What's for Dinner? - Page 7

Ghoulish Delight · 07-17-2007, 06:57 AM

Last night I grilled up a skirt steak (or flap steak as the markets have decided to start calling them) that's been marinating since Saturday. Sauteed some veggies, and made some Spanish rice.

Saturday was a good meal too. We made a fantastic hearty potato soup with sausage. And as a first course, I made prosciutto-wrapped mozzarella slices (mmm, found some good mozzarella) with white peaches and balsamic vinaigrette.

WOW ! How bizarre.

"I had a nice bit of skirt"

sounds much better than..

"I had a great pair of flaps"

Not necessarily - in one perspective, it means you gotten much further.

This lentil salad I made is pretty good (and will be even better tomorrow). Completely vegetarian and, if you left out the Bulgarian feta, vegan.

Steamed French Lentils (2 packages from TJs)
1 red pepper
1 orange pepper
1 yellow pepper
1/2 red onion
8 green onions
1/2 Japanese cucumber
6 vine-ripened tomatoes
cubed Bulgarian feta

Dressing:
Balsamic vinegar (1/4 or 1/2 cup?)
3 cloves garlic
dried thyme (handful)
dried mint (the rest of the jar)
Olive oil to top it off.

Chop up everything and put in big bowl.
Mix dressing in separate container then add to chopped ingredients
Let sit for a bit.
Eat it for days with it getting better each day.

Each package is 17.6 oz (already cooked). And, these are the French lentils that are not split. Lentils du puy would be fine - although they are green and not brown as these are. But, they are small and whole.

Signs you are Gay . . . .

1. If you are over thirty and you have a washboard stomach, you are gay. It means you haven't sucked back enough beer with the boys and have spent your free time doing sit-ups, aerobics, and the Oprah diet.

2. If you have a cat, you are a Flaaaaming homo. A cat is like a dog, but gay - it grooms itself constantly but never scratches itself, has a delicate touch except when it uses its nails, and whines to be fed. And just think about how you call a dog..."Killer, come here! I said get your ass over here!" Now think about how you call a cat..."Bun-bun, come to daddy, snookums!" Jeeezus, you're fit to be framed, you're so gay.

3. If you suck on lollipops, Ring-Pops, baby pacifiers, or any such
nonsense, rest assured, you are a Gaylord. A straight man only sucks on bar-b-que ribs, crab claws, raw oysters, craw fish guts, pickled pigs feet, or breasts. Anything else and you are in training to suck El Dicko and undeniably a fag.

4. If you refuse to take a dump in a public bathroom or piss in a parking lot, you're in a deep homosexual relationship. A man's world is his bathroom, he defecates and urinates where he pleases.

5. If you drink decaf coffee with skim milk... Sorry, gay. Coffee is to be had strong, black, and full aroma. A straight man will never be heard ordering a "Decaf Cafe Latte with Skim" and he will never, ever know what artificial sweetener tastes like. If you've had NutraSweet in your mouth, you've had a man there too.

6. If you know more than six names of colors or four different types of dessert, you might as well be handing out free passes to your ass. A real man doesn't have memory space in his brain to remember all of that crap as well as all the names of all the players in the Major league, NFL, NBA, college ball, PGA, and NASCAR. If you can pick out chartreuse or you know what a "fressier" is, or you can name ANY type of textile other than denim, you are faggadocious.

7. If you drive with both hands on the wheel, forget it......you're
hungry for a meat popsicle. A man only puts both hands on the wheel to honk at a slow-ass driver or to cut the punk off. The rest of the time he needs that hand to change the radio station, eat a hamburger, hold his beer, or play with the bitch in the passenger seat.

8. If you enjoy romantic! comedies or French films, mon-frere, vous le Gay, oui? The only time it is acceptable to watch one of those is with a woman who knows how to reward her man. Watching any of the above films by yourself or with another man is likely to result in SHC (spontaneous homosexual combustion).

In reading this thread, I am amused to see how some people are taking it seriously and actually talking about food.

The other talk is really funny, though.

Oh, something we've been putting in salads {although I don't know how it would go in yours...} is cilantro. My sis in law used it from her garden while we were visiting and it really added a nice taste. Might that it was fresh? She also used frozen berries from her garden in the champagne, too.

Okay, why did I go into this thread? I am hungry now. I'm going to bed.

No dinner here tonight. Boy's not home, and I don't feel like eating.
