That's fab Aubrey.
Didn't take a pic of my dinner.
Too much stuff going on at the time lol
Then, I napped :/
 
~taking a bow~ thx, lollie. how was yours-

naps can be good. saw the new avvie- i like!
:wink: it was good.
I think I'd rather nap lately than anything else in this world.
Glad you like the av... it serves a purpose of expressing this here Ohio weather.. plus, 'by dose is cowd' :flowers::yum:
 
Lollie and Aub YUM is all I can say. You two had esp and served the same dish. I usually do a white clam sauce. BUT I add tomatoes to my sausage and peppers. LOL
 
That's a beautiful piece of chickie, Peeps.:clap:

My friend Josie and I hit an authentic Mexican joint.
I got a combo platter of tostada, taco and chalupa.
I adore queso fresco cheese, but couldn't finish my plate after munching on the chips and salsa they serve first.

Thank you Lollie. The chicken hawk UMMMMMMMMMM the CAT liked it also!! My girl put two 1/2 breasts in a ziploc bag and left it on the table. The cat ripped a hole in the bag got one 1/2 breast out of the bag and took it to his dish to eat it!!

Thank you Aub. I am surprised the lil stinker didn't just eat it on the table. I am also glad I heard the thump and went to check it out. There were bones in the chicken and I am glad he didn't choke.

I've never had swordfish not being a big fishie lover your dinner does look wonderful.
 
Roasted bone in chicken breasts, quartered small red & Yukon potatoes, onion and sliced mushroom caps. Seasoned with my AP seasoning blend, rosemary, thyme and rubbed sage. It smells wonderful in here. Microwave steamed fresh broccoli & carrots and gravy round out the meal.

yeah, good thing u heard him!

swordfish is good- i like most any fish 'cept for mud-sucking bottom feeders (w/ a few exceptions.......) though it's one of my faves.
it's a meaty fish, & not too mild/flaky. good stuff!

anyhoo, i made some rigatoni w/ a pesto cream sauce early on this afternoon. waiting to see if my lamb lollipops thaw in time for a late-nite dinner, though i'm not counting on that- they're cut pretty thick.

saw your dinner pic after posting- yum!
 
Dinner plans:
Boneless pork loin chops (not sure if I will brine first).
At the moment I am unsure how I will cook them.
I am leaning toward one of these ways.
First pound thin then:
1) bread and fry
or
2) add a layer of stuffing then rolling, tying,
seasoned flour dredge, pan sear, finish in oven
or
3) season, pan fry and simmer in the gravy.
Stuffing was a request so it will be a side or a
filling. Gravy and a salad (may be some steamed carrots or mixed veggies also) will round out the dinner.
It depends on how the day goes.
 
Boneless pork loin chops (soaked in salt water for several hours) breaded (dipped in nicely seasoned flour, egg and crumbs) and fried in peanut oil, stuffing, gravy and salad.

broiled lamb lollipops i'd of liked to have made a few days ago, a fork-smushed yukon gold w/ black truffle butter & cream, purple string beenz (i know, they're green- they turn colors during cooking), & summer squash~

I spent the day at my sister and brother-in-law's house.
The neighbours and various family members have been there daily holding a vigil, hanging out.. just being together.
Those very kind neighbours have been bringing in casseroles, baked goods etc.
My dinner today was a serving of a very nice tater tot casserole and a slice of a lovely chocolate swirl cheesecake.
I then did the dishes and played Suzie Homemaker, distracting myself cleaning their house and doing laundry.
 
Made a pot roast with the usual suspects. Pretty damn good, and enough for dinner again tomorrow.

Olive Garden.
Note to self: never be so generous to pick up the tab for 7 people, that including 3 nephews under the age of 10 who drove me nuts throwing toys and shit around the vehicle coming home from taking my Aunt back to the airport.
grrrrrr

Should have put the urchins on the roof rack.:hammer:
 
^^

jev that is the type of food that gets me horny simple and to the point with taste:clap::clap::clap:
The gravy was especially good tonight because I seared the meat before roasting, and deglazed the pan with Merlot from a freshly opened bottle. 1/2 cup for the roast...2 cups for the chef...urp! Oh, it was the good shit with a cork, not a screw cap!
