dinner saturday, 11/6
- Thread starter luvs
- Start date
I have been feeling lousy for about 1 1/2 weeks. But I really want to do the Chinese challenge this week. So 2 days ago I asked hub to shop because well I just didn't feel like going out. He got everything but the most important ingredient - The MEAT!! LOL And I forgot to put 1 ingredient on the list also. Yesterday it was a beautiful day so we all went out and both ingredients were bought but we had a big lunch while out and a light dinner. I am shooting for Sub gum chicken chow mein and jasmine rice (maybe fried rice). I have high hopes as of now. LOL Have a great day everyone!!
PSSSST it's 11/6 sweetie.

I fired up the smoker, ribs and a small brisket. Fuel is Cowboy lump and apple chips. I used McCormick pork rub on the ribs and made a hodge-podge rub for the brisket. Mop is brown sugar, apple cider, apple jack liquor and clarified butter.
I'll get some cut pics later.

Oh gosh, that look so good, Jeeks. I can almost smell the wonderful aroma of the flavorful wood burning. Peeps, I hope your family pitches in today and helps...we are all looking forward to a picture of another one of your beautiful dinners. We just got home from an Amigos de Bucerias meeting (that's our local nonprofit community service group) and had a big breakfast there, so it is hard to think about food right now. I 'll do something with chicken, though. Maybe chicken fingers with fries...
Lookin' Good
Lou and I are celebrating the restaurant tonight
First course is seared sea scallops on watercress with lemon aioli
Dinner is slow roasted rib eye with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and sauteed asparagus.
Not sure what the cocktail is, but I believe we're having a clos dubois merlot with dinner.
I'm making a pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting as soon as I get off the computer. (not to be mistaken with getting the computer off
)

Sounds delicious, Vera. Isn't it interesting that those of us who love to prepare food end up celebrating by preparing a wonderful and comforting meal? You have both worked so hard. Congratulate yourselves and enjoy.

Me too! Do you suppose she and Lou would mind if we crashed their celebratory dinner. Sheesh - she's cooking a whole roast, right? Doesn't the pumpkin cake sound good?
Instead, we're having fried chicken breasts, coleslaw, mac and cheese and some green beans cooked with bacon. I think it'll be good, but not as good as what's being served at Vera's place.
I'm making a big pot of conch and clam chowder so that'll be our soup/veggie dish. In addition, I picked up a boneless pork loin Florentine from the Publix butcher that looks mighty good. I'll post some pix when it's ready to serve.

BBQ country ribs, sweet 'taters and Mama's recipe cole slaw.
Lovely, LS! We're having coleslaw too, GJ - the Colonel's recipe (more or less).

Good looking grub, everyone!
Grilled a couple steaks, made a mushroom sauce for them, had some leftover wild rice and asparagus too.
(If you haven't noticed, I REALLY like mushrooms and do a lot of them as sauces and gravies!)

Good job, Peeps! And Buzz, that looks plenty showy to me. And also delicious. We ended up with pure comfort food: fried B/S chicken breast, gravy, mac and cheese, green beans and coleslaw. I think I finally found a way to make coleslaw that we both like. I'll post the recipe soon.
