What's for Dinner?

High temp of around 50 today. Great day for this:

Sweet & Sour Chicken over Jasmine Rice

Pics or it didn't happen, right? Turned out well. Even made some stock from the innards, along with some ho-made gravy.

Today was really nice here as well (low 50s and some sun). Couldn't resist grilling somethin' so I grilled some chicken breasts for fajitas, a family favorite!





Yum!

My friend invited me to his “finca” and they’re getting a wild hog (jabalí) ready for cooking. This is how they do it in the country side

Haven't been buying much (well, any) steak lately. Saw some decent deals today and as luck would have it, we had beautiful weather for grilling. Sadly too dark for outside pics though.

I have been too b̶u̶s̶y̶ LAZY to post dinners lately. Here is one.

Roasted Brussels sprouts (Grana Padano); roasted fingerling potatoes with smoked paprika; okra with onions and tomatoes; mixture of collard greens and Swiss chard; roasted pork tenderloin with fresh sage and garlic, with a side of sauteed mushrooms, garlic, and thyme in a Marsala reduction sauce.

Thursday night I surprised Mrs. WM81 with pizza -- meat lover's pizza. Pepperoni, dry salami, and bacon. Plus feta, Italian mix and Mexican mix shredded cheeses. And mushrooms, of course!

She doesn't like olives, so one had garlic stuffed olives as well.

First pic is the IKEA cafeteria in the DR, their food is really good, paella, fish, salmon and some steak.

The 2nd and 3rd are from a restaurant, Korean rice.
at a restaurant in DR and that’s what they call Korean rice.

Continuing in the weekend's cuisine of choice. Carne Asada (marinated flap steak).........
This stuff is "out of bounds" as they say!

Last night I made a filled pork tenderloin, which Mrs. WM81 really liked. This is more a method than a recipe, but I recorded the details so I can reproduce it.

It was served with a grande reserve Vouvray. While the wine is not dry, it went well with the pork and acorn squash.

Wife made mash potatoes, asparagus and carnita asada, simple but the carne asada has lots of flavors

 

[Boatboy24]

Nothing terribly fancy, but it was good.

This was last night, but it took the pix some 24 hours to make it through the ether to my computer, for some reason.

For a semi-special occasion (friend was released from the hospital after an operation), we indulged a bit. Rack of lamb (crusted in mustard, fresh rosemary, garlic, parsley, and panko), then roasted to rare to med. rare. Shrimp with a butter/lemon/cumin/coriander/turmeric sauce. Roasted artichokes. Polenta with Black Label Cambazola. Puree of browned then steamed broccoli and cauliflower with lots of sauteed garlic. Simple side salad with ho-made vinaigrette.

Washed down with a 2017 Klinker Brick Lodi OVZ that pleased me a lot.
