What's on tonight's menu?

[brilac]

 

Having the manicotti mixed with avocado and shrimp, and Kombucha to drink.

[Twilight Sparkle]

Just made a prawn pasta out of butter, cream, cheese, and garlic herb (tarragon) butter with a pilsner and had it on the patio :D

[brilac]

Had the crab enchiladas with coffee. I'm totally stuffed! And skipped the dessert, and the wine is for later.  I'm going to go walk up Lombard St and over to Union Square or walk the waterfront.

Boring meals tonight and tomorrow (2 of my strict eating days of the week). But on Friday, will be making cheeseburgers with homemade brioche buns. Might take it a step further and make homemade potato chips as well.

 

Saturday will be rigatoni and wine.

[Monty]

Dinner (all made by me, as I'm a better cook than the wife):

 

- Hamburgers (ground beef myself)

- Homemade brioche hamburger bun

- Homemade spicy mayo

 

- Horchata to drink

 

- Beavertails for dessert

[brilac]

I'm having the vegan chocolate parfait with wine. 

 

I don't know about everyone else, but I can become a little nutty in the bakery and wine isles. I tend to speak out loud, like - oh yes! oh my goodness, super enticing! As I'm looking at the wine or dessert, and putting my finger on my jawline oohing and eying.

I'm not a big pancake guy, usuallly make Dutch Babies on Saturday's, but my wife likes pancakes, so I make it every few months. But this small batch turned out fantastic, as did the Horchata.

3 strict meal plan days. Yesterday was rough. But tonight, cooked rigatoni (with secret sauce) and chicken marsala:

Kids were over....made slow cooker Dr. Pepper/BBQ ribs, garlic bread, salad, corn, veg lasagna.   We were stuffed, these are the leftovers (there was also oreo cheesecake and blueberry lemon cake for dessert)

Any self respecting BBQ man or woman loves the Maillard reaction, where caramelized meat sugars are grilled seared, fried, or roasted on, and delicious.  This 17 oz steak isn't basted in oil or water or some other camera trick, but it was charcoal grilled it at 800 C for about 8 mins total (4 mins per side, high heat, lots of flips) for a good sear, then finished it off indirect at about 450 C for 12-14 mins. Those juices are just the beautifully flavoured and wonderfully rendered marbled fat of my strip loin. 

 

Heavy on the sea salt and cracked pepper seasoning, consumed with horseradish.

Breakfast this morning. Red Velvet pancakes, bacon, and burnt hash browns:

 

 

Update: Red Velvet Pancakes were phenomenal. Fluffy and moist. That said, they were VERY rich. I would recommend making them, but only for special occasions (ie: Valentine's Day, Christmas morning).
