Tonight, we had a little surf & turf with king crab legs, some bacon wrapped filet and a wild mushroom pasta.


Too many carbs there, but boy, that pasta was good! We'll start behaving again this week!

What's on your table tonight? I hope you're all having a great evening!
Patrice

Holy cow!!! That's over the top! Chicken and sausage jumbalaya here.

Now that's a real dinner!

X2
I don't even want to post my dinner especially since it's nothing to write home about

That looks great Patrice.

Venison roundsteak, Fried potatoes and eggs, and a side of stewed tomatoes here.

Thank you, Coonman! Your chicken and sausage jambalaya sounds wonderful!

Thanks, Hrdtoflw!

Adam, I know enough about your cooking to know that anything you'd make would be excellent.

Thanks, Les! Another great supper at your place. Are those your own canned stewed tomatoes from summer?

Awe thanks Patrice. Seriously nothing to write home about. Refried beans and ground beef tostadas with mozzarella and jalapenos. Thought I still had tomatoes to make salsa but I was mistaken
My daughter did a good job frying up the corn tortillas

Yes Patrice, fresh frozen in ziplocks, actually, but with that little dose of salt you would use had you canned them.

Chopped spinach with chopped walnuts/alfredo sauce, black beans and a salmon fillet.

Ironically I had King crab And King Salmon soup with cream cheese . Its awesome . I get tired of plain legs. Use a scissors and cut the legs into small sections and can just suck them out of the shell.

It looks great, Adam! What, none of that tasty canned salsa you have available over there to use in an emergency? (That was good!) Thanks for the photo!

Ah, Les! So your venison, your own potatoes, eggs from your chickens, and your own stewed tomatoes. Sounds like heaven on a plate ... balanced carefully on the edge of the table.

Wonderful stuff there on your table, Marty!

Well, there's a bowl of fine stuff, Yukonjeff! I suspect that was slightly more fresh than what we get here in cheeseland! Thanks for the photo!

Thanks. Lol actually, we got groceries today and I actually thought about buying a jar but then I convinced myself I have everything I need to make salsa so i didn't buy a jar. It was a sad moment realizing I would only have jalepenos that were as spicy as a cucumber.

Looks good Jeff......except for the salmon. But that's a good idea ! Eating crab legs is a lot of work

I learned a scissors makes it easy, just cut up each side of the legs, workes great. In Seattle they gave me a wooden Mallet !! I didn't want to make crab mush lol

For sure !

Wow !!! That looks delicious ! I absolutely love crab legs and steak !!! And that pasta looks incredible. I love good grub like that. Very embarrassed to admit we is poor this week and we are stuck with hot dogs but with nice fresh buns bought today,Kraft Mac and cheese,baked potatoes topped with butter and broccoli .Maybe next week we be eating like Kings.This week not so much but we happy !

That looks great Patrice !! You're right about the carbs !!

I'm having a toothpick and water tonight.

We had a retirement party for my brother yesterday and my sister made chicken and waffles with mashed potatoes and red beets. Later we had cake and ice cream, yellow cake with peanut butter icing mmm, mmm, good!

Watch out for that pine float Ken. I suppose ya is alright up in Alaska where there are no hardwoods.
I have seen folks get Dutch Elm Disease from that down here.

Zim

Geez! Do you ever just have a Big Mac Value meal for dinner? I’m sure you would still have to put on some colorful plates though?

I mainly worry about bark beetle larvae

Yukonjeff, we actually set the table with scissors when we make crab legs. We have two pairs of heavy kitchen shears we throw on the platter with the crab - along with a pair of gloves just for grabbing hot spiny crab legs while cutting them open.

Too funny, Adam! I could deal with the wimpy jalapenos!

Thanks, Niteprowler! You know, I absolutely love a hot dog on a nice soft white bun and I also loveKraft mac and cheese with it!!! Man! That's good stuff in my book! I also like to have one of those little bags of potato chips with it for a little crunch. Those are the days when I just enjoy a fun, tasty, simple meal and no matter what - I do NOT read the ingredients on the packaging. Just enjoy!

Thanks, White! Did you eat something evil that you're making up for now?

