What's For Dinner?

I’ll worry about these carbs later - it’s filled with love gotta eat it!

I didn't write any noted on Vivino, but one of the views sparked a vague recollection that I had with this Rioja. It mentioned uncorking it and letting it breathe for a while before drinking...T

 

I did the McDonalds drive thru.... Big Mac and poutine..... I was going to get their version of a blizzard but pulled up on it.

 

Is this kid's birthday coming up soon?!? [emoji6] Is a scientific fact that food made with love reduces carbs and calories by 50%! [emoji851] Great looking mac and cheese...T

 

Man, I wish they had poutine @ McD's here. I have watched a few YouTube videos of street food in Asia and elsewhere. Some of the stuff they have at Mickey D's in India is pretty tasty looking. Stuff that I am more likely to eat than what they have here.


Tonight...zoodles! Got two huge zucchini @ a farmers market in the microscopic town of Mountain Springs. Zoodled it up. Chucked it into a hot skillet with EVOO. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, crushed red pepper. Little tomato paste to help sop up the liquid released when you cook zoodles. Top with a little parmesan cheese, and a dollop of ricotta.

Since it's a bit cool today. Mid 80s, I figured that was a good reason to break out one of our Italian reds.

I'm a fast food junkie.... Id love to try McDonalds in India. Just have no desire to leave North America.......

 

My bro in law is in international banking, and has visited Mumbai several times. I wonder if he'll bring me back a Veggie Pizza McPuff or a Chicken Maharaja Mac!

Bland health today, and then I helped my boy deep fry bananas.

Don't think you got enough sugar on those.

It was actually even better on day # 2 after opening. I think a little extra breathing perhaps? Now I just need to remember where the heck we bought it!

Edit - bless you Google! Bought it at Goody Goody in Dallas. [emoji848] I feel a road trip coming on! [emoji2]

 

I just made a simple iceberg lettuce salad last night...... Didn't feel like opening another Kirkland pesto sauce. Think I'll do pesto linguine and chicken tonight.

 

Who knew you could buy watermelon seeds by the bag for munching?
Used some to garnish last night's dinner for the mrs.

Ooh, ooh. I knew! I knew! [emoji4]
Watermelon seeds, or pepitas, are quite popular in Mexican cuisine. If course, before moving to Texas, I would have never known that. They're great roasted with some spices...T

 

^Hey Ron...This looks like a good recipe.

The wife buys almonds, pecans, etc. in bulk from Costco, and I like roasting them myself. Never tried pepitas though...T

 

Had a big lunch at the wife's favorite Indian restaurant, so it's a light dinner of chef salad. Dressing is a homemade strawberry balsamic vinaigrette.

Enjoyed with this nice little New Zealand sauvignon blanc.

I had a big lunch too. So just downed a simple salad........ Heading into Vancouver tomorrow, so lots of calories for lunch. Decided against opening the pesto again.

 

I bought some hamburger yesterday to make homemade big macs. But since its a big package, I'm making soft beef tacos for tonight. Unless my parents want to stop for dinner on the way back from Vancouver. I have a vegetable greenhouse operation about a mile from my house. They sell veggies in their roadside stand. Its like farm fresh. So I got tomatoes, some various peppers, etc....... A cucumber for salads.

 

Meeting is likely canceled, so looks like soft beef tacos tonight..............

Thanks Tom. I do want to improve on making seasoned or candied nuts, so I may try that. I did a couple batches with carrot soups but haven't got it just right, yet.

 

Yummy. Dry aged?
