I'm going out to dinner tonight, so it's a surprise!

I made my yummy chicken Florentine.

I made myself a club sandwich.

took the wife out for smoked ribs,baked potatoe.and baked beans

BREAKFAST! Waffles, eggs, and hash.

A hoagie (sub) From Midtown pizza

Party food, BIL's 50th.

Today will be buffalo chicken wraps with some crunchy celery and carrot sticks on the side.

Turkey Turkey Turkey

When 23 members of the family get together for a family 'pot-luck' thanksgiving dinner
There is one heck of a lot of food
Should I try to recount it?

I missed the beginning, I arrived late (work $#%)
but I was saved a slice of homemade pizza with home grown (No not that...) tomatoes

Let see what was first?
Oh Yeah The Feast...

Turkey A huge one carved by my Cuz
Gravy of course
Tasty Stuffing
Killer Scallop potatoes
3-4 different colors of carrots yum
Tasty Red cabbage (nice little raspberry zing to it...)
I made some Cranberry sauce
(yes I know huge contribution for a chef, but there was more...)

Then was my big course
Salad!!!
Went to the market this morning...
I got three different kinds of salad,
Arugula picked fresh this morning (this morning was warmer than the current 36 F)
Some supper delicious cherry tomatoes (3 kinds), and Peach tomatoes
And with all that I decided a simple Balsamic & Good Olive Oil would be a fine complement

Then...
Well the term Cheese plate, or Cheese plates (3) just don't quite do it justice
We had enough cheese for 2-3 times as many of us
But No Need to skim here We Love the Cheese
(besides too much ain't so bad... I came home with a nice piece of the two best ones !!!)

So by the way I was hugely stuffed after the first huge main course...
so now, two courses later,
The mention of the word Dessert
Brought fear to me
But I quickly came back to my senses...
I'm fine I can do it
Well I only tasted 3 of the 4 options...
Pecan Pie, I love pecan pie so much...
Pumpkin pie (got to do the traditional rout e too...)
And a killer 3 chocolate Chocolate cake
I couldn't face the apple pie
(come on now, my stomach is still achingly full...)

All in all
Too much food
and too many folks to talk to

Oh by the way
My Bro has a great wine cellar, also helps wash everything down...

Very nice risotto last night. Don't know about tonight yet.

More Turkey

Last night was quite something
I went to my local watering hole, the Barfly
Not only was Vic Vogel (famous local conductor), practicing with an 18 piece orchestra, But there was a huge buffet turkey dinner for anyone who walked in. My first time having thanksgiving dinner with a big band playing.
I mean a huge spread, unfortunately I was too late to get to the eggplant parm, but everything was great, and the bird was Huge... People had already been eating an hour when I got there and I still managed to get in for seconds. Oh and dessert too, lets see there were, 4 pumkin pies, some sort of apple crumble?, and a killer cake, angel sponge cake with cranberry sauce, and a ton of whipped cream

I am making minestrone soup after falling in love with the set of dishes in this blog post. :D

Beef curry over rice tonight. :)

Didn't have a proper dinner tonight. Made cheese sandwiches for lunch, with lettuce and rocket from my allotment, but only ate one of them at lunchtime, so finished the second one for supper, followed by bread and jam, washed down with tea.

I'll make a proper supper tomorrow (promise!).

I'm making supper as I listen to hockey! I'm making Booger's potato soup! And the Habs just scored! :D

Have you tried Potato, leek and parmesan soup?

No, I haven't, Oldfart. Leeks aren't something I buy much, I find them expensive.

Tonight I am making molasses bread and crock pot beans!

I had broccoli cheese soup and half a turkey sandwich at Panera Bread.

Leeks are not common here, though I have been led to believe they're the national flower of Wales.

Molasses here is an industrial base for rum, rarely a foodstuff. Crock pot beans sounds nice.

I had Waffle House. Better than nothing.

Will be having pulled pork snadwiches tonight for dinner. Just got done pulling the pork after letting it rest for and good hour and cooking it first for about 6 out on the grill with smoke then another 4 hours inside. Still have to make the sauce for it sometime after I get up and make it to the store to pick up a couple things I'll need for it.

Snadwiches, now why didn't I think of that?

I'm making seafood lasagna tonight! :D

You've piqued Mrs OF's interest, so long as there aren't any prawns (shrimp) in it.

There are, and scallops and haddock too.

Bechamel sauce?

Oh yes!

Fisherman's pie (and it's nearly seven o'clock, so I'd better start cooking)

I am making a pork roast with rosemary potatoes, asparagus and homemade gravy. It is the time of year in the North East for roasts

Steak, roasted potatoes, artichoke.

YUM!!!!

:D

I'm making grilled pork chops with pineapple salsa, hasselback potatoes and broccoli.

Mrs OF wants to pop in for dinner, but can't find the right bus from Darwin to Canadia.

Canadia, eh? ;)

Yes, a jest first noted by me as made by Rolf Harris at the Montreal Expo in 1967.

It's a good way to gently ruffle Canadian feathers.

You know how to spell it right C eh! n eh! D eh! ok now that I've started a war with C eh! n eh! D eh! I had a fried baloney sandwich

You guys keep worrying about the spelling. :rolleyes2 I'm headed for the grilled pork chops. :car:

:x:

Coo Loo coo coo coo coo coo coo G'day eh Neige prob wants to stab me at this point.... and to repeat I had the hillbilly special fried baloney

And that's why I'm going to her house :car: rather than yours. :gb:

Done on an indoor electric grill though, Wilderness got tired of fanning the smoke detector and just took out the battery! :rofl:
