What's for Dinner?

I am working overtime (by a LOT) the next couple weeks as our session finishes up, and I am just lacking inspiration.

What are you making for dinner tonight?

A very simple pseudo-Chinese dish for our tasting of several white wines today: chicken, mangetout, red bell pepper with a bit of ginger and soy in a wok. It actually is quite a wine friendly dish for the funkier sorts of whites we had tonight.

What are you making for dinner tonight?

Probably meatloaf and gravy, if I get the energy up to fetch the other 1.5# of chop meat I need. If not that, maybe a frittata. My kid bought some brats, too. To be honest, I'm not all that inspired today ... too much party-eating over the last month. Maybe I'll just make do with a glass of V-8 and an apple.

Turkey miso soup. Have leftover browned turkey stock, turkey, bok choy, miso, maybe some tofu, sesame seeds, ginger. Will see as I go. Gotta use it up somehow !

Whatever Chef Elmar Prambs of the Four Seasons has planned for tonights class. If you are that uninspired Princess then come on to the class. It's sure to be a hoot.

Rack of lamb. Not sure what i'm going to serve with it yet though.

Split pea soup made from smoked turkey!! Yum! I was late this year and just made it last night.

A different, fresher take on Beef Pot Pie: Pan seared chunks of rare filet, with crisp hunks of stir-fried bok choy, shitake mushrooms and wide slices of red onion combined in a red wine sauce and served in a free-form bowl of baked puff pastry. An Asian slaw of napa cabbage and bamboo shoots marinated in red chil oil on the side.

Pseudo-Cajun kidney beans.

My wife is making quiche lorraine.

I've got some fresh-frozen Kentucky farm-raised freshwater shrimp, a variety that has a sweet, mild taste that does not perturb my long-suffering bride's shrimp phobia, and I'm trying to come up with some kind of comfort-food recipe over rice with an ethnic twist that bridges Acadiana and Mexico and that might go well with an Alsace Gewurz to launch December's Wine Focus.

Wish me luck, I'm goin' in ...

Turkey soup!

Turkey soup!

Had that for lunch.

I made chicken fried steaks (a lighter, skillet version)...fresh beans with browned onion...and bamboo rice. The beans were yellow beans. When I sat down with my daughter and she looked at green rice and yellow/off-white beans she quipped: The colors are reversed. The beans should be green and the rice white.

Cracked me up, but it takes so little these days.
