Hey, Ally do you care to share how you made the short ribs à la sour cream ie a recipe?

I'm soooo hungry and am loathe to leave my office to go home for lunch uch.

Tonight we'll probably go to our regular local place...the one with the 99 cent per lb prime rib on Thursday nights.

Progresso southwestern style chicken. It got the job done because I was freezing.

[Trish]

I was going to have Progresso Light Chicken & Dumpling, but I forgot to eat.

Now I have to leave work to bring Thing 1 to the doctor. Which means I'll be passing through McDonalds after so I can scarf something down. Great.

Here it is - I was going to post it when I got home tonight, but my boss is in a meeting so there's no time like the present:

http://southernfood.about.com/od/beefribs/r/bl52c9.htm

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons salt
4 pounds beef, short ribs, cut into 3" pcs
1/2 teaspoon pepper, black
3 cups onion, sliced
1/4 cup dry red wine, beef broth, or water
1 cup thinly sliced mushrooms, sauteed in butter
1 cup sour cream
salt, to taste
2 tablespoons parsley, fresh, minced
Preparation:
Set a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle short ribs with salt then add to hot skillet. Brown short ribs well on all sides. Season the meat with pepper; turn into a bowl. Add the oil to the skillet and saute the onion for about 3 minutes; transfer to the slow-cooker. Swirl the water, broth, or red wine in the still hot skillet and scrape up the browned bits. Add to the slow cooker with the beef ribs. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours, or until short ribs are very tender.
Remove short ribs to a serving platter and keep warm. Sauté mushrooms in a large skillet until tender; add the cooking liquid to the skillet. Simmer, scraping up the pan juices, until the sauce is reduced and thickened. Remove skillet from the heat. Stir in the sour cream; return to the heat just long enough to heat through. Taste and adjust seasonings. Do not boil. Pour sauce over the meat and sprinkle with parsley.
Serves 6.

I'm going out for dinner tonight. At least I think I am-- I'm in a bit of trouble at the moment.

Today is my birthday and my wife got home from work today and said she had a surprise for me. She said her friend Samantha's coming over to watch the kids so we could go out to dinner.

The trouble arose when is said "Oooo" after she said Samantha was coming over, erroneously thinking that that was the surprise.

The conversation went like this:

Mrs. Coffee: "I have a surprise for you-- Samantha's coming over..."

Mr. Coffee: "Oooo!"

Mrs. Coffee: "..to watch the kids so we can go to dinner, jackass."

Anyway, I think we're having sushi.

[DEADSOX]

I'm so happy they'll be some sort of baseball on tonight, I'm going to Buffalo Wild Wings for beer and wings.

Sounds like a huge mess...I'd just do everything in the slow cooker.

[Mr Coffee]

Don't judge.

I made this sauce last night....I debated about trying it because it has 4 ingredients in it...that's right just 4. It actually turned out good. I figured I would share it. It's a nice and light sauce. I used spinach fettuccini pasta.

Simple Butter and Tomato Sauce (Sugo al Burro e Pomodoro)
HOW TO COOK ITALIAN by Giuliano Hazan

Makes enough for 1 pound dried pasta

1 large can, whole tomatoes, purred or 1 large can of crushed tomatoes
6 tablespoons butter (REAL BUTTER PLEASE!)
Salt
1 medium yellow onion

1. Coarsely chop the tomatoes (if using whole tomatos) or dump the can of puree or crushed into a sauce pot. Place over medium heat, add the butter, and season with salt. (don't skip the salt!)
2. Peel the onion, trim away the root end, cut it in half, and add it to the pot.
When the tomatoes begin to bubble, lower the heat to low and simmer until the tomatoes are no longer watery and the sauce has reduced, 40-50 minutes.
{I remove the onion and I like to serve it on the side with toasted baguette bread. The onion caramelizes and becomes very sweet.
Toss with your choice of 1 lb. pasta !
Note: Once cool, the sauce will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days or you can freeze it for up to two months.

[4bronxbombers]

Something at the Stadium tonight....maybe I'll try the sushi. But right now, I just made an apple crisp. omg.

I'm not sure what the first instruction means. Put them in a sauce pot then pour in sauce pan?

[smr15]

tonight it's chuck-steak pizziola, maybe the easiest dish in the world to make.
All you need is time to simmer for hours.

chuck steak cut into chunks. Put in pot.
Use two lg. cans of Italian tomatoes (whole) that you kind of mash with a fork.
Add to pot.
Add a couple of sprigs of basil.

Put pot on stove (slightly venting cover), simmer for about 4+ hours, stirring occassionally.

The meat becomes very tender. The sauce tastes great.
Serve over pasta of your choice.

Oooh that sounds good. Could also do it in the crock I guess?

[4bronxbombers]

A friend of mine gave me the recipe for ribollita. He has gone to Italy several times for cooking classes. This soup looks great. I can't wait to try it. It sort of has a lot of ingredients though....

Love your CUT. One of my favorite songs.

[4bronxbombers]

Love your CUT. One of my favorite songs.

Is it? I listen to everday several times and I cry. I don't know why.....I guess it reminds me of a sad time in my life. A friend put it on a cd for me....I couldn't find it on youtube with Van Morrison singing it.

[smr15]

I'd bet that would workperfectly, too.

[Trish]

In all these years, believe it or not, I've never used chuck. I don't know why.

I suppose I should try.

Parents are going out to dinner with some old friends (like, from my mom's high school class of 35 years ago) so they gave us each $10 to fend for ourselves.

[YanksFan1992]

Chinese food.

[YankeePride1967]

chicken with dumplings and home made garlic bread.

$10.00..................Like that will do.

I don't understand why you can't understand that......okay I changed it.

[jlw1980]

Why wouldn't it? They can go to any fast food place and spend much less than that on a meal.

[Mr Coffee]

$10 at Taco Bell and you can feed a small village.

Something tells me Jake isn't the fastfood sort.

With ten bucks you could get a rotisserie chicken from the supermarket... or a six pack of beer.

No, I doubt Jake is the fast food sort. But he's not the one who'd be getting it.

[YankeePride1967]

I haven't had fast food since May and I thought I'd miss it, but I don't.

[Trish]

I don't understand why you can't understand that......okay I changed it.

I thought it was missing a step or something. Don't be offended.

[RYMASTER or Ryan_Yankees]

I got a cheesesteak for $9, if anyone cares.

[GiambiRocks]

I thought it was missing a step or something. Don't be offended.

No, it was my idiotic mistake.

[krystl]

Breakfast for dinner tonight. Chocolate chip pancakes and bacon, coffee and OJ.

[Trish]

No, it was my idiotic mistake.

Ah, OK

I made penne a la vodka. Soooo good.

[4bronxbombers]

I had the sushi at Yankee Stadium last night. It was great! The guy makes it right there, to order.

[xenadanielle]

I just put coq au vin (chicken with red wine and...stuff) in the crock. The house smells really good already from the bacon, chicken browining, and now the bf is making breaktass. Too bad I am sort of hung over so I can't really appreciated it right now.

Karen, chocolate chip pancakes for dinner sounds awesome. Yum!

I wanted to do a crock dinner, but it's late already. I have no idea what to make today, but there will be an apple pie.

Yeah this has to cook for 8 hrs but we usually eat late anyway. Or we will today since I did not get up early enough.

I don't mind eating late, but I haven't even gotten to the food store yet, and it's not looking like I'm getting there anytime soon...lol

It's Sunday, so, pasta. Sauce is simmering now.

Me too. And apple crisp for dessert.
