First night dinner.....
I need some really good ideas for my first new meal in my kitchen....Brian is not a ''saucey'' person..more of a meat and potatoes type of guy....but I do want to cook something special, to celebrate our making it thru the remodel...any good ideas????? |
|
|
| How about a planked Chateaubriand for two, with piped mashed (or baked, or baked/stuffed) potatoes and grilled veggies, with a nice red wine? |
| hmmmm thats interesting...not a bad idea....but it depends on the chateaubriand....brian wont eat it if its stuffed with liver pate, but if i used mushrooms instead...he'd eat that....
so where is my recipe..?????? |
| Here are some pictures of Chateaubriand.
Ohhh this looks niiiiiiiice... 
Ooooh! Planked for ONE! 
Interesting... 
Very plain... 
Elegant. Notice it is on a board with a channel for juices? This is where I'd pipe the mashed potatoes. 
NOW I am HUNGRY!!! |

I'm hungry now too! Congrats on the new kitchen. Glad you can enjoy it now instead of worry and stress!!! |
If the wine is good enough it won't matter what the food tastes like 
I COULD give you a great recipe for a vegatarian garbanzo stew....... |

I COULD give you a great recipe for a vegatarian garbanzo stew....... I would like that please  |
No meal suggestions (the rest look delicious!), just happy thoughts to finally enjoy your new kitchen!!!!!   |
| chateaubriand isn't usually stuffed....it can be though. Are you thinking Beef Wellington?
Strange, Ron and I actually thought of the same menu.......hmmm, if we come up with a mutual wine I guess that means we'll have to meet half way and share the meal........spouses optional. So what is half way......St. Louis? |
| lol...susan...yes i WAS thinking beef wellington....I think I will go with the Chateaubriand....piped taters...and roasted veggies.....thanks guys....
btw...those pictures are AWESOME..im hungry now! |
| WHAT? No garbanzo stew????????????????? |

I've got about 4 cups of garbonzos freshly cooked. Was making hummus for husband's office party and ran out of tahini and lemon juice. So what's with the garbonzo stew........it might be dinner........recipe please. sheepieboss |
