Dinner thread...What's cooking...

[drjeff]

Tonight was a little steak stir fry. Unfortunately I can't quite remember what spices I added, and it turned out reaaly well

Panera: cup of broccoli cheddar soup and half a chicken bacon dijon panini.

I'll second that! Now I just need to figure out a way to get around the clause in the owner's by-laws about where my place in VT is about no charcoal grilles on the decks

Easy - it's not a grill! It's a convection oven/smoker!

Oddly enough, in my community, charcoal is fine, but propane is not. This was mandated by the fire department, but it is 'enforced' by the property managers. Upon purchasing the place I noticed several propane grills on people's porches and my real estate agent said, the rule is there, but a rule is only as strong as it's enforced. I grilled probably three or four days a week all summer without issue. :grin: If I had more room on the balcony, I'd add an Orion to my culinary quiver. Our next place that will be a house warming gift to myself like my grill was for this place.

Last night was pork chops, seasoned in salt and pepper. I browned the pork chops in the bottom of the pressure cooker, added in 4 potatoes, 3/4 of a bag of baby carrots and 4 small onions. Mixed 1/2 cup of ketchup with 1/2 cup of water and threw that in there also.

I let the pressure cooker do it's thing for 20 minutes. Fantastic.

The Orion will be getting used for Thanksgiving. I'll be cooking a 20 pound fresh ham (like the ones you see in the store that are pre-cooked/smoked). I'm trying to decide if my family would prefer hickory or apple wood flavor.

The problem is the clause in the association by-laws reads "no charcoal/wood fires on the decks of the units"

That's going to make it a bit tougher

Driveway?

Driveway?

Yup, that will probably be what I'll do. Unfortunately the driveway gets hammered by the prevailing wind, so the few minutes it will take to blowtorch the charcoal and get it lit will be a cold event on many a winter day up there

But atleast the end result will be worth it! Now if I can just convince my wife that getting a second Orion is a worthwile thing, that would be great!

Be careful using the Orion in a constant wind. It will alter the cooking times.

PizzaPie

 

[mismatched]

I was x-mas shopping tonight so I grabbed Chic-fil-a at the mall.

 

[severine]

Baked this afternoon and went to the grocery store late so there was no time to make dinner. Had pepperoni pizza from Big Y. Not bad; better than the last pepperoni pizza I ordered from a local pizzeria.

I picked up Chinese food takeout on the way back from skiing..

Hot and Sour soup
Cold Sesame noodles..
Shrimp Toast...washed down with a bunch of budweiser 10 ounce cans..

We split and inhaled a Turkey/Swiss Wawa Hoagie when we gassed up in A-town around 3, gonna have some homemade Turkey/Chix Noodle soup. How come lunch threads are useless during ski season, but not dinner threads?

Needed gas, hoagie and coffee. Nothing in the southbound lane compares. Besides, I passed advanced left turns in driving school. :smash:
