Dinner tonight? Steak and potatoes!
I was able to get a Porterhouse steak at Marriano's. We plan to share it...I'll eat the filet portion and Josh will get the strip steak. YUM!
The rest of the meal has just been one big brain fart.
I bought and roasted baby beets on Monday. I got goat cheese. I have red leaf lettuce. So my salad was planned and ingredients obtained.
I decided Josh would really like a Caesar salad. Alas, I had no anchovies. It was okay though, I had to stop at another closer market yesterday. I got the anchovies.
I realized with a start that I didn't have any Romaine lettuce. A must for a true Caesar salad. Okay. I remedied that after a "beauty appointment" I had earlier today.
After getting the anchovies and other groceries into my car yesterday, I realized I had no potatoes. I turned around and marched right back into the store. I left with 2 baking potatoes. 89 cents of potato that had to go my credit card because I had no cash...not even enough change. Yikes! Thus we are having good old fashioned baked potatoes with dinner.
While getting ice cream, I passed these frozen, cheese filled, phyllo triangles. Score on tonight's appetizer! I think I want to make an apricot-mustard dipping sauce. I could find no such recipe, so this one is coming out of my own little head.
I am also going to make a horseradish cream sauce to go with the beef. Josh also likes it on his broccoli (Tonight's vegetable).
SAUCE
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
- 2 green onions, chopped
That leaves cocktails and dessert. They are actually kind of related. I bought a pineapple on Monday. I had no plan for said pineapple. I like pineapple and the price was reasonable, so I bought a pineapple. Josh thinks fresh pineapple would make a lovely dessert. He is sure he can pour some kind of spirit over it as well. (I think he's thinking Cointreau.) Check...we'll have pineapple for dessert.
Now to the cocktail. I get regular emails from tastingtable.com. Sometimes they are foody, other times they feature adult beverages--with recipes. This one is called No Contest. It's a very unusual recipe but it's garnished with, you got it, a pineapple wedge.
So that's what I'm cooking tonight. How about you?
happy cooking
