Dinner's Ready! Wednesday 10/7
So last night I ate a dinner I threw together at 10 PM of steamed cauliflower, arugula and shredded chicken in a sriracha, fish sauce, apple cider vinegar and soy sauce mix. Weird. But satisfying. Tonight is Top Chef and I like to enjoy a good meal before watching.
I'm thinking of roasting some cauliflower and eating it with sauteed onion, garlic, plumped raisins and toasted pine nuts.
What are you all making?

I made Clam Chowder yesterday. A LOT of it. Hubby critiqued it too much so I guess I'm eating that tonight by myself. LOL

It's kind of cold, wet and blustery here and I'm headed out the door to a cross country meet. So I have macaroni and cheese ready to pop in the oven when we get home. I'll have tomatoes provencal and steamed broccoli with mine and the guys will have ham steak and corn with theirs. I won't be watching Top Chef until tomorrow : ( I'd love to watch it live, but my husband is not a Top Chef guy.

I am wondering if there are any Serious Eaters out there who eat their main meal at noon? I am retired and living on a farm in the midwest, where I often fix our larger meal of the day at noon. Today I used the last of my garden's Roma tomatoes and basil from my son's MPLS garden. I made a lovely sauce for the fettucinne purchsed earlier this summer from the Sunrise Bakery in Hibbing, MN. This evening it will be something light - perhaps popcorn - while we watch the Twins beat the Yankees.

Have tons of tomatoes needing immediate attention.
Pasta with ricotta, fresh tomatoes, fresh basil and garlic. Broccoli saute'd with garlic. lemon and olive oil. Salad, red wine.

My family definitely enjoys a midday meal on Sundays. The rest of the week we have conflicting schedules, therefore I choose to enjoy my main meal midday with fellow employees. We have a full kitchen, and make every effort to spend the hour we get enjoying whatever we assemble.
I have been known to pop up a bowl of popcorn, (the old way... oil in a pan add the kernels and pop away) for an evening snack.

@CJ McD - I'm drooling reading about your menu for tonight.

I'm thinking of leaving work early and making a roast chicken. Maybe some crispy potatoes or roasted cauliflower.

I still have no idea. One of the following:
1. Jerk Mahi Sandiwches w/spinach, apple and blue cheese side salad
2. Roasted Brussel sprouts w/poached egg and parmesan
Help me decide!

I'm probably going to make a duck cassoulet tonight. Mmmmm.
avaryne at 4:25PM on 10/07/09
if it were me (and perhaps I will steal your idea), I would go for the sprouts.
laurelie at 4:26PM on 10/07/09
@bitchincamero--I love roasted brussel sprouts and after the best fried egg sandwich thread running around, I have a craving for runny egg yolk. So my vote is for the brussel sprouts w/poached egg and parmesan. (Doesn't help that it's cold, wet and blustery here.)

@dhorst your dinner sounds good - i love your choice of sides..... and @lauralie - roasted cauliflower with pinenuts and raisins is one of my favorites.... oddly enough, i'm writing from roscoe, ny the fly fishing capital .... senor pooch and i are in the camper. it's cold, rainy -- we're having a little wine with pistachio nuts right now. later we'll see if he's man enough to grill the steak. of course he's a rice nut, and i'm a salad nut, so we'll have fresh spinach with pea shoots.... i brought mr. babbo the oldest of the doggies because his eye needs tending to these days. he'll have a little steak dinner, too. maybe tomorrow it will clear up a little.

Brussel Sprouts and Poached eggs it is :)

Beer and bar food, perhaps fried calamari.
