What Are You Having For Dinner

[Magus]

I did notice in the store that you can buy four-packs of those swing-top Grolsh bottles. That costs about the same as a six-pack of ones with regular bottle caps.

You can buy these bottles on Amazon. I bought some last year for my daughter to use for kombucha that she makes. These are 8oz:

Nice! time to start putting together a beer making kit!

So I messed up lunch today. I thought I defrosted pork loin, and was going to make breaded pork chops. But it was butt roast. I didn't have time to cook a proper butt roast, so I cut it up into chunks and fried it...it was chewy and didn't taste great. Oh well, I will do better tomorrow. Husband and son didn't complain...after all that road work they must have been hungry enough to eat whatever lol

Made burgers tonight.

 

[Haertig]

BBQ chicken and ... Spanish rice (?) What can I say - it was leftovers from Taco night the other day. Oddly enough, it kind of worked.

[sonya123]

Yesterday : pesto pasta with homemade pesto, I have tons of basil in the garden. It was good
Today: going to try to make green bean salad, goat chops and fries

 

[Bacpacker]

Pinto beans, fried taters, fresh canned banana peppers, last year spicy pickles, and a fresh mater.
Whew that was good

Today was our normal Sunday family dinner night. Our son drives up from his place to eat with us. Unfortunately our daughter lives too far away. Sometimes we set up a Zoom dinner so our daughter and her husband can join in. For those we use dinner trays in front of the large screen TV to eat on. I set up a webcam pointed at us and display the Zoom video on the big screen in front of us. Daughter and her husband do the same on their end. Usually they eat lunch while we eat dinner, due to the four hour time difference. We haven't done one of these Zoom dinners for a while. I need to set one up soon!

On the Traeger grill tonight: New York Strips, corn on the cob, portabella mushrooms, Anaheim peppers. Also a Caesar salad and Carlsberg pilsner (Danish) for me, and a Grolsh pilsner (Dutch) for my son. My wife doesn't do beer, so she had one of those flavored carbonated water drinks.

Temperature was high 70's (maybe low 80's) I'd guess. Wow, what a day and a great dinner!

That sounds so nice! I love the idea of a Zoom dinner.

Last night we had Mahi Mahi filets, a salad, corn on the cob and green beans. I cooked the Mahi Mahi with coconut aminos. It made a nice glaze on the fish.

 

[Tacitus]

Leftovers! Clean out that refrigerator!

 

[Bacpacker]

Egg roll in a bowl

 

[Haertig]

[ABR]

Had fireless s'mores for dessert/midnight snack

 

[Magus]

[Haertig]

Tonight I made some of those big 'ol salads - the ones with everything you can find in the house thrown in (I think they are called "chef's salads") My regular salads are pretty rich on the ingredient count, but tonight added hardboiled egg slices, fried chicken fingers, avocados, purple cabbage, bacon and other goodies like that. Heated up a loaf of Italian bread from the bakery and mixed up some olive oil with oregano, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, and other Italian-type ingredients to break off pieces of bread and dip in. And since I'm on this recent kick to try all kinds of new beers (prior to this quest I only had about one beer every two weeks) - I tried a Paulaner Hefe-Weizen. Normally I like beer as an appetizer while cooking stuff on the grill, but today I drank this one with the food, a salad even. But it was very drinkable and very good with the salad. I never would have expected that. And it's got one of the coolest looking labels I've seen, the colors look good together, makes me feel mellow (From a label on a bottle of beer? How weird am I ??)

I felt nauseous most of the day. I had a small Mac n cheese from chick-filet-a and 5 little chicken nuggets. For dinner I had an ear of corn.

 

[Peanut]

Plate of veggies from the garden, dad's cantaloupes are finally here, yea!!! i pan fried a burger then decided I didn't want bread, so i had a burger patty with some sauce on the side, with peas, greenbeans, okra, tomato slice and cantaloupe. Yum!

I bought three cantelope today. One for Hubby and I to eat and two to share with the grandkids. It’s a variety called Sugar Kiss. They are incredibly delicious.

 

[Tacitus]

Had one of those Costco Jap Chae noodle dishes.

The package was huge (upper left). Looked like it would feed a family. When I opened it up, it was a series of small packets in a plastic tray. The plastic tray made it look like more food than it was. It was barely enough to feed my wife and I, and she doesn't eat very much.

OK, but...it did taste great. A little of our last sriracha on it ( ), and it was spectacular.

Suggestions if you get this:

1. They have a second recipe, where you can add some seasoned rice to it, to make it go further. Definitely do that...at least, do that if you are Americans who like to eat well.
2. Fry an egg and drop it on top. That is an option in Korea, and it would also make this go so much further.

Those two suggestions would have made this a decent main dish.

Pizza and beer on a break from sorting all the squash zucchini and okra that I picked today. Gonna have lots of work over the weekend pickling and canning it all.

... I tried a Paulaner Hefe-Weizen. ...

A favorite of mine, although I don't actually buy it often. It was one of the first non-American-lagers I had after I moved out on my own. I remember not really knowing what I was ordering, but it was a great afternoon...sitting outside with a buddy in a new city I had just moved to, checking out the chicks while drinking a great summer beer with a unique taste.

Having one always takes me back to that day.

I am totally buying one this weekend!

I love Hefe-Weizen beers. Never had that brand. I'll try and find that. I'll always give a new wheat beer a shot
