This was a really great dinner. The salmon was scrumptious and easy to do. It just took a little time. For the recipe, Click Here or look on the recipe page above. Either way will get you the information. Enjoy it for as I said, it is really good. To the left is the salmon ready for the oven.
Here the dish is plated.

Spinach and Red Beet Salad

Who could ask for more? Actually we asked for more. We watched the movie, I Like Killing Flies. A strange documentary movie, but interesting. Here is a synopsis of the movie. If you can, get a copy and watch it.

A quirky documentary about Shopsin’s, a hole-in-the-wall Greenwich Village restaurant that’s been dutifully serving comfort food to satisfied customers for more than 30 years. Lording over the eatery is hilarious, ersatz philosopher/owner Kenny Shopsin. He is just as likely to throw his customers out as he is to take their orders. If you come in with 5 in your party, you will not be served and told to leave. This is a hilarious documentary and well worth watching. We got a copy on Netflix. Rated R (for language) and 1 hour, 19 minutes long.

Sunday, Oct 21, found us at another fantastic Quarterly Wine Dinner at the Buzz in Boise.Great event and great food and wines. Look at what we had and sorry if you missed this. Be sure to Left-Click for a larger view of the photos.  And as a matter of record, Christi will not tell you the cost of these wines before the end of the evening. She wants you, and rightly so, to judge the wine on its attributes and not on  the cost of the wine. Cheers!

And then on Monday morning – Meatless Monday Morning – we went to Le Café de Paris to meet a friend of us from Homedale, Gina. There we had breakfast. Some great toast and jam, but no pastries! That’s almost a Cardinal Sin. Almost. Gina bought several and took them back to Homedale with her. But here is what we had for breakfast and it was good. Enjoy!

Robin had this really delicious looking
Fried Egg Croissant
Fresh Fruit Bowl

I had an excellent
Omelet
asparagus, Gruyère cheese, mushrooms
Fried Potatoes with Green Onion

So, as you can see, we ate our way through the weekend. Oh. I didn’t tell you? For the homecoming game at BSU (they beat UNLV, 32-7) we had a great meatloaf. See Comfort Food at Halftime on this blog. Super weekend. It’s salad tonight. Cheers!

Chilie Rellenos For Dinner

21 Friday Sep 2012

Posted by Bob and Robin in Cinco de Mayo, Main Dish, Mexican Food, Photos By: Bob Young, Recipe By: Robin Young, Special Dinners, Traditional Food, Vegetables, What's For Dinner?

≈ Leave a comment


The other night while watching the BSU football game – they won over BYU, 7-6. Not the best of games for BSU – Robin made some wonderful Robin’s Chilies Relleños as a Living Room Tail-Gate Party. These were absolutely the best I have ever had. I will also link the recipe in the “Boise Foodie Blog Recipes” listed above. The photo on the left shows the poblanos being roasted on the stove. There is also a recipe attached to the Chilie Rellenos for a salsa. But do remember – Salsa and Chilie Rellenos are very local and recipes may change with location. Here are some more photos. Enjoy!

Peeling the “char” from the poblano pepper.

Frying the rellenos in corn oil.

Chilie Rellenos and Tamale, Fresh Fruit, Fresh Salsa and Blue Corn Chips. And, of course, an Inversion IPA in the background.

A Bronco meal! Check those colors.

Two Awesome Meals

Two awesome meals this weekend. This one is one Robin made in the motor home’s microwave while we were at the Snake River RV Resort in Homedale, Idaho.

Fresh Made Popovers filled with Fresh Egg Salad

This was simply delicious!

And then tonight we had

Grilled Pork Ribs
Chinese Black Rice
Fresh Made Sweet and Sour Sauce

This was another great meal. I have never had Chinese Black Rice, but it is delicious! Fruity. Maybe a little sweet. Great with the pork. We had grilled three racks of these ribs and they were all super. Cheers!

Lamb Dinner

27 Sunday May 2012

Posted by Bob and Robin in Lamb, Main Dish, Photos By: Bob Young, Recipe: Bob and Robin Young, What's For Dinner?

≈ Leave a comment


A super good dinner tonight!

Saffron Rice and Pearled Barley


Tagine Lamb Shanks


Vegetable Medley


Dockside Peanut Butter Pie

Really a good and delicious dinner. And all in one pot. Easy to make and clean up. After Two and a Half hours at 350 degrees F, the lamb just falls apart. We generously rubbed the shanks with Ras El Hanout Spice Mix, a Moroccan style spice blend. And one half cup of wine for steam. Enjoy! Tagine is a very Mediterranean type of cooking. The meal is cooked slowly over medium heat and sealed in the tagine.

Here is the vegetable medley layered in the bottom of the tagine with the lamb placed on top of the vegetables. Notice some of the Ras El Hanout on the shanks.

The lamb shanks, or you can use pork or beef shanks, too, placed on the vegetables in the tagine. Notice the top of the tagine. It is cone shaped to allow the steam to swirl around the shanks. The steam port is visible on the top left of the top.

Steamed Spinach and Shrimp

15 Tuesday May 2012

Posted by Bob and Robin in Captain's Shack, HDR, Main Dish, Photos, Photos By: Bob Young, Shrimp, Vegetables, What's For Dinner?

≈ Leave a comment


Here was an awesome dinner. Steamed shrimp over 2 bunches of fresh tarragon infused water. Sauteed ramps, chives and garlic in 1T bacon drippings. Add 1c of the tarragon water used to steam the shrimp. Add diced asparagus and steam for 2 minutes. Add the spinach and cover to wilt. This is a fantastic way to combine shrimp and spinach. If you try this, let us know how you liked it. I can also imagine it with some fiddlehead ferns. Cheers!
