I had a bowl of muesli.
Looks good. I had oysters, sashimi, seaweed salad, ****ake dumplings, and korean-spiced lamb chops washed down with sake and beer. It did not suck.
Edit: HAHAHA, I can't even use the name of a mushroom without getting censored!

After a night ride last night, I had the most kicking BLT washed down with a couple pints of tasty english ale. Bacon and beer anyone?
Stirfry - pork and mushrooms plus zukes, yellow squash, green beans, and carrots from the garden. And potstickers.
This pasta recipe. It kicked a$$:

Whoa! $25/lb... impressive. Most impressive...
Lamb chops with garlic, mint, and lemon over a curried couscous with carrots, green onion, golden raisins, and more mint. A mojito while cooking (mint in the house) and a tasty syrah from alexander valley vineyards with dinner Yum.
that looks delicious
Technically it was TONIGHT'S dinner, but we started with bruschetta (with fresh baked bread) and caprese both made from fresh tomatoes from the garden. Then "authentic" bolognese for the main...
Good god I'm stuffed.
Good god I'm stuffed.
I had nachos again. In front of the telly watching Iron Man.
Me and the wife went over to my parents for dinner. Gotta love your own Mom's cooking. She did a full on roast dinner - pork, apple sauce, roast pots, parsnips, brocolli and gravy.
Oh, and triple choc gateaux for dessert. Washed down with a nice Pinotage.
spot on.

How very Septic of you...
Can you get good ingredients for nachos over there? Or do you have to make everything yourself?
Make it myself?
Nah - bought some minced beef, added a jar of spicy salsa, some garden tomatoes and some onions. Nacho chips, creme fraiche and DaveW insisted on chopping some coriander on top. How gourmet!

It's not 
it's Bacon (and Bacon)!
I had the corner bakery's BBLT (that's Bacon, Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato) and Tomato Basil Soup for dinner last night.
Here is some poor schmuck's photo of same, but mine was way better looking than this.
Probably better tasting too.
Also, I had a FULL sandwich on wheat bread, not the puny half sandwich shown above.
6 thick strips of Applewood Smoked Bacon. Awesome. Tomato soup was fantastic too.
I had vivid bacony dreams about this sandwich last night. I can't wait to get another. If you have not had one of these yet, you should try one today.

tonight's dinner:
Wild, fresh caught striped sea bass (striper) caught 2 hrs earlier by myself.
Made a foil pouch then added: olive oil, sliced red onion, parsley from the garden, red pepper flakes/S/P, whole garlic cloves, halved roma tomatoes and finally drizzled everything with lime juice.
Sealed it up, tossed on the grill over medium heat, drank a margarita and declared it ready.

Mmmmm... we had risotto with roasted red peppers, sweet Italian sausage, and wild mushrooms. With fresh steamed broccoli.
Oh... and a bottle of vino.

i am eating cafeteria food all day every day. 
I had braised lamb shanks with garden veg.
I am desperately clinging to the end of summer: Angel hair with lots of fresh tomaters, corn, basil, garlic, and parm. I marinated chopped tomatoes in S&P and olive oil for about an hour prior. The 'maters released some juice into the oil and made a great sauce. All I had to do was warm the veggies through and toss with the pasta, cheese, and basil. Yum.
Nice! You inspired me. I used up my ripe San Marzanos and made a vodka cream sauce with sweet Italian sausage and the fresh tomatoes. And LOTS of fresh basil. That and more caprese with the cherry tomatoes.
Last night was farfalle with sauteed chicken, mushrooms, sundried tomato cream sauce. Caprese and bruschetta again...
Oh... and a couple bottles of vino.

Sour cream-chicken-chipotle enchiladas with spicy green enchilada sauce.
Kick-ass fish and chips and a few pints of Sierra on tap (burp).
Ridiculously good BLT, with Hobbs bacon, homemade basil aioli, orange heirloom tomaters, red leaf, and Acme italian bread. After toasting the bread I wiped the bacony pan with it, rubbed a tomato on it, then spread with the aioli before putting it together. Gawdamm sometimes the simple things are so friggin good.
Chili dogs. Sahlens smokehouse dogs, ElRio chili with beans, cheddar cheese, and Martusciellos HD rolls. Fresh onions too.
your kids are lucky. it really is amazing how much i took good food on a daily basis for granted.Sour cream-chicken-chipotle enchiladas with spicy green enchilada sauce.
College is rough, ain't it?
One of the best things about moving into an apt is being able to cook decent meals.
Grilled swordfish marinated in soy, tequila, oo, dijon and sesame seeds.
Side was memphiswaukee-style haricot verts (seared in iron skillet with whole garlic cloves, red pepper flakes, a splash of 'dumpling sauce' from the chinese grocery and toasted sesame seeds.

Leonard's shrimp. Bacon, onions, and garlic satueed... then deglaze with a little white wine... add tomatoes... cook for awhile. Add heavy whipping cream and cook for awhile. Add asparagus and cook for about 3 minutes - add a bunch of shrimp and cook for a couple more minutes. Toss with penne & top with lots of reggiano.
Oh - and a bunch of basil right at the end if you have any. I didn't.

Chicken stir fry with broccoli, garlic, pickled ginger and honey (and of course the basil and pepper flakes that go in pretty much everything I cook). Came out pretty well for a "hey, what's in my fridge today" type dinner.
