What's for Dinner, Sun., Jan.1, 2022

[NJCher]

Broccoli and ground pork on cauliflower pizza crust. Lots of mozzarella and red pepper flakes over the top.

Talenti gelato bars for dessert. They are "mini" bars. Chocolate.

[Marthe48]

1. Sauerkraut balls and salad

I made the sauerkraut balls with my homemade bulk pork loin sausage, sauerkraut and cream cheese. Baked, not fried. Romaine with onions, radish, and celery, some Mozzarella cheese and creamy Italian dressing. Nice cool down from all of the holiday food.

I'm looking forward to seeing food ideas thru January

Happy New Year!

5. Same as last night...

pork roast, sauerkraut, baked mashed potatoes. Adding black-eyed peas with slab bacon (canned) for the husband.

How did things end up with you last night on your sushi mission?

[NJCher]

11. The sushi was terrific

but I didn't get the beef negamaki because the wait would have been too long.

This place is new and riding the wave of rave reviews around here. I should have known it would be difficult on New Year's Eve but I took a chance and got part of what I wanted.

I definitely will return, though, as I haven't had beef negamaki in an age.

Yum, your dinner sounds perfect for the New Year!

[hippywife]

12. Sounds like it was sort of worth the trip.

Can you call ahead and order to get the beef negamaki?

[NJCher]

14. they only take online orders

that's why I ventured out in person, because I didn't trust their site. I didn't want to pay for an order and get over there to find it was messed up or worse yet, not even made on a busy night like New Year's Eve.

I'm going to make reservations to dine in person around January 15, when the RG will be coming in from Italy. That's how long it takes to get a reservation, at least at the current time.

[alfredo]

[no_hypocrisy]

20. Repurposed my prime rib:

Baked and blossomed baked potato. Covered with combination of sour cream, Dijon mustard, and hot hot horseradish. Covered with strips of prime rib au jus. Sprinkled with shredded Cheddar cheese and thinly sliced scallions.

Food fit for the gods!!

[Retrograde]

22. Grilled lamb chops,

sweet potato oven fries, green salad, maybe a fruit salad as well

[slightlv]

23. I just finished a magnificent and very filling dinner...

at least, for the two of us!

Hubby grilled steaks with his special homemade BBQ sauce... they turned out scrumptious and melt in your mouth fantastic.

I'd started a pot of black-eyed peas, the Cajun holy trinity, and various herbs sometime earlier to add to some rice for our own version of "hoppin' John"

Finished it off with a great piece of home made cornbread. Hopefully this will ensure joy, love, health, and prosperity for us in this new year! (gryn)

I'd thought about baking a bundt cake for dessert, but neither one of us could hold one ounce more tonight, I'm convinced!
