No self-respecting hound would go out to dinner tonight - what's on your home-cooked menu?
- chowcito Feb 14, 2007 09:34 AM
I like the idea of cooking together at home, notwithstanding today's great article in the times
What's everyone else serving up?
I'll be cooking dinner for my husband - pan seared filet mignon with a simple wine sauce, over a bed of arugula with herb roasted fingerling potatoes. Various filled chocolates (dark for me, milk for him) and Veuve Clicquot as desert. I don't think I'll be doing an appetizer - we could use cutting back on some calories :-) I'd rather waste them on the chocolate!
Simple, not too filling and more important (for me) quick and easy to cook after a long day of working.
What about you chowcito?
Oh and BTW, I do all the cooking - he can't cook for his life :-)
re: sivyaleah
Sounds great - I'm a sucker for a good filet (hot and fast!).
Thinking about a pancetta wrapped branzino in the skillet - with some crispy brussel sprouts and walnuts (little sea salt, honey and crème fraiche on top)
Will check out the local grocer to see what kind of oysters are in for an appetizer.
For dessert we're suckers for bananas - so maybe a bananas foster?
Still debating the wine options. . .
re: chowcito
That branzino sounds amazing. Wish my husband ate seafood :-(
re: chowcito
I already posted this in another thread but I'm still developing it...
Herbed Chicken Saltimbocca w/ spinach, prosciutto & parmesan in a white wine lemon sauce
Mesclun salad w/ pear & goat cheese & champagne vinaigrette
Strawberries & chocolate zabaglione
Marques de Gelida Cava: Brut 2001
...maybe a wild rice on the side, or basmati?
Doing fondue.
One white wine with peppercorns/garlic/bayleaf for the meats to cook in (steak and chicken tonight)
One classic cheese with a champagne/lemon/garlic for the crunchy bread.
Fabulous (christmas gift from brother) red wine to drink.
Perfect in its simplicity and romance.
Lucky us, we got a cold snap (nothing like up north, but it'll do) so we can light a fire as well.
re: amysuehere
Our fireplace is in our (finished) basement - maybe we'll move our meal down there. Thanks for the idea :-)
Well, that's a rather depressing article! I think I hate that man in the first story! :-)
We're keeping it really simple tonight: I made mushroom pate (thanks Ruth Lafler) and a dried fig, cherry, and prune compote last night to go with crostini, assorted goat cheeses from British Columbia and whatever cheeses my husband decides he thinks he needs at Dean & Deluca today, salami, Late Harvest Reisling also from BC, and chocolate risotto pudding. We don't usually get too into V-day, but have been looking for an excuse to try our cheese and wine from our honeymoon!
re: Katie Nell
We don't do V-day, but this menu makes me want to reconsider. Can you share the chocolate risotto pudding recipe?
re: debbiel
I actually posted it here: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/37067... I've never made it before, so we shall see tonight!
re: Katie Nell
Thanks Katie. That looks great. I'll try it this weekend.
re: azhotdish
I do... love Barry! Would you like a little Marvin Gaye on the side too?! ;-)
re: azhotdish
Here's a pic of the steak au poivre (used 6oz prime filet) and roasted asparagus. I was in too big of a rush to serve the amaretto-chocolate souffles to get a pic (too bad, they turned out great). Skipped the champagne and decided on a 04 Tobin James late harvest zin...what a great choice, it was delicious! I was very happy with the meal, and my girlfriend loved it.
I usually cook but tonite I'm going to the gym post-work and I'll find out what's for dinner when I get home!
The Valentine's Blizzard inspired menu :
Slow cooked pork roast with a sweet and spicy BBQ Sauce
Corn Bread
Creamy Mac And Cheese
Sugar Snap Peas with Clementine Segments
Key Lime Pie
To drink a John Anthony Syrah and a John Anthony Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc after dinner. Let it SNOW !
re: claireh
Do you have a recipe for that risotto? It sounds wonderful...
Homemade pasta in some sort of cream sauce, I think. I have some shrimp in the freezer, so maybe I'll throw those in, too with some peas and bacon.
And red velvet cake for dessert. =)
That is, assuming we still have power by dinnertime.
Oh, I just realized I'm an alpha cook, reading that article. I think both my brother and I are alpha cooks, in fact. So, when we get together we go out to eat most of the time. I remember one time I made a lovely salad, which he proceeded to augment and re-dress once I'd tossed and served. Hmmm...
Tonight, it's all my doing--champagne, roast chicken and red velvet cake. I actually don't know the rest yet...
a little pate to start
pan-seared scallops
mashed potatoes with parmesan crust
sauteed spinach & escarole w/ garlic & lemon
for dessert, i'm being very lazy & heating up a pre-made chocolate souffle. if it's lousy, there's always port to fall back on.
all served romantically of necessity on the couch -- my BF has a broken ankle
heart shaped molten chocolate cake
I'm baking a cinnamon bread in a heart shaped cylindrical bread pan right now. I guess I should be a grown up and plan a main course. I'm not a heart shaped kind of person but I have these pans that I feel like I should use once in a while.
Y'all have got some great menus going. Since Mr. wonderful and I will be starting dinner after work, I'm thinking of opening with a Tuscan pecorino and olives, followed by a pasta with scallops and pancetta with a baby greens salad, and some dark chocolate for dessert. A bottle of champagne is already in the fridge but I have a Vernaccia di San Gimignano that may be drunk instead. Happy Valentine's Day to you all!
We were going to get a couple of lobsters and build a dinner around that, but with all the snow even the half mile to the store seems too far. So, chicken breasts stuffed with caramelized onions and a local parm type cheese (based on Eating Well recipe that showed up in my email today -- how fortuitous), polenta, cherry tomato and sunflower sprout salad, and an olive oil sponge cake with blood orange compote for dessert. Good thing the pantry was stocked!
Scallops and shrimp in a cream sauce over pasta, salad, and chocolates for dessert. But this post makes me want to make molten lava cake too. Thanks!
An appetizer of apples w/melted rosemary brie (courtesy of Bon Appetit) and for dinner grilled flank steak, creamed spinach and roasted turnips. Hubby has plans on picking up a bottle of rose champagne on the way home so we'll wash it down with that.
You folks all sound so creative and romantic! We are stuck at home in the snowstorm outside of Boston, so I'm going more for a comfort food type of thing after snowblowing the driveway later. Beef and bean chili with homemade tortilla chips, some red wine.
For starters, broiled feta with plum tomato and mint served with homemade bread, then green salad and fettuccini in a cream sauce with smoked salmon and fresh broiled salmon. Dessert will be an old fashion brownie pudding cake with vanilla ice cream. Way too rich but it is Valentine's day!
Red cabbage salad
Roast pork tenderloin with chiptotle-honey glaze
Roasted brussels sprouts with garlic, EVOO, and balsamic OR wilted rapini with EVOO and garlic
Roasted fingerling potatoes with garlic and rosemary
Strawberries and cream for dessert
And whatever wine he brings home. I'm hoping shiraz, syrah, or malbec.
We're cooking together, and I have been chanting all day "I *will* *not* be a kitchen nazi, I *will* *not* be a kitchen nazi, I *will* *not* be a kitchen nazi..." Because I am totally an Alpha cook.
re: chickenskin
you know how to top off a meal right chickenskin...i was going to suggest maybe a late harvest zin and some chocolate for dessert, but sounds like you got it covered! nothing gives you that romantic rush like throwing back jager shots.
That article in the Times was a fun read but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to be in some of those relationships.
We're dealing with bad weather here in NYC so we've had to simplify our meal somewhat but it will still be great (I think). We're doing skirt steak and roasted winter vegetables and possibly some lemon risotto, with tiramisu for dessert.
You're all making me feel terribly guilty and unromantic. I've been gobsmacked by the worst cold EVER! I have completely lost my appetite (good for diet) and barely have the energy to reheat food in the microwave (bad for feeding family). Consequently, my family will be feasting on leftover chicken curry that I whipped up the other day - while I nurse another cup of hot tea. Woe to me. ;o)
Seriously....everybody's menus sound scrumptious and I plan to try more than a few when I'm back up and running.
re: Mushroom
We are both sick too. I oddly enough have not lost my appetite or sense of smell or taste. Just no energy so it is fried chicken, mashed potatoes, buttered corn and peppers and I am just about to take the Orbit Cake from the new Scharffen Berger cookbook, Essense of Chocolate out of the oven and will let it chill on the porch. We'll have that in a few hours with a dab of whipped cream and a single malt Adelour 'a Bundah
re: Candy
Wow, if that's your "no energy" meal I'd love to see what you do when you're feeling well!
We're both trying to get over the flu, too. Ordinarily I would be at youth group tonight but I begged off. I got a package of cooked, cubed chicken breast out of the freezer and was going to mix it with something precooked & frozen, but at the last minute I decided I wanted something creamy & savory ("comfort food"), so I ended up making a pan of risotto and mixing the chicken in at the end, and made sauteed spinach to go with it.
We might go out for a big bloody steak or something this weekend, if we're healthy by then.
re: revsharkie
No no no, sorry, take out fried chicken from the grocery deli, mashed one potato with garlic, corn was noting and the chocolate Orbit had only 4 ingredients and next to no work. Orbit was worth all of 15 mins to prepeare though! No wtomorrow maybe I can just sleep!
I totally recognized myself in the alpha description....uh-oh!
Meal tonight...
Brie en croute with hot pepper jelly and baguette
French onion soup
Steamed king crab legs with garlic butter and spinach salad
nigella's chocohotopots (they were SO easy to make....hopefully they are yummy).
Kir for me, martinis for him, and a couple of bottles of red. yummah.
Well I have class tonight but I'm making shrimp scampi ala Ina Garten, Ceasar salad, and chocolate souffles. It will be my sweetie and two kids. Oh yes, Champagne for the adults and pear cider for the kids.
Appetizers will be mussels in a garlic and white wine sauce, entree is broiled lobster tail with butter and herbed red potatoes on a bed of spinach, dessert is chocolate fudge cake with dulce the leche ice cream. The cake is from a box, but I'm sure it will be good. Wish me luck! I have never cooked mussels or lobster before.
Happy Valentine's to All!
(Ah, to be snowbound...very romantic and cozy...but let it be nice for the weekend!!!)
Our Main Menu? Good ol' Surf and Turf!
(my DH is not much of a "gourmet" eater)
For Starters-
Buttery Chard
Some sort of cheese fondue and Brie en croute w/dried cranberries and pecans
Baby Greens with a champagne viniagrette
Main Course-
Steamed Broccoli w/lemon butter (my husband is not a huge sauce or veggie fan)
Jumbo Prawns on the Barbie
Marinated Filet Mignon with roasted rosemary garlic bulbs
Sauteed crimini mushrooms
Fragrant brown rice
Late Harvest Zin
Choc Dipped Strawberries
Champagne and......
Me! O=;)
I hadn't considered the fact that the reason we cook tonight's meal at home is because I'm a hound... my reasoning was that I can make a wonderful meal for less money and without having to deal with mushy-smoochy couples in crowded restaurants with an overpriced wine list!
I admit, there are certain ways I like things done in my kitchen, and I do watch as my bf dices onions in a TOTALLY different style, but I keep my mouth shut and let him do it his way because in the end the dish still tastes great. And he always does the dishes when I cook, so why would I risk losing that help?
We're having ONE lobster tail with butter, grilled ribeye (living in San Diego, it's warm enough to really grill outside... sorry), risotto or pesto pasta, and a chocolate torte I made last night (for tonight). Chardonnay, Zin, and port. I can't wait!
I'm not much of a cook but it's my first V-Day with my SO, so I'm giving it my best shot:
crostini w/ bocconcini & marinated peppers
gnocchi w/ cream-tomato sauce
roast "pork" w/ fennel (real pork for me, fake quorn roast for her), fried asparagus, & roasted potatoes
biscotti parfait (recipe from epicurious)
bottle(s) of red & white offered (i'll have some of each but she'll probably just drink red?).
was up a little too late last night prepping, so i don't spend the whole time in the kitchen (where, though i'm not particularly skilled, i'm a complete nazi and she isn't allowed tonight... also, it's very small).
We've never been a couple that celebrates Valentine's Day and lately we haven't had a lot of extra money to make a really nice meal. Tonight we're having chicken fajitas - easy to make and strongly flavored (which is good because I'm still suffering from a sinus infection and can't really taste anything).
I'm making salmon baked with brie with a mango sauce, sugar snap peas, rice and a tokay pinot gris to drink. All of our favorite things in one meal! Simple and good. Homemade heart-shaped linzer cookies for dessert.
It is conviently blizzarding outside. A perfect night to share with great food, loved ones and a fire.
I am making home-made mac n cheese for my wife (a very sentimental dish for us) and molten chocolate baby cakes for dessert. I will look around in the fridge for some appetizers to put out but unfortunately I think all we have is cheese which might result in cheese overload.
Probably serve Stag's Leap Chardonnay that we picked up when visiting the vineyard a couple of years ago but am still debating that.
i'm cooking dinner for my new hubbie (if he makes it home early enough from work). the menu is a la Giada De Laurentiis: grilled lamb chops, pea and mushroom risotto, some kind of salad, and for dessert: chocolate/hazelnut raviolis...
almost everything is a new dish for me; my husband doesn't mind being the guinea pig. =)
re: coffee_addict
I grilled lamb chops, too...coated with charmoula, served with spiced carrots & couscous, with flourless choc cake for dessert.
White out conditions up here, 18" on the ground and still coming down to beat the band. Perfect Valentine's Day weather. We are having roasted tenderloin with cabernet wine sauce, crab stuffed mushroms and sauteed snap peas. A wonderful Zinfandel to drink with it. No desert here, as we both don't need it.
