Meal No. 1121: Grilled Veal Chops

For what is likely to have been the last pretty day of fall, with unseasonably warm temps and light breezes, I just wanted to grill out last night. The veal chops were on sale and looked good, and with homemade mashed potatoes and perfectly-cooked asparagus, this was quite the feast for a Tuesday evening.

Meal No. 856: Grilled Veal Chops for Lunch

Mondays are often my travel day, and this one is as well. But there is still an exception, because tonight I taught a three-hour class next door in Greensboro, for the Guilford County Schools Alternative Certification Track program. My timeslot was 5 pm to 8 pm, and then I drove 4.5 hours up to Winchester. It was a late night!

But being home until about 3:30 pm left me with the opportunity to make lunch before heading out, and I tried not to be shabby about it. Around 2 pm, I sat down for a fine meal of grilled rosemary-crusted veal T-bone chops, lemon-garlic herbed baby gold potatoes with a parmesan crust, and sugar snap peas. That's what'll get me through this long day.

Meal No. 709: Grilled Veal Chops

The first day of April was picture-perfect, with warm sunny skies and bright sunshine. There was a cool breeze much of the day, though, that led me to wait until close to 8:30 pm to fire up the grill for this evening's fare: veal T-bone chops with shredded lemon-basil Brussels sprouts and rosemary-thyme fingerling potatoes. You are unlikely to see a repeat of those shredded Brussels sprouts, though. They were a bit yucky.

Meal No. 500: Grilled Veal Loin Chop

I did not remember, when making plans for tonight's meal, that it was going to be a Meal Milestone.

It is very nearly and almost three years to the day since the kitchen addition to the Roediger House was substantially completed and was in working order for creating the first meal.

I would say, though, that even without planning it, tonight's menu was sufficiently qualified to stand in for the milestone of being the 500th meal in this new kitchen.

On the table for a gathered group of four: grilled veal loin chops with a rosemary-garlic gremolata; blue cheese and pine nut risotto (I've been on a risotto kick); fresh-steamed whole green beans; and a salad with home-made buttermilk blue cheese dressing to start things off.

Oh, and let's not forget the finisher: home-made key lime frozen yogurt:
