Hey all! Just caught up on todays posts.We are gonna be at 1500 by tomorrow. Woohoo to us all and especially Cyn for creating this thread for all of us to share
I was reading the dicussion in regurds to gravy and red sauce..spagetti sauce ...marinara...My knowledge on this after working in an italian ristorante is...Bolognese is meat sauce. Marinara is red sauce with no meat. It all depends on how you were brought up and where. If my mom said spagetti I knew it ment a meaty sauce with sweet italian sausage. YUM!!!
I watched Paula Dean make corn friters while getting ready for work this am. I really want to make them. I want to eat them with no guilt ha ha (like Paula Dean). A stick of butter here a stick of butter there... and she licks her fingers ha ha ha. I like her cooking, but I think it would like me alot more, and stick around if ya know what I mean
Zesty chicken over angel hair is what I made for my hub. He brought the babe to work to hve a piece of tiramisu for his birthday. Thank you from my son for the bday wishes.<33333333
I just came back from the grocery store where they had tuna steaks on special. I've been putting a lot of effort into eating fish at least twice a week to try to bring my cholesterol level down. On Sunday we had fresh sardines, which I filetted, lightly floured and pan-fried in a bit of olive oil. Squeezed lemon juice all over them and served them on top of a leafy green salad.
Tuna's quite pricey but the sardines are dirt cheap, so it evens out.
I think I'll make a small salsa to dollop on the tuna steaks which I'll just grill lightly after marinating in olive oil, garlic, lime.
Sides will be roasted asparagus and some basmati rice.
Oh how I wish we could get some fresh sardines.....my DP is Japanese and he loves the big sardines just pan fried like you say..and the little fresh sardines....he love them fried for breakfast ...and flying fish...he gets those when we are in japan and loves them.
I cooked some linguini with eggs and served it with rice as a quick meal before going out to the symphony.....didnt get home till after 10......so just heated up some shrimp bisque.....with a few frozen shrimp added to the bisque. It was good. (Not exactly on my diet....but I only had a small bowl.
Well I finally satisfied my pasta craving, made linguini and white clam sauce. Had some nice warm Italian bread and butter to mop it all up with!
I always thought red gravy was made from ham drippimgs?
Yes Ma'am it is!

Yep, looks like today is the day for that big 15,000 to hit here! Amazing....but the best part is all the fun and great information we have gotten here--and friendships! A little community of people who enjoy cooking, food and each other! Who could ask for anything better??? Good morning one and all!!!
Tonight will be the swordfish steaks I defrosted in the fridge yesterday.... I think later I will put a lime, garlic and oil marinade on them....(I think I saw that on this thread a couple of days ago) I happen to have limes in the fridge that didnt go into a pitcher of Sangria Waste Not Want Not!
