Comfort food today.
Chicken and noodles over whipped potatoes, radish/tomato/cabbage/onion in sesame ginger dressing (that is, if I have all those vegetables on hand, otherwise, I'll wing it)

We're off to a potluck, aka "The Nayarit Sunday Supper Club". Made this antipasto, and some foccacia to go with it. Enjoy your Sunday, everyone!

I think eggplant parm with fettucini and not sure if I have another veggie. Maybe some baby spinach if it hasn't gone funny.

Just finished making chicken veggie soup. I was going to add noodles later but those dumplings sound so good! Might thicken the soup up add some peas and corn and do a fake chicken and dumplings! :) :) :)

Lucky potluckers! That platter of goodies and the foccacia are just beautiful.

Wow, Sass, beautiful picture and food. I think you have officially graduated from the High Cheese's School of Plating :thewave: . His pic's are beautiful, and I find myself looking up his old threads just to see how he puts things together on the plate.

Thanks Cooksie. Yup, I've been studying all of your plates and looking at particular recipes online that include something I might be preparing and try to make it look nice enough to share on here.
Looking back now, I feel goofy about some of the zingers/horrid ones I've posted.
You're very kind.

Some snapshots from todays grillout. I was sort of running around dealing with dogs and people so the pics are not great or complete but here is a sampling.

GrillinFools Mayo Chicken... mine did not come as pretty as his but hey I never do get there... great method though moistest boneless skinless breasts ever

Venison burgers thanks to another neighbors contribution

I have to say that gas grill I got does suck but it was convenient. I think if I replace the grates and the vaporizers with better ones it will improve. Not sure if I care to make the investment in a free grill though.

Thanks Peeps, Sass and Cooksie for the nice compliments. So many nice meals today! Thanks to everyone who took the time to share pictures with us today...Peepes, I love that eggplant, and Sass's noodles look home-made! Are they? I would have eaten at least two plates of that. Blues and Panch - thanks for the great pics.

Our potluck was scrumptious - gumbo, sausages, wonderful salads, even some sushi! The focaccia disappeared fast. Peeps - I posted the recipe on the bread forum: http://netcookingtalk.com/forums/showthread.php?p=197459#post197459

The antipasto was just some veggies in a vinaigrette (1 cop EVOO, 1 cup red wine vinegar, juice of one lemon, salt, pepper, 4 or 5 cloves of minced garlic, a little bit of sugar). I blanched the cauliflower, carrots and asparagus first. I think they have better color and texture than raw. Had three kinds of salami, ham (couldn't find prosciutto in our supermarket this weekend), provolone and asiago cheeses. It's always a crowd pleaser and easy to make.

Thanks again for all your encouragement.

Oops, Peeps - I think I may have also added some Italian seasoning to the vinaigrette. It's good with Parm cheese, too.

very nice panch, blues, peeps, and especially karen.

don't take this the worng way, but man, am i craving your antipasto or what...

we had a fun day in vermont at the pico mountain adventure center (where i donated about 6 inches of skin from each arm and my left leg to the alpine slide), and then stopped off at lake george on the way home to go to the arcades and eat.

we ended up getting a quick italian dinner since i had to be back in at work early. we went to gino and tony's for minestrone, chicken parm, and manicotti.

it was pretty good for a tourist trap area.

Great food everyone! I see Pancho is breaking in that grill, lol.

Leftover pork shoulder turned into stuffed poblanos with spicy pork and cheddar...

Then the Ragu from the pork bone was piled on top of a mound of homemade linguine...

I found a reason to finally open this bottle...

Yes Karen the noodles were homemade (from the Amish)the chicken is leftover rotisserie that I'd had in the freezer, base is 1/2 small can chicken broth,1/2 can cream of chicken soup, shredded carrot, a little onion and poultry seasoning.


Wow Cheese! :)

Oh Cheese - I love your poblanos...and the ragu! Breathtaking...all of this wonderful homemade pasta is inspiring. My mother used to make noodles. She would mix the dough, knead it, roll it out with a rolling pin (the hard part) and then cut the strips and hang them all over the dining room chairs to dry a bit before cooking them. They were SO good that I was spoiled, and was so disappointed the first time I used dried egg noodles from a package. Can't buy fresh pasta here - most of the carbs are supplied by corn products. I don't have a pasta machine, either. Maybe I'll get brave (or hungry) and make some noodles the old fashioned way soon.

BT, sounds like you had a great day. As hard as you work, I really salute you for using your scant time off to spend time with your family.
