What's for dinner?

leatherback

Hey All,

I just returned from my 200 sqm veggie patch, and as I was cooking, I wondered what everybody else is eating. Especially considering the huge programming & compu component in our lifes..

For me..
I am having Pasta, with a tomatoe-red whine sauce, filled with fresh zucchini, Basal, Thyme and spring onions. Topped with some grated gouda cheese, a side of Rucula & lettuce mixed with roasted pine seeds, and a glass of cabernet-sauvignon red.

Curious to hear..

Wow... hope he has a landing strip in his backyard!

My dinner tonight: McDonalds, sitting in bar, taking bites between pool shots. Washed down with a Woodchuck. Mmmm...

mozarella and tomatoe slices with fresh basil and basalmic vinegar
vinho verde (which doesn't go perfectly but it's a great wine for a summer evening)

Y'all have a good time at Leatherbacks...sounds lovely.

You mean like the houses about 10 minutes from my house?

I am so unhappy now 🙁

I went out to the garden, and cooked an extra larger serving, so you all could join. And now.. Nobodyy's showing..

Guess I'll crack open a hoegaarden and get drunk alone. 🙁

Wish you were here! The in-crowd is invited for dinner!

Buzz.. You got a burger for me too?

I've just come back from a recording at the BBC and popped into a kebab house after and had the weirdest kebab of my life! I ordered a mixed donner, which is normal lamb donner and chicken shish, my friends the same, he asked were we eating in: yes - strange of course, as kebab is always eaten staggering down a road out of your skull, anyway they server the meat on top of the salad ON PLATES with a knife and fork, and brought the pittas separately... I dunno, it was really nice, but sort of like being given a pair of chopsticks to eat a hotdog, it don't feel right.

PS. Ever in Oslo, DO NOT order a kebab. Worst in the world. Even after 24 pints it still tastes like peppercorns mixed with cat litter.

Leatherback, you drink Hoegaarden? But it's a girls beer...or so my gf tells me.

Of course, I had a Hoegaarden last night as well. We realized that the strange little bar at the end of our street is actually not strange at all. Plus, it's cheap, had good service and they are friendly.

Well.. Then your gf doesn't know what is good..

It is actually really nice beer, and my friends and I drink it always in summer. Nice piece of lemon in it, and drink it with some bbq activities..

Really. Nope it is not a girlsdrink.

Oh, shes does know. It's a joke... 😉

Actually, in Seattle we had a beer called Hefeweizen that was also known as 'the lemonade of beers'. It was a wheat beer and was amazing with a bunch of lemons in it. Oh how I miss the beer in Seattle. I know Belgium is supposed to have great beer but I would gladly host a competition pitting the two and I'm pretty darn sure Seattle (microbrews) would come out on top.

Last night I had Thai Green curry. It wasn't very good. Tonight I think I'm having sweet and sour.

Hm.. That's tough. Particularly since you want to compare 7 beers from microbrews to 1000+ beers from belgian monestaries. I am sur ethey make great beer. Bot. THe belgiums as the microbrews.

Well, the pacific northwest has hundreds of microbreweries. That's what I'm sayin' yo!

Actually, I don't drink beer very often. I'm more of a red wine person (although vinho verde or 'green wine' is one of my faves).

BuzzLY

I am not a beer drinker myself, but I did live in Seattle for about 4 years, and I can attest the the popularity of their microbreweries. They were almost as prevalent as Starbucks coffeehouses and grunge bands. I do remember Hefeweisen -- my ex-wife used to drink that stuff all the time.

Now, if you want label a beer as a girl-drink, look no further than our resident EL girl Elizabeth -- she drinks Killian's. I guess that makes Killian's a girl's beer, eh? 😃
