In Germany, many restaurants have a menu item called a "Grillteller." It's a platter of grilled mixed meats. That's what we do and it's wonderful.
As for the cooking show, yes, I've seen it.
And I've lived it. Sometimes some really wonderful meals come out of "what's in the fridge?" Funny, those nights it seems there's nothing for dinner also seem to be the nights we end up with huge amounts of food on the table--precisely b/c I think "okay, a little of this . . . some of that . . . oh, how about . . ."
Pantry dinner!!!!!
Payday isn't until Thursday, if it isn't in the freezer, fridge or pantry it's not going get eaten in this house til then - And we're going fishing Thursday, so hopefully I'll have dinner in the cooler :)
