I have to make baklava today for a customer demo next week.

I have a particular weakness for baklava. :baby:

Yesterday we hit Applebees, I had a reuben. It was a bit disappointing, honestly. I think I'm just going to have to cave in and start making my own. The big problem is that living in the Deep South you don't often find places that even offer them, let alone good ones. Same story with Chicago style pizza.

Today will be something involving chicken as I have two chicken breasts in the fridge that I have to cook. Maybe chicken piccata.

I didn't know that, I'll keep it in mind! I don't make it very often at all, maybe twice a year or so - it's a little boring to make so I always make a point of listening to really good music while I'm putting it together. :D

That sounds good. I should eat with you ;)

Tonight we're having homemade split pea soup.

HI dear,
Today I am deciding to take fried fish along with Russian salad and tomato sauce for my dinner and a big bottle of fresh orange juice after the dinner. This is my favorite food.

Apple wood smoked New York Strip topped with bacon and bleu cheese. The side dish is tater popper casserole. (baked potatoes with cream cheese, sharp cheddar, bacon, jalapenos.

And a salad of napa cabbage with nuoc cham. (garlic chili sauce)

Looks good, IM!

Yesterday must have been steak day, although I kept it basic - I pan seared a ribeye and topped it with caramelized onions and a balsamic reduction, the sides were a baked potato and a wedge salad.

Oh yum imgreat, I'll skip the steak but the potatoes sound divine!

Last night I had mushroom risotto and shrimp. Not too bad. Would have preceded a stuffed crust pizza with extra cheese but I am trying to eat healthier. Almost 15# lost so far....and more to go. :)

IM, it was so good and juicy it didn't need it!

I'm hungry now lol

Almost forgot this.

I told Mom and Dad we were going to make enchiladas and fried chicken the way his Mom used to make. Tortillas and enchilada sauce from scratch. The chicken was seasoned with cumin, coriander, and our ground hot pepper. There was fresh pico and guacomole on the table. Mom and I had Blue Masonjaritas©

The enchiladas were filled with equal parts of potato, onion, colby cheese and diced dill pickle.

the wife and her sisters are making chicken and dumplings with an egg custard pie. tomorrow i will doing a brisket.

Chili last night. I got home and the better half had made a big pot. It was all kinds of good!!

Sloppy joes.

Sharing a state with pgg was bad enough, but Wolven probably knows all about that now since that last reply looks like something pgg would say. pgg rubbing off on you there, Wolven?

All this talk about food reminds me of a family recipe we like to call "Sticky Chicken" It involves braised bite sized chicken breast pieces sauteed with a sweet and sour sauce of Catalina dressing and plum jam over a bed of rice. YUM!!!

Saag paneer, some Indian potato thingy, ground chicken breast seasoned with Tikkiya kabab masala. Served with raita and apple chutney

Sweet potato ice cream and baked meringue

i enjoy grilling and have been told i do it well. every now and then though the meat, heat and seasoning combine for the more than perfect steak. that happened last night. it was my wifes birthday and we had some friends over. with stuffed jalapenos and homemade coffee liquior to wake up the palate i got to grilling. the steaks with the perfect grill marks and sear were works of art. it was like they were getting ready for a photo shoot for a food magazine. cook to perfection and bursting with flavor not a word was spoken as the fork tender masterpieces were devoured.

Im looking forward to my dinner for Saturday night. Me and wifey and another couple gonna have Thai food. It's one of my favorites.