Guess I'm not a self-respecting hound, then. :) Seriously, sometimes I *want* to be taken out to dinner by my husband who loves me and who wouldn't know his way around the kitchen to save his life. Unless I wanted canned chili with corn!! I cook all the special occasion meals all year...Valentine's Day is one of those times when I get to be served and pampered and romanced. (Though I *am* baking a killer batch of brownies at the moment!)
Squash soup with portobello mushroom croutons, caramelized onion and goat cheese quesadillas (although maybe hubby doesn't like goat cheese, can't remember, in which case he gets mozzarella or ricotta), mixed salad and sugar cookies.
I forgot to get wine but don't feel like trekking through the snow to the liquor store now. Maybe we'll have the ancient bottle of ice wine that's been sitting in the wine rack for over a year with the cookies.
I'm going to a potluck, to which I am bringing a salad (inspired by one in Nigel Slater's "The Kitchen Diaries,") featuring walnuts, greens, cranberry wensleydale, walnut oil and lemon.
Well, we were sick last weekend when we were supposed to do an overnight w/o the kids, but at least our appetite's back. Tonight was lamb chops with a rosemary-orange pan sauce, mashed potatoes, and salad. Fairly simple, but the kids actually ate pretty well without argument, after a snow day stuck in the house. (It wasn't even fun snow -- too much ice to enjoy.) If it wasn't valentine's day, we'd have had "must-gos" (our term for leftovers).
We are pitiful at the Valentine's thing tonight. We had grilled salmon, rice and braised bok choy (YAWN). Now I'm working, and my husband is behind me, grading exams and flunking his students.
Where's the love?
Italian pot roast with baby red potatoes and carots. It's been crockpotting all day. We're going out tomorrow night for our celebration to avoid the crowds.
We're leaving on a trip tomorrow so I kept it simple tonight. Baked halibut, spinach salad, peas, some fresh baked french bread dipped in some wonderful olive oil we brought home from a recent trip to Tunisia. Cheesecake for desert. Champagne to drink to make it seem celebratory.
DH is now napping on the couch. So much for romance:-)
Stuffed mushrooms to start, then macaroni and cheese, green beans with bacon and halibut for dinner, then homemade meyer lemon ice cream and chocolate loaf cake for dessert.
I spent all afternoon cooking yesterday! I made my husband's favourite foods... French onion soup with slow-cooked caramalised onions (I cooked them for at least an hour before I added the stock), zuni chicken with basil (no dressing) and cauliflower cheese, and a pure chocolate/whipped cream chocolate mousse with gorgeous fresh strawberries (no time to do an eggy or cooked version, and the plain thing was absolutely delectable). He loved it and I was very happy with how everything came out, even if I was exhausted because I have a cold...
PS.I'm sick and I debated whether to cook dinner or tell DH to order takeout... but I decided to do it anyway. It was fun making it, but I was too exhausted to eat it and I ended the evening by sacking out on the bed while he worked on his computer, instead of anything more romantic! At least the chocolate mousse still tasted delicious when we had it for supper :)
I spent all afternoon cooking too! I made all of the things that he never knew he wanted, because I made them up based on what I know about his tastes.
Stuart kopetia- Phyllo dough squares filled with roasted eggplant spread and goat cheese. He really likes Spanikopetia, but he loves goat cheese and roasted eggplant. I switched around the ingredients and then named it after him.
Mushroom Risotto and asparagus with heart shaped red pepper garnish-the risotto was already one of his favorites. I have just never made it until I got tips from Chowhound.
Phyllo napoleans filled with chai mousse and topped with whipped cream and dark chocolate shaped like a record. (he loves chai and collects records)
Everything turned out great. The only thing I would do differently next time is make the napoleans smaller, as they were incredibly rich and it was definitely too much to eat.
re: Main Line Tracey
Do you have a picture of the napoleans? Sounds like a fantastic dinner!
re: Main Line Tracey
All three of those dishes sound wonderful! I really like the idea of the Stuartkopetia. I love spanikopetia but could use a new idea for a similar phyllo appetizer.
re: debbiel
I had only worked with phyllo once before, with disasterous results. I hadn't used nearly enough oil before.
This time turned ot great. I used a garlic flavored olive oil spray for the Stuartkopetia. I was thinking that adding chopped toasted pinenuts would also be great in with the eggplant spread and goat cheese. A little texture. I used pre-made baba ganouj from Trader Joes for the eggplant spread so it actually pretty simple.
re: Main Line Tracey
Thanks for the additional information. I might give these a try next time we have a get together.
Thanks! I didn't take photos. Maybe a description would help.
I just drizzled the white plate with dark chocolate, put one 4" x 4" square of phyllo dough (about 5 layers), piped the chai mousse in one layer the size of the dough, topped with another phyllo dough, more chai mousse, whipped cream in a decorative design (with pastry tip for extra prettiness) and the chocolate record (with one edge broken off to stay up, and pressed down to the top layer of phyllo. The mousse and whipped cream held it up)
I had everything made ahead of time. The mousse and whipped cream were in bags and ready to go, the record was made and the phyllo was cooked. It was a huge hit and super easy once everything was prepped.
My hubby made me the most delicious meal:
Seared diver scallops stuffed with green olive tapenade
Mushroom soup with chorizo and scallions
Tagliorine with meat and porcini ragu
Sorry no photos, but it was fabulous and very romantic.
re: chowcito
We ended up having our actual dinner last night, so I was able to take pics. On Wed, after a late lunch at the restaurant we first met, at dinner we were too full after appetizers (lobster filled phyllo triangles) and pink champagne to eat the meal!
Last night's dinner is our new tradition (my husband loved everything - all his requests):
With a delicious Tres Sabores Rutherford Cab -
Lobster casserole (Jasper White's "Lobster at Home")
Filet mignon with cognac cream sauce (Epi recipe)
Baked stuffed potato with creme fraiche and scallions
Gelatina de leche - (a Mexican dessert made with cream sherry his mom used to make)
Thanks to the people that chimed in on my cheese cloth issue, my meal turned out perfect!
Sgroppino to begin the night (prosecco based cocktail), then more prosecco
Sailor bread with fresh herb infused olive oil
Sweet potato bisque
Short rib ragu with pecorino & pappardelle served with a bottle of Overture
Flourless chocolate mini heart cakes served with a bottle of LBV port & roasted nuts
It was a wonderful meal & it was nice being able to prepare it all the night before so i could really relax and enjoy without running around much.
re: Das Ubergeek
that is adorable.
re: Das Ubergeek
That is cute! Let me know what you think of the Roomba. We got one for wedding shower.
re: Main Line Tracey
My favorite LOL Roomba 'riting:
I made mediterranean stuffed chicken breast (spinach, garlic, kalamata olives and feta), pan seared with a wine lemon sauce with capers. Served over rice pilaf and steamed brocoli... D.H. licked his dish when he was done...it was THAT good!
Dessert was...well I can't tell you, i don't know if this is that kind of message board. haahaa
we had:
walnut-stuffed prunes wrapped in bacon
tempura marinated artichoke hearts with sriracha aioli
nicoise olives
roasted tomato soup with white beans and crostini
duck confit with pomegranate molasses
parmesan polenta
roasted green beans
fudgey brownies with raspberry sauce and whipped cream (for him -- i hate chocolate)
and we drank calera "reed vineyard" pinot noir.
sigh...my girlfriend is definitely the alpha cook but I tried to do the v-day cooking last night. I wanted to do my shopping day of, whichw as a mistake, and which was made nigh impossible by the blizzard. NO scallops, asparagus, or veal shanks at Shaws, and I couldn't get to savernors or any other market to look for the veal. Instead I had to settle for some rather boring looking veal chops. I'm an idiot for not doing everthing but the scallops earlier.
I had wanted to make scallops oskar: seared scallops with asparagus, lump crabmeat, and bernaise sauce, and then veal osso bucco. That obviously did nto happen. How do they run out of scallops and asparagus!??!!?
We started out with an antipasto of fresh buffalo mozzerella, imported peccorino romano, salami picante, marinated olives and cherry peppers, baguette, and an assortment of goat cheeses with petit toasts. She liked the antipasto. With this course I served a chilled prosecco, the brand escapes me though.
For dinner, we had a mixed green salad with homemade dijon vinaigrette, and veal chops florentine with a butter sauce, served on a bed of wild mushroom risotto.
She didn't like it :-( I'll admit it came off as haphazard and not very romantic. I was happy that the risotto came out tender and flavorful (thanks to CH), but otherwise I guess I wasn't too impressed.
Luckily I found some blue roses, a momento of the first flowers I ever bought her on valentine's day three years ago. All in all, I don't think I won too many points though. Actually, I felt like I ruined V-Day. We should have just gone to Sorellina!
re: tamerlanenj
It sounds like you did a lovely job! The dinner sounds fantastic, not haphazard. I'm sure you won more points than you thought you did.
re: tamerlanenj
i'm sure she was very happy with all of your hard work. chin up.
We had a butternut squash and goat cheese pizza with kalamata olives, super easy with a TJ's crust and squash roasted the day before. A bottle of champagne we had been saving ended up beign a great match with the pizza. Potato chips to start, great with the champagne, and flourless chocolate cake, baked over the weekend, to finish. Super easy, very tasty, and I thought quite romantic. I think the key to good V-day cooking is to keep it simple, it was nice to be able to focus on each other rather than on complex preparations and lots of dishes.
re: PurpleTeeth
Agree with you -- aside from my friend whose signicant other arranged for a private chef to prepare an in-home meal for the two of them -- cooking it yourself, especially on a holiday, is the way to go. Our meal was:
Garlicy Lemon Shrimp (a 10 minute recipe start to finish)
Roasted broccoflower and baby carrots
Sliced tomatoes with reduced balsamic
Apple pear crisp with a gingersnap oatmeal topping
Duck Pate
PEI Mussels
Steak au Povre
Chesse Course (Humbolt Fog, Brie, Figs)
2004 Paraduxx, still a little young but just as good as the '03
Ended up only getting through the first two courses, the mussels were amazing. Having the steak and asparagus tonight.
to start: olives marinated in lemon & garlic
cypress grove purple haze chevre
rigatoni with a pumpkin & cream & parmesan & sage sauce, tossed with sauteed swiss chard, and topped with veal chops. the veal chops i marinated for 24 hrs. in rosemary/garlic/sage/olive oil, then scraped the marinade off and broiled 5 min. on each side. it was ridiculously easy and actually ended up being one of the best things i've ever made (didn't generate too many dishes, either!). was planning on making gnocchi originaly for the sauce but i got a head cold and just didn't have the energy, and it was fine--the rigatoni ended up being perfect actually. we drank a zinfandel with it, i can't remember what.
dessert was extra wine and chocolates from garrison chocolates in providence--chocolate covered crystallized ginger and candied orange peel.
Steak Diane
baked potato
mushrooms and peas
Piper Sonoma Brut
Godiva chocolates
Deb did the cooking, I did the dishes.
I think I'm an alpa cook... Anyway, we had a bottle of Piper Heidsick bubbly while I made roasted rack of lamb (with honey, mustard, garlic, mint, and rosemary), red wine sauce, roasted squash, and glazed shallots. We drank a 2001 Ridge Paso Robles Zin. Fantastic! Then we ate some fancy chocolates and danced the night away. Literally - for some reason we were cranking old Van Halen, including that tune.
I was feeling Indian, so I made spicy almond chicken, muttar, pomegranate raita and some basmati rice. Paired with a slightly chilled, young Cote du Rhone.
I almost feel guilty. I used to cook all day but we both work and there's a little one at home to consider. Fewer courses these days than there used to be.
Caesar salad with homemade dressing *with* anchovies (cheated and used bought croutons)
Veal marsala with prosciutto
Gorgonzola risotto from this site (very good but not $25,000 worth - I still prefer Julia's wild mushroom risotto)
Homemade amaretto truffles with pistachios
Sparkling non-alcoholic pear cider (so all ages could partake)
On the up side, the little one said it was the best "chicken" she ever tasted and could I make it every night, please?
re: rockycat
Well we're celebrating our Valentine's on Sunday - I had to work and there just isn't time on the weeknight for us! The menu:
Whole steamed artichokes with lemon-butter dipping sauce & another caper mayo style one
The toasted pistachio & gorgonzola dolce (glad to hear it was good, we're halving ours)
Salmon Fillet Wrapped In Prosciutto With Herby Lentils, Spinach And Yogurt
Sticky toffee pudding
re: lollya
We halved the risotto also and still have quite a bit left over. That's fine. Leftover risotto is an awesome midnight snack.
I wonder if ours was only very good as opposed to superlative since we didn't use an All-Clad pan and our chicken broth cost quite a bit less than $3.99 a cup...
re: rockycat
haha. I don't know, but if it's halved it's halved. Still will cook the same, just less of it!
I'm glad it was good and worth it. I don't fancy mushrooms, so I hope it's okay.
I'll let you know how mine turns out rocky.
We spent the day digging out from an ice and snow storm (as did many other posters). Then we shared a dip in the outdoor hottub and some Gruet Sparkling Rose. Dinner (cooked by us both) was duck breast with shallot and red wine sauce, mushroom tortellini with mushroom and shallot sauce, salad with blue cheese, walnuts, and pears. Dessert was the salted caramels from Fran's that I'd special ordered for him last week as a Valentine treat. We finished the sparkling pinot noir with the duck breast; one bottle of wine on top of all the exercise about did us in ;-)

