What's for dinner tonight?

[Arcticdude]

More of a condiment. Last night I made a mixture of coarse sea salt, black pepper, dried garlic and dried hot peppers. Ground it all in a spice grinder and smoked it over hickory chips.
Tonight I'm going to smoke and grill rib eye steaks.

 

[Proud Prepper]

I'm cooking a crayfish stew with a dark roux gravy. Over rice. And I made a potato salad. Have some fresh French bread

 

[Alexis]

We are having deep fried bunny and biscuits.

 

[KateMTx]

I made whole grain rotini with spinach, mushrooms, and ground turkey in marinara sauce. I added onions, garlic, oregano, cayenne pepper and paprika and topped with a mixture of mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

Supper yesterday: oyster mushrooms
We were up in Northern Virginia visiting the kids, and my wife spotted these near my daughter's house:

It took us a while to figure out what kind of mushroom they were but we managed to get a 100% match with oyster mushrooms, and were able to eliminate all the similar mushrooms.

We did an overnight spore print just to be sure.

So we cooked up a mess of them. My wife sauteed some(left) and I grilled some (right).

They are really tasty! I've never seen them here in Georgia, and I am trying to narrow down the exact subspecies. Right now, it appears to be the aspen oyster mushroom, which unfortunately doesn't grow this far south. Hopefully it is the Indian oyster mushroom which does.

So, cooking them:
Spritz some olive oil on them, add salt and pepper, and throw them on the grill until each side just begins to brown. Pretty simple! Just cut and eat. You can put one between two pieces of bread and make a delicious sandwich.

Wow that's pretty cool. I'm okay with foraging plants but mushrooms scare me. I've heard too many stories of people who thought they knew which one they were getting but it was actually something poisonous. It looks really good though.

LOL, my son wasn't convinced so he watched us eat them and waited a while to see if we keeled over before he would touch them.

 

[DirtDiva]

Bacon Lettuce and Tomato sandwiches with homemade sourdough bread.

Smart young man. Trust but verify. LOL

He has always been very risk averse, LOL.

 

[tmttactical]

He will probably out live all of us. Taking un-needed risks is folly. I liked his approach to the mushroom issue. He still got his portion, AFTER, it was proven safe.

He almost didn't, LOL. They were going fast and I had to tell people to save some for him.

If you want more for yourself next time then tell him that some mushroom toxins can a day or so to show they effects.

Yep, I told them how amanita mushrooms melt your liver after three days.

 

[Danil54grl]

I did Creamy Chicken with Cornbread, yesterday was Potato casserole with Ham. . . tomorrow hunny will either have to cook or he will be eating leftovers. I am good with either. I will be going back to work tomorrow night. . . I really hate that it effects two days. Most days I am up early regardless if I work overnight shift. Those days I am lucky to sleep an hour to get ready for a new day and get back to normal. . . Some days I run on empty all day. But yet keep moving forward. . .

 

[Brent S]

I had a long day at work so made a batch of chicken salad. Didn’t need anything but some leu on it. Quick and easy. A burger while out on the road for lunch and was reminded that I really don’t like fast food....

 

[Arcticdude]

It ain't dinner but the wife said she's going to make me a sausage and cheese omelette for breakfast. It's always a mystery to see what she actually makes.

Update: I got 2 frozen waffles and an egg instead.

 

[Brent S]

I made a big batch of beef stew in the instapot. In 30 minutes I had perfectly done stew. I love that thing now. I had it for six months before ever trying it out. Now it’s my primary way to cook. Dosent heat up the house like the oven and cooks in 1/4 of the time.

 

[Arcticdude]

The grandkids have been here for a week now. So today I went to the grocery store and picked up a half gallon of tequila. Dinner tonight will be extra large margaritas.

Oh, and pizza out of a box.

This sounds like the kind of dinner I need. Saturday is my birthday so I'm considering something like this. But I know I'll feel awful on Sunday morning at church. . .
