What's for supper?

Sit back and talk with friends. Same rules as before. Rule #1-Relax with friends on the front or back porch.
Rule #2-No Politics, religion or anything above a G level.

Well, our farmer friend didn't show up on time with the beef so we had to reschedule our dinner reservation.
Turns out he blew a radiator hose on his pick up and was sitting out in the middle of nowhere waiting for
someone to bring him a new clamp, so we drove over and found him, got the beef, and took it home to the
freezer. Hated to leave him alone out there but he said someone was coming, so............ :roll:

Finally got to dinner about seven. Deep fried Walleye, baked potato, salad, garlic toast, relish tray,
and a Tanqueray Martini. Carol had pan seared scallops and a couple glasses of wine. :shock:

The place is waaay out in the country and since we've been going there for over 25 years, they know us
and treat us very well, however we had a new waitress and I had to spell out Tanqueray to her. She'd
never heard of it. The place was packed since Covid restrictions have been lifted, but it's just nice when
the owners and staff recognize you and all stop at the table to say hello. It's our happy place. :D

Well, we went out for our Anniversary dinner all set to have the King Crab only to find out that there
is a supplier shortage. Darn!
Oh well, Carol had two lobster tails and I had a nice Filet with a demi glaze sauce.
It was all good. :D

Just got back from my weekly Fred Myer shopping. They had King Crab legs, $35 a lb. and that includes the weight of the shell. :o. I got some prawns and sushi.

They had some Copper River Coho last week for a similar price, counter guy said it wasn't moving too fast. I had some Copper River Coho years ago and it was very good but not really that much better than any good wild caught salmon.

steaks are expensive but you can have a good bit of beef for what a little seafood will cost

Dave check out Great Alaska Seafood.com. Ive ordered from them many times because we cant get good fish here in Colorado. Ive always been very happy with what I have got and free shipping if you order 8lbs and as little as for 4lbs on other items

When I lived in Virginia it was hard to get good beef. I like corn fed beef and all they had was grass fed, but
good seafood was everywhere.

Now it's the reverse. I have a freezer full of good local corn fed beef, but good seafood is hard to find.
Location, location, location.

The real problem here is that most locals aren't familiar with good seafood and if a restaurant opens
serving just that, they go broke. Here you have to serve beef, pork, chicken, and some seafood to make it.

Love a good steak, but, COULD live on seafood alone. Shellfish, for the most part, however, a good thick piece of Chilean Sea Bass makes my mouth water. Very pricy though!

I'm with you on the sea bass, however, if I can get Halibut that's what I want. :D

tonight it's pork chops. First grilled, then in a baking dish with cream of mushroom soup and a little water
over them. Then bake for a couple of hours. Really tender, flavorful, and good gravy as well. :D

Couldn't figure out what to cook tonight so we went out to the local Mexican joint in town. Had one of their special burritos with shrimp, chicken and steak. They top it with a deep fried onion. :D

Usually, until you order and adult beverage or two. My wife's favorite is a Miami Vice. I settled for a beer.

Shame on them. Make a cheap meal so you'll drink more! Pretty smart!

Saturday evening and I'm cooking. We're having some breaded fried pork chops, stuffing with mushroom brown gravy and peas. Peas are my all time favorite veggie side. When I was a kid that was the only vegetable I would eat. Now I like them all, but peas are still at the top of the list.
