So, DU Lunge, What's for dinner?

For me, it was mackerels, freshly caught in Cape Cod by my son, smoked over maple planks.

German potato salad on the side, and a bottle of Blue Moon wheat ale.

5. Excellent!

I'll have to try the Great Lakes Grassroots Ale; never had it, but the ads reminded me of Cape Ann Brewing Company:

11. We don't have cigars often, maybe once a month.

That way we can enjoy them and minimize the bad effects.

Edited on Sat May-23-09 07:26 PM by DeepBlueC

zucchini, onions, green, yellow, and red peppers, grape tomatos. Not soaked with olive oil, but brushed, yes, with a bit of salt and lots of fresh ground pepper. Those come already on the skewer from the store. Easy.

Sounds like your son is off on a fun adventure. Cool.

Our boy (15 1/2) is off at a matinee of "Night at the Museum 2" w/ a bunch of his friends. His peers are soooo much more interesting than his parents these days. :D

As it should be......

13. Some wacky version of steak fajitas

Edited on Sat May-23-09 06:14 PM by sniffa

I'll rub the sirloin strip with salt, pepper and whatever spices strike me and cook it in the oven just under broil. I'll sliver it and eat in a tomato basil wrap with sauteed onions and peppers and whatever veggies I throw in. I may work asparagus and potato in there.

ps: I always forget that you're a local. :hi:

20. Do you grill the corn on the cob too?

I do.

Soak it in brine and then toss it on the grill, husk and all.

The husks give the corn a smoky-buttery flavor.

Not sure what (if anything) we'll cook later. We have a fridge full of beverages, deli meats and cheeses for sandwiches, chips, taquitos, and other fun foods.

Literally, I can't tell...

:evilgrin:

But if memory serves me, you have access to some awesome culinary treats...

The taquitos sound great, with some green tomatillo sauce. I would add some avocados to the sauce instead of sour cream.

23. Linguine & ricotta-spinach tortelloni with homemade porcini mushroom marinara sauce

These:

And this:

And tonight I'm using Muir Glen fire roasted tomatoes for the sauce...

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51M1F60RMCL._SL500_AA280_PIbundle-12,TopRight,0,0_AA280_SH20_.jpg

...which will also include porcini mushrooms, chopped onion, chopped garlic, extra virgin olive oil, parsley, basil, fresh ground black pepper, and oregano.

Half linguine, half tortelloni, topped with the sauce and fresh grated Parmesan cheese.

It's good to be Italian (and also an Italian who knows how to cook).

unless you're making fajitas over mesquite coals.

Then beer is essential for flavor, and fire supression...

36. The wine is labeled "Matthew Fox"

and is amazingly drinkable for $3. Label sez Modesto CA, so I am betting it's a Gallo product.

47. BBQ cheddar burgers

We ground our own beef and I made the BBQ sauce from a recipe cribbed from Tyler Florence's BBQ chicken episode. The burgers were grilled to a nice medium rare, and coated, liberally of course, on both sides with the BBQ sauce just before putting the cheddar on. The rolls were brushed with more of the BBQ sauce and the burgers were served with onion and tomato for those that wanted it. On the side, we had some homemade cole slaw, two different cucumber dishes, and most importantly, margaritas!

The first time I do a recipe, I do it based on the printed or TV presentation, after that I experiment viciously! The family loved it, but the wheels are already turning.
