swt61 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Touch of Fall with winds and highs in the 60sF. Leftover comfort food tonight with curried pinto and black bean soup with vegetables and ham over seasoned basmati rice with a garnish of homegrown chopped italian flatleaf parsley. The served plate: Glass of cab. Ahh! I must become your neighbor! You cook some good stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donunus Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Old Pa, That looks like dinuguan... Pigs blood with entrails. Tastes good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donunus Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 hehehe that dinuguan above is made with pigs slaughtered in ones own home. Thats how it usually works here in the Philippines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Pa Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 By his cooking vocabulary, I think he must have dated Rachel Ray. Saying EVOO without the giggle is good enough for me. Or, in the alternative, since I've been using the language longer, maybe she's copping my act. Steak & Baker; very simple meal of fresh seasonal foods Cold salad of homegrown chopped tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, homegrown sliced cucumber, homegrown green peppers, chopped white onion, and chopped homegrown Italian flat leaf parsley. Seasoned and dressed with seasalt and fresh cracked black pepper, EVOO, and vintage Modena balsamic vinegar. The served plate. Grilled marinated sirloin, loaded baked potato (butter/cracked black pepper/crumbled bacon/sourcream with homegrown chives and garlic powder), steamed green beans dressed with EVOO, seasoned with seasoning salt and fresh cracked black pepper, and finished with toasted sliced almonds. Glass of cab. Yum. Not shown: spaniels with tongues hanging down to knees. Detail of cook on steak: SWMBO's steak was finished to medium in microwave and then slathered in Heinz 57 as is her preference. She had a big glass of moo. The spaniels were not disappointed.

Old Pa Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Don't forget "sammy" and "delish". Maybe you two grew up together? I don't think I've said "sammy" for sandwich in my life and I've referred to delicious food as delish for three decades at least. You want to get into it about this? Maybe you need a life?

Old Pa Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 It's better than needing attention. If you say so, brother, if you say so. Me, I think you're projecting. This is a thread about what you are eating right now. What are you eating right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzziguy Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Nothing, it's not meal time. BTW, I meant nothing derogatory until the last post. Rachel Ray has talent and can cook. I have no idea why you decided to attack me. Also, I don't think I'm projecting at all. Almost all of your post are "Look at me" posts.

Hopstretch Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I would eat your sausage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Pa Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I would eat your sausage. Maybe we should have a couple of beers first. You can get really great poultry sausage these days. Being from sausage cultures (Swede/German and Slovanian), it doesn't take much to sell a nice grilled sausage around here. Grilled to me is a lot more attractive than boiled, but that's just me.

Augsburger Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Old Pa, you must be one heck of a chef. Your last couple of posts make me both envious and hungry. I had a Beaujolais last night that would have been awesome with that curried pinto and black bean dish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Pa Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I had a Beaujolais last night that would have been awesome with that curried pinto and black bean dish. Thanks. I think you're right about the Beaujolais and that's a marvelous idea. I've gotten into the Black Box family of vintage CA wines as they are pretty good and I usually need one glass and not a whole bottle. And that has kept me from other bottle only varietals, like Beaujolais, which are most tasty. Easy enough to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Pa Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 Home alone. Hell of a day. With my neuro symptoms last night, SWMBO had her diagnostics manual out on the table when I got up; pinched nerve at C6 and orders to see my doc. After my quarterly haircut, doc got me in; two appointments on one shower and shave (Sweet!). X-Rays and exam confirms; 6 to 8 weeks if I'm good. When have I been good? Then on to arranging for a sitter at the nursing home for my 86-year-old dad with dementia. *sigh* Try to keep him from being so anxious. SWMBO is off to family things for the weekend, so it's me with the girls. Dinner: Yes, they got some. Now on to Frisbee, walk, and snuggles.

Old Pa Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Another evening without Adult Supervision. Music: Brad Mehldau, Mehldau/Metheny, Adam Rogers, Peter Bernstein, and David Parsons (). The served plate: Grilled lamb (sea salt, fresh cracked black pepper, oregano garlic powder) with mint sauce, baked stuffed potato (new season russet/sea salt/fresh cracked black pepper/butter/crumbled bacon/sour cream/homegrown chives), vegetable medley dressed with EVOO and seasoned with sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Glass of cab. Spaniels feasted on lamb and bones. Yum! Note: SWMBO will go for (and has developed a preference for) ground lamb in red pasta meat sauce, meatloaf, and various casseroles. But not grilled lamb or veal by itself. Baby animals, you know. (Too much Disney! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
