Growing up I was used to fried pork chops that could be substituted for shoe leather at a moments notice. On the other hand these pork chops were grilled to perfection with a dry rub of Barbarian Steak Spice, served with baked potato and sautéed root vegetables parsnips, carrots and onions.
A simple hamburger with Swiss cheese, a grilled Portobello mushroom with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and grilled eggplant and yellow pepper. Also served with a simple tomato salad with shallots and basil.
BBQ Chicken legs, with fried rice and corn with a little coriander and parsley, and a cucumber and avocado salad which is very tasty, the dressing is lemon juice, olive oil and sour cream. The chicken was tender, juicy and very tasty.
Lamb chops served on a sauce made from veal stock and the marinade of port, shallots, garlic and olive oil, baked potato wedges and boiled carrots, along with a pasta salad of a few days ago. The wine paired nicely with the lamb.
Eggs benedict done the traditional way with peameal bacon and also with smoked salmon. The hollandaise sauce is Knorr which is a heck of a lot easier to make than from scratch. On the side is some left over succotash, which complemented the breakfast nicely.
Ribeye with frites and peaches and cream succotash with red pepper, onion and corriander, also served with a pasta salad. I never made it to the salad…
Farfalle with fresh red and yellow peppers, grape tomatoes, leeks and smokey bacon and finshed with fresh basil and Mozzarella di Bufala, and served with a Mozzarella di Bufala salad.
A massive Alberta AAA Filet Mignon, grilled and served with simple boiled carrots, and mashed potatoes. This is the first dinner after a week of yacht racing at the Shark World Championships, where we finished 10th overall. Still no luck with my TMJ, needless to say I’m grinning and bearing it.
I’m still having problems with my temporal mandible joint (my jaw) and my dental surgeon has forbidden me from chewing any food. So I’ll be taking a break until I can get this in order, although I may post pics of my wife’s dinner.
Grilled Oktoberfest Sausage with my wife’s potato salad with a few of my embellishments, the salad is chick pea with cherry tomatoes, coriander, olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
