What's for Dinner?

Really a different product than cheese sticks.

Cheese sticks are often processed, second-rate cheese.
Curds are taken from what would later become an excellent cheese.

 

Hmmmmm....

 

Just think of them as a sample, about 360 days before they would become year-old aged cheddar!

 

Years ago...when in grade school...my class toured a cheese factory in a nearby small town here in Indiana. They showed us how they made cheese..and had a huge bin of cheese curds. They gave everyone a scoop of them. I remember then as being quite delicious!

Last night was beef enchiladas & Mexican rice.

Tonight, marinated chicken breasts and scalloped potatoes, either corn or carrots on the side.

 

I raided my two flowerpots of basil today, grated some Parmesan cheese, threw in some pine nuts and garlic, and added a splash of olive oil and made a deeeeeeliiiiicioussss Pesto. I could really coat myself in that stuff... Had some spaghetti with it, naturally.

 

Tops bbq. Sandwhich and Jerry's snocones! Had to take my little brother to a lesson in midtown and decided to take advantage. Yum

 

organic chicken from wholefoods, salad, coleslaw, and corn salad

 

Pork vindaloo, saffron rice, garlic roti, raita and chutney.

 

Sausage stuffed crust pizza from pizza hut, accompanied by Captain Morgan and Dr. Pepper.

 

club sandwich combo at the eatery

 

Oh yum.
I have some left over roast chicken that I'll use up tonight. Maybe a creamy pasta with mushrooms or cannelloni or a stir fry or a chicken pie. As you can tell I'm undecided.

 

It will be goooooood Lolly

I reckon you should whisk up a chicken and leek pie with the leftovers. We had roast chook for Sunday lunch, always a hit!

 

You are a mind reader. Chicken, leek, mushroom, cream, dry sherry and lots of garlic with a puff pastry top. 'Twas lovely.

 

Might have to pop up to the Blue Mountains next time there's a chicken pie on the go Lolly!

 

If you & your family are ever in our neck of the woods you're more than welcome. How old is your baby now?

 

Just over a year old now Lolly!

 

Ok, so instead last night ended up being pan pizza from Perrotti's with beer. :lol:

Garlic marinated chicken breasts & scalloped potatoes tonight, then!

 

Last night I decided to stop by Toast Kitchen and Winebar in Pittsburgh for their Chef's selection 4-course dinner. From talking with the server, it varies from night to night. I had mussels, followed by a fillet of some lighter-coloured fish (can't remember the name), salad, and steak. Only the salad was on the regular menu - the rest were creations for the Chef's Selection that they are doing for the month of June.

The wine pairings were good as well. All-in-all, a very nice evening.

(probably back to beans and rice for tonight!)

 

The kids had hectic schedules last night so it was a quick supper in our home. Bacon sandwiches. I know it doesn't sound like too much but sometimes a pan of hot bacon layered over some fresh bread is just the ticket.
