Ribeye and Asparagus last night. Didn't snap a picture...don't matter, they were unimpressive looking, but tasty. Tonight, I may recreate this one, but with potatoes instead of asparagus:

Watching football with friends. Doing a small primerib that I'll slice thin for sandwiches with horseradish and blue cheese. Serve with roasted potato salad. Too plain Jane to even take a pic, but it'll be good. :-)

[Ernest Jones]

Prime rib is ALWAYS good.

It's Sunday, but I'm too lazy to go anywhere or invite anyone over for Football. So I'll be eating Brats, and I have buffalo chicken and taco dips to keep me company.

If Ernest and David are "scratch" chefs, count me as a 30 handicapper or so.  I have, like, 2 or 3 recipes I will make every once in awhile.  One of them is a crab cakes with green onion sauce that I found online, and I might be making those tonight.  If so, I'll try and take some photos.

I'll second that motion.

Do any of you guys ever watch the show "Chopped"? It is awesome. Ernest, I feel like you'd love that show.

I'd consider myself a single digit griller, but if I don't have a grill...30+...easy. Haha.

Never seen it. I used to watch a TON of cooking shows when I first got digital cable years ago but the novelty wore off. If one is on I'll enjoy it but I won't seek it out.

Cooking shows are a great way to learn how to cook the basics by the way, but ultimately you need to know how to improvise.

I loathe Chopped. About 10 minutes of commercials and setups for every minute of actual cooking.

I'll second "Chopped" for just that reason.  Three rounds, appetizer, entre, and desert.  Chefs are given a box of unusual ingredients in each round and have a short period of time to put together the dish.  Loser is "chopped" and the rest move to the next round.  A "box" might include something like liver, peanut brittle, fennel, salmon roe, and key limes......make an appetizer in 15 minutes using all the ingredients.  Very interesting to see the plates they come up with.

I'm a decent home cook.....but you're right, the creativity and ability to improvise that top chefs have is way beyond little ole me......
