What's for Dinner?

[Boatboy24]

With the weather as cold as it's been, I continue to work on the chicken and wild rice soup I made with the scraps from last week's chicken roast. So, grilled cheese and soup again!

Yesterday was maple jack rotisserie BBQ chicken with steamed green beans and homemade chili pepper cornbread... And a taste of DB out if the primary!! Just a taste! Was doing an SG reading and couldn't help myself... Better check the freezer for what's on tonight... Could be crockpot tandoori butter chicken!

Ya know, the kids were just asking for pancakes last night. You might be on to something there. It's been a while since we did breakfast for dinner. Now, what wine pairs well with eggs and pancakes...

James, I hear you! There is nothing like a fresh cucumber or tomato with s&p. Ohhhh, I miss summer! I'm planning to do a new type of cucumber this year.

Boatboy: it's called Mimosa

Roast white sweet potatoes, caramelized Brussels sprouts, and roast pork tenderloin with garlic/thyme/paprika.

I love cucumber salad. Do you have a secret recipe.

Hey Shelley!
Totally not secret, but also never exactly the same I'm kind of a 'kitchen sink' person when it comes to cooking, but here's the general idea:

I slice my cucumbers (usually 2 long English for the 4 of us) up super thin with my mandoline, then sprinkle heavily with salt (approx. 1 Tblspn), wait 10-20 min, then drain off the water.

Then a splash of white vinegar or lemon juice (1-2 tsp, depending on taste), a heap of sour cream (1 cup to 1.5 cups), pepper, salt & dill to taste.

Let me know if you try it, and how you like it!

Just to weigh in here. My grandmother's cuke salad (Hungarian)

Peel and slice cukes on a mandolin.
Place in a colander with a TON of salt. Let rest for 30 minutes or so.

scoop up handfuls of the cuke/salt mix and squeeze out the water with your hands. repeat this step.

Dressing.. 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup mayo, vinegar to taste, and add dusting of paprika at the end.

 

[ShelleyDickison]

Well great....now I can have 2 recipes to try.
