Had Chinese last night!

Cantonese chicken in garlic.

Very nice

I have been eating out nearly every night

That's what happens when the wife works 72 hours in a week...

Friends invited us over for dinner. They made crab cakes, steamed clams and barbecued ppork spareribs. Wine and beer too.

Menage a trois?

Finally enjoying a day off today... saw a pizzeria place in a strip mall: http://godfatherseafood.com/ -- didnt know if it was a chain, but i just stopped in for a quick snack, I wanted some brick oven pizza but didnt want a whole pie and was not going directly home, so just had 6 oysters on the halfshell... (one part is a pizzeria, the other a bar/raw bar, i've really been in the mood for some seafood so I gave it a try... pretty good... i have to get back for the pizza from the cafe (the pizzeria looked like your generic slice, who puts ziti on pizza??) looked like a sbarro's immitation.

Not last night.

Tonight had peppered chicken steaks with potato wedges!

I had some fresh ravioli from pastaboy.com (Vitamia). I used my own sauce though, the last of the last batch made a month ago I had frozen with a couple of meatballs and a salad.

Sausages and mashed potatoes with onion gravy!

I had leftovers from my sunday night out to dinner: homemade pasta; fettucine alfredo and spendini, and half the dessert i could not finish: creme brulee cheesecake, may not sound like it makes sense, but the two together are killer, and i dont even like sweets all that much!

I was watching last night's epi. of Hell's Kitchen and one of the guys made a pizza out of Kobe beef. Made me think of you JR.

Eggplant Parm for me.

LOL I guess I got myself a reputation for Kobe, the truth is, I think i've had it twice in my entire life. I do have 2 frozen ground patties in the freezer I will use to make a killer burger on the grill if it ever gets warmer outside!!!

Eggplant parm was a good call Newarkguy, I've been wanting it for awhile now, I think tomorrow night is the night since I have to go out to dinner on friday.

"Kobe" isn't good until it's ground into patties

Make me the best burger of my life and I'll drop the kobe thing.

(I'll pack some White Rose just in case )

Baltimore's version of White Rose is Little Tavern. I found out on the news yesterday that the last Little Tavern in Baltimore closed it's doors the other day. I noticed the one that is in my area closed a couple months ago. Now what are the pothead going to do for the midnight munchie run?

Now you've totally confused me!! Why is it NOT ok to pulverize Kobe Beef and make it into a sausage or hot dog, but OK to pulverize it and make it into a burger?

Leftover steak is planned but it's awesome outside so I might grill some fresh meat from the Beef Mart. Closest thing we have to a butcher shop in town, I'm not sure, maybe they do the butchering and maybe they don't. Either way it's better than the grocery.

2 Different things, I will explain as simply as I can... you got a peanut, you can make it into chunky peanut butter so it maintains some of its original integrity and "chew" (or mouthfeel as they call it in the culinary world) or, you can pulverize the hell out of it to make it like "creamy" peanut butter -- simplified example, but yes, its ok to GROUND A+ beef and make it into a burger, but to stick it into a blender till its homogenous and take away its texture, not so good... hope this helps, but the same thing goes for everything except maybe pudding or "cream of" soups :-)

I prefer Jif. I guess I'm just choosy.

You guess????

Pizza last night!

We had Mexican last night.

Mr. Babe and I went out the other night and I ordered a dirty martini and a strip steak with baked potato. The strip was cooked perfectly, was flavorful and tender, and they rolled the potato in sea salt (or maybe kosher salt) before baking it. Plus, before they served the entree, they brought over a nice bowl of salad for us to share. All in all, a delightful meal.

We went to your guys favorite steakhouse. Outback.

Have kangaroo steaks??

No steaks for me tonight. I just had a salad.

Irony: I went to an italian restaurant in town last night my neighbor owns... had the stuffed sole... I went to work at a wedding tonight, they served stuffed sole, 2 pieces, twice as many vegetables and potatoes and probably tasted just as good if not better, and this catering hall was a dump lol... Go figure.

They sell steaks there?

Yea I can dig you out a nice one. Maybe one with a little corn in it.
