What's for Dinner, Sat., April 7, 2018

[NJCher]

Going to a small dinner party tonight. Out hostess is an excellent cook and she told us she is making grilled lamb chops (the kind with the little T in them), polenta, and broccoli rabe with garlic. Appetizer plate is antipasto. Several wines she told me about but can't recall them at the moment.

Also, she makes homemade bread. She does this with a no-knead method which I am going to try myself. It takes 18-hours but you don't even have to mix it much; just wait the 18-hours for it to rise. We'll be having some of this tonight, too. I think the guy who innovated this method is named Lahey, or something close to that.

She baked a chocolate torte for dessert.

1. I'm fixing a simple dish my mom served us when growing up. Comfort food:

Brown rib pork chops, then simmer with sliced mushrooms, onions, garlic and little splash of red wine, cover with cream of mushroom soup, simmer until it's falling off the bones and put over mashed potatoes. Green salad and garlic bread. Mint chocolate chip ice cream for dessert.
Easy peasy.

3. Easter meal leftovers

I froze the leftover leg of lamb we had last Saturday and made shepherd's pie with lots of vegetables today. It's still comfort food weather here.

When I was a child, I told my mom after a lamb chop dinner, that I would love it if she got some more of those "delicious kid-size T-bones"

5. Coconut shrimp

With garlic couscous. Keeping with the theme I used coconut oil instead of olive. Pretty sure tasteless but whatever.
Toasted baguette slices.
Beers will replace dessert tonight!
