I was expecting company this evening, but apparently the housing crisis (i.e.: bank/mortgage hassles) thwarted that plan, so I et alone (mispelling very much intended). Thusly, the grill nicely charred marinated shortribs with J-eggplant and shitakes (both smothered in olive oil, garlic and parsley) as well as (of course) some grilled bread with hummus and a salad comprised mainly of those irresistible Persian cukes (again). A couple of bottles of dark beer and a Soma (long day in the garden) and I'm almost a bit relieved that my dinner companion couldn't make it as I'm way too tired to be funny and charming... going to watch Pinocchio (Disney, 1940) which is on tonight if I can manage to stay awake long enough.

Some pic of part of the meal to be attached.

I'm surprised "Tickle Me Bender" isn't already a real product... for sale at Hot Topic or the Comedy Central website or someplace.

I made burgers... fantastic ones where I minced a couple of large onions, a heaping pile of Cilantro and a heckuva lot of spice into the whole package of ground beef first. Also some of that fried cheese... not really fried... sauteed to a golden crust in a non-stick pan. The whole thing was delicious, but my post-dinner **97** was so deep that I have very little recollection of what happened afterwards, if anything.

[Palomine]

Carmelized some red onions with a little garlic and herbs from my garden, tossed in broccoli and white beans (I've been on a jag with those lately) and mixed all that goodness with some al dente mini-shells. The meat are sliced sweet Italian pork snausages, which I charred a bit on the grill. It was an exercise in self-restraint to limit myself to one bowl.

Cowboy Stew.  Lean stew beef, 1 large can of beans, 1 large can of potatoes, 1 large can of whole tomatoes, mushrooms, carrots, celery.
Brown the stew beef, then throw all the ingredients together in a large pot for an hour or two.
I'm no gourmet, but I know what I like.  

[Palomine]

Finely diced and sauteed till soft and carmelized: 1 sweet onion, 1 red bell pepper, a few green onions (scallions), sage and thyme (fresh). Added near the end: diced ham and some tiny little brussel sprouts about the size of small acorns. All served over al dente angel hair pasta in just enough sauce to lubricate the noodles... the sauce being a minimalist reduction of chicken stock, with a bit of butter and olive oil.

Again: it was hard to stop at just one bowl, but I did... don't want to have to start buying jeans the next size up.