A FATHER and son were left dangling from a schooner's mast when a paragliding treat in Northern Cyprus went disastrously wrong.
Richard Brown and his 14-year-old son Aled were left suspended 25ft above the boat's deck after the speedboat towing their parachute made a catastrophic miscalculation.
Instead of soaring over the high-masted pleasure cruiser, the parachute became stuck in the top mast, leaving the pair dangling and helpless.
The crew of the Gulet Sabrina grabbed all available cushions and padding to soften the impact in case the pair fell to the deck.
But the parachute and strapping were firmly stuck in the mast and rigging.
Father and son were left dangling for almost half an hour while the Sabrina crew tried to rescue them.
Virtually the whole of the Escape Beach Resort came to a standstill as hundreds of holidaymakers watched the drama unfold.
The Sabrina had stopped for a swimming pit stop at the Turkish Cypriot resort popular for jetskiing, paragliding and banana-boating.
Watching on frantically was Aled's mum Sharon Brown, who was raised in Mold and attended St David's Primary School before going on to St Richard Gwyn High in Flint.
The former Wrexham Maelor Hospital nurse had her heart in her mouth as the delicate operation to extricate her husband and son from their perilous position continued.
Eventually crewman Namik Rizki was hoisted up the mast in a breeches buoy to the pair.
He managed to free Aled first and to loud cheers and clapping, he brought him down before repeating the feat to rescue Mr Brown, a 47-year-old health worker from Pontadawe, near Swansea.
The couple's two other sons, Geralt, 19, and 16-year-old Rhodri, had stayed home in South Wales.
"I told them not to go," said Mrs Brown, who met her husband at a hospital in Swansea after moving down to a job there following her training at the Maelor.
Mr Brown insists he did not panic when their parachute got caught in the mast.
"I knew we were in trouble when I felt a sudden jerk and we were hanging in mid air," he said.
Aled said he had expressed some fear as the chute snagged.
Mr Brown, who was carrying the weight of his son's body as well as his own from the strapping, suffered bruised ribs and arms and was happy to get back on terra firma.

