That looks really tasty, Aubs.
I made salmon salad this morning, and put it on a large croissant, for my work lunch.
Took some baby carrots, celery and radishes in a little zip lock bag.
Key lime pie yogurt too.
It beat the hell out of going to a fast food joint, or having chinese again LOL
 
thanx, lollie~ it was a pleasant change, & the meatballs were surprisingly moist.

yummy lunch! especially the crossaint sammich.
 
Fettuccine Alfredo with homemade basil-egg-whole wheat fettuccine, broccoli bits and grilled chicken breast. DW's super salad and fresh brownies round out the meal.

I found a short slab of boneless ribs in the freezer so I bathed them in lemon juice and put a rub on them. Cooked on 300F for a couple of hours and made up some of my home fried potatoes with seasoned bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese, tossed in butter & olive and some basic seasonings. Added the Sweet Baby Ray's when served, and some Frank's hot sauce on the taters, just because that's the way I like my fried taters. DW made her killer salad and that was dinner.

Nuked some of the home made lasagna and will have some real good cake the old woman made for the wife's birthday.

Got some of that today. To go with the sweet lebanon bologna and swiss cheese the wife brought home.:clap:
 
Folks that never had it don't know what they are missing. That pink stuff from Oscar Mayer etc. is just hot dogs in a different shape. The real good stuff is made with honey. After eating york county deer bologna for 50 years I can't handle what they make up here.
 
Lebanese food in general is outstanding. I try to make many of their dishes with varying degrees of success. Kibbeh was my latest attempt and it came out very good, a little flawed, but overall good. I concur, Lebanese Baloney is supurb.
 
What I am talking about is real Pa. dutch food from Lebanon,Pa. Not that stuff from folks who eat more of camels and goats than I can stomach. I have butchered and eaten goats and it ain't bad but I never tried to cook the stuff most folks throw away.:whistling:

Oh, misunderstood. However, if you consider fine cuts of lamb and beef throwaway food, please throw it my way. It is very expensive. Traditional old world recipes with first world quality meats and ingredients are fine culinary experiences. To each his own, I guess. :wink: Some folks like wine with dinner, some folks like dinner with wine. Everyone is different.
 
Oh I have cooked and eaten plenty of it. It is the strange stuff they make with intestinal parts etc. that I cant handle. It has to look like meat and be cooked right for me to eat it. We raised goats and milked them for almost 10 years so I have eaten it enough. Raised and ate rabbits for a while also.
 
Pigged out on this big plate of Taco salad. You can't see it but there is almost 3/4 lb. of our own lean burger browned in a little bacon grease and seasoned with taco mix under the lettuce and tomato. Topped off with shredded cheddar and Casa Mia salsa.:clap:

Well congrats to you and the wife. That looks like one of those places where it should all be good so choice would only be limited by what you can pronounce.:whistling::clap:

I didn't notice any SLOVAK food on the menu so I'm going to be pretty limited in what I can pronounce!!!

I'm really looking forward to this meal, Charlie Trotter's is considered one of the top restaurants in the world and its right here in Chicago. Its literally won every major award in the industry and been here for nearly 25 years yet I've never managed to eat there. They announced that he was retiring to peruse other ventures and close on his 25th anniversary and my wife knew I wanted to eat there so she made the reservations.
 
Congrats to you and the wife Bob.
Hopefully after your fine dining experience there, you won't leave feeling like you've had nothing to eat.
 
Just got home from dinner in Chicago at Charlie Trotters. Chef Trotter invited us into the kitchen, we got a private tour of the kitchen by his sous chef, then a tour of his private TV studio. Amazing night. Didn't get to see his wine cellar but he's got 10,000 bottles in storage, highest price bottle I know of on his menu was $36,000.00. I can understand why it has been voted the best restaurant in the US a couple times and is ranked one of the best in the world every year. Amazing and wonderful.

I ate:
Sashimi of Katsuo with Razor Clams, Aged Soy & Fava Beans

Unagi Terrine with Grapefruit, Red Curry & Kaffir Lime

Steamed Alaskan Halibut with Green Almonds, Acorn-Fed Iberian Ham & Thai Basil

Arkansas Rabbit Loin with Ramps, Burgundy Snails & Mustard Cress

Pine Grove Lamb Loin with Toasted Espresso, Trumpet Royale Mushrooms, Crumbled Oats & Boudin Noir

Granny Smith Apple & Greek Yogurt Sorbet with Meyer Lemon, Tarragon & Candied Pistachio

Toffee Glazed Banana Financier with Candied Hazelnuts, Pickled Dates & Roasted Coconut

Criollo Cake with Parsnip, Red Wine & Candied Vanilla​

My wife ate:
Hot & Sour Eggplant with Tiny Leeks, Lotus Root & Yuba

Fennel Custard with Marinated Cauliflower, Puy Lentils & Green Garlic Sorbet

Stinging Nettle Soup with Globe Artichokes, Sumac & Cipollini Onions

One-Hour Poached Hen’s Egg with Morel Mushrooms, Swiss Chard & Liquorice

Miso Tortellini with Red Cabbage, Turnip Confit & Ponzu

Ginger-Braised Bosc Pear with St. Germaine Sorbet & Chamomile Cotton Candy

Butter Scotch & Black Tea Crème Brûlée with Toasted Vanilla Ice Cream

Guava Mousse with Caramelized White Chocolate & Passion Fruit​

We each had wine, but our wines were different, each glass was paired with each of our courses. So it was something like 16 plates of food and 16 glasses of wine (not full glasses) spread out over 3 hours.
 
Hehe.. I knew you'd like it there.
:whistling::poke::yum:
My attorney Clayton and his wife Susan eat there often when they go visit their daughter Rachel, who happens to be a very successful singer and actress, currently in rehearsal for summer stock.
I may catch the train in Waterloo the next time they decide to go up there and see her this summer.
