Dinner was in two decadent parts tonight:
Had an early fun meal at Austin Grill in Rockville, MD. Smokey barbacoa beef enchiladas with chipotle sauce, and gigantic margaritas! Grilled chicken wings and bites of fried cheesecake were also involved. Later, had a half of a juicy gourmet burger at Vintage Wine Bar in Philly. Topped with Manchego cheese, bacon and roasted red pepper. |

Tonight we're having slow roasted pork with baked potatoes and pumpkin. Roasted whole garlic and capsicum and zucchini with also brocoli and cauliflower in cheese sauce, all smothered in a rich thick gravy made from the pork juices.

Made an awesome Turkey "Creole". Speechmarks because I don't want anyone to be offended by the fact it was a recipe from a British Turkey site, and actually had no creole flavouring that I could see. But I added some. Well, my version. Which might be even MORE offensive.
Look, okay, I'll let you make "Cornish" pasties if you let me make Turkey "Creole". Made in advance and left to settle (covered of course). But tasting while making says nom nom nom. See what those dining think..... Mum has already intefered by buying broccoli as a side (wtf?) and saying "It's okay, I'll cook that. And the potatoes" okay, so rice & peas is out then. But I have a march on her as she's chopsing away, so at least I can try to do the two unwanted ingredients my way...? Also bought some bread - it's a more "saucy" recipe than I had expected, perhaps because of my changes. You've gotta have crusty bread if you're making a recipe in sauce, right? |

That's what the Creole's say.

Turns out there was a bit too much of a "tingle".
Still, saying that, Mum still suggests I might like to make it for the next time the Girls come round. If a little bit less "tingly". This is good, as I made the meal last time and it went down well. I can be a culinary matermind once again (mwah-ha-ha-ha!!!!) It's just this time I'll try not to get offended about any of her suggestions or amendments. Referring to the last Girl's Night, nit tonight. Hand on heart I realise that her main issue is the fact that the food is home cooked, as the only lady in her group who doesn't home cook is slightly looked down upon. |

Tonight is the last night of chicken tacos. I will be starting the filling for the shells from the chicken sausage thread because I WILL be making them tomorrow night for dinner. I will have pictures over there, too.

Falafel. With heirloom tomatoes (the real star of the show, they were... inexpressibly delicious), butter lettuce, sweet onion on pita bread. The tziki sauce I made using my girlfriend's recipe was very tasty, but thin and on the sweet side.

Only the resolutely parasitical vote for Obama or a Democratic candidate, V. You should be bitterly ashamed. But not of your cooking.