Brad Womack as The Bachelor: Confirmed!by Free Britney at . Comments
It was a night The Bachelor fans will never forget.
Three summers ago, on the 11th season finale, Brad Womack shattered the hearts of both Deanna Pappas and Jenni Croft, earning a place in reality TV infamy.
This coming season, he'll get a shot at redemption.
"At first I was skeptical," Bachelor host Chris Harrison says of Womack starring on The Bachelor, which was confirmed last night. "But the more I thought about it, the more I fell in love with the idea of him coming back, getting another shot."
The Austin bar owner was confident he made the right choice to be alone, but faced great fan and media backlash over the unprecedented Bachelor maneuver.
Host-pimp Chris says Womack didn't deserve that.
"I don't think Brad deserved as much of the anger and resentment from the fans. He's come out a much better man and I think he's ready to do this again."
What do you think of Brad Womack as The Bachelor: Reloaded?
I honestly don't know why he would have to "change" anything. He didn't have a marriage connection with either of the two remaining women and decided (instead of being phony, going into a loveless marriage, possible children born into dysfunction & an inevitable divorce) to not pick anyone. I myself while watching that season, thought "OMG how could he do that." But he (for all that reality tv is) did the right thing. It does ere on the side of impossibility that you would find romance in such a forum, but damnit, I've know many a great relationship to be made under the most unlikely of circumstances. Plus the man (in my opinion) Is HOT as hell and I for one will definitely be watching. :)

