We have Alexa for today and tomorrow while Mommy & Daddy have a day to themselves before the new baby comes on or about 11-28-12. They're going out for a nice dinner and a movie, then settle in for an uncomfortable evening of baby boy kicking the daylights out of Mommy.

Anyhooo, we let Alexa pick what she wanted for dinner, and here's what she chose with Yellow Jello for dessert. it was really pretty good with my meatballs and sweet marinara.

Being a family friendly site, I won't say what I'm holding.:brows::yum:
 
Had company for dinner last night, so I made Chicken Parmesan with homemade basil-infused whole wheat pasta, my marinara sauce and fresh Italian baguette.

We had pan fried scallops and homemade mac&cheese. Going to the cheese shop tomorrow as she really likes getting it in blocks and grating it fresh. I was full and have some mac&cheese left for lunch tomorrow.
 
Monday night it was red pasta sauce with meat, mushrooms and geeen ppeppers and a sauce ladened with cut up tomatoes from the garden.
Beans were added to what was not consumed.
Red Fire Truck was the wine

Last Night it was converted to chili con carne via added tomatoes, chiles and Cayene pepper.
Tums and Pepto biz was the side dish.
Vanilla Ice cream and blueberries the antidote.

Tonite, what was left was seasoned with George Washington Ketchup and poured over long macaroni noodles with shredded mozzarella cheese.
This Chili-Mac favorite was served with a Sam Adams beer.
 
if canned pasta (was whole-grain, if that makes a difference:whistling:) & a few chips & pretzel pieces can be dinner, then dinner that was.
i'll prolly be in the pantry & fridge in a few pouring a bowl of rice krispies-making a tuna salad sammich if not too sleepy.
fer now, i'll snooze post-noshing.

looking to make a hearty beef stew really soon. keep meaning to, then ppl arrive, or i get preoccupied & visit those near-by.
 
DW wasn't sure how late she had to stay at work, so I told her we'd have breakfast, which can be made quickly once she got home. I made us 2-cheese omelets (Velveeta & Mozzarella), bacon and toasted the rest of the baguettes from Tuesday's dinner. Cupcakes for dessert.

tuna sammich, butternut squash bisque, spinach salad, gorgonzola dolce gelmini w/ quince paste, & milk as my drink.

Ham steak, scalloped potatoes and steamed broccoli-cauliflower medley. Nothing fancy, just belly filling food.

We got some colossal shrimp and made some coconut shrimp tonight. The pictures are previously posted but the same size and as good as it was. Blade is 10" chef's knife if you are wondering.

I like coconut shrimp, and I like that knife. Is that a custom build?

No Joe the knife is a Misono which is my usual Japanese knife one of many however the handle is custom by a guy name Fish out of Hawaii who died a couple of years ago but a legend in knife circles for his handles. I've got a number of kitchen knives handled by him and he often joked saying I was his best customers. I sure do miss him though as he really was creative and a hell of a wood worker in general.
 
coconut shrimp. yum. haven't gotten that in yrs.
how's the tang on that knife, joe-- handsome blade

It is a full tang if that is what you are asking luvs. Misono is an excellent knife really and this is the only one I own by them. It is the first Fish knife I also owned before buying about 10 more including my loved Chinese pattern cleavers.

These shrimp by the way are huge as 4 weight right at a pound even without the heads. They are Tiger shrimp that I get a couple of times a year at Kroger's fish department. I make them using honey panko (available for the Korean market near me) and flaked coconut. I also make the dipping sauce which is below.

Orange Dipping Sauce
1/2 cup orange marmalade
1 to 2 tablespoons dark rum
1 lime, juiced
 
i know it's full-tang in appearance, joe, & i figure 'tis. i should've emphasized- i was indeed seein' if 'twas full-tang.

I'm not sure then what you are asking about the tang other than perhaps it is the same material the blade is made from since it is all one piece.
 
is the blade from tip to end of the knife, in 1 piece, regardless of the material surrounding the blade~ rivets can make a knife appear full-tang, when it's not. maybe i'm getting too into Chef terms. shrug.

Because of the silver "collar" where the blade and handle meet the tang isn't clearly visable till it is seen again in the handle (with the rivets). Is that what you mean?
 
in many knives, yep, peepz. tho a few companies have faux full-tang. my Mom & the gash over her brow after a knife was tossed into a sink & split in 2 would vouch fer that one.
 
I've been left to my own devices while DW is at the daughter's house for the week helping with the grandkids, so I treated myself tonight to TWO goose liver sammies with mayo, onions & provolone cheese. I'm in heaven...
