[suziquzie]

Heehee I love this! :wub:
I took a turkey out to thaw on Saturday. It's time has come.
and you???

[JoeV]

You are such a non-conformist. No wonder you fit in so well here. It's like you enjoy pissing people off just for the shock factor.:yum:

It's DS's birthday, so we're going out for Chinese.

[chowhound]

I'm going to grill those brats I thawed yesterday and make sandwiches with fried onions, peppers, potatoes, and some roasted garlic.

[PanchoHambre]

I think tonight will be a some spaghetti w/marinara and a salad... been eatin too much pork lately need a break

[sattie]

Tacos!!!!!!! Tacos!!!!! Tacos!!!!!! YEA!

[Doc]

I've no idea at this point. The brats sound good but I don't have any at home. I'll post later once it's all said and done/ eaten.

[joec]

I'm only on my 4th cup of coffee so that tells me it is too early to think about dinner.

We're having the pork we were supposed to have last night...

Unless... another meeting gets in the way

[joec]

I just checked my pantry and have all the ingredients so I will try out Lilly's Beef Stroganoff with perhaps a twist or two.

[smoke king]

Just kidding-shes a sweetheart!

[homecook]

City Chicken

1 lb. pork, cubed
1 lb. veal, cubed
flour
2 eggs
milk
seasoned bread crumbs
salt and pepper
6" skewers

Alternately skewer pork and veal cubes. Season with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, dip in egg/milk mixture, dredge in bread crumbs. Refrigerate for about 1 hour.
Saute skewers in hot oil to brown. Put in roaster or casserole dish, with about 1 inch of water, covered for first 1/2 hour. Bake for 1 hour at 350. You may want to flip them over after about 45 minutes to check doneness and to crisp up the other side.

HEY! How'd you get my mom's city chicken recipe? :lol:
That stuff is awesome. It makes the best gravy, too.
Great sounding dinner.

joec, maybe it's a regional dish in the northeast/midwest. We had quite a discussion on another forum about chicken and biscuits. It seems the southerners have quite a different definition. Whereas us notherners know it's shredded chicken with veggies and gravy served on biscuits. Like a stew. Not fried chicken served with biscuits :wink:

[joec]

Interesting and also sounds good too, especially since it doesn't use chicken.

Let me know what ya change.
And how you like it. I'm always up for new ways to try stuff:thumb::thumb:

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Copied and will be tried soon! Or as soon as I can find some veal. I can never seem to get any around here.

Tomorrow, left-overs! :sad:

[chowhound]

Veal is tough to come by here, too, Lily.
All pork will work, but if you can get the veal, too.......
Most of the deli counters around here have them premade even. Just add your own breading.

[lilylove]

but...I wanna baby cow to munch on! It's so good and tender and tasty!!!!

I will probably brown the meat in butter a little bit before it gets the rest added to it and perhaps a bit of red wine to deglaze it a bit. I am using a small onion and 3 small shallots. As for seasoning I will add some tarragon and thyme and leave out katchup. I will be adding a teaspoon of demi glace that I just bought and probably a bit less Worcestershire perhaps 2 table spoons.

[lilylove]

Sounds goooood to me!!! ENJOY!!!!!!!! Butter can never be a bad thing!

[homecook]

Most places around here just sell the pork and skewers and call it city chicken. I don't care for them with just pork. Alot of times I have to ask for veal cubes. There is a butcher here that sells the pork and veal already skewered but they are pricy. I prefer to make them myself.
And how could I forget the gravy!! That's why we're having mashed taters with them.

Barb

[suziquzie]

Gotta stay true to form and change my dinner.
:)
Turkey seems to need another day to thaw, so I took out some pork chops and will have them over carmelized onions and stuffing, then swiss cheese melted on top.

[lilylove]

Suzi...I wanna come to your house!

[suziquzie]

well dry off your pretty new hair and get over here, you got 2 hours.
:)

[lilylove]

LOL!! I can hardly get to the airport iin that time. Guess I'll have to make my own!

[Doc]

Quiche was served at my house tonight. One of my least favorite meals. I skipped the quiche and had a BLT. :thumb:

[joec]

It turned out great Lily. :applause:

I made the changes in that I added a bit more seasoning such as thyme and tarragon. I didn't use the Ketchup but did use the demi glace. I browned the meat in butter then deglazed it with a bit of dry sherry added the beef broth, onion/shallot combo, etc. Used corn starch in stead of the flower (same effect I assume as a thickener). Served it over egg noodles and it was great. Oh and for the meat I cut down a chuck roast into stir fry sizes which turned out very tender. Did cook it the total 90 minutes though which was perfect.

[lilylove]

YummY Joe!! I'm going to have to try it your way. Sounds like it has much more flavor!!

I like quiche, if its full of meat and cheese and not tons of veggies!! In fact, if you look closely you might think it was a meat pie!:yum:

[High Cheese]

We had Spe git ee and a Hot a Meeta balls za.

I never even heard of quiche when I was growing up. And them I started hearing comments like, "Real programmers don't eat quiche." I finally tried it when I was about 40, and quickly realized it was just like my Mom's Ham and Egg Pie I had eaten all my life!! Had even made it myself a number of times, got the recipie memorized.

BTW, was disappointed by my Dijon Sirloin Tips last night. Couldn't get sirloin tips, substituted round steak chunks, the only substitute Publix had yesterday. Kinda tasteless and a lot of work compared to the Chicken Dijon recipie from the heart healty cookbook. But DD wanted it for her and her boyfriend, she had found the recipie in a magazine and cut it out, been wanting it for weeks. So I didn't want to disappoint her.

Early this morning (well, early for ME, about 9:30 am), I took some fresh green beans, chopped onion, carrots and tiny little potatoes and put them in the crockpot with a cup of chicken broth. To put on top of that I took some chunks of pork that I think are pork loin - they were labeled "lomo de cerdo" and coated them with seasoned flour and got them very brown. It smells really good cooking and if it tastes good, I'll give it a name.

[chowhound]

Yep. I guess I'll be changing to wings for dinner.
The brats didn't make it past lunch :biggrin:

[joec]

How do you make your brats chowhound? I have my own way of making them but cooking the brats with onion and bell peppers in a beer bath on low heat for about 30 to 40 minutes then grilling the brats. Use the onions and peppers with mustard as a topping.

[chowhound]

I grill them 99.9% of the time, Joe. A few packages ago I simmered them in beer, then dumped the liquid and added EVOO to color them up, but I still did the peppers, onions and potatoes separate. Sometimes I use spicy mustard, but the buttered and toasted roll, the roasted garlic and the juice from the peppers is usually all I need.

[joec]

Thanks ch. I like the spice mustards myself for brats.
