Saturday Supper
Yes, I know it is Sunday, but yesterday was Saturday and this was Saturday’s dinner, and “Saturday Supper” sounded better than “Yesterday’s Dinner.” Though, Yesterday’s Diner sounds like a good name for a diner.
Apparently, I’m not the only one that thinks that, because there already is a Yesterday’s Diner. They even serve quesadillas! What are the odds?
You see, I’m on the cutting edge of yesteryear!
Anyway, back to Saturday’s supper…
In the middle, we start with some flank steak. Sure, it should be in strips, but it’s so tender it just pulled apart real easily when cutting. Still delicious, though it didn’t have the kick I usually have with my flank steak. I think I left something out, but not sure what. Still good though.
In the back are homemade guacamole and homemade nacho chips. The chips were slightly overdone. Not as bad as Friday’s attempt, and today I finally got the timing figured out. Anyway, they were almost done yesterday, when I turned off the oven. I left them in there while I cut the flank steak, and I guess I took a little too long cutting the meat. Anyway, they were a little more golden brown than was really necessary. But, they weren’t burnt, so they still tasted fine. The appearance is more of an issue than the taste.
On the sides is a quesadilla, cut into four sections. Looks like one on either side of the plate, but there are two on either side. With the way I stacked them (and then added the sour cream), it looks like two, but there are four. They were stuffed with cheese and a simple salsa.
In the back left corner is a Cherry Coke.
So, that was dinner. And breakfast/lunch (brunch?) today was a quesadilla and some more chips, made fresh. This time, I got the timing right! Nice and crunchy, not too golden brown. Finished off the rest of the guacamole, though I will probably make some more tonight. Maybe.
Tonight’s supper, as if you care but you’ve read this far, is wings!
And maybe some more chips. Probably.
Maybe a quesadilla too. Maybe not. Maybe I’ll go have one now… Maybe I’ll try one with some of the leftover flank steak and cheese.
Do you put lime in your guac? Do you put lime on anything? And where is the jalapeno? I need to dry ice some real Tex-Mex and send it to Ohio I see.
Anyhoo I had Pallenta for breakfast on Saturday and then Fried Pallenta for dinner topped w/ guac and sour cream.
There is lime in the guacamole and on the chips as well.
No jalapeños this time around. I’ve done the flank steak with chipotle sauce before, and even made my own chipotle sauce out of fresh jalapeños using methods you would not approve of.
I’ve never made polenta. I do like grits, though I’ve not had any in a while.
I don’t care for polenta- jer likes it and grits but it gets into my crown and drives me nutty.
Fried polenta is awesome. Yummy stuff.
