What's for Dinner, Saturday, 2/12 - cjs - 02-12-2011 What's on everyone's menu for tonight? Until I got further into Central Market and we went crazy, I had planned on having leftover Greek Hobo for dinner tonight, but now, I'm in a quandry. I'll probably do something with mushrooms and a truffle pizza with the other mushrooms (and maybe a little truffle) tomorrow night....decisions. Re: What's for Dinner, Saturday, 2/12 - Harborwitch - 02-12-2011 We are finally going to break out of our shell and go to a pot luck here tonight. I'm not sure what I'm going to take - had thought mac & cheese but noticed no one was bringning a salad or veggie. ???????? They're serving Chicken Cordon Blue (this could be interesting - the guy they have cooking for events here is spectacularly blech. I'm hoping he's not cooking the chicken.

Today is baking for Valentine's Day and Mom's birthday, so whatever I can put together will be out meals for the day. Re: What's for Dinner, Saturday, 2/12 - Gourmet_Mom - 02-12-2011 We're having Theresa's Review Dinner. I'm anxious to see if we like it. I'm going to add the Mango and Pepper Salad to the meal. I know we like that, so William won't be too bummed out. Re: What's for Dinner, Saturday, 2/12 - DFen911 - 02-12-2011 I'm doing the perfect rib roast again. They were on sale and I could not resist Re: What's for Dinner, Saturday, 2/12 - Trixxee - 02-12-2011 I was saving my rib-eyes for tomorrow but we're having them today, along with asparagus and a yet to be determined starch. Maybe french fries. Re: What's for Dinner, Saturday, 2/12 - karyn - 02-12-2011 It's finally beginning to warm up around here, so I'm grilling tritip and asparagus. I'm also thawing some dinner rolls that I'll bake off. Possible a salad, too. I'm really looking forward to the tritip. It's one of my favorites.

Barbara Re: What's for Dinner, Saturday, 2/12 - labradors - 02-12-2011 Leftover tikka masala for dinner, but made Monte Cristos for lunch. Re: What's for Dinner, Saturday, 2/12 - cjs - 02-13-2011 Oh, we had a wonderful dinner last night - I'd forgotten how much I love Skate. This dish is not flashy, just wonderful subtle flavors. Here's the recipe if anyone is interested - Skate Casserole – 2 to 4 servings (more like 5) 1 pound skate fillet -- cut 1/2" pieces 1 cup sliced mushrooms 3 celery stalks -- diced 4 tablespoons grated onion 1/2 cup minced green pepper 1/2 cup cracker crumbs 6 tablespoons butter or margarine 2 cups milk 4 tablespoons grated Cheddar cheese 4 tablespoons flour 1/8 teaspoon basil 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper 1 pinch nutmeg Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter or margarine in a saucepan. Add mushrooms celery, onion, green pepper and basil. Sauté for about 10 minutes or until celery is tender. While mushrooms are sautéing make sauce by melting 4 tablespoons of butter or margarine in the top of a double boiler. Stirring constantly, gradually add the flour. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg. Slowly pour in milk. Cook and stir for about 6 minutes until sauce is thick and smooth. Add skate to mushroom mixture and cook for about 5 minutes. Combine skate and mushroom mixture with the white sauce and stir well. Pour mixture into a casserole dish. Cover with cracker crumbs and top with grated cheddar cheese. Bake for approximately 20 minutes at 350 degrees or until casserole is golden brown. This recipe yields 2 to 4 servings.
