What are you eating tonight?

Dinner & After

Lobster hot dogs... Yes they are stuffed with lobster meat

The heck kinda red crab is that? What size are those things and do you get much to eat on em?

DB, I was sorry to hear about the Dungeness disaster out your way. Opening day on is usually a fun time for great eating and specials if the season's a strong one.

Lobster dogs sound interesting....looks like home made chips too.

Guy in Chicago ran a hot dog joint named Hot Dougs that closed a few years back because he needed a break. Had some crazy hot dogs, including one with foie gras on top.

On weekends the fresh cut fries were cooked in duck fat.
 
Well after all that our meal seems odd!

A simple salad made of Lettuce and half a huge Tomato chopped into big chunks, dressed with a homemade vinaigrette dressing as a base.
Then add Half an Avocado (each) stuffed with prawns and smothered in a homemade pink mayo seafood dressing. to this I added a rolled Cheese and Tomato pizza and Tatziki (both supermarket sourced sadly) and to add, homemade Jersey Royal potato salad with chopped olives, spring onion mayo and hot chilli sauce.

Yum Yum!
 
I spotted a leg of lamb reduced to £4 in Sainsbury's, so I bought it. Once home I boned and butterflied the lamb, did the usual garlic and herb treatment, and grilled it. Served it pink, cut into thick slices, with some roasted vegetables.
 
My daughter's back from her first year of Uni so she made a tomato, onion, carrot, celery, spinach, sweetcorn and green bean pasta sauce with roast chicken with a balsamic baste. Yumbles.

Seeing how she can cook like that, is she still single? I have lots of shave stuff to offer as dowry. :D ;)
 
Hiya,

Yesterday I happened to be looking for some venison sausage just for the hell of it. There's a real nice store that actually makes lots of their own sausages and carries some unusual other brands. Called The Paulina Market in Chicago if you wanna see some nice food related offerings. It's out of the way for me and I have never been inside the place.

Anyway, I was also looking at the racks of beef ribs the butcher section sells, mainly because it's a great cut if done right. Doesn't hurt that it's usually a fairly reasonable part of the steer.

So today I was shopping at the local joint and I'll be darned if they didn't have beef ribs in good sized slabs of maybe 4 pounds each with 4-5 ribs. And, they were on sale for $3 a pound. And, it looks pretty tasty, the one for dinner tonight. Setting the oven at 250 degrees for 4 hours or so and done deal. Man, I love beef ribs but you don't see em at many restaurants. Short ribs are real good too, but different.

Phew! Work has been mental ... working two jobs at the moment, Mrs retired from her main job and now down to the one job she now wants to do, I'm pushing the (second) job that I really want to do and hoping it's going to come to fruition ... and so, I've not been shopping.

Literally, we're down to an avocado, some penne, half a jar of black olives, half a carton (passable) of tomato puree and a jar of Bratwursts. Guess what we're having for dinner?

Yeah, curry :D

I jest ... I'll slap that lot together, run up to the corner for some eggs from the lady who keeps chickens and have a weird pan-European mish mash with a fried egg on top.

I need to go shopping ...

Meanwhile, I have coffee, I have rum, oh, there's white fish for the cats which I could dip into ... we're fine.
