Dinner Tuesday 11-13-12

[Ben Hibben]

So for dinner tomorrow I'm contemplating perhaps some French Toast or maybe some fried rice.  Or any other reasonable suggestion.  I think Tim once suggested a goulash. That looks promising as well.  Do you have a favorite recipe Tim?

Frankly I can't decide what I want to eat *tonight* so what I feel like making tomorrow is a mystery.  Feel free to vote for your favorite or submit an idea of your own.

As a reminder this is the last dinner I'm funding "out of pocket" and future dinners will depend on your kind donations.  If I get only $15 the next meal will be sandwiches.  If I get $50 it'll be something nice and hot and tasty.  If I get nothing, well, you know the drill.  I'll carry a balance forward and start doing public tracking of funds and such, too.

Unfortunately, I won;'t be there tomorrow night :/ 

I think this post is a little confusing and insinuates you'd rather have cash than people bring in dishes. 

[Tim Miller]

no recipe that actually know. But french toast sounds good, I can bring some bacon or sausage

[Ben Hibben]

Good point Divinity; still looking more for participation than cash - but also switching the Main Course from "me paying for it" to "crowd-funded" -- so whomever makes it (doesn't have to be me) can use the funds to offset the outlay.  It can be expensive to feed so many people and so it's harder to get someone to chip in so much food.  Hopefully this will help people feel more comfortable as they won't have to pay so much (or perhaps anything) out of pocket.

My wife makes guloush (sp?) all the time.  I'm sure there are tons of recipies but hers is pretty simple:

You basically mix up a lb of cooked hamburger, a lb of cooked penne pasta, a can of chopped tomatoes and a can of tomato sauce.  I add onion salt, salt and pepper when I make it.  Let it sit together for about 20 min and its ready to eat.

Hmm, sounds like something I already make, I add corn to it for color and flavor.

Tim's offered to bring some bacon or sausage so I'm gonna go with French Toast for tonight.  Pretty cheap and pretty easy.  If anyone else wants to bring something in to add to this please feel free to say so.

Naturally non-breakfast foods are more than welcome as well; food is good!

Does anyone know if we have any syrup or powdered sugar at the space?  I recall seeing some syrup previously but I don't recall seeing any powdered sugar.

While I *normally* use farm-fresh free-range organic eggs from my parent's chickens I'm currently out of those and will have to pick some eggs up at the store later tonight; I know some people take the ethics into account so I wanted to post a heads up.  I'll also be using cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch of vanilla in the batter -- so if you're allergic to any of these let me know and I'll make you a plain one before I mix the stuff you're allergic to in.  If no one chimes in on this I'll assume no one has any problems and just mix it up.

I like French Toast ^_^ I don't even know what goulash is, but the name doesn't sound very appealing :-P

[Ben Hibben]

It's a type of pasta dish that is very versatile (I googled for it myself) and can be quite tasty.

We're on like Donkey Kong for the French Toast.  :-D

[Jeff Johnson]

It sounds extremely bland, but with salt and pepper its actually pretty good.

I keep confusing Goulash with Stroganoff…. So I looked em up.

 

Goulash is normally based on tomatoes for the sauce

Stroganoffs are based more on roué based gravy for the sauce

 

Both begin with the same basics… Meat (ground beef), Aromatics (Onion/Garlic/Peppers), and Pasta (Penne, elbow, Egg noodles)

Also, it's going to be my first "lvl1 diner" tonight, what should I bring ? Food/snacks ? drinks (beer/soda/wine) ?

I will be bringing ~20 servings of split pea soup and Charles will be making some bread to go with it.

That's a very interesting looking recipe Marc!  I will probably use that one soon...

Robert reminds me of something I'd forgotten because I'd failed to write anything down and my memory sucks (this is why I'm getting the food thing more organized in its own group!).  He's bringing soup!

So Tim; should we re-jigger our plans to better suit his soup or press on with French Toast?  I can do it later instead and bring in something to support the soup...  Maybe some sourdough bread.

Blenster

[Robert D]

Charles is bringing some bread too.  I think sort of a french baguette.  Sourdough would be awesome too.  I will bring the soup in 2 pots, both of which will arrive vegetarian friendly (It's a curried split pea soup with a few lentils also), but if someone wants to bring some precooked ham chunks to add to one of the pots they are welcome to.  I think there will be plenty of soup, but I will not be offended either way if you still want to make french toast also.  I can eat breakfast any time of day and in combination with any other meal :) 

[Ben Hibben]

It sounds like you have things well in hand!  I might bring a pasta side dish this time...  Unless the French Toast thing gets a couple of votes and I'll do it anyway.  Otherwise it may just be put off until next week.

Really I need to focus on getting the food stuff organized and then all this will be easier.

Blenster

[Tim Miller]

I am not set in stone, I won't be stopping by the store until 7 anyways

[Sam Dake]

Any love for goat cheese? I thought about bringing some a couple of weeks ago, and I've been craving it since. I can bring that and some sliced baguette, or some kind of cracker maybe. Depends on what value market has when I'm finished working today.

That sounds awesome; save me some if it proves as popular as I'd guess it would be and I can't grab some myself before the hub-bub of cooking dies down...

Blenster

[Sam Dake]

Heh, will do.

[Ben Hibben]

I *may* be running a bit behind tonight; something just came up...  Happily my being there isn't as critical to dinner tonight.  :-)

Blenster

[Todd Welsh]

I'll bring some ham.

What if you had a donation barrel of food items like they have at the grocery store?  It might make for some interesting dishes as the "food hackers" figure out how to make a meal out of the various items.  I have several cans of Saeur Kraut juice I need to get rid of (j/k).

Just grab a random can of corn, or package of pasta and throw it in.  Someone would need to set up the barrel thing though.  Unfortunately I'm out of town for much of remaining '12.

[Ben Hibben]

Good idea!

Blenster

[Robert D]

I don't have any bowls to bring, are there plenty of bowls there?  If not, if someone can bring some I'm happy to wash them up.

[Brad Luyster]

Oh, we got bowls.
