It looks delicious.

I'm going to have to try and make it. I miss being able to get the most amazing Greek food at any hour of the day.

I had Greek chicken the other night that was a "special" at a local place. It came with spanakopita. It was the worse thing I've eaten in a while. It was cold and nit made with phyllo but some bread type dough.

This is the recipe I used. I tweaked it a bit to my taste(chopped vs shreadded carrots, not as much bullion) but this was the basis.

Sounds like you already have a recipe, but if it doesn't work out, this one is legit:

Enchilada sauce.

I make a big batch and freeze some, because it is a bit of a hassle. The end product is definitely worth it, though.

My great-grandmother would approve of this.
This was a Polish woman who would take her boiled pierogi and fry them in butter and bacon grease, then top with bacon.
This was a woman who would put homemade horseradish sauce on kielbasa sandwich with hot sauerkraut on it

A great woman, indeed. Yum.

Hey thanks! Certainly will add this to the list of contenders. I really cant believe I lost my other one... It makes me sick. I made it 4 or 5 times but cant remember it. Plus, I had made modifications that made it perfect... But how often to you need to make enchilada sauce? evidently not enough for me not to lose it.

Thanks! I have this one saved to try next time. What makes me look twice is when an enchilada recipe actually uses corn torts. I can't believe any even recommend flour, the next day they are a soggy, gooey mess.

I am still going through the process of finding a good one. So far, I've tossed two of the first ones, they just didn't taste good.

I think I'll try the recipe that was linked! Thanks for posting this!

Me and missus went tonight to celebrate my first week of teaching for a aussie steak (she assured me it was not tenderised to death like most beef in Chinese 'western' resturants are). It wasn't - but they ought to take 'well done'off the menu. The steak came back still bloody inside..and the waitress had warned me that well done would result in a tough steak. I asked for it to be cooked a little longer - it came back STILL pink inside...

Weird. It was 158 rmb for the steak (Aussie angus rib fillet btw)...which came with a 'free' set of sides - soup, breads, salad (fruit and vegetable), spiral pasta (!!? which I shovelled off onto a spare plate), fruit juices of our choice, desserts, coffee... and everything was re-orderable.
Huge serrated knife (think Crocodile Dundees answer to the NYC thug's pocket knife - or something Daniel Boone would kill a bear with) and an equally oversized fork. Pleased to get an actual soup spoon not a dessert spoon for the soup.

Wife ordered a pork steak with veges.I thought it tasted as if it had been 'tenderized' slightly; I dont know why: Chinese pork is really good as it is.

I didnt want the set soup so opted for a crusty topped corn and chicken, and I wanted a plate of fries as well to go with the steak.
The coffee was wonderful..and the desserts...we ordered several twice - so yummy! Creme brulee, a coddled egg thing, cheesecake, choc cake, ..we were stuffed.
260 rmb all up...$50 - 60?
Could have had a nice bottle of Australian red or white wine with it too..but the set menu items kind of steered us away... shame for them..they missed out on a sale there.. (about $30 worth I guess).

State dinner menu

http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/trudeau-obama-state-dinner-1.3481896

When the guests lucky enough to get a coveted invitation to the black-tie affair arrive, they will be served an array of canapés, including one made from Hudson River duck. Comerford said it was inspired by Canada's famous dish of french fries, gravy and cheese curds. "It's a mini-version of a poutine," she told reporters who got a preview of the menu at the White House Wednesday. "We're very excited."

Dinner's first course is a baked Alaskan halibut casserole, with angel hair asparagus, chanterelles and spring onion with herbed butter made with herbs from Michelle Obama's garden.

Next, guests will be served salad with apricots roasted in ginger, cardamom and honey that is made at the White House, garnished with cheese from Virginia. The main course is tender lamb from Colorado served with Yukon Gold potatoes and spring vegetables. For some Canadian flavour, the dish is drizzled with Yukon Jack Canadian whisky.

The plates, 22 of them, are meant to reflect the passing of winter and the coming of spring. Morrison said she was inspired by the Rocky Mountains and named her design "A View from the Mountain Top." On each plate is a photo of the mountainous landscape and a selection of bite-size treats — cranberry squares, golden raisin tarts, chocolate coconut slices, white chocolate snowballs and fleur de sel caramels.

Morrison said the chocolate coconut dessert was inspired by Nanaimo bars, and Canadians' love of butter tarts inspired the golden raisin tarts. The plates also include miniature bears and deer handmade out of chocolate.

If that weren't enough, dessert also includes individual servings of a dish that has cotton candy on top, and underneath a warm maple pecan cake and butterscotch ice cream. The maple syrup is from New England, not north of the border, and the pecans are from Texas.

Wine will be served at dinner, but the White House brews its own beer, if Trudeau would like a taste.

"If he asks for it, we're more than happy to serve the beer," chef Comerford said.

Jeez. That makes my grilled country-style spareribs with baked potato and applesauce seem paltry. But, it tasted damn good and I know that I had a better view out the window and the company was less pretentious.

gotta be worth a heart attack or two there!

 

[blushrush]

Reading through this thread, I'm an very unhappy that it is only 8:35am here and I have to wait until tonight to tea

Anyhoo, I'm cooking sirloin steak tonight. Not had much experience with it, I normally have rump. I like my steak rare. It's a fairly big piece, about an inch thick. How long approximately would you say cook it for? (I use a searing hot pan)

 

[Hard_Rom]

3 min per side. Two if you like it blue inside. Bring to room temperature first. 4 for medium. 5 for boot leather.

 

[butters]

cooking potato gnocchi tonight with tomatoes, red pepper/onion, basil, adding chunks of cooked sausage into the mix, popping it into an ovenproof dish and topping with cheese... finishing it off under the grill till bubbly and golden.

oh, and garlic inside. lots of garlic.

I made mushroom stroganoff for a friend's birthday dinner. She requested no meat so I used portobellos and caramelized them with garlic and onions. I made a gravy and then added Greek yogurt. It came out really good. I'm linking the image, because it's obnoxiously large.
