What's for Dinner?

[Kraffty]

Comfort food dinner at it's finest, Lori made the meatloaf, I made the potatoes but the star of the show was the Caesar Salad Dressing Green Bean salad. We followed the recipe exactly from Cooks Kitchen I believe and it was flat out awesome. Trust me, if you give this a shot you'll have to add it to your "impress your guests" list. Link below.

That was really impressive for you to go to the extra effort of serving your dish on red plastic trays! Looks very authentic.

Would you like me to suggest the food place owner to replace the trays

NO! I assumed you whipped this up at home (and served on authentic trays) until post #11,759.

I can't find it online, but I have a 2016 Grilling magazine by them (we used to print most things for them) that has a Grilled Caesar salad recipe that uses an almost identical dressing recipe as the one you posted (a little less garlic, still no egg). It is a killer recipe, plus you get to grill the romaine lettuce halves. Never thought of doing it with green beans, might even get the teenagers to eat those!

No, I meant the romaine lettuce version....

Trying to eat something healthy for my upcoming blood work (cramming I guess). Storms blew through then the sun came out, so grilled up a tuna steak, put half on a salad and kept half for tomorrow's lunch. Yum!

Edit: dressing (not shown) was Blue cheese, but not the homade stuff...settled for Marie's, needs some more chunks of BC.

Close, missing the anchovies, uses white wine vinegar, not red wine, no sugar used but pretty close.

1st time trying the rotisserie. Peruvian chicken. A little overcooked. It was still pretty good.

Playing around a little. First time making gravlax. Served it on greens with asparagus, avocado, and avocado lime wasabi sauce. A little basil balsamic dressing for the greens and a sweet soy wasabi dipping sauce that didn't make the pic.

Pretty tasty.. I look forward to a seeing what I can do with the rest.

I guess, but it still looks like "chicken on the plate", but I'll take your word for it. You're a WMT person and they always tell the truth.

I wanted to go out tonight, but Mrs WM81 overruled me -- replacing a bathroom light was the afternoon's agenda, and she figured it would take longer than it should. Yup, she was right -- I had to significantly modify the baseplate to get it to fit the existing electrical box in the wall. It wasn't difficult, but it took an extra hour to make it happen. On the plus side, Mrs WM81 is very pleased!

Funny, for me, it's when a project goes long that we go out for dinner! I.e., it got too late to cook, let's go out instead.

Not a great sear on the tuna, but properly medium rare, with mashed potatoes and mashed peas. Salad with peach white balsamic dressing and some blueberries.

You'd think, right?

We were both tired, feeling anti-social (didn't want to deal with people), plus I had to sample the wine when I started cooking ....

Now I am craving for tuna....yummy.

I'm odd on this topic -- I don't care for seared tuna. I like it raw or cooked medium, but not in between. But I agree with @geek, I could go for tuna tonight ...

Mrs WM81 asked for chicken and dumplings, so I'll just have to console myself with it.

Rain close, but not close enough. Pesky small cell just south of us all afternoon/evening. Fortunately moving slowly south and east.

So I could start up some apple wood and cook some marinated chicken for fajitas. Turned out well and very easy for a Friday dinner (easy button, I'd say).

Yum!
