So, whats for dinner tonight?

we get to have a catered lunch tomorrow at work...Steak, baked potato, roll, brownie, and green beans almondine. Can't wait!!

i knew we had a picture.

well since yesterday i had the chicken kiev.
tonight i'm making the fajitas.

what kind of meat are you using Paul?

STEAK,NICE LEAN STEAK.MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Tonight I am having Chicken Fried Chicken! It is like Chicken Fried Steak but its chicken. Does that make sense? Its on the menu at Cracker Barrel! If it works for them it works for me! With Jalapeno corn bread and some kind of greens. Pass the hot sauce!

So its like a breaded chicken ****? That sounds good! Definitely need the hot sauce!

Hey Paul....what do you season your fajitas with?

I love chicken fried chicken..Frog, there is a restaurant in Port Richey, Fat Boy's, that makes the BEST!! Slap on some country gravy and you are good!

Cracker Barrel chicken fried chicken is one of my favorites there. Fins...I love Fat Boys. They had the best brunswick stew. There was one in Crystal River too. I do not know if it is still there.

Roxy, did you ever live in Crystal River? It's not very far from my home town, Port Richey. My dad worked at the Consumers energy plant in Crystal river!

The Fat Boys in Port Richey is still there, as of the last time I went home 3 years ago..Still dirty as ever, and so good!

Fins, I lived in Inverness for awhile . I have also lived in Palm Beach and Ft. Lauderdale and went to school in Tallahassee. I have been to New Port Richy to shop at the mall there quite a few times.

Tomorrow will be Venison Stew. I figured with the snow coming it would be a good time to make it yum With homemade dinner rolls too.

puddle, that sounds great. I havent had any venison since I have been back to Minnesota to visit family. I had some venison jerkey (yum) and the stew...both very good.

Any plans for Valentines Meals out there???

I had to improvise for dinner tonight because V day happens to fall the day before I get paid. So shopping in my kitchen I had to come up with something I can cook in 30 minutes or less because i won't be home until 6:30 at the earliest. No I am not Mr Yummo! I do not have an endless pantry and budget like one of our other posters so I have to make do. Here is what I came up with:
Peppercorn crusted pork tenderloin with raspberry mustard sauce with fresh rosemary.
Orzo with gorgonzola, butter, lemon zest and parsley. (poor mans risotto)
All I need to buy is a vegetable on the way home. Roasted Asparagus would be nice but it is really expensive right now. I am not sure what to get. Florida vegs are not great even though its our season.
We got a pile of fresh strawberries from office management yesterday so I took some home with some chocolate dipping sauce. That will be good. It is strawberry season here. Plant City Fla is the Eastern Strawberry Capitol of the US.
And then to go with dinner a bottle of fruity Beaujolais or a Gewurtztraminer might work. Thats my splurge!

I personally prefer orzo over risotto....I think its a texture thing. Orzo and gorgonzola sounds like a great combo with the pork.

I have asparagus in the fridge...$1.99.

How about some broccolini (aka broccoli raab)?
