It's Friday 4/17/2009...What's Everyone Eating This Weekend?

Bill_Tex_Landreth · April 17, 2009, 3:02pm

Tonight: Something light and some Motrin

Tomorrow: Flannery Rib Caps, Porterhouse and Hanger Steaks for Dan Kosta while he is in town. Don’t really know how I got myself into that one.

Sunday: Work In Progress

This afternoon: lunch date with my husband. We’re thinking Chinese. After a big lunch, we’ll probably just nibble for dinner-- wine and cheese.

Tomorrow + Sunday: it’s supposed to be sunny and in the high 60s, low 70s all weekend. Total paradise! I don’t care what we eat, so long as it’s from the grill and washed down by '08 rosé. This will be a challenge since I have not seen any '08 rosé around yet.

Lunch at Pixar Studios

Tonight: French bistro meal at Chapeau in SF.

Tomorrow: hopefully dim sum in the AM, not sure about the evening.

Just received my wine club shipment from J.K. Carierre which included the 2008 Glass Rose.

Bob_Wood · April 17, 2009, 5:05pm

Screw the '08, there’s still some '07 Belle Pente Cuvee Contraire hanging around. Perfect.

Friday Lunch - a light lunch as I had to go back to the office, at a Spanish restaurant with my wife: Gambas al Ajillo, Deep Fried Bacalao Bocaditos, Sopa de Mariscos with a couple of glasses of rosado.

Friday Dinner - Arugula Salad, Homemade pizzas and various beers at a friend’s house.

Saturday and Sunday - No idea yet, but I think I’ll lay low for these days as I’ve had wine dinners Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Don’t want to push my luck.

Since it’s been steadily snowing since 3am, we’ll stay home tonight and have U/10 scallops on pasta.

The rest of the weekend is TBD.

Jorge_Henriquez · April 17, 2009, 7:13pm

Tonight: Probably burgers and the remainder of an 06 Dolcetto.

Tomorrow: cooking brunch for friends. Some Dominican specialties will be on the menu (Mangú, Boiled Yucca with Onions, Queso Frito) along with the obligatory bacon and scrambled eggs. Prossecco will flow…copiously I hope.

Sunday: Undecided

Yoni_O_v_a_d_i_a · April 17, 2009, 8:45pm

Tonight: Don’t know
Tomorrow: don’t know
Sunday: Don’t know.

Yoni, thanks for sharing your meal plans. A great read!

Not sure what’s on the menu as it all depends on what time we get home.
Possibilities include homemade pizza, fajitas, meat loaf or burritos.
I do know Carrie won’t let me cook it.

M_M_c_C_a_l_l · April 18, 2009, 12:54am

This sounds like another one of those “frosted flakes” nights at the Bowman house.

C_Bowman · April 18, 2009, 12:55am

Me too !

got that right

Who you callin’ a frosted flake ?

M_M_c_C_a_l_l · April 18, 2009, 1:00am

This is us on the typical Friday. I’m always amazed at how much planning some of you put into your weekend meals. Even when we make something nice, we usually decide the same day. Then again, we’re usually just cooking for ourselves and the kids. When we entertain, we plan better. And speaking of which, we’re having Steve’s parents over for brunch on Sunday. We’ll make some scones, bacon, some sort of frittata… lots of fruit. I wish local strawberries were in season already!

Randy_Bowman · April 18, 2009, 1:11am

HA! I just ordered this and I’ll soon be able to post food notes.

Dick_Krueger · April 18, 2009, 4:39pm

Tonight we’ll have Spanish-style lamb stew, some sort of Spanish appetizers, with a few spanish wines. Jeff Pfohl will be coming over for dinner after wine tasting this afternoon

Joe_Dulworth · April 19, 2009, 12:01am

Last night was some butterfly boneless pork chops with a mushroom risotto. Definitely 1 inch plus thick chops.

Today for lunch was Campania pizza.

Tonight for dinner we’re marinating some very thick boneless lamb legs from Central Market. 2000 Bordeaux is already in the decanter.

Brad_S_w_a_l_l_o_w · April 19, 2009, 2:03am

Today, a mixed bag. I made ratatouille because my daughter likes it after seeing the movie a year ago. I also made some fresh halibut on the BGE and a spinach salad with some watercress, pears and other stuff. Served the fish with a Leitz Dragonstone 2007, but that was kind of a palate cleanser since I was continuing my research on a 2007 Copain Baker Ranch Syrah opened the last night. See the note on Wine talk.

For me the months from November through March are tough in a way because I can’t get never frozen halibut during that time. I have been eating halibut like crazy for the last two weeks.
