Oh gosh those tacos look delightful. Haven't had tacos in ages!

Undertoad · 06-08-2009, 12:17 PM

Tacos with srs greens, interesting! The lettuce is more like filler in most tacos, this is a good way to go.

jinx · 06-08-2009, 12:26 PM

I eat tacos a lot. Sometimes more than once a day.

I put a flat griddle over two burners and fit 4 corn tortilla shells on it.. wait a few minutes until they start to curl up, then flip. Sprinkle with a little cheese, diced chicken or a few beans, a spoon full of hot salsa, couple drops of habenero sauce and a fat slice of avocado. When melty/crispy enough, remove from heat and fold around a handful of greens.
They're so awesome...

I think the ones pictured have some red pepper in there too...

Talk about fusion meals! lol

I would never have thought of doing that.

Alluvial · 06-09-2009, 09:19 AM

I can't take credit for the idea; I came across the recipe on another board and thought I'd try it. It's a refreshing change from mayo-based salads & standard "italian" salads.

Sundae · 06-09-2009, 11:29 AM

Alluvial, I'm sure you're a lovely lady.
But you sure know how to ruin a salad.

Peanuts?
Sigh.
Might as well go ahead and put banana in it now.

Yesterday, it was brats with a side of sauteed diced radishes, radish greens, spring shallots and new potatoes.

Tonight it's going to be grilled flank steak and asparagus with ... polenta? or a little pasta? in a tarragon-caper butter sauce. Subject to change if Badger doesn't make it back from Dawl-gren at a reasonable time. Or if I just change my mind.

Turkey and Italian Sausage Meatloaf!
1: Before oven
2: After oven...I ated it before I remember to take another pic, oops.

Aliantha · 06-11-2009, 06:25 PM

Speaking of meatloaf, it's not something we 'do' over here, but i decided to make one a couple of weeks ago. It went down a treat with the family. They really loved it. I'm going to do another one soon. Hmmm...Maybe even tonight! Thanks for the inspiration mtp.

Alluvial · 06-11-2009, 07:07 PM

If you like meatloaf, you should try the meatball recipe which Jill posted in the ultimate recipe thread.

This is a platter I've put together for entree tonight.

This is a prawn salad with kiwi fruit, roasted grape tomatoes and watercress, to be served with a lime wasabi dressing.

I've also made a spinach pie and will serve boiled baby potatoes in their jackets with sour cream and chives, and we'll be BBQing the amberjack (15kg/35lb) Dazza caught last weekend.

To finish, we'll be having chocolate mud cake (cause that's what the kids wanted).

Sundae · 06-13-2009, 05:44 AM

Wow - my kinda meal!

I'm also considering a meatloaf dinner for the future too.
Trouble is, the only lw fat meatloaf recipe I have is bleurgh - I know, I tried it.

Have to go a-searching...

I made my most recent meatloaf with ground turkey instead of beef. I think it was a little less fatty. It was just as good, anyway.
