Tonight (Thursday) I had friends over and I made a Billy Cheese-Chick sandwich, my version of a Philly. Chicken instead of steak, poblanos instead of bell peppers, colby jack cheese, roasted garlic aioli. I made a couple on rolls, a couple on tortillas. Sort of a Mexican version. Came out pretty good.
Friday is Indian- tandoori style chicken leg quarters with an Indian sweet potato side.
I've got people on Saturday and I'm going a little eclectic. Appetizer is Turkish- a gozleme - it's a Turkish flatbread folded around a spinach and cheese filling and pan fried. The main is a Suya pork tenderloin with a rub of spices and brown sugar. I'm gonna sous vide and pan sear. Making a coconut curry rice and charred string beans, with the beans having the same spices as the pork. Dessert is a vanilla bean buttermilk panna cotta with honey and cherries.
Sunday, I have an eggplant around, so I'm gonna make a Cajun eggplant and shrimp bake from Emeril, which I've made before. The game will be at 6:30 AM here, so I'll also be making a few cups of coffee.
What are you all up to?
Tomorrow is Tacos. Chicken and Fish (tuna, tilapia and salmon). I have all these different taco sauces in my cabinet. I finally get to try them out. Nothing Fancy to go with them just slaw for the fish and some pico.
Sunday dinner is smoked pork shoulder with potato salad and slaw
Saturday grilled NY Strip, roasted potatoes, sauteed escarole with garlic and oil and a drizzle of balsamic, sauteed mushrooms with garlic and jalapeno.
Sunday, orrechiette with sausage, broccoli rabe
Hellraiser (Hulu) dropped today? Color me enthused. It’s gotten good reviews.

Saturday, I am thinking country fried steak with black pepper gravy, sour cream chive mashers, and garlic, bacon roasted green beans.
Sunday, for the game doing Taylor ham and egg sandwiches on hard rolls (like Kaisers but lighter inside and crusty outside) and hash brown potatoes. For dinner I may just order some extra pizza tonight for leftovers.
The tandoori chicken sounds great I love Indian cuisine. And the panna cotta sounds like a great idea.

All sounds good, DG. You gonna pull the pork with bbq sauce?

Hey, Victor. Everything "simple" and elegant. Monk fish is the one that tastes like lobster?

I haven't had Sunday gravy in tooooo long. The only time I really have enough people to make it for is when my dtr is over, but they have gluten and dairy problems, so it put a crimp on the meatballs.
Mrs. Googs made her cheeseburger sliders for tonight which are just fabulous. She sears the meat in a frying pan, sautes some onions and makes a topping sauce and combines the whole thing onto soft rolls and finishes off in the oven to mesh the flavors. Superb.
Tomorrow is Auburn-Georgia game at 3:30 so it's party-time at our neighbor's house. Pulled pork and sides galore including slaw, collards and jalapeno mac n cheese all on the menu. I've got the bourbon & wine covered for the group so nothing else on our end to deal with which is nice. Assuming a late night as 'Bama kicks off at 8pm and we'll keep the fire pit going until that is settled. My favorite time of year in the south, without question.
Be nice to have the Giants put up a good showing early from London. Will need to do a light meal after all the meat this week. Maybe a nice salad on Sunday...
Wow!
I hope you have a great experience. Pretty sure someone else mentioned that spot a while back.

Yes, the "poor man's lobster". curls up when cooked, looks like a lobster tail

I'm dying to make a big pot of red lead. Have veal bones in th freezer, a flank steak for bracciole, and ground veal, pork and beef for Mrs. in CTs meatballs. just need to pick up some hot and sweet sausage from Angelo's, and have our kids and maybe some more company here. It's too much food for just the 2 of us.

That's all stuff I would love, Scott. Country fried steak is another thing that Mrs. in UT, who "eats everything" won't eat, lol.
The tandoori chicken was good, but it doesn't duplicate the real thing. Maybe it's me. I like to leave a good coating of the yogurt marinade on for flavor, but it keeps the meat from charring enough. Maybe I'll try wiping it all off before roasting or grilling and hit it with some dry spices, or maybe I'll just go with plain chicken with a gochugang glaze, or something like that.

All sounds great, Jimmy. Enjoy the games
My mother couldn't cook for shit, Rob, but the only 2 things she made well were with cabbage- soup and stuffed cabbage. I still make both from time to time. Cabbage is really underappreciated. I also use it in slaw, on tacos, mixed with mayo, in some Asian dishes and also in some other mains that I can't think of at the moment that don't seem to go with cabbage, but really do.
Curious why the Mrs. UT does not like CFS? Is it the carb factor or just not her thing? I use Bob’s Red Mill flour Paleo or King Arthur keto wheat for breading and roux for my wife.
Enjoy the game hopefully you can record it in your time zone.

Congratulations. The 5th anniversary theme is "wood", so you might want to start looking for a great bbq place :)
Perfect.
Sounds delicious, Drew. I assume the bacon far gives you a crust on the eggs like oil would. I've gone to frying sunny side up eggs with a lid on the pan (it's convenient that I have glass lids) so that the steam cooks the whites before the yolks get overdone. Don't have to flip them. Coincidentally, I saw a short ATK video on Instagram this morning, cooking about 8 SSU eggs with the lid on, for a group. Then just cuts them into pairs.
Ya never know

Thanks, Scott. and with the CFS, just not her thing. Maybe she doesn't like breaded meat. She likes eggplant parm, but not chicken parm. Doesn't like schnitzel, either. I think maybe I'll make schnitzel next week :) But then, she likes fried chicken, so who knows. Ain't gonna try to figger out wimmens.
