PrintWhat are you eating this weekend?
Saturday's eating was an adventure of Doughnuts n' Dumplings...and due to my earlier posting of "inexpensive meals on Saturday", I received wonderful suggestions from all and went with Vanessa's Dumplings. Thanks to BOBEATSBIG -- great dumplings and wonder how they can afford to stay in business? I guess it must be volume of customers as the place was packed with standing room only. Anyway, I went with the Beef Congee for 75 cents and pork n' chive dumplings and a sesame pancake with ham and poached egg...all excellent...I even bought a bag of frozen dumplings- 50 pcs. for $8.00-tasty food-great price...My friends were very happy with their steamed buns, chicken corn soup and and crab dumplings & bubble teas (Taro and Almond Honey) ..next time it's Pho Grand, a suggestion from Vegetarianka
Next stop Doughnut Plant-being too stuffed from Vanessa's we just brought home our doughnuts--POOCH are you reading this? We essentially bought out the place....the blackberry jelly made with fresh blackberries was bursting with jelly & delicious! Creme brulee: don't let the size fool you-packs a whallop of flavor! That doughnut is a must have--also bought the pistachio, tres leches, blackout, carrot cake and even a cinnamon bun...Guy behind the counter was very helpful and told me which ones freeze well to eat at a later time...
Today, Sunday, a more low keyed day. Eating leftovers--stuffed cabbage rolls with mashed potatoes and a salad...maybe a donuts for dessert!! I have a nice jelly one waiting for me..:o)
You guys give me the best ideas! So what are ya'll eating?

I went to my friends 40th B-day party so I had all sorts of yum yums, more like finger foods like chicken wings, smoked salmon dip, pizza, cheese and crackers, chips and salsa, but i love finger foods so it's perfect for me.

In true game-day fashion, I made a batch of Chili for me and my boyfriend--divide in two, add beef to his, and simmer for a while until game time! 'Twas delicious (and I think the leftovers will be even better).

I went to a Chinese restaurant Saturday night with a large group of friends. I have been missing Chinese cooking ever since I left home for college, and usually, I would prefer non-Chinese over Chinese! That's because I ate it everyday when I lived at home.
We ordered garlic bokchoy, crispy eggplant, hot and sour soup, seafood hotpot, mapao tofu, sesame chicken, a beef dish, and something else I don't remember. All eaten with steaming hot white rice :) It was a happy day.

I was inspired by the chicken pot pie thread here, so that's what we had -- puff pastry on top and bottom, carrots, potatoes, broccoli, and rosemary. Lots of leftovers, too! :)

I made potato leek soup (a tad gummy) with bacon on top. On the side we had my first attempt at bread from the Artisanal Bread in 5 Minutes cookbook (forgot to slash top, a bit gummy also). Dinner was nachos (perfect) and made at home DQ Peanut Buster Parfaits (more than perfect). Watched Wizard of Oz with my girl and that, too, was more than perfect!!!

I had trouble logging on last night so I'll tell you what I ate "This past weekend." We went to the homecoming parade and had a pulled pork sandwich-not so great, but it supported my grandson's soccer team. Since it was a busy homecoming day our friends called to ask us to dinner at the local BYO. Great idea! I had fried oysters with aioli sauce, a super fresh spinach salad with blue cheese, walnuts and cranberries. My entre was a moist and sweet Pocono trout/garlic mashed potatoes and Swiss chard. My dining companions had ribs with blue maytag coleslaw, a rack of lamb and sturgeon.
Yesterday I bought two pork butts for 89 cents a pound!!! I cooked the love into them with orange juice and ginger and made carnitas with guacamole, roasted corn, tomato salsa and sour cream. Guess what's for dinner tonight? I'll have plenty to freeze for a busy night later this month.

I had a few friends over for one of the girls' bday brunch on Saturday. The menu included roasted potatoes, poached eggs, smoked salmon with cucumbers and tomatoes and thyme cream cheeese and an amazing fruit salad.
and then after a nap we made biscotti! Fun times!

Friday (first day of graduate school. hurrah!): Fresh yellowtail flounder from our CSF, cleaned and baked covered with a mixture of olive oil and chopped local tomatoes, onion and jalapeno.
Saturday: homemade fettuccine with carbonara sauce.
Sunday: garlic and herb rubbed roasted pork tenderloin served with sauteed local collard greens with carrots, jalapeno and green onion (greens failed miserably. not my best work.)
