What's for Dinner, Sun., Apr. 14, 2019

[NJCher]

Appetizer: sliced honeycrisp apples with gorgonzola cheddar spread and walnuts.

Vegetable soup with meatballs is the main dish.

Salad is yet to be determined but I know it's being made with red cabbage. No recipe; comes from the RG's imagination.




p.s. did you know the reason honeycrisp apples taste so crisp is that the cells of the apple fracture cleanly when bitten into? It's a unique characteristic of this cultivar. No other apple has that trait.

1. German tonight

My favorite supermarket had homemade Bauernwursts (pork and beef with spices). I had to buy them! I'll pan-fry them with onions and serve with mashed potatoes and brown gravy, sauerkraut and steamed green beans with sliced almonds. I also picked up a super-coarse spicy mustard. This feast will be washed down with copious quantities of Dinkelacker beer.

Dutch chocolates for dessert.

Yum!

7. that sounds so good

We used to have a German restaurant around here but it closed. The RG and I would go there about once a month or so and have schnitzel and other German delights. Can't say as I've ever had a Dinkelacker, but tomorrow I'm going to check the wine store. This place has everything and I would be surprised if it didn't have Dinkelacker.

2. I didn't know that about those apples.

Tonight I'm baking a sweet potato/broccoli mix and am trying 'Beyond Burger' for the first time. I'll top that with swiss cheese & onions.
It feels chilly today, so hot sweet tea and a milano cookie pack.

3. Tartiflette and asparagus

This is pretty low effort. I used 6 large Yukon gold potatoes, 2 onions and 300 grams of thick bacon. Pan deglazed with white wine. I topped it with long slices of Costco brie. Bake for 45 min at 375.

4. steak on the grill

I made a batch of brownies, but there's some watermelon in the fridge and I'm thinking I might want to have my first watermelon of the year.

6. Leftovers from last night

There were two lamb chops and copious amounts of couscous salad. I am going out later so will take a nap and zap the leftovers when I get up. 😎
Hafta work tomorrow but it is a four day week! Yeehaw!
