Default Tonight's dinner

I have the following all roasting, cut up in chunks, with olive oil,
coarse salt and freshly-ground black pepper: potato, carrot, parsnip,
beet(root). I'll sear a smallish rump steak to go with it, and maybe
nuke some peas. Maybe I'll not bother with the peas.

Sounds delicious, Miche! That's a mixture I really like. How long did you
roast the vegetables? At what temp? I'd probably skip the peas, too. :-)

If you do add the peas, add them at the finish. They are easy to
overcook!

Yumma. I think we're just having sloppy joes.

I made the Pork Wellington from the recipe I was waffling about the
other day. Used the recipe Goomba posted for the home made Boursin
cheese filling (thanks Goomba).

It was YUM!

I tend to microwave them (from frozen). I hate overcooked peas.

As it was I didn't bother. Did the steak blue rare and was a happy
person.

Fairly big chunks, shade under an hour at 350F/180C. Turned 'em over
halfway through.

I asked James and the teenager whether they'd rather have sloppy joes,
shrimp dumplings, or spaghetti for dinner. James picked shrimp
dumplings, and then the teenager asked sweetly if we could also have
sloppy joes, so I thought for half a second and said yes. So we had
sloppy joes (made with TVP), homemade shrimp potstickers (with soy
sauce, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil), and steamed broccoli.

Weird, but good.

I used to like this thread, but haven't seen it i a while.

Tonight was very garlicly hummous, scooped out with baked pierogie and
stalks of bok choy, in front of the the screen here. With a couple of
glasses of cheap "piasano" wine (what is that?). Didn't plan on a
multi-continental meal, just what was on hand.

Very satisfying. But, I'll probably stink tomorrow.

No one is eating dinner? I have to respond to myself?

Somethread last week (greek food?) a rec. and discussion of a
tajine(?) of lamb, ceci, eggplant. Lodged in some back cranny,
waiting for me to get around to the lamb.

Pulling frozen chicken for dinner (it was going to have to be crockpot
day), I realized I had most of the other stuff on hand.

Didn't check the posts, but faked it.

Chicken parts, garbonzos, tomato, eggplant, usual suspects. The
unusual suspects - I think I used mint and za'atar and ginger.
Cornstarch. Toward the end of cooking, it seemed not 'bright'
enough. Succumbed to some MSG, more tomato. Then I saw the pears out
on the trees in he yard. Very more brighter.

Served it over rice that had had pork cabbage rolls steaming above.

I had about a pound of leftover rare prime rib that I put in the freezer
last weekend. I thawed it for tonight (slicing it thin while half frozen),
sauteéd a pile of onions and sliced mushrooms, then quickly seared thin
slices of the prime rib, and assembled it all, along with slices of
gruyere, to make decadent Philly Steak Sandwiches on sub rolls from the
bakery. We also had a chopped salad of letuce, tomato, and cucumber with a
vinaigrette dressing.

Do you mean pisano? Maybe?
