we had some terrific classics from rosarios in freehold, a great deli/caterer. amazing meatballs, and imo the best baked ziti that can be found anywhere! for a little shop, the place has been absolutly mobbed the last week or so, but even with all the chaos, the staff are great. definatly worth checking out for anyone in the central jersey area!

Pinot Grigio. With a side of Pinot Grigio.

You whining again? Er, I mean "wining."

jim beam and chocolate covered pretzels so far, but things are gonna get real classy in a bit when i microwave some frozen white castle burgers. as much as i love to whip up some fancy dishes, its nice to be able to relax with a bunch of old friends, drink up, and then cop out and reach into the freezer

Center cut bone in Pork loin Chops with green peas and baked apples seasoned with cinnamon. Picked up a three layer key lime cake for dessert.

Ropo Veija here, it's the South American version of Pot Roast. With fried plantain! A touch of Sangria! Just a touch!

That sounds delcious. Let me know how it was tomorrow

Pizza

some nice sweet soppresata with peccorino.... on a plate with artichoke hearts, marinated roasted peppers and olives.... shrimp wrapped with prosciutto broiled and served with a dijon sauce..... stuffed veal chop valdostana (stuffed with fontina, prosciutto and basil and topped with mozz) in a nice marsala sauce..... escarole sauteed w garlic and olive oil.... several bottles of Peppoli chianti (on the cheaper side but delicious)..... life is good

Pretzel Crisps and Gatorade

broccoli and mozzarella stuffed bread from a local place, outstanding! seems like they sauteed the broccoli in lots of garlic and plenty of crushed red pepper before adding it, its surprisingly spicy but spot on IMO! washing it down with a few 90 minute IPA's, very satisfying!

Tonight i am having haggis, with the traditional tatties and neeps. Tomorrow is Burns night for the Scots and being of that ilk i always partake. However my son is having a sleep over party tomorrow and we are all having pizza, so i am having the haggis tonight!!

How about a haggis pizza?

Cooked up some lasagna and spinach just for the hell of it..

this whole post sounds incredibly good



living the good life i see

Ziti with sun dried tomatoes, grilled chicken, mushrooms, in a white wine sauce. I'm waitress, get it free, and cooked for me. The upside of the job.

Last night i had haggis and chips from the chip shop. Delicious.

Tonight my wife is doing something chickeny,with chorizo in it. There is also a nice bottle of Sicilian red wine sitting on the kitchen bench that has my name written all over it

Last night we went to Chili's for the 2 for $20 special. You get one appetizer to share and then each get one entrée. They also have 2 for 1 wine, draft beer and margaritas.

Tonight I made two racks of lamb with egg noodles and a vegetable medley of broccoli, carrots, snap peas and water chestnuts. I simply sprinkled the lamb with sea salt and pepper, put it in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes per side (fat side down first), then lowered the oven to 325 for another 40 minutes. They were delicious, medium rare and juicy.

Is that it?

Why do you put the fat side down first?

Tonights dinner?!?!All i know is that some1 is goin to get bread and teeth on tonights menu...

I'm going to guess. Um, let me think! It's Sunday and I'm following church edict. So wine it is! Two bottles, one for my fathers memory! One for my sons!

Jack Daniels for me....its sunday.....maybe some sparkling water after it...

Suppose to go out with the fam think im going to pass

Why? Because that's the way my mother taught me.

^ Cool looking into some culinary schools B.A. in Advertising with everything going digital and this n that ..I need something else to fall back on

I honestly think it has something to do with making more drippings if you plan on a brown gravy with your meat, but since that's the way she said I should do it, that's the only way I ever do!

Yesterday we had beef stew with potatoes,carrots and broccoli, with chocolate profiteroles for dessert(or pudding as we Brits like to call it lol)

Delicious!!

Lasagne tonight.

Beer as an early appetizer, then I'm thinking either Wine because I've been slacking on fruits lately or Vodka for the carbohydrate value! Bloody Mary's for breakfast today again with V-8! It sets me straight.
