with chicken - or beef. will have to try.

leftovers for the next two days since we both are working late.

[Chufi]

Bilrus, your pizza upthread looked so good that I had to have some.. so today I made spicy sausage pizza, thanks for the inspiration!

[calimero]

Clams, mussels and gurnard tagliatelle

Veal in a vinegar sauce

[Adam Balic]

A friend gave me a 8lb trout, so I had a few friends over for dinner.

This was a variation on brandade de morue, using Scottish Abroath Smokies, rather then salt cod. Abroath Smokies have recently been given regional protection by the EU, as well they should because they are delicious. Hot smoked haddock, sold in pairs like these

The finished dish looked like this, you know white gloop.

The main was the trout cooked in brioche, with cod for contrast. Unfortunately, the damn oven turned itself off 15 minutes into the process, so the pastry didn't rise or brown as much as I would have liked. The scale is poor, but it is about 60 cm long.

Next days left overs.

For dessert I made a Normandy Apple, calvados, almond and creme fraiche tart. This was great, but I forgot to take a photo.

[hathor]

Adam, that trout looks fantastic!! So pink inside...almost makes me want to leave Italy and come to Edinburgh...at least for the weekend!

[Adam Balic]

I am willing to swap....Any time really.

Glad I could be of some inspiration. Looks mighty tasty.

[reesek]

everyone's food looks amazing.

friday was my first ever carbonara. my local gourmet market didn't have (and had never heard of guanciale) but the pancetta was delicious. served it with blanched and then sauteed broccolini. amazing and i hate broccoli! i took a photo, but my lens was smeared.

sunday i roasted some chicken thighs that i'd marinated in olive oil, lemon zest, oregano garlic, s&P and a little tahini. served with my first homemade pita, and feta/pepperoncini/cucumber/tomato & kalamata salad. oh, and a few roasted potatoes. very good.
