What did you eat last night for dinner?

Lucky Strike · Mar 8, 2008

What my girlfriend insists is called a New York strip, with boiled new potatoes, glazed chopped onions, champignons and salad:

lucky strike: I must say that nearly all your pics seem to be very tasty and well prepared- maybe apart from that "German excursion" (no offense)...fabienne: love the French cuisine- post more!

The other day I made a simple Quiche Lorraine for us- we also had a good green salad with that and some bottles of Burgundy that fit well, too...

Happy birthday!^

And, I don't know why I was craving this at 10 o'clock in the evening, but I made it anyway: Salt and pepper shrimp.

the funniest part was one of my 16 month old girls really took to the food, she was digging in with her hand and shoveling it into her mouth (the food is meant to be eaten by hand, so it wasn't that out of place). the spice didn't bother her at all. I found it very amusing.

The Ethiopian restaurants around here tend to make the dishes very oily, unfortunately, so we've given up. But I have had good dishes in Montreal and a few other places around the world, never in the country itself, so it's hard to judge the authenticity. Would you recommend the one you went to? If it's in Chicago, I'll take a rec.

Last night, I made osso bucco, which I served with saffron risotto.

the one we went to is called addis abada on chicago ave in evanston - maybe 15 minutes from down down chicago - maybe 10 minutes off of 94, depending where you are coming from. I can't say it was fantastic - I am not such an authority, but we enjoyed it and the kids enjoyed it, and it has excellent reviews locally. and not very expensive.

On sunday night I cooked lemon cilantro roasted chicken with lemon parmesan orzo. I was out of chicken stock so I had to buy some and use that.

Never again. Everything was done to perfection except for the sauce, which was way too salty after reduction. Why do they put salt in that stuff? don't they know people are going to reduce it? I should have known better. The sauce killed the taste of the paste that went under the chicken's skin. What I was less sure about was the side dish, which turned out really great. I should take pictures sometime but i'm usually too busy trying to get everything timed right. And I'd look like a real dork infront of my date if after I served, i said "i know you're hungry, but could you just wait a few minutes more while i get my dSLR and take some shots of this beautiful dish before you make a mess of your plate?"

Well, first, I use the whole shrimp.

And I sort of just guesstimate how much of what I'll need for the amount of shrimp I'm cooking.

Otherwise.

Salt
Pepper (ground black).
Pepper (dry red chili flakes, sometimes I use minced jalapeÃ±os)
Shrimp (of course).
Parsley
Garlic (Minced, I like to mix it in the flower, and sprinkle it on top).
Flower

It's pretty simple, shouldn't take longer than 10-15 minutes to make.

Thanks, I've tried the same general idea, but it never comes out quite right.

One of my fav dishes when I am in Hong Kong (usually with squid), but for some reason every place in the UK batters the hell out of it and then doesnt fry it hot enough so it turns out all soggy.

You're not mixing the flower with eggs or water are you? You should use dry shrimp, and just cover them with dry flower. And, get your oil really hot.

Roasted red skin potatoes and onions with olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper
