Surf and Turf.

Just tossed a bunch of leftovers so they wouldn't go bad into a strata: eggs, goat cheese, spinach, onions, sausage and tomatoes. Some toast with butter and that's it.

The son and I made Tender Pan-Fried Chicken Breasts, rice, and green beans. His pick... He's coming along well...

If anyone wants a really tasty, really quick, and really easy sauce that goes really well with seafood and chicken...

4 Tbsp. olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2-1 tsp. crushed red pepper
2 Tbsp. white wine
Juice of 1 lemon
Zest from 1 lemon
2 Tbsp. butter, cubed
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley

Heat the oil over medium heat and saute the garlic and crushed red pepper for 30 seconds or so. Don't let it brown. Add the wine - it'll boil really fast, so you only need it boiling for a bit. Add the lemon juice and boil for a minute. Add the zest. Take off the heat and whisk in the butter a tablespoon at a time. Adjust seasoning, add parsley, and spoon over your protein.

I roasted a half a turkey breast on the fire pit yesterday... Very tasty

Nice... Not in this weather (at least not unless I was tailgating [and I'm not!!!!]), it brings back great memories... And people REALLY need to try it, wood-fired food is awesome...

Remember this????? It was awesome...

That setup is as sexy as socks on a rooster :)

Well, note that I had the non-wheeled legs over the edge of the driveway....

I had put those legs on upside down! That's fixed now, and like having a woman come home with new and improved breasts, it's all the better...

What do you all like to do with fish? I'm specifically looking for sauces, relishes, etc.

I've got salmon, cod, and mahi. And I'll be doing them mostly sous vide with a quick sear afterward, as I've found that prep gives fish an amazing texture. But I've never been a regular fish eater (trying to remedy that), so I don't have a lot of experience with the fish accoutrements.

First, start off with some goldfishes and take it from there

I saw in the Lounge you responded, and I thought "If this is anything short of goldfish crackers, I'm gonna disappointed."

Disappointed, I am not.

Hahah


I'm typically not a fish eater. If I do fish I usually blend ranch and chipotles in adobo sauce together for a great fish taco sauce. Add your shredded cabbage cheese and tomatoes if desired.

The sauce is amazing

Sounds like a tasty fish taco. I love those things.

OK dinner people...

BEANS

I got one of those 15-bean soup mix packs , I was thinking about not pre-soaking them... (I want them tonight)

Will I die from farting too much?

Whats the dealio with pre-soaking or not....I have never NOT pre-soaked b4.

I am skurrd. Hold me.

I have a really nice smoked ham shank.....and this pack of beans....and I am about to kill myself and my family via fart gas?

Hope you like your soup crunchy.

Unless you plan on using a pressure cooker, I don't see you enjoying bean soup from dry tonight. Just takes too long for the beans to soak up the liquid
