A bacon-wrapped pork roast (it's too lean as it is), pattypan squash (roasted with onions), and perhaps some roast potatoes. If not potatoes, maybe some brown rice.

I picked tomatoes this morning and made tomato soup, and a grilled cheese sandwich (Wonder white, white American cheese, grill it, pull it open, spread some Hellmann's on it, throw in some dill pickle slices, close it up and eat.

Oops press the button too quick, last night I had a chicken burger with Franks Hot sauce, mashed potatoes, veggie sticks, and lentil soup.

mac'n'cheese, beer brauts and grilled corn. but my roux failed. my roux always fails. what am i doing wrong *sob!*

Salad with tomatoes, shredded cukes with yoghurt & seasoning, homemade fried chicken fingers, and I might sneak in a few french fries.

@thedilettantista ~ You definitely know Gator Town/Gainesville!

I've never had a successful meal at Paramount, but I'm thinking of The Paramount Hotel on SW 13th Street. If you mean somewhere else, I am afraid I don't know it.

Dragonfly has moved next door to Mark's, just north of the Hippodrome State Theater. Just in case the last time you have been here was before they relocated. I agree, it's not real sushi, but compared what other places here serve as sushi, it's pretty much as good as it gets.

I love the vibe of Satchel's, but the pizza...well.
Not for this Long Island transplant (and I left Long Island in 1969 at nine years old!).
I'll stick with Nero's or Napalotano's. :)

As far as "this restaurant whose name I cannot for the life of me recall but you access it through a little alley in downtown." Are you thinking on The Sovereign?

@machellebelle ~ how do you make your roux?
Perhaps someone who does it well could spot whatever may be causing the problem.

Spanish tortilla with Yukon Golds, onions and Spanish chorizo...I've never made this before so should be interesting. Not sure how the "flip" will work out.

Greek salad with grilled chicken and raisin pumpernickle bread from Orwasher's.

Well, to follow up, here is what we each would up having at Mark's Prime Steakhouse stonight. We all outdid ourselves.

Beorn:
smoked salmon appetizer with crostini, chopped egg, capers, chopped onion and creme fresh
20 oz grilled veal chop, cooked medium rare
a chocolate hazelnut mousse tart with two lit candles

father-of-love:
16 grilled Delmoinico, medium rare

Hyperception:
Coconut shrimp (he gave me one; it was gigantic!)
16 oz. grilled Delmonico, medium rare
creme brulee

me:
steak tartar with crostini, chopped egg, capers, chopped onion and dill sauce (I did up one crostini for Hyperception)
"Original Bleu" tossed salad
22.5 oz bone-in ribeye steak, cooked black and blue, extra rare
creme brulee

The four of us shared:
steamed broccoli
garlic mashed potatoes
and grilled assorted wild mushrooms

We decided to pass on wine.
father-of-love had several Tanqueray martinis and I had a single house margarita.
Although Beorn is usually limited to soda only on weekends we decided to allown him a Coke tonight.
Then ice water with lime all around.

A splendid time was had by all.

Simple tonight. I used Naan bread and made a pizza topped with tomatoes from my garden, garlic, a bit of ham and cheese. Served it with a salad.

Went out for Mexican to celebrate the finalization of our doggie adoption.

I had 1 chicken taquito and Mexican rice. Husband had a tamale, chile relleno, tostada, taco, enchilada, Mexican rice, refried beans, and 2 of my chicken taquitos (I was full).

@machellebelle How are you making it? Make sure it's equal parts flour to butter, and make sure the temp isn't too high, but brown the flour butter mixture a bit so cook out the flour taste, add the milk slowly whisking constantly until all smooth and incorporated. Continue mixing until desired thickness has occurred and continue with your recipe. This method works great for me!
