This will be my last thread for a couple of weeks, we're going on a cruise from Barcelona to Lisbon, after a 3 day stop in London, next Tuesday. So it's a short week for me. Today I made a rack of lamb. I've done it several ways, with herb crusts, with chimmichuri sauce or fresh mint sauce, sous vide and then seared. I went back to my favorite way, smeared with a mayo/dijon mix topped with panko, roasted, then served with extra mayo/dijon on the side. Made it with another favorite, acorn squash filled with butter and brown sugar. Tomorrow, Friday, is chicken tikka masala with garam masala glazed carrots. Sunday is an Emeril dish- blackened fish with a butter lemon sauce and a side of quick cooked cabbage. Saturday is a wine pairing dinner with friends. It's Greek themed and I'm tasked with dessert. I'm not a huge phyllo fan, so I found a ricotta/honey crustless cheesecake that I'm gonna try. Pairing it with a Muscato dessert wine. Monday, clearing out some leftovers.
What are you all up to?
Tomorrow is fried catfish with fries and onion rings. They'll defrost tonight, marinate in seasoned buttermilk tomorrow morning, dipped in seasoned breading (a flour, cornmeal and cornstarch combo with seafood seasoning), and fried in hot peanut oil till golden brown.
Sunday dinner is pork milanese. Using cutlets instead of boneless chops. Less work. They should be defrosted by the timeni get home tonight. Then I brine them, marinated them in, you guessed it, seasoned buttermilk tomorrow night. Sunday it's breadcrumbs and hot peanut oil. Serving them with polenta and blanched broccoli rabe
Enjoy your trip Bill.
taking advantage of the great weather here. simple grilled Salmon here tonught, salt, pepper, olive oil and lemon. yellow rice, and mesclun salad with lemon vinagrette.

Back, maybe in my 30s, oats were supposedly the next big thing to lower cholesterol. So I ate them often for about a year, I used to make little muffins that I ate while playing golf. Anyway, after a year my neither my cholesterol nor golf numbers improved at all, so I dumped the oats. Wasn't smart enough at the time to dump the golf also, that took another 30 years, lol. Enjoy your fish and cutlets.
Enjoy your trip Bill.
Thanks, Chuck. Soounds like you and DG are on the same page with the pork. I think you, me and Drew may be the only ones who like cabbage :)
Linking a Guy Fieri recipe for Jaegerschnitzel with mushroom gravy for you. You're welcome :)

Thanks, Victor. Everything sounds great, happy b'day to Mrs. in CT. Enjoy the concert, I just heard Beyond the Sea on the radio the other day
Don't laugh, man. It got a 98% rating on Food Network. I've actually made it, I gave it a Favorite rating, not my top. Enjoy yours.
I don't know what your issues are and I won't give you advice. But I will recount the old saying that if you're in your doctor's office and want nutritional advice you're best off asking the receptionist. Most doctors know next to nothing about diet, they only regurgitate the propaganda from the big disease organizations. I had a checkup the other day, my cholesterol was up a little. My doctor starting giving me guidelines from the American Heart Association. I told him they don't know shit and he just smiled. They were wrong forever about eggs, they were wrong about butter/margarine. There is almost no reason on earth, regardless of what your issues are, that you have to confine your diet to salads. Do your own research.
oh, I know that. Don't worry about it. I didn't even expect you to look at the recipe
Spending tomorrow in Manhattan, will try to hit Katz’s.

YES!! Bill in UT for President!!!! Spot on. AHA told us that salted vaseline is better than natural butter for our health. Right.
Balance, moderation and real (not processed) foods. Like Mom and Grandmas taught us.

Thanks, Chuck. I took a look at that and then some other recipes. I think I've come up with something I'm gonna try. Going with homemade dough rather than PP, which I think will be flakier than I want. Funny, going back to my tablet, I saw I had made my own recipe for mini knishes in wonton wrappers which I really liked. I'll keep those as an appetizer, these will be as a side dish. The day I get home from my trip I'm making burgers, so I'll give this a try with them.

I hope you had good time and didn't wait long. I stopped by Tuesday evening just to get a hotdog and the line to get in was a quarter of the block. SMH, damn you early week club kids
Best if I say nothing