As more information has become available about the victims of the horrific shooting at an Aurora, Colo., movie theater last week, three men who died are being touted as romantic heroes of a sort.
According to various reports, Jonathan Blunk, 26, a father of two small children, died protecting girlfriend Jansen Young. Alex Teves, 24, pushed Amanda Lindgren out of the line of fire. And Matt McQuinn, 27, covered girlfriend Samantha Yowler, who took a bullet to the knee. (Reports indicate that Yowler's brother, Nick, also used his body to protect his sister.)
One Wall Street Journal editor has ticked off a lot of people. On Tuesday evening, James Taranto, a Wall Street Journal columnist and editor of the WSJ's editorial page, Opinion Journal.com, tweeted the following: "I hope the girls whose boyfriends died to save them were worthy of the sacrifice."
Upon reading that, I clapped my hand to my forehead. I imagine some of you did the same.
The young men in question, either by instinct or by choice, threw their bodies on top of these girls to save their lives. Clearly, they believed the young women in question were worthy of the sacrifice.
And you know who gets to decide that? The guys who died protecting them. Not you. Not me. Not some opinions editor from the Wall Street Journal. Not the Twitterverse. If you take a bullet for someone, I believe it was up to you and you alone to determine if the sacrifice was worthwhile. The decision, most likely, will be a split-second reflex.
"No one knows how they would react in this kind of situation," a friend said.
I can't speak from experience, thank God, but I imagine that when bullets are flying there isn't a lot of time to weigh the pros and cons of your reflexes.
Indeed, one might hope that a person whose life has been spared by the sacrifice of another person might live his or her life in a way that honors the gift she was given. However, to say "I hope they were worthy of the sacrifice" seems to imply that we'll be watching to make sure.
After Taranto's tweet was met with unfavorable responses, such as "you sir are disgusting" and "worthy is irrelevant, loved is relevant," he attempted to explain himself with an article titled "Heroes of Aurora, a mea culpa for an errant tweet."
"In instinctively making the ultimate sacrifice, each of these men proved the depth of his devotion," Taranto writes. "... These three women owe their lives to their men. ... The closest they can come to redeeming it is to use the gift of their survival, well, to live good, full, happy lives."
It goes without saying that we hope these girls, and all the survivors, will live full, happy lives.
This is one of those times when the appropriate thing is to not speak your mind. When you publicly throw down that challenge of "I hope she's worthy," it's just stepping where you don't belong.
"This tweet was insensitive, and I hope writers/editors give extra thought to declarative statements -- all public statements, even when they are on social media. They certainly should ...," my friend said.
Taranto has every right, under the First Amendment, to say exactly what he said. But that doesn't mean he should have. Despite all the outlets available to us for expressing our innermost thoughts to the masses, there are plenty of instances in which silence is still golden. And even more in which a moment's pause before pressing a "post" button is priceless.
Maybe Jansen Young, Samantha Yowler and Amanda Lindgren will go on to live rich, full, giving lives. Maybe they'll each change the world a little bit. Maybe they will live better, will live for Jonathan Blunk, Matt McQuinn and Alex Teves, who are no longer here, except in the memories of those who loved them and in the esteem of those who have come to admire their sacrifice in the wake of Aurora.
But maybe they won't. And while that would be unfortunate, I know I won't be watching, eagle-eyed, to see whether these young women will prove themselves worthy of the gift each of them was given. They were already declared so by the men who saved them. How they choose to live their lives from here on out is up to them.

