Steak off the grill and some spicy boneless chicken wings on the side. Also with a kriek (cherry) lambicus on the side. Because I am a Free American. ![]() |

Seafood stew.
I had Ripley make a mir poix(sans carrots cuz that's how I roll), then I added a blend of spices, including black pepper, hot pepper flakes, Mrs Dash, paprika, garlic salt and a lot of old bay. I added fresh chopped garlic, two squeezed oranges, a quarter of the big bottle of Louisiana hot sauce...5oz?... Half a bottle of white wine, Two boxes of seafood stock, then two large cans of diced tomato, and four little cans of tomato paste. Let that roll for probably 20 minutes on high heat, stirring a few times. I added a can of okra, a can of green beans, and a can of those whole white potatoes that are already cooked.... chopped to soup size... Taking my time, still on high heat, but not boiling... Now the good stuff...a small bag of frozen mussels (20 mussels maybe), and one of big bay scallops...two 3oz fillets of talapia, one of salmon, one cod, one white bass,(I cubed all of the fish), and a largish can of real crab meat(12oz?).... claws mostly, but shredded up.. That gives the stew some viscosity. Shrimp last, and reduce the heat. Orange slices spiral cut will garnish each bowl, and each will get a soccer game snack style orange wedge plunked in. Everyone is taking a nap right now... Last week, I had a 3 hour nap, while they watched a movie... Spencer fell victim to my ridiculously overly comfortable sofa. Then Ripley, worn out from slaving over onions oil and celery... And finally, Amanda's magazine pulled her eyelids down. A good time to sneak in some pottery, and recount my culinary victory. Its fookin yummeh.

LJ I can't deny that looks and sounds gorgeous, but despite your beard you are not Jebus.
So why are you trying to feed the 5,000? Seriously, does that freeze? Or are teenage appetites a factor here? Please send some using Bruce's secret helicopter which he "liberated" when he retired...

It's really only 10 quarts. But yeah. I sent a big tub home with the kids, a large chinee take out soup container with Amanda, and I still have about a gallon left. I'll take half to work and share it.

Jim says he's going to come cook for us in the UK.
He really will. He didn't type this or anything, he just projected it into my brain, so I know it's true. I told him he can leave out the okra though, and he was okay with that.

You have to get here first, Ortho
![]() Beef stir-fry tonight. I'm worried about the amount of beef available. I may sneakily have mine veggie, so there's enough meat for the 'rents. Seafood risotto on Friday - Catholic household of course. Dad doesn't have to observe due to age and health, but does out of habit. Mum is most likely to shrug it off, but then she goes to Mass for Stations of the Cross every Friday, so I think she feels she evens things out with Him. She's going to defrost some extra prawns for me to put in it. Which makes it a luxury meal in my eyes. I'm making an effort to prepare and cook meals for the three of us these days. The prawns are her way of saying she appreciates that. Frozen prawns of love. And no okra.

Do I cook something that I have in the fridge? Do I order pizza from the place I can walk to? Do I drive a short distance and get different cheap restaurant items? Do I drive further to the supermarket and get similarly-priced ready to eat meals with real veggies? I am stuck. I have pasta and sauce. I have beans, I have frozen veggies. I have eggs. All that is nutritious. I even have fresh broc. I might even have a frozen salmon chunk, but I don't know how old it is. Maybe if I looked at it, I could tell. But maybe I don't want frozen salmon. All I do with it is broil it and eat it. I could make a sauce. But now we're into over a half hour of preparation, when the local burrito place puts a wide variety of things into one big burrito, and it's always very tasty. I could go get that and be back in less than a half hour. But now I've been thinking about it for a half hour when I would already be eating anyway. How late do those places stay open anyway? Oh you know you can get a burrito up until 10 pm, but after about 8 pm you know all the burrito fillings are getting pretty gross, I don't know if you should order from them after about 8 pm, maybe I should just get a cheesesteak from the place up the street, what time is it now?
