Dinner 2019

@HungryChris -- I notice when you serve corn on the cob, it's always swathed in a tea towel. Is that to both keep it warm and take up moisture remaining on the ears so butter will adhere better?

 

Never thought of doing it that way. I generally just put it in a baking dish and slather butter on top, then make sure my ear is one of the last out of the dish, so I can roll it around in the accumulated melted butter.

@kayb, It is a thing my grandmother always did. Even as a young kid, I used to marvel at how well it kept in the heat. I just never gave any other serving option much thought.

And if that's not enough "pie" for one meal, backyard plums

We had large Gulf shrimps on the grill, also some NY strip steak for the kids. My daughter wanted nectarine in the salad and my son baked beets. I love the Chile crunch condiment I am able to buy in Wholefoods and that went on top of my shrimps. Another nice discovery is that my local supermarket carries Sullivan Street bakery Ciabatta and that was grilled and rubbed with garlic.

I serve my corn that way too, and for the same reason as you (mom and grandma did it that  way).  It really does seem to keep it hot.

On a toast ?!

 

I think that is a  potholder 🙂

 

Got home later than planned so my original dinner plans went out the window.  Sandwiches to the rescue.  Leftover ribeye from Saturday, parmesan cheese, truffle butter and greens for husband

Homemade turkey sausage (from the freezer), egg, tomatoes and greens for me.  Half of each sandwich is wrapped in the fridge for a lunch later.

@liamsaunt, even your fall-back fare looks like fine restaurant work! You didn't mention the bread, but it's fine-looking stuff too. More information about that, please? (Please don't tell me you just whipped up the bread when you got home. ;) )

Probably.  😉  Welcome back!

I just meant that beets are not on many kids' lists of edible food.

😁 I have strange kids then. My son has a passion for good quality anchovies and my daughter loves bitter vegetables  and liver 😂
