What's for Dinner Tonight?

I have cheap cuts of steak I'm going to fix with some home fries & a green salad. I have a fasting blood test tomorrow & can't eat 8 hours before that so I may as well stuff myself tonight.

Slow cooked a pork shoulder overnight, then turned it into pulled pork sammies for dinner with coleslaw and baked redskin taters.



 
Grilled up some pork chops with baked sweet potatoes and dinner rolls. They sure need watching when the fat catches fire. Must have turned them 6 times. Pork is getting almost totally gone. Have to do a little more rooting in the meat freezer and then order a half with the loin smoked as well as the sausage and bacon.
 
Made a nice big taco salad with a lb. of burger, lettuce, sour cream, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar and medium salsa. Crushed up some plain tostitos for the taco shell.

Nothing special, but I didn't want this thread to be ignored. Fresh ground chuck burgers, homemade redskin potato salad & sweet corn. Homemade Big Boy sauce on the burgers.

 
potato & leek soup -or a soup of blake's choosing-, grilled cheeses, & yogurt fer me. may make a salad of baby greens & veggies in the fridge.

Pork chops browned and simmered in a mixture of cream of mushroom soup mixed with a can of french onions soup until fork tender. I thickened the soup with a little cornstarch and made a gravy. YUM!

Gravy makes everything that much better. Traveled to Dayton, Ohio & back yesterday and feasted on Mickey D's Sausage biscuit w/egg on the way down, Polish dogs for lunch, and chicken sandwich on the way back. Not a good culinary day, except for the baguettes & Sopresata that I took along to snack on for the 3-1/2 drive each way.
 
YUM JOE!

Where did you get those bread bags? I'd love to get some of those.

Last nights dinner....

Dinner and dessert. Shrimp Parmesan from the leftover shrimp and I made some Krispy Kreme Ice Cream on top of a doughnut.

Gas bottle went empty right after I lit the grill so we pan fried the strip steaks after cutting them into 1/2 wide strips. Made some beef rice a roni for a side. No pics as my camera has been missing for over 2 weeks now. Time to buy a new one.:hammer:
 
i made a a packet of a curry. that 1 won't be on my pantry shelf again (too much spice in that 1).
glad that half my fridge overwhelmed by deli meats/cheeses. that is my 2nd dinner. the curry was put in my sink.
 
I made a chicken stir fry last night for dinner, then today me and DW made batch of mini cupcakes for a reception after church on Sunday. Also made Calico Beans in my big 6 qt. travel crock pot, and DW made a big pasta salad. Both are for our grandson's baptism this afternoon. No pics because it's all ready for the trip to their home.



 
Prime sirloin steak (baked at 275°F to 110° internal temp then broiled to brown), steamed fresh corn on the cob and steamed fresh baby spinach

Spent the day pruning, trimming, weeding & planting. 6 bags of yard waste later, I said there's no way we're cooking dinner. Cashed in my $7.99 Papa John's Memorial Day coupon for a large pepperoni. DW threw together a salad so there would be something we could call healthy for dinner.

 
Closed the garage sale early (it was 86 with a heat index of 89) at about 2:00 and took a siesta in the house with the A/C set at 74...sweeeeeet! After the nap I made this nice did-din for my Honey. These chops cooked in the raised-rib cast iron pan were really moist, and the corn was frozen from last Fall was super sweet. The redskins speak for themselves. I know I made this just a couple of weeks ago, but I felt like making it again.

 
Looks great Joe. I stopped at Sams for some scripts and brought a rotisserie chicken home for supper. Will pick it down tomorrow and make some stir fry with the oriental veggies I got there. Grabbed a fresh pineapple for some beef kabobs when it finishes ripening. Been hankering for them also. I found some smoked chops stashed in the one basement freezer the other day so they will be on the menu shortly as well.
 
Hamburger on the grill topped with Dubliner cheese and homemade salsa. A ripe avocado sprinkled with Kosher salt on the side. A tall margarita to wash it all down.
 
Hey, Muley! Good to see you got a camera, and great looking stir fry. I can hardly wait until my snap peas come in so I can add them to my stir fry recipes.

My friend & neighbor, Homecook, posted this Rustic loaf this morning on her facebook page. It looked so good that I decided to make a loaf for the Panini sandwiches I planned to make for dinner. The recipe can be found at http://www.melskitchencafe.com/2012/02/rustic-crusty-bread-a-simple-how-to.html





 
Someday in my spare time I need to learn to make bread. That looks great. As for the camera it is the wife's pocket camera and I hate it. No viewfinder and I have a hard time holding that little thing still and seeing the image in the screen.:hammer:
 
I made meat sauce today and 4-cheese whole wheat ravioli (9 dozen). Also picked some black seeded simpson lettuce from the garden to make a salad.
