What's for Dinner, Saturday - 8/27? - cjs - 08-27-2011 What's on everyone's menu for today - not much fun cooking going on back east, that's for sure. It's Pizza day around here! I'm making one for brunch (from the leftovers from yesterday's tasting) and then tonight another pizza party at the 'wood-fired pizza oven' neighbors. Have to take an hors, but don't know what yet. Re: What's for Dinner, Saturday - 8/27? - BarbaraS - 08-27-2011 Well, if we don't lose power, 40 cloves and a chicken! Haven't done that one in a while and since we'll be alone with each other, who cares that we smell like a garlic patch? Barbara Re: What's for Dinner, Saturday - 8/27? - Trixxee - 08-27-2011 We wound up just doing pizza delivery last night as we had an A/C repair man here during the dinner hour. Didn't want to be grilling steaks while he was working away. So tonight it's rib eyes, corn and salad. Re: What's for Dinner, Saturday - 8/27? - Gourmet_Mom - 08-27-2011 Don't laugh....William suggested I pick up some Spam yesterday, and once the idea of a fried Spam Sandwich got in my head, I couldn't get it out. So that was dinner last night. So we'll have the burgers and corn tonight. Re: What's for Dinner, Saturday - 8/27? - cjs - 08-27-2011 Spam sounds good to me! Oh my Lord, clean the frig pizza is so good!! And, Bill & Jane's method for par-baking and freezing pizza dough really works so well. I probably will not be without a frozen-par-baked crust in the freezer ever!! Can you believe all of this was on one little pizza??? marinara mozz spinach fennel pork (cooked ins Passata sauce YUM!) clam grilled zucc carrots, grated red onion chedar/pepperjack It was a wonderful flavored pizza. Re: What's for Dinner, Saturday - 8/27? - Mare749 - 08-27-2011 Gosh that looks good, Jean! Didn't know what to make for dinner before seeing your photo. I'm going to go mix up some dough! Re: What's for Dinner, Saturday - 8/27? - Gourmet_Mom - 08-27-2011 I just made William sick, Jean....LOL! Those hamburger aren't going to be so good, now! Re: What's for Dinner, Saturday - 8/27? - BarbaraS - 08-27-2011 Nothing like peeling 4 bulbs of garlic... 4 lbs whole chickens, cut into 8 pieces 1/2 cup olive oil 2 tablespoons olive oil 10 sprigs fresh thyme 40 garlic cloves, peeled 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon black pepper Directions: 1)Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil and brown on both sides in a wide fry pan or skillet over high heat. 2)Remove from heat, add oil, thyme, and garlic cloves. Cover and bake for 1 1/2 hours. 3)Remove chicken from the oven, let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Courtesy of Alton Brown. Barbara Re: What's for Dinner, Saturday - 8/27? - cjs - 08-27-2011 I think the only time I made 40 clove Chicken was when I was still at the hotel and I had the commercial containers of peeled garlic....never since then. good on you! Re: What's for Dinner, Saturday - 8/27? - Old Bay - 08-27-2011 Jean I'm so glad the par baking worked for you!!! Question--no matter how thin we make the crust it still rises during baking--should we let it sit longer? Sometime people (including me) want a thin crust--any suggestions?
