The family that eats together...What's for dinner 10/25 Sunday??
I am so lucky. Yesterday, my Son had a hockey game right where there is a wonderful Polish deli. BigMan, with a lot of instruction, bought kielbasa, sauerkraut, golabki (stuffed cabbage), great bread and cream cheese cookies. I have the sauerkraut and the kielbasa bathing in beer in the crockpot, I will make some mashed potatoes, put on my babushka and serve up some great dinner!
The deli is awesome-BigMan and Son felt like they were abroad with so many different products and foods. They bought some kind of smoked meat jerky for the ride home. Oh happiness!

We have couscous-stuffed roasted eggplant leftovers from last night (http://onepot.wordpress.com/2009/10/25/roasted-eggplant-couscous/). Also making some kale+barley soup.

Mushroom soup (frozen this spring when I got an insane deal on fresh mushrooms), artisan bread, and the bacon/fig/brussels sprout dish from the New York Times (an experiment).

Paella! I've been craving saffron rice.

Cod was the plan but I was not sure what I was doing with it - but my poor 10 year old is down with a bug so I somehow think fish may not be her thing tonight. I was just about to mosey out to the garage freezer to see if something more "sick kid friendly" might jump out at me.

A big bowl of stew, slow-cooked in the oven, with a hunk of fresh bread slathered in butter to mop up the juices. Yum. First stew of autumn and the house is filled with the smell of root vegetables. Just the meal for the first evening that the clocks have gone back (in UK).

Spaghetti!!

The remnants of a bag of potatoes I bought in (mumble mumble) August are threatening to give me the evil eyes, so I think I'll be slicing them up—along with some not-quite-wizened creminis, that half a red onion that I cut open on Monday, the four Brussels sprouts I forgot I still had and that I'll stretch by separating them into their little leaves, and is that a few slivers of drunken goat cheese?—for an enormous frittata/tortilla in my trusty cast-iron skillet. The prospect of cleaning out the fridge makes me feel so virtuous. And hungry!

Found snow crab legs at $4.99/lb. yesterday. Bought three pounds. So I guess we'll have that. Hopefully they won't be over-salty.
Also I want to make keftedes (Greek meatballs) to serve on pitas. I've never tried that before, but I found some recipes to draw from.

a big pot of homemade beef/veggie soup, crusty Italian bread and corn candy for dessert

Grilled ham n swiss on rye and a bowl of soup + Yankee game.

pork roast (pork shoulder with that crackling skin on top) marinated overnight with lots of garlic, onions, seasoning, lemons, limes, sour oranges, white wine etc..
all homemade sides: candied sweet potatoes, coleslaw (similiar to the KFC version) applesauce and fresh biscuits....
dessert (not homemade) will be a Chocolate Cloud cake from Trader Joes..chocolate cake alternating with layers of whipped cream and chocolate ganache..

Stuffed Cabbage Rolls...which I have never made. Not sure if I will even like them. We'll see in about 1.5 hours!!!
arm1970 at 4:14PM on 10/25/09
pork chops and risotto
rumanddiet at 5:25PM on 10/25/09
spaghetti and meatballs, they smell wonderful

I'm still in the process of making it.
Soft mushroom polenta, made with sliced cremini mushrooms and marscapone.
I broke down a whole organic free range chicken I got yesterday. Tonight I'm brining the breasts (airline cut) in salt, sugar, juniper berries, cinnamon, bay leaves and pepper flakes. The dark meat will be used later this week to make chicken sausage for a bacon, sausage and escarole soup.
Candied fennel. Shaved fennel cooked in white wine, blood orange juice and honey until brown. I just tasted it, and it's like those Sunkist candies...only good.
Roasted beet aioli.

Looks like it'll be Doritos with basil pesto mayonnaise on sour dough bread.
Maybe if I feel like making a bowl of kitsune udon (with mizuna, goboten, and nametake) I might make grilled eggplant (leftover) tuna salad with basil pesto on sour dough. I wonder what it would taste like with some diced fukujinzuke in it?
My husband is on his own. He's been asleep all day and just woke up.
I'm still watching back to back episodes of After Hours with Daniel...the next episode will be my 13th episode today. lawl

We just finished up a yummy Weber Rotissed Perdue chicken. Might be the last of the season. Well, some got put away to make a chicken pot pie later this week. We had mashed potatoes, and squash & carrot strings for sides.

Pork chops, cheesy orzo and fruit salad. And chocolate chip cookies.

Family all out of town or working, so egg salad sandwich for me. Too bad I don't know Pooroldmama to wrangle an nvite for pierogis. Were they homemade? I have a recipe from my Polish MIL, but it's so long, I haven't tried it yet.

POM I was lucky today, too since my son and his son washed my windows today! So I made some of their favs for dinner tonight. It was asparagus soup, caprese salad/avocado, pork loin roast covered pancetta and herb oil, mashed garlic potatoes, gravy and peas. Not much was left!

DH is headed to a new long-distance work site this week (we probably won't see each other until Thanksgiving), so we went all out with lobster tails, twice baked potatoes, broccoli, a nice bottle of sauvignon blanc, and plenty melted butter.

Simmering in the dutch oven as I type: my mother's tortellini soup (beef/red wine/tomato base with onions, sausage, carrots, zucchini, & tortellini, served with the obligatory dusting of paremsan). It's one of the few recipes I ate growing up that I still love.
joyyy at 10:09PM on 10/25/09
chili & pumpkin biscuits (didn't have corn meal to make corn bread with!)
hmw0029 at 10:41PM on 10/25/09
@lambowner--They were homemade but not by me. Still not brave enough for that...yet. BIgMan had hockey so no time for pierogis and forgot the stuffed cabbage....that is just the kind of thing that makes my people say, "Poor old mama!" So we will have another chance this week for me to put on the babushka and serve up some good polish food.
The good news is that I used my new immersion blender and did NOT make a big mess!
PoorOldMama at 11:01PM on 10/25/09
Chicken soup - two of the four of us are sick (yep, H1N1) and I felt pretty heroic making the soup from scratch even I feel like @#$%. Also, am hoping the cooking process killed any germs so no one else gets sick.

My darling hubby cooked tonight! It doesn't happen often! He baked chicken leg quarters in BBQ sauce, roasted some broccoli and cauliflower and made his specialty box (deluxe) mac and cheese. His mother always made the box stuff, he never had homemade mac and cheese til he met me...I've tried to teach him, but he likes the box every now and then. Everything was delicious!

Meatloaf (beef/pork), roasted potatoes and asparagus -- very Sunday-dinnerish!

We had split pea and ham soup, which was so comforting for last night's rainy weather.
avaryne at 10:05AM on 10/26/09
roasted chicken, roasted squashes (butternut and acorn with plenty of extra to make butternut squash soup w/quinoa), green beans, and brown rice
