What are you having for dinner? 3.0

[ChrissyRyan]

I think I will heat some of the chili I froze this week to see how it tastes after being warmed up.

It was great when freshly cooked.

I had watermelon for dinner, and since Halloween is 3 months from today...

I had a nice cowboy (bone-in) ribeye steak and some watermelon.

Chili does indeed freeze well, and it tasted good reheated last night.

Live steamer clams in the double boiler for 4 minutes with a little bit of Irish butter.
Fresh corn on the cob in the microwave.

I made potato salad and baked beans and I made up a bunch of burger patties. Tonight Tristan wants to do hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill. Or as he calls it "the Barbie".

Steamed Vegetable plate.  Cauliflower, broccoli, and asparagus. 

Not exciting, but good eating it was.

I think I'll eat the spaghetti That I neglected to eat last night

I've been super broke the last few days, but I think I'm getting paid tomorrow, so I had to eat cheap tonight... Chef Boyardee Lasagna. If you put onion, garlic, basil, oregano, and some parm in it though it's not half bad! I even snuck in a little sugar lol. oh and crushed red pepper!

Baked chicken wings and drumsticks! Half off this week and this supermarket leaves a lot of meat on the bones.
I salted the wings two days ago.  Today I coated the chicken with seasoned flour.  Baked for 30 minutes at 350.  Then basted both sides with BBQ sauce (soy/cane sugar based) and baked for another ten minutes.

This was last night but was a huge success so wanted to mention!

Creamy Cajun lobster-cheese sauce over pasta with shrimp.

Was looking for something to eat and was missing a lot of ingredients so I figured out what I could do with what I had: bag of shredded whole milk mozzarella, half pound shrimp, lobster base, and some nest noodles. Cooked the pasta real quick to about 90% doneness. Then took last bit of some earth balance and some flour, made a roux and added in some of the startchy water from pasta plus some of the lobster base. Made a rich, orange paste. Added the shrimp and some garlic and coasted them really well and cooked them for a minute. Added a bit more of the pasta water and returned to boil, then slowly melted the mozzarella into it, creating a creamy orange cheese sauce despite it being pure white cheese. Added in the pasta and got everything coated really well, added some dried custom herb mixture (thyme, mint, thai basil, genovese basil, parsely) i have been building up trimming back garden, and some generic Cajun seasoning plus some extra ceyenne. Pepper, no salt (the lobster base is super salty), and let it all thicken up a bit, served topped with parm. Was delicious and spur of the moment with no planning.

Stouffers is the best mac and cheese in the world and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.

Went to a place that opened a few months ago here that specializes in insanely spicy chicken. It is so, so, so, sooooooooooooooooo good. First went a few weeks ago and I've been back 5 times already. The owner/chef sat down with me and my step brother and talked to us for a while, showed us what he uses for the seasoning and everything(50/50 Ghost Pepper and Cayenne). Offered us free icecream cookie sandwiches for finishing the chicken. I didn't take him up on it for calorie reasons, but my step brother said it was amazing (homemade apparently there). Their sides are also amazing. I had flash fried Brussels sprouts with honey and the best tater tots in the history of tater tots. I have no idea what they do to them, but they are incredible. My lips were giant and pink from the spice, I'm thinking about getting ghost pepper just to put on my lips each morning for some awesome plumpness.