That is some really good classic food, Grayfox! We're beet fans here, so Zim grows them and we love a pile of beets with a meal.

I do, Handitrapper! I love a Big Mac, I love a Filet-O-Fish and I love McDonald's french fries! Next time, I will take some photos!

One time, I set out to reproduce a Big Mac and McDonald's fries and posted it. I put some considerable study into that. It was good! I'll find the photos ...

Breakfast: 4 eggs, one avocado on two pieces of multi grain bread and protein/supplement shake.

Hey there Chickie, great cuisine you presented so well , once again !

I heard from a friend just recently about McDonald's french fries , never tried that, but I wouldnt mind seeing your photos and th results of your study !

Cold day today, a good day to cook warm stuff !

Thank you for sharing your lovely dinner

Nice job, Marty! You are always eating healthy, good food. (Wait 'til you see my McDonald's recreation! )

Thank you so much, Sharon! It's 24 above here. Pretty nice, actually. I sure can't complain about that!

Okay, here it is - my McDonald's recreation masterpiece.



And for those of you who have studied up on the subject - yes, I fried the potatoes partway, froze them and then fried them a second time to finish them!!!

Now I've got a hankerin' for bad stuff!!!

Holy Smokes !!! My arteries are slamming !!

Ill gladly eat those- a good sauna afterwards will fix me up ! LOL!

I'm glad you are not using plastic straws , nor plastic silverware, that would not be PC.

Well Squilly, ya'll sure are a slow learner.

Zim

Yep.....obtuse.....

He's not gonna get any faster either

No sir !!!

Pretty scary, isn't it? Didn't mean to hurt anybody, White!
Does that sauna melt the bad stuff away? I should try that!

Can not get enough of these posts! Delicious all!

Sorry, I forgot to take a picture, we had filet mignon, baked potato, corn, caesar salad and fresh fruit salad washed down with ice water

Awesome!

I had cheesy spaghetti, ground beef, and cabbage salad. I had peanut butter ice cream stick with milk for dessert.

Thanks, Trappingthomas!

Nittany, I'll just close my eyes and imagine all that! Great stuff!

Thanks, Marty!

All kinds of gourmet treats there, Run!

Wait a minute, Marty - You wouldn't eat that in a million years, would you? ? ?

Pulled pork sliders and corn here

Is that your plate with the four sliders on it, Adam? (Looks great!)

It sure is Patrice. I landed up having 5. 2 of the kids had 3
Now there's no leftovers

That's okay Adam! My grandma always used to say if you finish everything so there's no leftovers, we'll have good weather tomorrow!

That's a cool saying Patrice

Wonderful German grandmother! Boy, could she cook up a storm! I try to get my hands on any recipe I can of hers, but she didn't write everything down in detail. She did a lot from memory.

That's incredible. I bet she could cook up a storm and that explains why you do too. That's how my mom and auntys are, everything is from memory and feel.

I can't hold a candle to my mom's or auntys cooking and I cooked professionally for roughly 10 years. Sure there's a lot I can cook they can't but they will still whoop my butt in the kitchen then they'll feed it to me

That's great stuff, Adam! We have to save every recipe we can get!

The boy and I were on our own tonight so we had Idaho surf and turf, fried perch and elk burgers. Sautéed a red pepper and an onion to go with it. Sorry no pictures.

I love it, Range! That's a fine version of surf & turf. We like sauteing peppers and onions for a quick side too!

Made a big pot of chicken noodle soup today.

I agree.

Tonight I made teriyaki chicken with lomein noodles (red bells, cabbage, mushroom, carrots, green beans). The kids weren't too thrilled about the noodles

Oh, that sounds great, Gutthooked! There is never a bad day for chicken noodle soup.

I'll bet it was good though, Adam! Why wouldn't they like the noodles?

Honestly I'm not sure why they didn't like them. Maybe because it's not panda express.

JoDeans Buffet in Yankton SD. If you havent, you should!

Darned kids these days! I think yours eat better than most, Adam!

Thanks, DWC! I will remember that in case I am ever there!

Sometimes they act like I'm feeding them coyote scat.