Metro proposes to increase bus and rail fares by about 5 percent, raise parking rates and eliminate a controversial rush-hour surcharge this summer to overcome a $116 million shortfall in its next operating budget.
The actual amount of increases would vary by trip, but riders who use paper Farecards would face the biggest change. Whether going two stops or 10, they would pay one-way flat fares: $6 during rush hour, $4 in off-peak times. For a group traveling together, hailing a taxi might quickly become more palatable.

As city preps to fight remap lawsuit, alderman asked to preserve documents
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com April 24, 2013 12:56PM
Richard Mell
Updated: May 28, 2013 7:53PM
Chicago aldermen are being asked to preserve all "documents and other written instruments" pertaining to Chicago's new ward map — including e-mails, texts and memos — to avoid jeopardizing the city's case in a high-stakes legal battle.
"The city's case is strong and we do not want to jeopardize our position with any potential accusations that pertinent documents were destroyed, misplaced or discarded," Rules Committee Chairman Richard Mell (33rd) wrote fellow aldermen last week in a letter similar to the one sent out by Corporation Counsel Stephen Patton.
In the April 16 letter, Mell noted that city attorneys had appeared in federal court on that day to defend the remap process as well as the city's decision to implement the new boundaries two years before the next aldermanic election.
"The judge granted the plaintiffs limited discovery, which may include a request for documents and other written instruments [e-mails, phone texts, written memos, etc.] from members of the City Council," Mell wrote.
"As a result, I am communicating to you…the necessity of preserving all such documentation presently in your possession that pertains to the remapping process."
When negotiations nearly came to blows, Ald. Pat O'Connor (40th), Mayor Rahm Emanuel's City Council floor leader, helped broker a compromise, delivered the 41 votes needed to avoid a referendum and used an obscure parliamentary maneuver to muscle it through the City Council without delay in January, 2012.
On Wednesday, O'Connor acknowledged that the bargaining got heated at times and, "There were a few rooms I was in where I wouldn't want to have to speak those things in front of my children." But, he doubts whether anything damaging to the city's case was put in writing.
"I'm not aware of any texts that get exchanged during those things. Most of what's done is face-to-face," he said.
"We just didn't want to incur the wrath of a federal court judge by looking like we destroyed things — because clearly, there is nothing to destroy. ...It's a precaution to ensure that we don't take a good case and harm it by having someone think we were hiding the ball."
Platintiffs' attorney Tom Geoghegan refused to discuss the Mell and Patton letters.
Three weeks ago, the League of Women Voters and 14 individuals filed a federal lawsuit seeking to overturn Chicago's new ward map on grounds that it violates the one-man, one-vote principle and uses "grotesque shapes and boundaries" held together by a narrow alley in some cases to protect incumbents.
They're seeking to have the "incumbent protection" map — with wards that differ in population by as much as 8.7 percent — replaced by boundaries divided equally by population and drawn by an "impartial blue-ribbon commission" or "special appointee."
They're also asking a federal judge to prohibit City Hall from immediately implementing the disputed boundaries in decisions impacting everything from zoning, traffic, transportation and housing to sanitation, licensing and how aldermen spend their neighborhood-improvement allowance.
Geoghegan quoted O'Connor as saying the map was drawn that way to get the 41 votes needed to avoid a referendum on competing ward maps that would have let the voters decide.
"That may be politics. That may be the `Chicago Way.' But, there are rules of law that have to apply. One of those rules is one- person, one-vote. Another rule is, you don't put in the map early so you have access to the voters you're gonna be in front of in 2015 if those voters haven't consented to it," he said.
Without a vote to spare, the City Council approved a map that includes 13 Hispanic wards and two Hispanic "influence" wards" to reward Hispanics for their 25,218-person population gain in the 2010 U.S. Census.
The new boundaries endanger roughly a half-dozen incumbents also includes 18 black wards, down from 19 currently, despite a 181,453-person drop in Chicago's black population.

