Attention What are you having for dinner?

[rareboy]

Which one? What's in it?

I will one day share the recipe. It was my Beppe's soup and it was a staple when I was growing up at my grandparents' on the farm.

I remembered her soup and we had versions of it from my mother and Aunt...but we de-constructed all the cheat ingredients that were used in order to make it completely natural...except for Maggi.

It is a veg soup made with beef bones, cubed beef and little meatballs. It really does allow for a wide range of vegetables etc. to be used...but the women in our family now only make it for Christmas Eve (really????).

We do a huge batch once or twice a year, freeze it and share it with my other Aunt because she loves it so much.

When you reheat, you also add vermicelli.

It sounds good, but a recipe from your Beppe is Dutch soup?

Smoked salmon with potato pancakes aka hash browns...

​

Potato pancakes like that aren't really hash browns, I'm afraid. McDonald's and the frozen food industry have been lying to you (and to the rest of us).

Real hash browns are shredded potatoes that have been browned on a griddle or in a skillet and then just lifted onto the plate with a spoon or spatula.

They're not -- or shouldn't be -- pre-formed into patties or pancakes like this:

Fast food chains and frozen food companies simply started calling those things "hash browns" in order to convince Americans to eat savory potato pancakes for breakfast.

To most average Americans, "pancakes" as breakfast food are by definition sweet, made with wheat flour, and to be served with syrup and/or fruit. "Potato pancakes" wouldn't compute; it would be sort of like telling people to put syrup on mashed potatoes for breakfast. And french fries don't compute as breakfast food. So when hamburger chains started serving breakfast and wanted to serve fried potatoes, they formed chopped potatoes into patties and called them "hash browns" because that's what people think of as breakfast potatoes.

Your photo of salmon and potato pancakes looks delicious, but New Yorkers, at least, would refer to the potatoes under the salmon as "latkes" (the Yiddish word for potato pancakes).

Just bring me my smoked salmon and tater tots.

 

[Araucaria]

Salad.

 

[ChristianGianni]

Beer battered fish and home made chips done in a air fryer and salad

 

[LoveMyPeppermill]

Tostadas again. Desert Pepper black bean dip, Oaxaca cheese, Trader Joe's salsa especial (medium).

Hey, they're quick, easy, and reasonably priced.

(Annie gets some extra cheese. She screams for it every time she sees me take it out of the refrigerator. Greta refrains. She is a sensible animal and prefers greens.)

 

[Vannie]

RB and Christian both tossing the salad tonight.

 

[jjonn3]

Double Quarter Pounder with cheese and a large fries at 11 at night -

I wonder why I have been gaining weight lately?

 

[Yuki Sohma]

Some sushi rolls

 

[me203]

A salad, bread with some almond butter, and blueberries. I'm not sure if the almond butter is "protein source" or "dessert" since it was chocolate hazelnut almond butter...
