I can hear the tsk, tsking from here but I have to say, I've done this more than once and never suffered any ill effects. Don't know if re-boiling did the trick but no one got sick (least of all me at the thought of throwing away something I'd slaved over for 2 days!!). Don't worry SHFE participants, I'd never secretly serve it to anyone

Romanian Kosher garlic Polish dogs I picked up yesterday. To be griddled and served with sauteed onions, mustard and pickle. Maybe I will make some fries.

-grilled oysters topped with mango pico de gallo
-chunky homemade guacamole
-tequila marinted smoked london broil for tacos
-smoked chicken wings finished on the kettle
-smoked jalapenos

taco toppings, queso flresco, avocado, red onion, and cilantro..

mercy, all that and a White Sox winner.. its good to be king.

Too overwhelmed to do my usual Derby Day blow-out (and, frankly, I thought it was next week anyway) I did muster up the energy to make up Hot Browns, Grams Cooke's Spoonbread, asparagus, bibb lettuce salad and Derby Pie, which we all enjoyed for dinner tonight. Phew.

I picked up some asparagus, new potatoes, and spring onions at a farmstand outside of Egg Harbor in Hinsdale. I'm going to make an asparagus risotto and a potato spring onion soup.

Becoming a Sunday tradition: slow roasted chicken, schmaltzy potatoes, sauteed spinach, homemade chocolate ice cream.

Lesson 2 from low and slow

- Oven roasted whole chicken stuffed with celery, onions, garlic cloves, and carrots.
- mashed potates made with organic russets
- chicken gravy
- broccoli
- carrot stix & ranch

Dry-aged prime, bone-in rib roast from Allen Brothers, with oven roasted carrots and garlic cloves, sauteed spinach, and sauce Bearnaise.

Low carb-high fat!

Pics to follow just as soos as I can figure out this camera

I have to thank you for the grilled oysters idea - my 4 yo twin girls and my older 13 yo daughter said these were the highlight of the meal, begged for more. I have to admit they were quick easy and AWEWSOME!

Thanks again!

slainte...

glad i could help.

slow roasted, crisp-skinned chicken:


schmaltz-kissed potatoes and garlic:

Beer braised short ribs, fingerling potatoes and asparagus

I started a new topic with pics rather than hijack this one

last night was some smoked chicken nachos:

made with the chicken meat I pulled off some wings I smoked this past weekend, queso fresco, smoked jalapenos, queso fresco, jack cheese, chopped tomatoes, and chopped avocado.

really nice.

Stopped at Vallie Produce on the way home from work (I shouldn't shop when I'm hungry) and found something they call Mexican Kale ($.89/lb.). Walked past the bacon, but couldn't get by the fresh chorizo, also on sale.

Saute onion, a little minced garlic, render a sausage link, boil-drain-chop the greens, combine.

What I thought was going to be a side dish turned into my main course - a $2 dinner.

Mother's Day dinner will consist of the following:

Crabtini - Layers of homemade lump meat crab salad and avocado chunks served in a martini glass with a spritz of fresh lemon juice

Four grilled 6oz. lobster tails with garlic butter (2 for her and 2 for me)

Grilled fresh asparagus

Risotto with porcini mushrooms

No dessert as I doubt we'll have any room. But there are two pints of Ben and Jerry's in the freezer just in case.

And lest anyone thinks I'm starving my kids, I let them pick out their own dinner as they weren't too hip to what I'm making for mommy. They chose a NY strip steak to be grilled medium rare and a large bag of Funyuns.

Smoked Polish Sausage with Saurkraut, Apples, and Onions
Chopped Salad (Shepherd's Salad (Coban Salatasi)
Roasted Potatoes

(and Tuna Casserole for lunches and later in the week, which I am not eating tonight)

Thomas Keller's caramelized sea scallops with Thomas Keller's morels with madeira; Thomas Keller's marinated skirt steak with Thomas Keller's roasted smashed potatoes. And some farmer's asparagus.

your entire menu looked great, this dish caught my eye for sure.

Chilled Cucumber and Avocado Soup with Grilled Shrimp Diablo

Burgers on the Grill, mixed with chuck, sirloin and lamb
Skin on french fries marinated in garlic, oil and rosemary, grilled
Chili Ketchup and Basil-Garlic Mayo

Mint and Rosemary marinated lamb shish kabobs.

Several different salad-y sort of dishes - cous cous, chickpeas, chopped w/parsley and feta and cold cooked peapods.

And a brownie with vanilla ice cream.

Tonight's dinner: Queso Fundido, made with homemade chorizo de Toluca, poblano rajas, and a melange of caramelized knob onions, ramps, and green garlic, rolled up in a bunch of toasted flour tortillas. Roasted tomato/red onion/red serrano salsa on the side. Glad it's kinda chilly!

strawberries, basil, aged balsamic, fresh chevre:

Truly lovely looking meal.

We grilled steak. Was getting late and I was going to pick up from Kow Kow, my 'local' the bride asked for Hong Kong steak, which sounded good. Just as I was about to call for pick up, Kow Kow does not deliver, it occurred to me as I had to go out anyway I may as well buy steak and grill/finish with oyster sauce. Less money, better flavor and I get to play with fire as a bonus.

Lighting the fire



Basted the meat with oyster sauce/cane vinegar/fish sauce. Finished with same as it came came off the grill.



Fresh Farms had choice angus porterhouse on sale for $7.99/lb, served with brown rice and a tomato, green pepper and red onion salad, also made with my new vinegar crush, cane vinegar. Dinner cost less than Chinese takeout, was taster and most likely better for us.

Enjoy,
Gary
