Food What's For Dinner Tonight?

I have a crap-ton of eggs to eat in the next few days, so I'm going to make an omelette of some sort. Need more cheese.

 

Pasta tonight

 

We went to our favorite Italian place, in Lincoln Square, so: celery, fennel, and apple salad with champagne vinaigrette; tomato basil bisque; house made cavatelli with petit pois and a Parmesan cream sauce; pomegranate panna cotta with black sea salt and saba; an '08 "Polizetti" Montalpulciano. Fan-fucking-tastic.

 

Risotto alla Milanese with Zucchini and Bacon. Spatburgunder red german wine.

A Risotto with Saffron (typical of Milan), made with
-olive oil, onions and zucchini and bacon cooked at mild fire for a couple of minutes until the onions becomes transparent
then
-put the rice (carnaroli type if you have it, in any case you need a rich consistent rice, without a too hard shell or too hard core) and it for a couple of minutes.
in the meantime
-put some water and a meat-flavored soup (chicken is the best, otherwise use
Boillon cube).
After few minutes
-Put red wine with generosity over the rice..
When the rice is dry again
-Put the soup on the rice, almost covering it.
wait that the soup dries and do it again until the rice is cooked.

At the end, when the rice is almost cooked, turn off the fire, put the saffron inside to get a yellowish color, then put some butter and parmesan cheese (grana padano is the best). Eventually some other wine.

 

McDonalds.

Sack 'o Burgers. Some for now, some for later.

 

Hellifiknow. What's on I-10 between Houston and Louisiana?

 

I managed to eat a third of a package of Honey Nut Cheerios from a gas station in Mauriceville about 20 minutes ago.
And an Honestea. This was an accomplishment for which I am now paying. Yay.

 

Making Vegan Yum Yum's Italian Rice & Beans, with a few tweaks... I use a whole jar of sundried tomatoes, 'cause they're magically delicious, double the recipe, and triple the spinach. Also, because the grocery store I stopped at didn't have pine nuts, I tried a couple spoonfuls of pesto instead.

My kitchen smells amazing right now. Om nom nom.

 

Flat iron steak rubbed with kosher salt, black pepper (freshly-ground, of course), cumin, and paprika, grilled to sexy medium. Sliced nice and thin, wrapped in a burrito with a bit of shredded cojack and salsa.

 

Kick ass crab cakes at Nick's Airport Inn, Hagerstown MD. Lumps of crab. Delicious. And tiramisu.

win

 

Oh, man. Tiramisu. That's what I want for dinner TONIGHT.

 

Mmmh... I can make Tiramisu and invite some friends now that my flatmate is back to France... mmmh...

 

Don't know what it's gonna be, but I know I ain't cooking it. All the circuits are blasted after the week from hell

 

Had sloppy joes mmmmm good and sloppy.
