This is our favorite time of day that we have our clothes on for. Whichever one of us comes home first will start dinner..(usually Dick)...we'll chill a bottle of wine....put on either some Sinatra or some nice old Jazz...turn down the lights and eat by candle light and talk and laugh about our day. Tonight I plan to bake chicken, with a nice mushroom Risotto....cut up a few bell peppers and sautee them in butter and garlic..(lightly)...and pour them on top of steamed string beans. We have a nice white Merlot...and I am in the mood for Duke Ellington.

-Peace, Dick

Last night was a meatball sub with provalone. As far as tonight goes, my wife and I are still in the "What do you want?" "I don't know, what do you want?" stage.

Heh-heh, I'm gonna go off-topic in the Off-Topic Forum:

What I had for breakfast was gorgonzola-crusted ham on dark toast with butter (and tea), and white toast with wild berry jam for dessert.  Top that.

So wait .. let me get this straight .. you hard dark toast AND white toast ?

Isn't that like having Matter and Anti-matter??  Won't the world end?

In reply to:

Well, not in the same mouthful, of course.  Thought people would find gorgonzola-crusted ham weirder.

Well Blax12 could probably describe a Tiramisu better than I could.

As for what I had for dinner tonight, dungeonous crab and a citrus salad.

[homevintner]

BBQ ribs, cornbread, and green beans.

I'll interject on behalf of this thread AND the weather thread. For the past week or two it's been unbelievably warm here, even by SoCal standards. In the 80s this weekend (I actually wore shorts today). Last night it was so warm that I put my dog in the convertible and we had a double double with grilled onions (and no tomato) in the In-N-Out parking lot in Studio City. Excellent as always (actually, my favorite form of red meat).

Winter is always the best time of year in SoCal IMHO. It's cooler (usually, anyway) and the Santa Ana winds clear the air and what little rain we get falls in the winter. It's more like NoCal from Dec to Feb.

February 2, 2003: The Simpsons "Whacking Day" episode after 2/3 of a bottle of very respectable Pinot Grigio borders on the profound. As my pooch licks clean the remainder of a Godiva pint (Chocolate Cheesecake... just a tiny bit as Chocolate isn't good for dogs I know), I recall the lime and mint marinated chicken with a Basmati pilaf and huge white mushrooms and red bell peppers (belle as in Michelle Ma Belle courtesy of Lennon and McCartney and coincidentally the name of the first girl I ever kissed with an open mouth at the tender age of 13) all prepared on the barbeque. If it weren't for the Simpsons and the remainder of the Sunday night Fox and NBC lineups, I'd be sorely tempted in my innebriated state to get on my mountain bike and pummel my way up the hill to the nearby resivior (in lieu of getting into the convertible) til I'm exhausted.

I got to cook again .. woo hoo ...

Tonight we had ... Mac n cheese .... my style ...

Which means I cooked up the macaroni noodles in one pan (with broccoli tossed in) ... and in another I made a cheese sauce of cheddar, parm, and feta ... added some milk ... melted ...

then when the noodles were done, put em in a glass dish, covered em with a layer of freshly sliced mushrooms, poured the cheese sauce over everything, and tossed it in the over for 20 mins ... after the 20 mins were up, I put a fresh layer of shredded cheddar over the whole thing, baked for 5 more minutes .. and voila ... dinner was done ...
