"There's nothing in this house to eat!"

elfs"I brought this for dinner," said one of the guests to our bi-weekly Sunday D&D game. "This" turned out to be a 30oz salmon fillet that he had caught himself earlier that week.
There was a moment of scrambling. Omaha and I hadn't done the weekly grocery shopping yet, for one thing. We looked at each other and wondered aloud about how we could cook it. We hadn't planned on this.
I cast about the kitchen. I thought. "There are peaches there," I said, pointing to the fruit basket. "And two Mexican zucchini." Big ones. "We have tomatoes in the back yard. Do we have any red onion?"
"There are two halves in the fridge. Somebody keeps slicing new onions without checking to see if there's already one in there."
Oops.
Dinner was salmon roasted in butter, a peach-tomato-red onion salsa topping tempered with lime juice, and broiled zucchini coins with sweated onions and Parmesan. It took all of 20 minutes to put together. I had a lovely white wine. I am the Iron Chef!
Really, D&D games shouldn't be this well-fed. Where are the Cheetos, the overdoses of soda pop, the bad pizza?

Date: 2011-09-22 04:28 am (UTC)One of the pound-and-change jars of tomato puree, pound of turkey, two green bell peppers and one red, one whole red onion, most of a bulb of garlic. Oh, and a canister of bread crumbs since the loaf of bread I'd been leaving out to crumb got tossed out as being stale. >.>
Crumbled and browned the meat w/ some sage, used the juices to sautee all the veggies together while peeling the garlic, crushed the garlic in when I dumped the tomato puree and meat in, brought straight to a boil then off the heat entirely while stirring in the bread crumbs until it was thick enough to stand the spoon up in. Took... about 1-2 cups from the canister.
Then just served that over freshly pan-cooked cous-cous cooked so it was more like crumbled corn-bread than anything else.
Someone else handled bringing drinks and dessert. =^.^=