The third front in Afghanistan: the American public
The US must convince its Afghan allies of its commitment to developing a stable nation. That can't happen without US public support.
New York
Recent polls show that a majority of Americans believe the war in Afghanistan is not worth fighting. This is said to weigh heavily on President Obama as he considers Gen. Stanley McChrystal's request to focus on counterinsurgency and add 40,000 troops to the field.
Ideally, when leaders deliberate over a proposed foreign policy, they consider whether it furthers the national interest, not whether the public supports it at the moment. A paradox of US democracy is that people expect their officials to ignore them from time to time.
Leaders generally depend on two assumptions when making foreign-policy decisions: (1) that the public will support what emerges as good policy over the long term, and (2) that a foreign policy's effectiveness is divorced from domestic public support.
Under normal circumstances, the public could expect Mr. Obama to focus only on the question of whether the war's goals are worth its costs, ignoring the transitory polls.
The situation in Afghanistan, however, throws this model out the window. Today, the American public is the newest front in winning the conflict in Afghanistan.
Obama's consideration of public opinion shows that the administration recognizes that the public might not support even a successful long-term effort, and this lack of support might doom an otherwise effective mission.
What are some of the reasons for lagging support?
Because the war's goals are vague and abstract (e.g., building democracy and stability) and difficult to measure (e.g., making terrorism less likely), the public might deem any long-term mission obscure and wasteful – even an effective one.

had my first batch in the fermenter for a week as of yesterday. decided to take a gravity reading just now. i was sure that i must have done something wrong, that this wouldn't possibly turn into beer.
but, sure enough--the gravity is nearing the FG mentioned in the kit (true brew american wheat).
it tasted a bit watery, but given that i used no specialty grains or spices or anything--if this finishes up just a bit better than it currently is, i'd be happy with it and an orange slice.
i realize there's nothing in this post for anyone else, but me. just had to get it out there! i made beer! i guess this is my 'hello world'! can't wait for batch #2.
now i just have to keep reminding myself, "those bubbles on the top were probably just CO2, it's fine, it's clean, and you won't mess it up down the stretch."
when this isn't worrisome--it's fun!
What a country!
Awesome feeling, isn't it? Just watch though, now you get sucked deeper and deeper into the hobby.

Isn't brewing great?! I brewed a dozen or so batches a couple of years ago(traveled and gave it up), then got back into it 3 months ago. I am loving it 120 gallons and 3 months later. watch out for the bug though, soon you will be spending $$$ to save $$, it'll all come out in the wash (finally, I just brewed a 5G rye at 1.056 OG beer tonight for $20-that's saving money!) $2.31 6-pack! yeah!

Dozens came out to the United Circle of Caring Memorial in Stevens Point to remember the legacy of three special people. Today, United Way unveiled three new names engraved in the memorial.
Joan Joerns, Edie Kraus and Sherry McHone were all honored for their support to the United Way Endowment. Each donated money to help support the United Way in their mission to bring people together and strengthen the community.
Fred Hebblewhite, director of resource development for United Way, said, "I knew all three of these people personally, so I thought this was a very important thing for us to do."
Each of the three honored have had very close ties with United Way. In fact, Edie Kraus was the first woman elected board president for the organization almost three decades ago.

I was home alone one Friday night around 2001 watching, as was tradition, one of the music shows which came on at SABC 1 during that period. It could've been Studio Mix during its dying years, or Basiq with Azania, or Castle Loud with Unathi and Stoan. The first video played after a Telkom ad.
Wednesday, June 4th, 2014
One evening while channel surfing at home, I stumbled upon what sounded like a rap cypher* on the radio. Quickly, I got up to look for an empty cassette tape nearby. Once I found one (a see-through Sonotech C-60 if...

Hello again, everyone....
|Tue, 02-14-2012 - 6:17pm
I'd talk with both the principal and your grandfather, and ask that the plan be changed.
|Tue, 02-14-2012 - 6:49pm
Since it is already set up it might be difficult to change at the last minute and might be considered disrepectful of the VFW members.
|Tue, 02-14-2012 - 7:27pm
Let us know how it goes!
|Tue, 02-14-2012 - 8:45pm
That is my husband's view - suck it up and do it - I just hate to see her SO upset over something that is supposed to be rewarding.
|Tue, 02-14-2012 - 9:53pm
I don't have a problem with these types of events (not that I'm "honored" with any regularity, lol!) but I think that the "suck it up" advice STINKS! It sounds like your dd is really miserable about this- not feeling a little awkward or not knowing what to say, but "I feel like I'm going to throw up" miserable (actually, she sounds like, " I AM going to throw up" - perhaps on the presenter). If I were you, I'd call your grandfather tonight and lay down the law- say, "I love you and I'm so happy that you wanted to do something special to honor dd, but this just won't work. Dd has an anxiety issue and the thought of being in this type of situation is literally making her ill. I am contacting the principal tonight to let him/her know that I will be keeping dd at home until we speak and I make sure that dd won't be put into this situation."
NO ONE can really know how your dd is feeling, but it sounds like this is way more than just your average nerves or teenage embarrassment. Most professionals advise NOT forcing shy/anxious kids into new situations,
|Wed, 02-15-2012 - 7:34am
There are uncomfortable situations and then there are panic inducing situations. I don't think this is something that should be forced on anyone.
Even in adulthood, people will avoid public reception of awards.

