Thread: just wanted to share tonight's dinner with you guys..

Felt the need to make something a little lighter tonight after all the good eats over the weekend.

My attempt at beef stir fry over chow mein noodles.

One pan dinner, in three stages, with a sauce made from equal parts bbq sauce, maple syrop, and half that of soya sauce.
and I wasn’t hungry an hr later,,, wife said I did a pretty good job.

It's CHEESEBURGER SATURDAY!



Homemade coconut/turbinado bread with sesame seeds, 21 oz patties <EDIT I meant 12oz not 21oz> of home ground chuck, home grown romaine lettuce, home grown Boxcar Willie tomatoes, home grown 1015 onion, home grown jalapenos, home brewed grapefruit imperial stout aged two years in bottle. Didn't make the cheese, though.

I have to say, not a bad meal. Both burgers for me. Wife is on diet, eating kale, chia seeds, watercress, an an occasional lettuce leaf. She has lost 133 lbs as of today. When I can afford to lose 133 lbs maybe I will go on a diet, too.

^^^^^^^^ Were those Burgers cooked in a cast iron skillet...I hope so !

Where's the beef.!!

Where else? Other than outside on a pecan wood fire, that is. My burger and steak skillet is a 15" Lodge, nicely seasoned. I have a glass lid for it, and I made a 12" round steel panini/bacon smasher downer for it that almost perfectly fills the bottom. It really helps to get a fine sear, and speeds up cooking. The one I made is 1/8" steel but I have a piece of 1/4" that is going to be smasher mk II.

They look like Krabby Patties...

That's a good thing by the way.

Dieting wife wanted me to cook something with the ground chicken she bought. All stuff from garden... 1015 onion and tops, new potatoes, jalapeño, red quadrati di asti bell pepper, celery, and herbs.

I did sneak in a tiny bit of sausage. Don't tell on me.

Day before yesterday. Alligator pasta, covered with ground chicken in red gravy. No, the pasta is not made from alligator. The pasta is shaped like tiny little alligators.

I had no food in the house. Didn’t do any shopping. I scrounged around and came up with a handful of cherry tomatoes, some aged Gouda cheese, and eggs. So I seared the tomatoes with a pinch of red pepper flakes until blistered, added a pinch of sugar, and let the tomatoes break down into a sauce. I put in a good pinch of Spanish smoked paprika and immediately took it off the heat. I made the omelette and added some grated Gouda just before I folded it. The whole plate was delicious. Not bad.
