What's for dinner tonight?

Question

I'm hungry!

Answer 1

Pixie,
I am hungry too! I'm cooking us some baked salmon, baked potato, and tossing us a salad, and since it is Friday a nice glass of white wine with dinner. I am not big on dessert - so, I hope you don't mind that we will have to forgo that this evening. What time are you coming over? Well, just call when you leave your place.

Bon Appetit!

Home made corn dogs
Simple and easy to make, remind you of when you were a child at the Fair only you can have dessert first.

Fairy Cakes Recipe by Susan Branch book sweeets to the sweet.

Cream filling:
4 Cups Milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
4 large egg yolks
1 whole lemon....... peel in one piece

Whisk all ingredients together in a saucepan over medium -high heat. Stir constantly till thick. Remove lemon rind and set aside to cool. Note: this makes a lot more than you need to fill the cakes.

Cakes:
6 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1cup cake flour
2tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla
confectioners sugar

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Beat whole eggs and sugar in mixer till well blended. Add flour and continue beating 10 minutes. Add baking powder and vanilla, beat 5 minutes more. pour into generously greased muffin tins- fill 1/2 to 3/4 full . Bake in the middle of the oven for 10- 15 minutes till just golden but not brown. Remove from tins as soon as possible.
When slightly cooled, partially cut off tops of cakes, pull out a little plug of cake from bottom half and fill with cream. Sift over a little powdered sugar and chill cakes.

Answer 3

Shrimp or Chicken Lettuce Wraps with Creamy Caesar Dressing

2 hearts romaine lettuce
1 pound jumbo fully cooked shrimp, from the seafood counter in market
1 rotisserie chicken, available in many markets
4 heaping tablespoons reduced fat mayonnaise
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons anchovy paste, optional (But it tastes better with it in. If you think you don't like anchovies, try them in this sauce. They just taste salty and yummy!)
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, a few handfuls
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon coarse black pepper, eyeball the amount in the palm of your hand: 1 teaspoon is equal to about 1/3 of a palm full
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, pour to the count of 4


Cut bottoms off the romaine and cut the heads in half lengthwise. Wash lettuce and separate the leaves. Let it dry in the dish draining rack while you prepare the rest of the menu.
Remove the tails from the shrimp and place the shrimp in a bowl or, pack for travel, if this is a picnic meal.

To remove the chicken meat from the chicken, cut the chicken breasts off first. Cut the legs and thighs off using kitchen scissors to help you. Slice the meat up on an angle. Arrange on a plate or in a plastic container.

Place mayonnaise, garlic, lemon, anchovy paste, cheese, Worcestershire and pepper into the blender and turn it on. Stream the extra-virgin olive oil into the dressing through center of the lid. When the oil is combined, remove the thick dressing with a spatula to a bowl or a portable plastic container.

Place lettuce on a serving platter or pack in large plastic bag or container to travel.

To assemble, spread dressing onto a lettuce leaf. Fill leaf with a large shrimp or sliced cold chicken, like a lettuce taco, and eat!
