My Dewey Beach Daze has come late in life; after 20 years of marriage and 1 kid.
I missed the 'Till Death Dewey Party- Debauchery Years of street Toga parties of 100's, when Police gave fines for "excessive blender... Marguerita... noise", or would march in and cut the cords of bad-ass speaker systems.
Never having done the beer thing in college or later, or now...... My Dewey buds instruct that special drinking events require special pre-drinking meals.... the better to get thru the bar event! Pre-requisite: a bit heavy and fatty.
Ah, perhaps the Biggest and Silliest Drinking Event of the Season is: The Starboard's Running of The Bull! Hours and Hours of Drinking "to prepare" for running with the crowd on the beach alongside the cutest Bull ever! ( I gave him pets and kisses ).
( Shop at The Giant Foods, Rte One, the night before the event. Morning of, does not work as the drinking starts in the AM!)
Thus I present:
Running with The Bull, er Lamb.... umm-yuumm, Bull, uh, whatever.
Olive Oil
Ground Lamb, 1 lb
One Tub of Pre-cooked Rice, Lundberg Brand, micro-waved for 60 seconds
Tomatoes, 2 chopped
Green Olives, Pitted, ~ 1/3 cup chopped
Onion, 1 chopped
Garlic, 2 cloves, chopped
Parsley, Flat Leaf, minced, ~ 1/3 bunch
Mushrooms, ~ 8 chopped
Red Wine, 1/2 cup
Marjoram, Dillweed to taste
Mustard, 1 tablespoon
In a nice big saute pan , add a very small ladle of olive oil and heat up. Add in the onion, garlic, and mushrooms and let them get some nice color. Then add in the ground Lamb and let that brown up. Then add in everything else, except the wine. Turn up the heat to high and stir and stir until a fair amount of moisture comes off. Then add in the wine and stir some more.
Butternut Squash: pre-chopped: this is in a clear plastic container with all the other fresh veggys.
Butter, 1 Tablespoon.
Place in a dish with a small amount of water. Cover and microwave for ~ 7 minutes. Drain. Mash. Add in a big pat of butter and mash again.
Ta DA!
