  1. Tonight I'm making this tasty chicken dish I got from a class I took long
    ago. You marinade chicken breasts in a combination of Dijon mustard, good
    white wine, garlic, shallots. Preheat the oven to 450*f and place the
    chicken on parchment or the nonstick foil or even a silpat. Make fresh bread
    crumbs by pulsing chunks of french bread in a food processor, and combine
    with parmesan cheese and a chiffonade of basil. Top the chicken and then
    drizzle it all with melted butter. Bake 12-15 minutes is all, and it's
    delicious!

    Rounding out the meal, green beans from my aunt Margaret's and salad, maybe
    some pilaf.

    Leftover Mountainberry Crisp for dessert! Yum!

    What are you having??

  2. geesh. tough day all around.......tuna melts with swiss cheese and
    fresh roasted green chile strips on rye bread, plus potato chips

    Your chicken dish sounds wonderful. I will have to give it a try soon.

    Last Friday my son and I helped my folks out by roasting,peeling and
    seeding 22 pounds of green chile. As thanks, mom sent some home with
    us. Tonight we are using some up in green chile and chicken enchiladas,
    broccoli and red grapes I got at the farmers market on Saturday.

    Dessert is chocolate cupcakes.

    I have some leftover italin style stewed Zucchini, I will nuke a few cooked
    meatballs i have in the freezer with the stew and either serve it with
    pasta or mashed taters.

    Zucchini recipe is easy

    2-3 medium zucchini chopped
    1 medium onion chopped
    1 small green bell pepper seeded and chopped
    2 ribs of celery sliced
    Approximately 1/4 lb mushrooms sliced
    3 large cloves of garlic smashed
    1 14 oz can diced tomatos
    1 8oz can tomato sauce (or i used canned V-8 this time)
    1 tablespoon dried basil
    1/2 tablesppon dried oregano
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper

    lots of grates parmesean or romano cheese (I prefer romano)

    Sautee the first 5 veggies & garlic in a deep pan. the bottom coated with a
    thin layer of olive oil. when the veggies have started to soften (5-10
    minutes) add the tomatoes and tomato sauce and seasonings. Let simmer at
    least 30 minutes. When everything is all stewed together, add a good
    handful of cheese and remove from the heat. Serve with more cheese on top
    if you choose.

    All amounts can be adjusted to what YOU like. Same with the seasonings.
    this time I added a bit of a hot gardinaiea sauce. YUM!

    I was lazy ...I pan fried a ozark spice rubbed pork steak and had it with a
    mess of chilled mini cheese wedges. I have no clue to the type of cheese
    other than it was soft...it has a laughing cow on each indivualy foil
    wrapped mini wedge.

    That sounds really yummy! I make a shrimp dish with white wine and Dijon
    that I serve over brown rice: I saute some onion and garlic in a bit of
    butter and olive oil. Then I add some white wine and Dijon mustard,
    bring to a simmer, and then add shrimp. Once the shrimp is cooked, I
    throw in a couple of diced, seeded tomatoes and warm through. It's
    quick, easy, delicious, and low-carb (for those who care).

    Took the visiting in-laws to Landry's Seafood for dinner. I had Talapia
    Pontchartrain (broiled talapia topped with a creamy white wine sauce,
    mushrooms, and jumbo lump crabmeat), served with rice pilaf and steamed
    veggies. Not bad for our second-choice restaurant (and for a Landry's
    establishment). First choice restaurant (in-laws' pick) was denied, due
    to a local power outage (that strangely didn't affect the Landry's right
    down the street...).

    Grilled hamburgers, fresh green beans, big ol' mixed greens salad with
    radishes, cukes, tomatoes for mine, and spritzed with olive oil and
    drizzled with balsamic. It was pretty good.

    It was pretty simple. I browned some chops and tossed into the same pan a
    can of sliced peaches with the juice. Continued cooking until the juices
    were reduced and the chops had a lovely glaze. Sometimes I add some
    cinnamon to it.. this time I didn't.

    So this time you used peaches instead?

  12. I made a pot of corn, okra, and tomato soup, baked a pan of cornbread and an
    apricot pie for dessert.

    Well, tonight's dinner is going to be this swell dish, but tonight I'm
    doing it with a $2/lb on sale chuck steak instead of the flank. I'm
    curious about how chuck will do instead of flank. I've got some baby
    portabellos to fry up for it, too. I bought some really cheap soy sauce
    that I'm going to try out, too.

    I was toasting the sesame seeds in a pie plate in the microwave. Five
    minutes isn't long enough. Eight was too long. Dangitall!

    Beef Kunkoki

    Recipe By : Posted again to r.f.cooking by Barb Schaller, 9-27-05.
    Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
    Categories : Entrees

    Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
    -------- ------------ --------------------------------
    1 1/2 # beef flank steak
    3 tbsp. sesame seeds
    3 tbsp. salad oil
    1/4 cup soy sauce
    2 tsp. brown sugar
    1/2 cup finely sliced green onion
    1 clove garlic -- crushed
    1/4 tsp. pepper
    1/4 tsp. ground ginger

    Score flank steak in diamond pattern. Combine remaining ingredients and
    marinate meat in mixture for at least an hour. Grill or broil for 5-10
    minutes (5 minutes per side is about right on the grill). Cut thinly
    across grain in diagonal slices to serve. 1-1/2# steak serves four to
    six. (Four is realistic.)
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    NOTES : Source: Judy M, Richmond, Virginia; October 20, 1984 back when
    she was still talking to me. Extra marinade can be combined with sliced
    and sauteed mushrooms and served with meat or over white rice.

    Italian sausages, mashed potatoes with plenty of butter and cream, left over

    spinach salad for the man.

    I love a fresh spinach salad! What kind of dressing does your hubby prefer?
    I like a raspberry walnut vinaigrette.

    Tonight will be just off the table for him -- some Tuscan Olive Oil and his
    preference of red wine vinegar or lemon or lime.
    He's easy to please.
    I can't eat fresh spinach, sadly to say, or I would be up with my head
    hanging over the toilet at 2:30 a.m. What's that all about? I don't know.

    (Marinated flank recipe snipped)

    I predict it will be tougher than you'd prefer.
    It's not as easy to slice on the bias as flank is.
    I've used a very similar marinade for flank for
    many years now, but never with sesame seeds although
    I have added a bit of sesame oil on occasion.

    We're having chuck tonight, too, pot roast.
    It just looked like pot roast weather this morning.

    Beef, onions, carrots, celery, garlic and red wine all
    simmering in the oven. I'll add herbs and more
    carrots about an hour before dinner and serve it
    with mashed potatoes and corn muffins. Steamed
    broccoli on the side to use it up before N. leaves
    on yet another business trip tomorrow.
