What's on the menu Sunday, 6/27/2021 to Saturday, 7/3/2021?

[Sass Muffin]

I had the lunch platter chimichanga at Azul Tequila.
Probably won't have much to eat the rest of the day.

Also went grocery shopping and found Chili-o to use later in the week to make the chili recipe.

What's the topping for the rice?

 

[Embryodad]

Boston Market meatloaf dinners for supper tonight.
Tina will pick up on the way home from her uncles.

 

[Ironman]

Cheeseburgers on the grill and onion rings. I was gonna go to A&W to fill up my jug with root beer but never made it.

 

[Embryodad]

Well guess what? .... No meatloaf dinners at Boston market. Darn!....

 

[lilbopeep]

rotisserie chicken, Stouffer's baked mac and cheese

I didn't care for the baked ac and cheese. It was a bit dry. Chicken bones, skin and bits will be stock for soup tomorrow with the leftover chicken.

 

[Johnny West]

Tonight was the steamed Dungeness crab. I never got a picture of the sides… steamed broccoli, cauliflower, and for me, beet tops. We made a mess. Tomorrow night will be crab cakes with the leftovers and a can of Marino’s canned crab.

 

[Embryodad]

It was tomato and cheese sandwiches.

the Pan Drippings ; buttery, garlic-y heaven

 

[Sass Muffin]

Right now the plan is cheese tortellini in vodka sauce - and a salad.

 

[lilbopeep]

Cool, rainy day. Only 64F. Good day to make soup. Chicken stock is cooking.
PLUS, I will have several breakfasts and lunches ready to go.

 

[Embryodad]

Cool here too. 64F windows open; a/c off.
Looks like hot dogs tonight . That could change if DD cooks after work. ??? It depends.

Lee.... I'll never forget the first time We ate crabs. My brother brought them up from Maryland in big coolers.
He set 6 rolls of paper towels on the table. The tables were covered with newspapers, and all 14 of us had a little wooden hammer.
At the end of each table, he placed two garbage cans with liner bags. I asked, "why all this Rich?" He said you'll see Jim!"
Well.....he was right; what a mess. He gave us a demonstration of how to crack them open them, and eat them.
He ate the "dead mans'; we did N O T !" And would you believe, My wife didn't like the crab cakes he made, because there was too much crab meat in them. I fell off my chair when I heard that.

DD cooked today some ravioli, and mussels in a wine and butter sauce.
Pineapple cake for dessert.

Looks good JW.
Your picture is 4,000+ pixels, that's why it took a while to load. If you resize to smaller amount of pixels, it will load faster. IMHO

Johnny mentioned Mama Leone's - brought back fond memories of when I lived on west 80th in the sixties - We would eat at Mama's on 48th street at least once a month ! Being a Country boy, I was amazed that going from table to table asking diners if they wanted "more Parmesan" was an occupation, lol ! There is where I learned that there was much more to "Italian" cooking than Spaghetti , lol !
Unfortunately , we never got to meet "Mama" - she sold the place to a consortium around 1960..........

Love everything on the plate! Did you fry the falafel? Was it spicy?

No, it was not spicy. it was a Trader Joe’s box mix and she baked them. They were a little dry on the outside, tender on the inside, and tasted good. The crab cakes were excellent.
