What's on the menu NCT Sunday 8/19/12 - Saturday 8/25/12?

Yep! just that simple. The slices have to be extremely thin, and fortunately my mandolin almost shaves taters on the first setting. I then lightly sprayed my microwave bacon tray (with raised ridges) with cooking spray so they don't stick, and laid the slices on it. Sprinkled some sea salt on them and pop in the microwave. I ordered the silicone trays which won't need any spray, but not the mandolin. I think you might be able to do this on a SilPat, but I'm not sure. This is what I'm getting. Two trays for $30. Yeah, they're expensive, but I'll give one as a Christmas gift to one of the kids.

Made some sliders tonight.
Good with lots of squooshy mayo!!
Then I got sort of punished. Avalanche happened, and Tinas strawberry sauce went Oooops!
I left it there while I ate first, Tina cleaned it up!
there could have been an elephant taking a dump in the kitchen, and I would make sure I ate first before I ran for the shovel. Hey! "S" Happens!!

We met one of the local Pampered Chef representatives at out county fair last week, and were introduced to microwave potato chips. Me and DW both like the flavor, so I came home, got out the mandolin slicer and came up with these chips. I just sprinkled them with sea salt and baked for 4 minutes on high in my 1,000W microwave. Your time may vary based on wattage. Now I want to try them with sweet potatoes.
Batch #1
Batch #2
Mmmm WOW! YUM!

Tonight I tried my hand at making salmon with crispy skin.
Seared it in a cast iron pan, then finished it in the oven.
To my great surprise, it came out pretty darn good!
First time I've had salmon with crispy skin, but it won't be
the last.

That sounds good Cooksie!I've got all the stuff to make crab rangoon won ton cups (gonna use fake crab). Something else too, but I don't know yet
I like that fake crab stuff. What I do, is I cook it in a cream sauce or in tomato sauce with a splash of cream to make a Rose' sauce. I then take two forks, and press it into some of the fake stuff so it looks like shredded crabmeat.
I do that with shrimp to when I make shrimp salad.
This was lunch, leftover tomato, corn and basil soup.
It's a recipe of Dr. Andrew Weil's, very tasty and healthy.
As for dinner.. gosh, I have no idea as yet.
Maybe fried fish and a salad.

I gotta try those chips.
We had skirt steak cooked on the cast iron stove top grill, stir fried veggies (fresh garlic, carrot, celery, bok choy cooked in grapeseed oil) and buttered jasmine rice last night.
Tonight we had homemade lentil soup with brown rice.
Later DD #2 wants me to make cheddar bay biscuits.

Tina brought some tomatoes from friends garden, and stopped at Anthony & Sons Bakery and picked up a crusty loaf of bread.
I had bread and butter, and a couple tomato chunks with salt.
That was it.
Tina had meatloaf from Cracker Barrel. She and her friend went there for lunch.
I have a nice peppers / onions / potatoes and ham cooking for a egg frittata with ham diced fine and I will shave some Locatelli Romano on top. We will pick on that later, and if there is any leftover, we will have it for breakfast tomorrow.
I'll take a pic when it's done.

Well I must say dat Tony an da boys do a nice job on a loaf of bread. Just need a bowl of Sunday gravy wit a glass of dago red an you died and went to heaven.
We had my wife's best friend over for dinner (Italian girl...Lapa), so I served up my 4-cheese & spinach ravioli with red gravy, homemade sausage and meatballs, and whipped up some baguettes to push it all around the plate. DW's friend said my sauce was da bomb! I was beaming, dontcha know. DW made a tomato and cuke salad, and her friend brought a Dutch apple pie from Baker's Square for dessert. I took pictures of dinner, but there was a smudge on the lens of my iPhone, so they were garbage. But I did catch the bread when they came out of the oven.

We'll be feasting on catered in goodies from Panera Bread today!
A thank you from the administrator for a job well done on state inspection.

Sounds good and I have more of the fake crab to use up.
Right now I'm having an Italian sandwich (ham, salami, provolone, lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, pepperoncinis, and Italian dressing) on a scali roll. Those rolls are ggrreeeaaat! They just looked good, so I picked them up on a whim. Sure glad I did!

Thank you Jimmy. These were my first try at these biscuits so I followed the copycat recipe I found online. I will be playing with it and try to convert it to all fresh ingredients.
I am going to try using my homemade garlic butter next time. (My garlic butter recipe is posted here already)
I am undecided on dinner tonight.
DD wants pancakes for dinner.
I was wanting to make a meal mom would make when meatless meals were needed - pasta cooked in lentil soup with tomato sauce added. The pasta soaks up the soup broth and tomato sauce (you don't have to drain it).
We shall see.