Hey 'Taxman,' take a listen to this!
The Beatles, holding up MBE awards above, wrote the song "Tax Man" after they were slapped with a Super Tax, which they subjected them to paying 98 percent of their income in taxes.
The song you're probably hearing the most right now -- as filing deadline approaches -- is the Beatles' "Taxman." Like most tax-related songs, the Beatles had a bone to pick about taxes -- specifically the "Super Tax."
The Robert Cray Band sings the "1040 Blues," but Cray assures that he still loves the U.S. (and California) too much to leave it. Johnny Cash laments the bracelet for his farm, fence for his farm, Pontiac and the shirt off his back that the I.R.S. took from him. Johnny Paycheck said "to hell with the I.R.S.," which probably didn't help him when the I.R.S. sued him for $100,000 in back taxes.
But there is one song that has an upbeat attitude about taxes, "I Paid My Income Tax Today." It's a perky beat about a citizen who paid his income taxes and and "never cared what Congress spent." Yeah, the government was behind this ditty to encourage citizens to pay the new-fangled income tax.
Here's Bob's playlist:
1. 1040 Blues by Robert Cray Band
2. I Paid My Income Tax Today by Gene Autry (written by Irving Berlin)
3. After Taxes by Johnny Cash
4. Me and the I.R.S. by Johnny Paycheck
5. This Isn't What The Governmeant by Bread

Supports the recently launched online grassroots campaign "Take Action. Write to Minister Lebel" that aims at engaging dialogue on the national importance of transit and making sure public transit becomes a central-pillar of the next long-term plan
November 18, 2010
Plan would expand "transportation," improve "timeliness" and upgrade "technology." These three themes reflect public feedback to add more transit that goes to more places, more frequently, faster, on time and with improved customer amenities, especially the technology to check schedules and status of buses or trains online and from mobile devices.
November 3, 2010
At an awards presentation in Scarborough, England, last week, IAP2 honored projects from New South Wales and Logan City, Australia; Vancouver, Canada; Washington D.C. and Phoenix. Vancouver's TransLink won IAP2's Innovation Award, with Metro placing second.

Bush's talents, several new hacking incidents, Anonymous allegedly tango downs the NSA, creepy stalking of FOX News' Roger Ailes' family, Michael Moore says more stupid things about gun laws, gamer news and more. Read below for these stories and more. ============================================ Social Media Trends, Happenings and Faux Pas. ============================================ C'mon,who doesn't like a good dongle joke? Apparently, according to the developer in question, the woman who complained actually misunderstood part of his comments. The whole thing sounds like a bad game of telephone blown horribly out of proportion. How "dongle" jokes got two people fired—and led to DDoS attacks: "Developer evangelist" offended by developer, tweets outrage, both are fired That's some powerful anti-gun propaganda, but legislating by emotion rarely produces a good outcome. Yoko Ono tweets against guns showing Lennon's bloody glasses Excellent showing for two popular law bloggers, Ken White from Popehat and Prof. Richard Epstein, for Reddit's Ask Me Anything sessions. Two makes a trend: Reddit "Ask Me Anythings" ============================================ Hoaxes, Harassment and Hacking. ============================================ Blog comment at BlazingCatFur about Black Panthers prompts police visit after Toronto school board spokesperson complains. Toronto School Board Spokesperson Sends Police Out To Hassle One Of Its Critics Hijacked Twitter account blasted out tweets like, "Saudi weather station down due to head on-collision with camel." Syrian hacktivists hijack BBC Weather feed Experts lift the lid on hacking crew. 'TeamSpy' snooped on governments, big biz undetected for 10 years Update on the attacks against Spamhaus. How whitehats stopped the DDoS attack that knocked Spamhaus offline He exposed George W. Bush's secret talents, then he hacked Colin Powell, then he leaked Sidney Blumenthal's emails to expose allegedly sensitive Benghazi memos sent to Hillary Clinton. Now he's released a trove of more images of Bush's oil paintings. Guccifer seems like a strange bird. Hacker 'Guccifer' goes after George W. Bush and billionaire mogul with latest breaches I sort of think this was maybe the work of a few rogue Anon wannabes who noticed the NSA website was down and decided to turn it into a PR opportunity. But hey, we just report what we see and watch for new developments. Anonymous Claims to Take Down NSA Website Sadly, this stalking behavior sounds all too familiar. Anti-Fox Author Accused of Stalking Roger Ailes' Family ============================================ Law and Order. ============================================ It's a blessing that Michael Moore does not make the laws. Albeit, he thinks he does, but thankfully we have a system that protects us from him, sort of. Unethical Quote of the Week: Michael Moore This one is a bit of a niche interest, but it's a hilarious infamous case that all bloggers should be following. Here's the latest update. Rakofsky Case – The Sanctions Motions (Updated) One of these days, the courts will get it right. Sorry Fair Use, Court Says News Clipping Service Infringes On AP Copyrights ============================================ Gamer-land. ============================================ I wrote about this myself, having taken the "limited government and individual responsibility" stance when it comes to video games.

Seventh-graders across our area got a day out of the classrooms, but it was not for fun. The students made a trip over to the University of Virginia for a career fair.
Forty exhibitors, 2,000 seventh graders, and a two day event.
"This is a chance for kids to explore work opportunities that are in their community. It is a chance to figure out about their career pathways, and to explore," said Sue Sheffield of Albemarle County Public Schools.
The career fair inside University of Virginia's Newcomb Hall allowed students from Charlottesville and surrounding counties to get a better understanding of almost every job.
"I liked seeing a lot of the technological careers. Also, I thought that some of the medical careers looked pretty interesting," said 7th grader Josh Zimmerman.
"I learned that the news is good in all the jobs and stuff, said 7th grader Trent Lee.
The opportunities were endless for the future leaders. The 7th graders showed interest in brick-laying, the military, police work, and the culinary arts.
There were even kids there who wanted to be television news reporter.
"I think it sounds really cool that you get to see new people, go new places, and have fun," said 7th grader Brie Bryant.
"I like to know about what is going on in my community, and I like to talk with people, and do things like that," said 7th grader Carol Dougherty.
The career fair has been happening each year since the early 1990s.
