What's for Dinner?

[1mach1]

After lunch, I was surprised I had more meatloaf! I made a big one, because I've lerned my lesson

So, meatloaf again for dinner!

Green salad with grilled chicken breast, avocado, tomato, cucumber, Colby jack cheese, bacon, and Ranch dressing. Buttered Sourdough toast on the side.

But of course. The only reason to make meatloaf is for sandwiches the next day.

Spoken like a true Belgian. I’m proud of you darling

Wings, tater tots and a local IPA at the local watering hole.

You like IPA? Did you know that the term pale ale originally denoted an ale that had been brewed from pale malt. Among the first brewers known to export beer to India was George Hodgson's Bow Brewery, on the Middlesex-Essex border. Bow Brewery beers became popular among East India Company traders in the late 18th century because of the brewery's location near the East India Docks. Demand for the export style of pale ale, which had become known as India pale ale, developed in England around 1840 and it later became a popular product there. IPAs have a long history in Canada and the United States, and many breweries there produce a version of the style.

In London, where I lived, and before the rise of the popular lager beers, the draught porter beers rarely had a decent "head" on them. The head was the term for the creamy froth on top of the beer. The reason was because the water used in the London area was very hard, meaning that it has a high mineral content. So to pep up the beer, Londoners would order half a pint of draught beer and pour a bottle of IPA into it, giving it the head that beer drinkers like.

Tonight I cooked one of our favourite meat free meals: Mushroom Stroganoff. No IPA for me, rather a chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

I love stroganoff! Looks delicious.

Thanks for the history. I knew some, but not all, of that information. Very cool.

And yes, I do enjoy IPA style beer. Along with many others

Kicking off Memorial Day weekend with hot dogs and chips. And beer

Was planning to grill some burgers, but it started pouring rain so I used the ground beef to make tacos. Refried beans, Spanish rice, guacamole, and jalapeno lemonade with vodka rounded out the meal.

This: "...jalapeno lemonade with vodka..." requires a shout out.

Have you tried infusing your own liquor with peppers? Hubby did a smoked jalapeno tequila last year to use in margaritas. He loved it so much he took it to a work party to share, and then he got several orders for it!

Pepper infused vodka is one of the key ingredients in homemade kolbasa sausage! I haven't made any in awhile, might be time for a batch.

I got hold of some jalapeno infused tequila down in Mexico years ago. Regretted that.

We had Eastern North Carolina barbecue for lunch. So probably won’t need to eat dinner, tonight.

Chicken fajitas

I made mini filet mignons wrapped in bacon with fresh asparagus.

Last night I made fried cabbage with sausage and apples, accompanied by garlic mashed potatoes and cold pbr. Blueberry cobbler for dessert.

Bar fare again this evening. Stock-in-trade shrimp, potatoes, beer. And Hendricks on the bump
against the Pirates. Chicago's bull pen is struggling. Lester finished six innings last night and the Cubs
lucked out a win. Can't ride luck or a hot streak series. Darvish is again disabled, Chatwood rumor holds is
too tightly wrapped to relax and regain control. Lotta ball yet to be played and all that jazz, but still....
Q lost a bit too. A trade for Shields may be in the offing. No bull pen, no Central D, no post season, no Series.
Maker's Mark for medicinal introspective game viewing.

Spaghetti and meatballs tonight.
