What are you having for dinner ??

Fresh Swiss chard with parsnip chips and fish.

 

This sounds interesting...and hot hahahaha. We're having Nachos sometime this week....I may take the risk of addiction.

 

That sounds lovely Sjoerd. I enjoy root vegetable chips very much. What kind of fish did you have?

 

Last night was chateau briand with Morel mushrooms. Hubby's favourite dinner. I use homemade stock, and homemade raspberry wine in the sauce, reduced with morels, onion, bay leaf and thyme, finished with butter, fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon. It takes all morning for the love to happen in the sauce, but well worth it. I put all of the Morels on his steak for him because he enjoys them so much.

Tonight for our Canadian Thanksgiving feast we are also ticking off one of his favourites - leg of lamb, roasted savoury sweet potatoes, baked onion, green salad and homemade mint jelly. We have much to be thankful for and take Thanksgiving dinner as a time to reflect on that with a tradition of taking turns with some toasts to each other. It's always a lot of fun. ( funnier when the kids were home and had to say nice things about each other hahaha - they're all comedians and it could get quite silly .)

 

Not hot really, Blend a small can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce into a cup of sour cream for a great dip!

 

We had Chinese take-away after a long day in the garden.

Mel— it was Alaska Koolvis (Pollock).

 

@Sjoerd - I love pollock, but it is hard to find in the stores without being "pumped" ( added sodium etc). That sounds lovely.

 

It's nachos for lunch today, so I'm going to try this DM. Hubby's heat meter is way higher than mine, and he's looking forward to trying it. Thanks!

 

Mmmm sounds good! I am marinating boneless loin chops in a chipotle marinade that has a lot of lime juice, some garlic, oregano and cilantro for later grilling this week!

 

Today chili dogs … to tired to cook to much …

 

Lasagna. Not the stuffed kind with chicken and ham but just a tomato meat sauce with onion, carrot and celery and 3 cheeses. I got to chop the hard cheese in the cuisinart. I love power tools!

 

I ordered some mirin off Amazon and it came today. I swear I meant to have Sake on hand too but those bottles are so small! Anyway, I got through some teriyaki New York strips and baked Mac-n-cheese, homemade too, with the blonde roux and nutmeg, Mozz and Cheddar. Parm on top. Salad with mustard+oil vinagrette

 

Friday is chips eggs and baked beans.

 

Now I'm hungry and it's only 8:18 am.

 

Catching up....I used the last of the leg of lamb to make stock, and then made Hubby some Scotch Broth and Bannock.

Last night we marinaded some chicken breasts in the last of the fresh herbs from the garden, some white wine and a bit lemon. After a long day outside Hubby cooked them over the fire This is his area of expertise, not mine. The temperature drops 15 degrees from 6 to 7 pm, so once the chicken was done so were we. Homemade buns, swiss cheese, and zucchini pickles for grilled chicken burgers, and some sweet potato salad on the side.

( Angus is gaurding the chicken...and yes he had some )
