Fine Dining

Todays post is about somthing I cooked this month and I am going to try and do this at least once a month. So, Saturday Miriam and I were wondering what we should have for supper and we really didn't have anything in the house that was easy and quick to whip up. Upon inspecting the fridge we came up with the idea that all we needed were some simple additions, obtainable at the local grocery store and we could make shish kebabs. Fortunatly Miriam had thrown some chicken breast meat along with a few left over chunks of raw beef round, into a bowl with some italian dressing to marinade. So, Miriam and I went to Winn-Dixie and got some baby portabella mushrooms, green peppers and some green and yellow squash. After returning home we cut the meat into bite size chunks and skewered them on sticks. Then we grilled the shish kebabs on our nice big George forman grill (thank you Uncle Rod and Aunt Beth) untill they smelled so good we could not stand to wait any longer. Whilst I was fussing with stabbing chunks of meat and various vegetables, Miriam was whipping up some amazingly tasty butter, garlic and parmesan pasta. Here is the finished product try not to drool on your keyboard.


I also took a picture with some pretty things to make you guys even more hungry (notice the pretty candle, and NO I didn't steal it from my next door neighbor). In case your wondering thats Coke Zero in my cup. All things considered I would give this meal a 98%. I think I might have enjoyed it a tad more if I had had some lemon juice to squeeze on my pasta but we just didn't think of it while we were at the store. The after effects of this meal were catastrophic on our breath and I woulden't recomend it if you are trying to impress a date. (Please note that no real Shish Kebabs were hurt during the making of this meal)

And finally! A word from a professional food Critic! Now since this is our first time I thought I might do somthing special. As it turned out however, the only person I could find was a wierd pirate person thingy. So without further adu... or however you spell it, I give you Wierd Beard the pirate!

Arrrr! First I just wanna say that back in me day we hadda KILL our kebab veggies! there was none O' this shoppin at the "Store" for 'em. Yessir, I member the firs time I chased down a wild green squash... I harpooned the beaut right off port bough. Those were the days! None 'O this "Store" shoppin stuff! Yer can have it! Give me fresh killed veggies any day. And as fer yer measely little excuse fer a meal, it woulden't satisfy me hunger when I was a wee boy let alone a grown glorious pirate! Me advice to ye would be ta triple the portions and lay off the garlic. Yer breath could wipe out Black Beard 'imself... Arrrrrrrr!
