What's for Dinner, Thurs., Oct. 9, 2014

[NJCher]

Office day at home, so I'm cleaning out the frig. I'll be fixing little bits and bites of this, that, and the other thing, so I think it will be called a "grazing" day. No official dinner.

Now, question of the day: The RG is going to Paris today. What culinary item shall I ask him to bring me? Don't want chocolates.

1. Italian Sausages and Kraut.

Just took the Sausages off the grill, gosh they smell good.

2. Ribeyes, potatoes, grape tomatoes.

They had all-natural grassfed ribeyes on sale for $9.99/lb. My housemate is going to grill them and roast the potatoes on the grill too.

3. Curried eggplant and onions, Calcutta potatoes, apricot-raisin chutney and banana raita

No clue about Paris Cher....I've never been there, but pastries sound good to me .

4. Torpedo

otherwise known as Italian sloppy Joes. Named for the style of bun it is served in. More spicy and garlicky than the sugary traditional Joes.

Cher: I'd tell RG to grab some truffles, but he wouldn't get within 200 feet of an aircraft before French customs would nab him!

5. Another hamburger.

Again on a pretzel bun. Salad.

6. Golytely and lemon jello.

I have a Colonoscopy in the morning.

13. Awesome!

I'll be over for breakfast in a few!

14. No hash browns, but they had biscuits and gravy. YUM!

7. Roasted veggies - New potatoes, beets, onion, zucchini, broccoli, garlic. Canola oil, pepper & salt.

I'm going to add some cherry tomatoes and shave sharp cheddar over the top when all is done. Left overs will make a great side for another meal, hopefully.

8. Baked pork chops, zucchini & mixed potatoes...

we had sworn off potatoes but I bought a bag of mixed fingerlings and I can't wait to eat them!

9. Angel hair pasta ...

with a Cherokee Purple heirloom tomato, shallots, basil pesto, fresh chopped oregano and basil, and a ton of garlic.

11. How about petit fours?

The can have chocolate, but they're more like minicakes. Will travel well, too.

Our dinner was a quick pork stir fry, Italian style: cubed pork, onions, Japanese eggplant from the garden, can of roasted diced tomatoes, garlic, and some olive tapenade, Italian seasonings. Served over rice. Super fast, super yummy!
