Cheese tortellini with tomato sauce & pumpkin bread for desert - the inaugural meal for my new stove, a 1950 Wedgewood 40" range I just finished restoring. It is an absolute pleasure to cook with  

Cool stove Chris! Did you actually have stuff re-enameled and re-chromed, etc...?

[ChrisR1]

No, I didn't go quite that far. The enamel is in really good condition, as is most of the chrome. I'll have the griddle and the trim along the top at the timer re-plated soon, and maybe get the burner grates re-enameled at some point. I did completely take disassemble the burner and gas distribution system, and spent a lot of time cleaning with a small brush and industrial degreasers, before putting it all together again and tuning the range venturis for optimal flame.

BTW, in keeping with the thread, I tested the simmer caps when preparing wild mushroom gnocchi tonight.

Cool looking stove.

I just wanted to let everyone know I had a lovely Jambalaya, but I had to substitute several ingredients:

 I used pork chops instead of Andouille sausage, no shrimp (didn't have a sub for that), I used old onion flakes that had been in my pantry for years instead of a whole onion, used garlic powder instead of 2 garlic cloves, I used 4 chicken bouillon cubes (boiled and dissolved in 4 cups water) instead of 2 cans of chicken stock, and I used a potato instead of 3 stalks of celery.  Added some paprika, bay leaves, cayenne pepper and several spoons of Pete's Hot sauce.

It sounds crazy, but it was very good over white rice.

Fried eggs, wheat toast, sweet iced tea, and a pear.

Pal, if I ever make it out to SoCal, I'm coming to your house for dinner.

That is, if he'll soil his carpet with the feet of us conservatives...

Q-"Would you let me in?"-BE

Actually a few days ago (and the pic isn't mine, but just to give you an idea):

[homevintner]

Last night it was a steak sandwich(medium rare) with garlc butter and mozarella, and a side salad.

[BarnacleBill]

A few nights ago I had a real treat.  A real country dinner made from scratch.

1.  Cornbread.
2.  Pinto beans (that had been soaked overnight, and then slowly simmered for 2 1/2 hours)
3.  Deep fried catfish
4. collared greens

What a delight! 

[homevintner]

Chili con bambi

[homevintner]

Onion rings, side salad with creamy garlic dressing, Steak DeBurgo(medium), rice, sweet iced tea, and 2 choc. chip cookies for dessert.

[MaxBigfoot]

Whole wheat spaghetti with home made sauce.  Garlic, tomatoes, mushrooms, two kinds of bell peppers, extra-lean hamburger.  LOTS of parmesan cheese on top.
That's my one bad meal for the week, but it's worth it!
