It's a slow day with not much goin on since the Congress is on vacation and the President is in Texas. So what's cooking out there?

Post your culinary delights for all to enjoy. What for dinner tonight?

[Militiaman7]

Mrs. M/M7 just pulled this bread out of the oven. Along with it comes Jalapeno Roast Pork, black beans with rice and a Spicy hot Nicaraguan Cabbage Salad. Oh!, I forgot fine French wine from my cousins in Bordeaux.

Gumbo-Jambolaya; made with red snapper, clams, crab, shrimp, lobster & andouille sausage... onion, celery, bell pepper, tomatoes, corn, okra, and jasmine rice, all seasoned up spicy-like with a bit of wine, hot pepper sauce, and loads of garlic.... I guar- ran- tee.

[billbears]

Fried pork chops, fried salt and peppered catfish, some hush puppies, and a cold glass of Sundrop. Maybe some homemade banana pudding for dessert and pork rinds for a movie watching snack later

[Militiaman7]

My mouth is watering........MMMMMM, MMMMMM

Thanks a lot you two. Now I'm hungry!

Dinner for me is reheated beans 'n' biscuits. Since I can't cook worth a darn (once screwed up boiling water), my wife does most of the cooking.

[Militiaman7]

Now I regret putting this tread up.

I'm thinking just a simple firing of the grill--nothing like an end of summer bar b que: chicken and grilled veggies, maybe some corn if I can find a few good ears left.

Militiaman7--enjoy that wine for me, too--as all manner of 'adult beverages' are verboten for me for the next eight months...

If you guys could email me privately with the gumbo and nicaraguan salads, I'd be much obliged!

Fresh American Bison ribeye steaks grilled rare (of course) and topped with melted Maytag Blue Cheese.

A fresh salad, also topped with Maytag Blue.

Grilled Illinois sweetcorn and asparagus on the side.

We are going to accompany that with a nice bottle of Sangiovese.

Yummy....

tread = thread

I've never had lobster in jambolaya before. How do you manage to do that?

Congratulations!

Chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes, white gravey, fried squash and green beans and for desert fresh strawberries lightly sweetened in heavy cream with a few snips of fresh tarragon.

[billbears]

LOL. And what's THAT supposed to mean?!? Is my Southern style of good cooking not good enough? Or too good?

[BillaryBeGone]

Spicy hot Nicaraguan Cabbage Salad

Ooooooo! That sounds tippy-top! Could you post the recipe?

[Grammy]

Actually, I am up to my elbows in sugar. I am working on 4 wedding cakes for Labor day weekend. I make the flowers out of gumpaste first, let them dry, and put it all together at the last minute.

Therefore, dinner tonight is leftovers 8-)

[piasa]

Being an impoverished artist, I make up for it with impeccable timing ... at the end of every week the fish market has to replace its live lobsters with fresh ones and that means they sacrifice the week's lobsters, so I pick out the lively ones, cook them up, and stash the meat in the freezer.

[piasa]

Of course, since the lobsters are already cooked leftovers from a 'clambake' I add them at the last minute. (I make fish stock from the shells and other things after I've gone fishing an save that up for future use too.) Now, Florida lobsters are seasonal, so when they're available, I can use them, but lobster of course isn't mandatory. Crawdads are good too. The fish varies with the season down this way; I just happen to have a snapper but any fish that will hold together does the trick. I used cod and buffalo back in St. Louis and a friend of mine out west uses salmon.
