Fried onions and beer

[Bryophyte]

Roast beef for dinner. Mmmm. My whole house smells like fried onions and beer because after I seared the beef, I fried up onions and used some good, dark beer to deglaze the pan (which I poured over the beef. Baking some bread rolls to go with it. God, my house will smell so good this evening. Maybe I'll bake a pie. I love to cook.

What's everyone else having for dinner?

[Clair de Lune]

store box pad thai where you add your own ingredient. GF and I will add in cast-iron seared chicken breast strips, browned tofu, etc. I suspect it'll be half way decent.

I think I'll make roasted wild salmon with jasmine rice and an orange butter sauce, with some thyme-grilled zucchini on the side.

Uhh, aren't you dying from expired ham? Don't be stingy and give your stuff to the salvation army.

Me want.

On another note, why do people feel the need to "extravaganza" their meal?

This happens to be a perfect example. Why couldn't you have said "I think I'll make salmon with rice and sauce, and with some zucchini on the side."?

Made chicken enchiladas last night, finishing them off tonight.

Why wouldn't I add it, I know exactly what I am making. Better I leave it vague so people can ask what kind of sauce or how I prepare my salmon?

Just because you're a lazy motherfucker with no culinary imagination doesn't mean I need to be. If you have a problem with it, don't quote/and or read the post dumbass.

I made french onion soup last night (the real way... it took about 4 hours to just do the onions), so I'll probably have some of that. I also made some cabbage rolls with ground lamb that I have left over as well.

It was the searing of the beef that left the fond (isn't that what Alton Brown calls the brown, tasty bits in the pan?), not the onions. Though the sugary onions added to the flavoring of the deglazing sauce.

over a dozen responses, some with fancy smanshy dishes, but not one person making anything with Bacon in it - Ham doesn't count, not even close.

I nominate this thread for early EPIC FAIL canidate of '09.

Right. I re-read your post and edited mine.

I do that all the time too. I put a little oil in a cast iron skillet, get it nice and hot, put salt and pepper all over the roast, then sear it on all sides. I then remove the roast, add a little more oil, some thyme and garlic, then some butter. I then put the roast back in, baste it a few times, put it in the oven, basting one more time. I then pull the roast out to rest, then pour off the oil from the pan, deglaze with some wine and water, let all the little caramelized bits dissolve, then strain the liquid into a pan, and add a little flour/water to thicken it up
