The only way to get my wife to eat tomatoes, one of my favorite foods, is my simple bread salad. (On the other hand, if she didn't eat it, I'd still make it, because it is better than sex. Really. And no, I do not need to get out more.)

Rustic Tomato Bread Salad

Tomato (2-3 plum, 1-2 on vine, 1 beefsteak..) Local if possible.
Stale bread. Italian or baguette is best.
1/2 bunch fresh basil (not dried)
Balsamic Vinegar
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Buffalo mozzarella (optional)

1 large bowl

Chop tomato into pieces about the size of your fingertip (don't ask), place in bowl.
Tear bread into large pieces. If too stale to tear, cut with knife. Place in bowl.
Wash and finely chop basil. Place in bowl
Pour in a 1:1 ratio of balsamic to olive oil, about 1/4 cup total - not enough to soak , but enough to create a little pool at the bottom of the bowl.
Toss contents of bowl, making sure the bread is at least wetted by the vinegar and oil.
Salt and pepper to taste, then let sit 20-30 mins before serving. Toss again immediately before serving.

Option: add slices/cubes of buffalo mozzarella 5 minutes before serving.

It would not be a bad idea to have a sticky in the cuban section.

I just added the beli...that I bought a bunch of in 2 different wrappers in November :whistling: .....you'd think I would have added that one!
 
By the way, I'm good with Spivy's p/t's, so we're rolling right along! :thumbs:

The only thing I was double checking was the Mag50 EL for a RA Belicosos which was one of the first regional release cigars (for the UK) that was produced. They're both very close in original value, and rarity seems about the same for both as well. A vendor I know used to have the RAB's, but I checked this morning and they're not listed anymore :(

I made this this afternoon:

Garlic Prime Rib

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)
  • 1 (10 pound) prime rib roast
  • 10 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
DIRECTIONS
  1. Place the roast in a roasting pan with the fatty side up. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper and thyme. Spread the mixture over the fatty layer of the roast, and let the roast sit out until it is at room temperature, no longer than 1 hour.
  2. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
  3. Bake the roast for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, then reduce the temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C), and continue roasting for an additional 60 to 75 minutes. The internal temperature of the roast should be at 145 degrees F (53 degrees C) for medium rare.
  4. Allow the roast to rest for 10 or 15 minutes before carving so the meat can retain its juices.
I followed this basic outline except:
1) 5 1/4lb roast
2) mixed all the ingredients but only used 1/2
3) Seared for 20 minutes but cooked on 340 for about 75 - let sit for 15.

Meal was most excellent. Definate 4+stars for an easy home cooked meal.
(5 if I scored the fat and let some more flavor into the meat.)

Powdered mashed(with chicken broth instead of water)
Frozen corn
Bag-O-Salad
Horserdish/sour cream mix.

These look like they'll work for me!

Hopefully this thing will land in the next day or so and you'll have it out just before you're gone!
