What are you EATING right now?

[jvlgato]

That DOES sound really good!

Really good home made chocolate chip cookies.

My mom came here last weekend on her way from my sisters place in Tennessee back home to Tampa (the god-forsaken Alabama route, sorry PJ). Brought me my sister's choc chip cookies. Even though I possess her super secret recipe I can't copy her success. Partially because that would involve tracking down her super secret vanilla extract supplier. Basically black-market from how she describes it.

Dinner tonight was fresh lobster with salad. Fillet steak, carrots in honey, waxy boiled potatoes, green beans in garlic. Cart

[Duggeh]

You obviously don't get the right type of potatoes for good boilers.

Back on topic- what "vintage wine and vintage Port" Duggeh?

I boil potatoes somewhat regularly as well. It's not always convenient to roast them. And boiled fingerling potatoes are better than roasted russetts...

[Absorbine_Sr]

Flank steak and fries from FFF.

i typically bake potatoes for mashed potatoes, you get a lot more flavor.

Never thought of making mashed potatoes with baked potatoes but I am sure they would be much better. I bet they would taste a lot like baked potatoes.

Marinating some flank steak with CCB Marshall Zhukov Imperial Stout, onions, garlic, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Also some acorn squash on the grill with a honey, butter, salt and pepper sauce that will go on for the last 40 minutes of griqlling.

[Dusty Chalk]

Goddamn, that sounds good.

Mike's dinner looked so good, I went about and bought an acorn squash and rib eye steak. The squash are cooking on the grill right now and the steak will go on just long enough for the rare side of med-rare.

[DigiPete]

Sheesh... Mike's meat creations are seriously tasty looking

[tyrion]

Shelly, how was the ribeye?

The new grill does a great job with steak.

[shellylh]

The acorn squash took a lot longer than I thought they would take but they eventually finished after throwing them in the oven at 450. Guess I need a super grill like Mike. The ribeyes were great, very near rare but really good. It doesn't hurt to slop a little butter on them when they come off the grill.

[shellylh]

Butter is good.

Forbidden City Roll: Spicy Tuna, Lettuce, Unagi, Ebi, with Organic Wild Black Rice, Also some Tuna, Yellowtail, Salmon sushi.

I have lunch and the afternoon to myself, after having the kids to myself all weekend. My wife was in the Twin Cities visiting one of her best friends who underwent her second round of chemo due to breast cancer.

Edit: The roll is good, but it's Unagi sauce, no Unagi! So I just ordered a piece of Unagi sushi. Have to have that!

[jvlgato]

Pretty yummy, indeed! Haven't been able to convince Anne that sushi is awesome (yet). So when I get time alone, it's often for sushi.

[jvlgato]

Wouldn't mess with that particular arrangement called marriage?

Or really off-color humor?

Cold Stone Creamery German Chocolate Cake Mix-In.

Had to offset the healthiness of the sushi.

Not bad. Can't say I love it. Not even sure I want to finish it.

[jvlgato]

Ah! Gotta get my mind out of the gutter!

[Salt Peanuts]

What I want is a good, free sushi. I'm still annoyed that my folks moved 5 hours away.

[jvlgato]

I can use chopsticks, but am told by 'real' Asians that I hold them like a kindergartener or a barbarian.
