What's for Dinner?

[Boatboy24]

Last of the beach leftovers. Have some pulled chicken that's being sautéed for tacos. It made for some great nachos a couple nights ago - along with some fresh margaritas, of course.

Wife making the special dip, when done it's very good to dip with tortilla chips.

Lasagna, chicken, rice, tostones, salad and some ribs.

Looks like a well frozen one at that!

I expect to see some weekend dishes posted here. Getting tired of seeing predominately my posts.

Having leftovers since the older two kids are out and about, so that is my prompt to try something different. Knew I had some ground lamb burgers in the freezer, so pretty much followed this recipe (added 1 cup diced zucchini). Will post the finished picture when it finishes in 1/2 hour. Used tri colored penne pasta instead of elbows (didn't have enough elbows in stock).

Smells really good, lot's o' garlic and spice.

Of course, wouldn't be the same dish without canned PA portebella shrooms.

Um, where's the posts? I know you'all cook. Let's see it.

Simple burgers and dogs on charcoal. Cold front is far enough West that we won't have to deal with it until tonight or early tomorrow morning (lost a lot of sleep with that earlier in the week, oh well), so I did them on the briquettes. Yumers. Served with a 2013 Barboursville Cab Franc, quite delightful.

Didn't cook last night, but had cedar planked salmon with a bourbon glaze, roasted carrots and jasmine rice. Pre dinner, Chateau St. Michelle Riesling and with the salmon, some La Crema Pinot Noir.

I have not really posed here in a while. I am currently on a diet and to reduce any temptation, my wife has kicked me out of the kitchen and has assumed the role as chef..

With her cooking (she could burn water) I will shed the pounds in no time.

I know, no pictures, but tough nooggies.

Had some shrimp. Had some diced clams. Had some garlic. Had some EVOO. Had some Vidalia onions. Had some more garlic. Had some Linguine. Had a 16 month old bottle of Pinot Grigio. Hummm. Shrimp scampi (with some clam flavor in the base) with some Pinot Grigio. Nice Thursday meal, yum!

For you Craig.......

Since I know you bought an AIO pump!

Did you pump the sauce onto the plate?

LOL

He said he would have to eat leftovers for 6 months!

Well, he's not suffering if he's eating scampi!

Not as long as SWMBO doesn't know!

I remember saying before that I would be willing to become your household pet if I was allowed to eat your leftovers (and you'd put some wine in my dish occasionally....) just need to find that post, I'd guess it was Spring of 2015.

BTW, that scampi looks really good. I mix up a batch of Essence and have it on hand, never thought of it in the scampi, I'll have to try it. Too bad I don't have any at work since I brought my leftover scampi for lunch. Guess I could run over to the store, I think the Giant carries Emeril's stuff.
