So,went out yesterday to Costco, had dinner out at HIBACHI GRILL. My Wolfie refused to come home.
Am having people over tomorrow, so son asked me to prepare Kenji Lopez’ Parmesan mozzarella as well as his tomato sauce. ( I just have to defrost this from fridge)
Also want sea food, so I bought 5 lbs of mussels which I will cook with white wine, tons of garlic
Also out of curiosity as I heard someone from HO mentioned Nuchar Octopus. I bought 2 packages that had just the legs, fully cooked but could not find recipe for it. Went to website, there is recipe but in Spanish. Other than taking them out of the package before, drying them in paper towels, then slapping EVoo and some condiments such as chili paste, and other sauces before I grill them, is there any suggestion? I love dehydrated octopus from Chinatown that we had to hydrate, then marinade in sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar and other spices , then grill. !but do not want to take chances if anyone has experience with them. Website are mostly of non cooked ones, with suggestion to boil til tender or cook in sous vibe .
What's For Dinner #54 - The Leap Month Edition - February 2020
I’m positive the cocktails will be better than the dry meat . Have a great time. Love the mashed potatoes.
thank! Cin-Cin!
We had the perfect Valentine’s Day dinner: steamed Dungeness crab and Alaskan King crab claws with TJ’s sweet potato fries (not pictured). Mrs. P made a black olive cake with orange zest and fresh basil ice cream topped with date honey with orange zest. It all went great with a California red blend wine and 10 year old port for dessert. It also happened to be our Cat Gucci’s 8th birthday. He enjoyed some crab as well.
Valentines dinner. Nice drive down the coast to Half Moon Bay, CA. A couple of FEISTY Dungies FOB (fresh off boat).
Quick 15 minute steam.
Early Spring Salad w/Bay Shrimp. Pencil size Asparagus, $1.49/lb at Safeway market. Lighty blanched and drizzled with evoo and salt. Perfect as is, had some Aioli “like” side also. Basically mayo with fresh minced garlic, salt and Ponzu.
Sour dough crouton and mystery Biscuit.
(Ok, Re-toasted Popeyes from lunch).
Dessert: assorted goodies from recent Taiwan visit.
Happy V’day!!!
Oops. Previously posted on four year old thread.
Fresh cheese with dried tomato pesto
Pork schnitzel, hash browns, gravy; broccoli
Had planned on prawns for Valentines but dh said he was “prawned out” from our several recent prawn cocktail lunches -> simple, simple.
I haven’t been in a while. Thanks for the reminder to get there!
Not too pretty, but tasty.
Creamy garlic chicken breasts
And green cabbage roasted in duck fat
We are celebrating V-tines day with dinner out tomorrow.
Beautiful Dungy’s . I miss them .
Very nice crab . I’ve been through half moon bay a million times born and raised in Santa Cruz
Miss cooking my own . Oh well I’ve moved north to that big California mountain with the Lemurians .
Thanks! We got them at Costco.
Due to work, our V-day dinner was last night at a Portuguese restaurant Costa Verde (full review on the NJ board).
Surf and Turf
Chicken and Shrimp in wine sauce.
Tonight’s dinner was a relatively quick Korean BBQ chicken, broccoli and garlic sauce, and basmati rice.
Sure looks great!
Perfect cook on that
That Schnitzel 
I did not cook last night, but the kiddo and I made heart-shaped crustless quiches for breakfast to go with all the day’s chocolate.
