The (Gm's Good Eats) Food Thread !!!

So today i'm being really healthy, making home made vegetable soup! I love it, but the only problem is the kids won't eat it! lol!

 

Veggie soup sounds good!!

/me likes split pea soup and navy bean soup too!!! (both of which have some veggies in them)

....gm

edit: cause my fingers don't listen to my brain!!! lol

 

Veggie soup...yes. No peas though. I do not like peas.

 

I like peas, but not in my homemade soup.

Onion, garlic, carrots, turnip, broccoli, potato, one vegetable stock cube, all veg pureed and then simmered for an hour. It was lovely!

 

Sounds good.

I kept last night simple. (one handed cooking gets troublesome )

Riblets, basted with barbecue sauce.

Instant mashed potatoes, and corn with plenty of butter and pepper.

A couple Malibu Bay Breezes for dessert.
Here's the recipe for the drink, for those interested.

Malibu Bay Breeze

2 ounces of Malibu Rum

2 ounces of Cranberry Juice

2 ounces of Pineapple Juice.

Pour rum over ice in a highball glass; mix cranberry juice and pineapple juice and pour over rum and ice. Stir. Top with a cherry. Enjoy.

 

Thanks for the drinks recipe. My favourite fruit juices are cranberry and pineapple, but i never thought of mixing them. I'll be giving that one a go as well as iluvendo and gm's cocktail receipes. Looks like i'm going to have to have a party one of these days! LOL!

 

I had a nice lunch from the refinery cafeteria. A nice 10oz pork rib, lightly barbequed, cooked just right, falling off the bone, white rice, corn (from the can...well, they do serve over 100 people), wheat roll, mixed greens salad with italian dressing, and a 32oz cup of sweet iced tea with lemon. This was today's special. Not bad for $6.

 

rtm, I see your bbq pork rib lunch and raise you dinner


Grilled beef satay (with a peanut butter sauce)
crispy egg rolls
mixed green salad and ranch dressing
Thai iced tea
Mango sherbet

 

You sure eat a lot of Asian/Oriental cuisine!!! You go to culinary school or something?? btw I made some shrimp with Oyster sauce tonite.... it wasn't to bad for a white boy trying to cook a "foreign" meal...

Soooooo... what's the recipe for that peanut butter sauce??

....gm

 

receipe for peanut butter dipping sauce

For the Peanut Dipping Sauce:
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons ginger, grated
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 tablespoon sesame oil
3/4 cup peanut oil
1/2 cup rice wine vinegar


Mix all well in a food processor or small blender or electric hand blending stick

BTW why I eat a lot of Asian cuisine, cheaper than going to American sit down eg Chilis or Outback steakhouse (pizza take out I do often - my fav is Costco combo-, so not included as you guys already have that area covered)

 

iluvendo,

Thank you sir.

...gm

 

Oh yeah, those are getting me hungry. Had some leftover brisket, on white bread, with honey bbq sauce and a glass of big red for dinner last night. Don't know what the lunch special will be at work just yet.

 

Oh my...very nice!
