Attention What are you having for dinner?

[Maklaar13]

Chinese take out. My guy has been away at a conference for a couple of days. He gets home this evening, so it is a quiet evening of martinis, Chinese food and hopefully some sweet loving.

 

[Alistair]

Slow baked bbq ribs. I think I’ll add asparagus and carrots but I have 2 hours to decide.

 

[Vannie]

Not very healthy tonight.

Hot dogs with sauerkraut and yellow mustard. And some chips.

Mangos and Kiwi for later.

That depends on what you do with the hot dogs.

I had to freeze them first. Brrrrrrr

I'm going to brown off a package of hamburger meat. Add a can of diced tomatoes and a can of tomato sauce. Seasoning? Not sure. I'm not in the mood for something spaghetti sauce-ish. I'm leaning towards chili powder and cumin. Maybe a big pinch of curry powder. Chili Mac of a sort. I might use macaroni or bow tie pasta. Might add an 8 oz can of corn. I'll figure it out once the meat is cooked.

 

[fredroy]

Ok. A pound and half of ground beef. Browned, salt and peppered to taste, and most of the grease dipped out of the pan. In goes a 28 oz can of diced tomatoes. And a can of tomato sauce and a can of water. The rest is "eating teaspoon" not "measuring spoons".
A third spoon of curry powder
Half a spoon of garlic powder.
A spoon of cumin.
A spoon of chili powder.
Half a spoon of cocoa powder.

Mix it up and add another spoon of chili powder. Just about right, a little more salt. Yes!

Three handfuls of macaroni. Two spoons of dried onion. A couple or three more cans of tomato sauce cans of water. It's a full pan now but the macaroni will soak up the water. Put the lid on, turn the burner down to the high side of LO.
Now let it get up to a simmer and get happy for at least 30 minutes.

We'll be eating this for a couple of days.

Some day I'll make Cheks Mix. I have all of the parts in the deep freezer. Oh, and roast some peanuts and pecans to add. And what the heck, some Fried Raisins, too.

 

[PrinceCory]

I went to Wally World this even to get a few things. I ended up getting a meal platter from the deli. BBQ boneless "wings" and for the two sides i got cream cheese jalepano poppers and mozzarella cheese sticks. My stomach will pay for all that fried food tomorrow.

 

[LoveMyPeppermill]

Chicken shu mai from Trader Joe's.
Soon to be followed by veggies in Thai green curry from Trader Joe's.

Lucky devil to be able to just go out and get this....

 

[fredroy]

I finally googled scallops. It never seemed exactly correct but I had in my my head they were sorta of cookie cuttered from sea and or manta rays. One of those things like "chicken fajitas", an impossible thing, just marketing.

 

[fredroy]

Supper tonight is the last of the Chili Mac I made on Saturday.
Tomorrow, no telling.

Scallops are good if they’re cooked right.

I made an impromptu variant of gumbo last night, but only had a small bowl as sample because of the late hour. It's on the lively side, as it has seven kinds of pepper in it. Was throwing in a few things I wanted out of the fridge, but added shrimp and crawfish tail meat at the end to the chicken and ham that I had already.

It. Was. So. Good.

But, I also made a quiche Saturday morning with ham, English peas, sweet peppers, onions, and cheddar. I'm thinking leftovers of that will be supper, plus some yellow squash sauteed.

Will take the gumbo to work for lunches.

It would give you a little extra sauce. ^



I made Chicken Parmesan with fresh Buffalo Mozzarella Cheese. And I made a fresh baby spinach salad with sliced mushrooms red onion croutons and a apple cider sweet and sour dressing. No garlic bread.

In past years, and perhaps still today, round pieces cookie-cuttered from manta ray wings were frequently passed off as scallops.
