Dinner tonight was tilalpia. It came out really good from the air fryer. I did my standard coating thing (the same thing I do for chicken and pork). Cover it in flour, dip it in scrambled raw egg, then drag it through some panko bread crumbs with salt and pepper mixed in. Sometimes I will spray with aerosolized oil, sometimes not. Tonight I didn't. Into the air fryer for 8 minutes at 375, no turning. My air fryer has heating elements on both the top and the bottom, so turning food halfway through like with most air fryers is optional. Made a sliced potato and onion mix as a side dish, wrapped that in foil with butter, and roasted it in the regular oven. Rounded things out with a tossed salad. We have a million tomatoes to eat now, so it's pretty much salad every night these days.
 
Wife was away, so it was just me.

1) Potatoes Tacitus (I made this up as I went, but it is based on Lyonnaise Potatoes):
  • Ingredients
    • Onion, large, cut up
    • Package of hash browns (I'm taking the easy way out)
    • 1/3 stick of butter (its what I had) and a comparable (maybe slightly less) amount of bacon grease.
    • salt, pepper and/or steak seasoning to taste
    • heaping teaspoon of jarred minced garlic (again, the easy way out)
  • Put all in a tin tray on the grill, and let it cook.
  • Add the garlic when it it is getting close.
2) Saratoga steak, medium rare (I had never heard of such a cut. It's basically a ribeye trimmed closely and reassembled and tied...kind of looked like a weird filet at that point, but with ribeye meat, not loin. My butcher had a bunch of them set out, and I was buying a bunch of random things, so I had him toss one in just to try it.)

3) Red wine.

Afterward, fire up the pipe and enjoy a bourbon and soda on the porch.

All and all...with college football on the TV, a very good bachelor day for me. :cool:
 
Weirdest dinner ever at my favorite cousin's place. Her (english) son brought two twelve packs of taco bell dorito chip tacos. Also had refried beans. I brought a big bowl of cut fruit and a chocolate plate. We also had church cookies, and an apricot platz with vanilla ice cream. I will have heartburn.
 
Alexandra made cashew chicken

Ribeyes, jasmine rice, broccoli and a Samuel Adams Boston Lager. French vanilla ice creme with crushed brownies on top for dessert.

Yeah, Sunday night dinners - my son comes over - are maybe a bit on the calorie indulgent side. The rice and broccoli were healthy at least.
 
Cowboy fare... beef & beans. Got some leftover steak to cut up and toss in with a can of Bush's Beans, probably have a nice tossed salad on the side. But first, a good breakfast with sausage patties and fried eggs on cheese toast, with country gravy to top it all off, lol... health food, don'tcha know? ;)
 
Yikes, Magus, hope it wasn't bad.
We had chicken breasts, green beans, acorn squash, fresh fruit, and texas toast.
Nah. extra day to clean out.
Tonight, trailer park no cook slobby joes.
2 cans of corned beef (NOT hash)
1 can of Manwich.
1/2 a fist-sized onion. diced
4 jalapenos. diced.
1 can of Carolina Meat loaf fixins.
1/2 a pack of crackers mix well. Put on buns, cover and let stand overnight.
