Tonight's dinner...strip steak and

[johnnie]

Blue cheese stuffed baby portabellas on the grill.

You?

[johnnie]

1. It's really good!

I am sad that none of you get to eat tonight. My thoughts are with you. :(

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. My dear johnnie!

Hey sweetie!

I was going to make a corned beef and all the trimmings...

But just about the time I had to have been starting it, I had to lie down and take a nap!

I was just too damned tired to do it...

And I still need to go to the store! So...we'll be eating a nice bordelaise marinated tri tip steak...

Plus assorted vegetables and so on...

I haven't gotten that far yet!

Your dinner sounds wonderful...Bon appetit!

:toast:

[johnnie]

4. Man, I love corned beef

I just hate when I buy this huge chunk of meat and when it's done it shrinks down to half a sandwich. But your dinner sounds good as is!

3. It's calzone friday at the Carton house.

[johnnie]

5. Homemade calzones?

Would love to have the recipe if so?

Enjoy your food!

[SidneyCarton]

26. Yep, homemade.

We use the Pizza dough recipe from the Breadmaker we own, and add Tomato sauce (which I season) Pepperoni, Sausage and copious amounts of Mozzarella Cheese, they're realllly good.

[Forkboy]

6. Beer.

[johnnie]

7. Sounds good

Will be partaking in a bit.

24. Beer stuffed man.

:toast:

8. Had some meat pushing the date in fridge

So the smoker is a'smoking 2 delmonacos and a london broil.

I hope to be able to use my new slicer on the roast and have sandwich meat to freeze.

Oh, and taters/onions with parsley/pepper/garlic/rosemary olive oil tin foiled up in the propane grill.

Tryin not to drink tonight. I forgot how good beer goes with gardening and fire :D

:toast:

[johnnie]

11. Oh man!

That all sounds good. I keep putting off a smoker, I've got to make the move.

[trof]

9. Fried Spam salad.

Well, we pretty much wanted a salad.
But I wanted something 'on' it.
Strips of fried SPAM!
:-)

[johnnie]

12. I am one of those who like Spam

Especially fried Spam. Haven't had it in a while, but I need to get me some. Have fun...

[hippywife]

10. Homemade pizza!

Those mushrooms sound fantastic, tho! :9

[johnnie]

13. First time I made the mushrooms that way

They were friggin' great. I took the baby portabellas and sprinkled them with olive oil with garlic salt and pepper. Then just put bleu cheese in them and put them on the grill. Gonna be a staple here now.

I just started making my own pizzas about 6 months ago. I use my iron skillet and they turn out great. Is that yours up there? It looks good!

[hippywife]

14. Yep.

We just finished eating it. :9

I love bleu cheese so much I only consider whatever I eat it on the carrier. :rofl:

[johnnie]

15. I dig

I buy the tub of bleu cheese and barley get to use it in dishes because I keep taking spoonfuls of it..lol.

Make your own crust? That's what I was worried about the most, and now I do it all the time. it's not that bad.

[hippywife]

17. The crust I use

is the Artisan in Five Minutes a Day basic recipe tweaked as follows but instead of 6.5 cups of AP flour I use 4 cups bread flour, 1 cup white whole wheat and 1.5 cups semolina and add a little more water. Works great, and gets even better the older the dough gets.

[Inchworm]

16. You rip the stalk out and fill cap?

Just curious. I loves me some shrooms and I loves me some bleu cheese.

:hi:

[johnnie]

18. Actually I bought these without the stalk

There were 6 shrooms in the pack and I used 3. But usually I take out the insides and use them in the stuffing.

[Inchworm]

19. Ahhh so it is the 4-6 inch caps?

Hehe.. I once got a notion to create a vegitarian hamburger-ish thing and used 6"+ caps as buns. Filled with a mix of stuff.

The bun idea was fail, but the taste... Gah! :9

:hi:

[johnnie]

21. Naw

These are about 2". Little baby ones. Awwwwwwwwwww

[Shell Beau]

20. That sounds good! But replace the blue cheese with gouda!!

:9

We are having ribeyes, baked potatoes, salad, and garlic bread!

[johnnie]

22. Gouda would be good too,, and probably not as rich

Your dinner sounds great also! Ribeyes on the grill?

[Shell Beau]

23. Of course! My husband loves to grill.

He would grill everyday if I let him!

[lutefisk]

25. Bagel, cream cheese, tomato, onion (Vidalia), and lox.

Now that I think about it, that would have been more appropriate as lunch.
