What's for dinner, part three.

Thank you, Dustiin.

Agree with R1! THANK YOU, Dustin!!! (I was candidly wondering when the last thread was done...)

Tonight I made roast chicken with a dijon bechamel, mashed potatoes with smoked gouda, and peas sauteed with garlic, shallots, and diced pancetta.

Sounds delicious, R3

We had pan roasted salmon with a lime dressing, roasted potatoes, corn on the cob and our guest brought two pies from a greenmarket in NYC. They were incredible, from a place called Noble Pies in Tarrytown, NY. One was a peach/raspberry, the other was a pineapple cream pie.

Cod baked with cherry tomoatoes, scallions, lemon, olive oil and tarragon. Steamed corn and steamed asparagus.

Make that tomatoes. It was WF 365 frozen cod fillets and quite good as well as economical.

Vegetarian night (early) - Zucchini and onion frittata, cauliflower gratin, and stuffed mini peppers.

The zucchini was one we grew! Four ingredients make the most delicious frittata. Cauliflower gratin topped with panko that I made yesterday and had ready to go today. Also, a couple of the stuffed mini peppers that I made yesterday also.

My partner said he doesn't miss animal flesh at all on vegetarian night!

Pasta puttanesca

Sautéed beet greens with parmesan and white pepper as a side for broiled Spanish mackerel with Old Bay seasoning.

No prunes? LOL

Sorry, couldn't resist. Your dinner sounds delicious.

My partner's handiwork. We're in the midwest, not Massachusetts. I just bought the fish. Dieting and giving up processed food and meat is a challenge.

Steak and mashed a baked potato. Not sure what kind of steak. It's just something my mom but in my freezer a while back. Probably a cheap cut, but it looks fine to me.

What meat are you giving up? Beef? Pork? Chicken? All of it?

Still eating poultry, fish and seafood. Gave up all meat when I had colon cancer last year. Partner has steaks and lamb chops every so often.

Pork schnitzel with cider-braised cabbage, apple, fennel, amd pomegranate seeds. Crispy duck fat potatoes with dill crème fraîche.

Salmon burgers, fresh cole slaw, corn/bean salad. Fruit and yogurt for dessert.

Me too, r15. It's been years. Have been eating red meat (I include pork in that category for some reason) one a month. Last week was half a roast beef sandwich. I don't miss it and it's hard to digest.

Wish I could find Tilapia or catfish that wasn't farmed in the polluted waters of a second-world country.

Agree on the farmed fish quandary. It is challenging to cook, even more so to try healthfully. That said, I judge no one and wish everyone well.

Think I need to add a yogurt dill sauce to the salmon burgers.

Sichuan shrimp and an eggroll. Traveling tomorrow - I generally don't cook the day before trip. You'll have to carry on without me for the next five days. LOL.

Of course, I'll check back.

FFS tilapia is full of mercury and contaminants wherever you find it. It's the worst fish you can eat along with tuna. You think farmed fish in first world countries is fine? Google for five minutes and you'll vomit. You're an ignorant racist.

ALL FARMED FISH IS SHIT. There is no such thing as 'wild-caught' Atlantic salmon either. It's farmed tumor-filled shit.

r21, this has nothing to do with race. The fact is that aquaculture intensive countries like Indonesia and Vietnam have fewer environmental regulations than we do in the US and Canada. I wouldn't trust today's USDA under Dump to be doing reliable inspections of imports.

Your vitriolic presumptions already make me nauseous.

Sounds like you've been consuming a lot of lead and mercury, yourself, along with cheap booze.

I can get sustainably farmed Rainbow Trout in California but it is expensive. Looking for alternatives.

The salmon burger recipe. They freeze well.

R22 I grant you I went too far with the racism insult but I fear you're the one consuming cheap booze. And fuck off with your sustainable shit, you don't know what you're talking about. You types love reading labels and congratulating yourself that you're saving the planet.

Tilapia is the least healthy fish no matter where you get it from. And you did imply that farmed fish is only suspect because it comes from Asia, as if the good ol' USA and developed countries are super-duper free of contaminants. Fucking dream on dear. Have you seen the videos of Scottish fish farms with the deformed creatures flailing around in murky liquid? Again, google. They will make you puke, unless your cheap American booze does it first.

Omelettes with gruyere, leeks, and asparagus.

I picked up a calzone on the way home.

I had a big mixed green salad with Thousand Island dressing and lots of shredded Cheddar cheese (as we do in the Midwest).

Grilled-out lamp chops, corn-on-the-cob, boiled Yukon Gold potatoes, boiled asparagus and a mixed green salad.

I made Lucy's goulash. It's very good.
