NFT: What are you eating this week(end)?

Bill in UT : 9/22/2023 7:30 pm
I'm a little late, but I didn't want to post following the game last night. Tonight we're playing bridge with friends and making dinner. We switch houses about every month and she's a great cook, and also great at presentation, which is not in my repertoire. Mrs. in UT decided she'd like Steak Diane, whcih we haven't had in ages, so I went French. For apps we're having toasted ciabatta with a good smear of European butter and a couple of anchovies. Also, brie, baked right in it's wood box, with caramelized onions and honey on top. Dinner is the Steak Diane, made with pounded shrip steak, Duchesse potatoes (whipped with butter and cream, then made into mounds with a pastry bag and star tip and browned in the oven) and simple pan-fried fennel. Dessert is a Geoffrey Zakarian recipe for crepes stuffed wih a ricotta/lemon filling, with powdered sugar, honey and chocolate syrup on top. Serving a Boulevardier cocktail- bourbon, sweet vermouth and Campari.
Tomorrow my nephew is coming for dinner, so I'm making him ribs with a gochujang glaze and cole slaw.
Sunday is Kol Nidre, and Mrs. in UT is making her usual chicken soup, roasted chicken and chocolate mousse.
What are you all up to?

For me…tonight W made buffalo chicken pizza. Instead of basic buffalo chicken, butcher had buffalo chicken sausage that we used.

Tomorrow is Coulotte steak. Never made it so probably just a quick sear in the cast iron.

Sunday I’m smoking chicken. Maybe some baked mashed potatoes with it. Haven’t smoked meat in a while. Psyched for it.

Annual Greek Festival here in town.

Last night was a gyro with fries and a Greek salad, rice pudding and plenty of ouzo and white wine. Tomorrow more of the same. Moussaka and spanakopita instead of gyro. Weather not so great today and tomorrow though so takeout will be the way to go.
My weekend cook off

I've just made coulotte once. Iirc, you have to slice the steaks right and form them into a U shape and pin them. Lots of people really love that cut, tho.

Greek is always good. We eat a lot of eggplant, and moussaka is a great way to go with it. Just too much left over with the 2 of us, so I don't do it very often. Too bad about the weather.

Enjoy it. I'm pretty sure some said that they were making that last week.
Didn't

think we were gonna have a thread this week. Yesterday started with a mini bag of pretzels. I had a craving since I haven't eaten them in ages and the vending machine at work had them. Very salty. I'm sticking to soft pretzels. No not Auntie Anne's. I find their pretzels mediocre. I do however lover their lemonade. Perfect balance of tart and sweet. But I digress. Lunch was....nothing. It was so busy I never had time to eat so I made up for it with franks and beans when I got home.

Today is sausage and pepper heroes. 6 links, 1 onion, 3 peppers and 3 lightly toasted rolls coming together to make 3 delicious sandwiches. And they were

Sunday dinner is chili. I keep it simple. Ground turkey, roasted then pureed tomatoes, onions and garlic (half roasted half chopped) beans, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Served over rice with biscuits on the side
hey, DG

Sorry to throw your timing off this week :) Going with hot or mild sausage? Biscuits with chili instead of cornbread? Must be a Queens thing
