Dinner 2018

[lindag]

A friend from years ago had a husband who hated tomatoes also...she was a great cook but I don't know how she could make many recipes without using canned tomatoes and tomato products.....for me that would be pretty hard, I use tomatoes a lot especially in winter dishes.

[dcarch]

Lot's of tomatoes from the garden.

Made clams on mini conchiglie pasta with tomato sauce made with white tomatoes.

something new on eG every day !

 

never heard of anyone hating tomatoes , fresh from the garden

 

Green Bells , from anywhere, for sure.

 

just not perfectly ripe red tomatoes.

 

I ate nine perfectly red ripe tomatoes yesterday.  About the same number the day before.  I'd almost rather see a green pepper on the counter than the pile of tomatoes.  And most of the tomatoes are in the bedroom.  (The Atlas ones weigh almost two pounds.)

 

I haven't dared check the plants in three days.

 

[mgaretz]

Stir-fry with noodles, chicken, mushroom, bok choy and assorted veggies. Sauce was a hoisin-soy combo.  Compressed watermelon for dessert.

 

 

[Dante]

Chicken breast with a sauce of, vermouth, orange juice, and capers, with cherry tomatoes and corn, over couscous

 

[JoNorvelleWalker]

About a dozen tomatoes, mostly cracked, all but one were small.  Washed down with bread and Hellman's.  This wasn't dinner, this was triage.

So does my older sister.  To this day.  

[Shelby]

I will take any and all tomatoes that no one wants.

 

I'm nice that way.

PM if you want my address.  Fortunately Atlas is determinant and in another six months I may be able to look at a tomato.

Make you some tomato sauce and can or freeze it!

There's a reason not to open my refrigerator.  Seriously when I get the level down I'll make more sauce.  But canning and freezing aren't practical.

 

[Duvel]

"Repetition" of Tuesdays Izasakya theme, this time a bit more refined ... "Okra" in Sai Pun, renowned for its carefully procured sake selection as well as Japanese food with a twist.

 

For my wife and me: Brussel sprouts with raisins (unusual sweet & sour, my wife's favourite), Anago with foie gras ( lovely & very rich), roasted aged pigeon (quite gamey), dry-aged Wagyu tongue (from the daily specials, outstanding) and Karaage-style chicken sandwiched between purple sweet potato bread (very tasty and visually striking). Some sakes and Coedo draft beer. I wasn't stuffed, but surely satisfied ...

 

 

[chord]

Braised citrus chicken and roasted vegetables (potatoes, zucchini, and radishes).

Now that it is fashionably close to two o'clock I got to thinking about real dinner.  No tomatoes.  I'd planned something Georgian but I had no cilantro and I had no dill.  How could this happen?

 

I went with half a chicken in the CSO, peas and mashed potatoes.  Got the job done well.

Canning isn’t practical for my household either. Which is why I don’t grow my own produce despite having a large yard and decent growing zone.

While I gather your 'hatred' is caused by your current glut, I'm the unfortunate soul that actually does. 

Canned tomatos fine, puree fine, on a pizza fine. 

 Fresh and Raw straight from the garden, the Holy Grail of so very many people on this forums Summer? Even the thought turns my stomach. It saddens me. But not enough to try and change my tastes! 

[shain]

Manakish breads (مناقيش).

Zaatar and olive oil.
Butter and dukkah (toasted coriander, sesame, cumin, peanut).

Thin layer of tomato sauce with sumac, bharat and feta cheese.

Served with labneh, salad, olives, chickpeas with tahini.

a banh mi using two recipes from Andrea Nguyen's Banh Mi Handbook, the Thai omelet and the portobello mushroom recipes, cooked together.

[Shelby]

Made a little casserole out of some zoodles

 

To go with fried catfish and shrimp and more of that wonderful green bean salad

 

[HungryChris]

Normally, we may have lobster once or maybe twice a year, but they keep going on sale and I keep bringing them home.

Given the choice, I'd like to try some more creative things with lobster as well, but just plain old boiled lobster, the right tools and some melted butter makes Deb a very happy camper. So I don't mess with success.

[lindag]

I've oonly seen Ina Garten make lobster mac and cheese as well as lobster bisque, they both looked amazing.

[Anna N]

 

Gyudon. Japanese beef with onions over rice and topped with a soft egg.

[Raamo]

Fried Catfish and Succotash, something of a staple now and then for us.

 

We got new plates recently - so here it is on new stoneware:
