Ahi tuna, green beans with olive oil and parmasean cheese, possibly
potato or bread, unoaked Chardonnay.

Snack later will be Lindsey's orange water ice and vanilla ice cream.
Haagen Daz of course

Shrimp, tofu, edamame - on bed of greens with a teriyaki sauce. I may toss in some aging mushrooms if I can exhume 'em from the fridge.

Soup. Husband ate most of the meat from the pot roast and vegetables. But
I see a few scraps in there. I will have to cut the carrots and maybe the
potatoes smaller. I cooked up some red beans and celery and I have those
leftover peas. I will add these to the pot and perhaps some green beans or
peas if it looks like I need to add more to it. Perhaps a few shallots.
That remaining jar of tomatoes from Sur La Table, a little more seasoning
and perhaps some beef broth or V8 if it needs a little more broth.

Not sure what daughter will have. Probably another omelet.

T-bone steaks, Canada Triple AAA rating, about 3.5 cm thick. Bloody rare
for me, medium for my wife.

Actually the fat content of my wife's was less so It may only have been
AA grade, i forget now

I made a homemade BBQ sauce: Balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard,
Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt,
pepper, smoked paprika. Reduced it on the stove for about 20 minutes.
Slathered it on the steaks from the start on a hot grill against my
better judgement.

Liked the results. But then again, any steak that still goes "MOO" when
it's on my plate is good.

Sides were fried in butter portabello mushrooms, brussel sprouts with
about 5 ml of saved cherrywood smoked bacon grease drippings and roasted
potatoes drissled in olive oil salt pepper and herb de Provence.

Alot of fat in tonight's dinner.

A low sodium V8 might be a good idea for an interesting vegetable broth.
Gonna keep this idea in mind. good tip!

Meteor shower?

I have a piece of pork shoulder... not firm plan what to do with it as
yet, other than it'll be slow cooked on the wood heater.

Yeah, This is great enough time for preparing light dinner. I have 2 items which can made out in short period. Egg noodles with Apple Shake (Juice) in just 8 min done. Which is my fiance favourite with my hand prepare.

IMO, the occasional dinner like that is much easier just to order
take-out from a decent chinese restaurant. I do that and especially
with my favorite soup...hot&sour. I can buy it fresh made often and
cheaper than making a large batch of it myself and freezing.

I've never had it as a carry out. I've only ever made it so I doubt I will
change now

Yes, same here. Very cloudy and lots of rain... but we really need the
rain as it's been a relatively dry winter here.

I think tonight is the last night for the meteor shower? It'd be
brilliant if it cleared up here and we also got both the shower and an
Aurora here as well.

Not always, I have a gas oven and stove as well. I often bring things
like big stews up to simmering on the gas stove and transfer to the
wood stove or heater. Of course, in summer the gas stove gets a lot
more use on warm days. I know a few people with wood stoves only and
their houses can get way too hot during summer.

I don't get it. You make food that looks like it was prepared for an ad
photo, but you sometimes eat this stuff.

I guess it's like the guy fom Momo Fuku saying he likes fast food bugers.

Does that wood stove heat your house too or is it mainly for cooking?

It's mainly for cooking as it doesn't throw quite enough heat
throughout the house on really cold days. It does okay heating the
house on milder days, though.

Don't see that TV show, don't care. I'm not sure why Paul assumes
everyone is watching the show and knows what the heck he's posting about.

There was a meteor shower predicted somewhere in that time-frame. It
wasn't visible where I live. I would be more interested in watching a
meteor shower than a TV show.

There was a brilliant full moon visible where I live last night.

Bla bla bla, you're so clever. NOT! ROFL! And the webtv reference....
seriously? *You're* making fun of *me* with webtv? Do you not realize that
you have just validated everyone who has laughed at you for it?

One note... you can't lay off the crossdressing stuff in your lame attempt
at humor. You got caught on it already, and we all know about it, and "I
know you are but what am I" doesn't fix it.

Now **** off and die, you phony little pussy, and next time you decide to
start flinging shit at people outside your own back yard, try to prepare
your freeble little mind for the fact that you need to be willing to take
what you dish out, because someone may do the same thing back at you. If
you're going to keep being a pussy who wants to give shit but screams like a
sissy baby when you get it back, you'll just spend your sad little life
going through episodes like this where your true nature is revealed to all.

I'm done with you now, shithead. That is, unless you want more.

And unless you decide to resume making personal attacks on people who are
trying to discuss reasonable things. A little good natured banter between
rivals is fine, but you cannot seem to understand why it's offensive to
invade other forums and turn on a tirade of hateful personal attacks on
individuals. So if you go that route again, I'll be back on your ass, with
Goatboy, Ronald, and a bunch more tasty morsels. And go ahead and post all
the stupid shit you want in the Chiefs forums... you're not getting any
action because they are too smart to take your juvenile bait.... and
besides, yuou're just not funny.

Now please refrain from being an asshole and I will do the same.... or not,
your choice.

Besides, I can be a much bigger asshole than you when provoked, so do the
smart thing while you have this one opportunity at a truce.

Sadly it was overcast here at the time, there were also strong aurora
alerts at the same time (southern hemisphere)... would have made for a
great night with both happening simultaneously.

Yeah, and I'm in the wrong hemisphere. I've never seen an aurora,
either. I do see the occasional spectacular sunset.

They happen in the northern hemisphere as well of course, but normally
you need to be reasonably close to the poles. Here in Tasmania, they
are usually not super-strong but there are some lovely exceptions to
that rule. If you set a camera up on a tripod here, with long
exposures you can get some great photos though.
