What's for dinner tonight?

Nothing yet.... Beest has a new fish and he seems to have forgotten about cooking..... :(

Well, I did the pizza and the cheesy poofs. I didn't have room for the potato.

Now I will hate myself in the morning.

you ate homosexuals with bad hygiene? Or did you mean the other kind of cheesy?

:lol:

It's not my fault if a hobo turns out to be a homosexual with bad hygiene. You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your hobos.

Ewwwwwww - bad girls!

Not about my dinner, but I'm cooking Grandad's tonight.
I've been egg blowing (about to set up a new thread for that) so he gets scrambled eggs for tea tonight. Dads had scrambled eggs this morning and I made myself a cheese and onion omelette for lunch today.

NO hobos were killed during this production. I thank you.

Tonight I am thinking of splurging on some salmon. I've been pretty good about eating well, with the exception of yesterday and a brief yet satisfying affair with Klondike Bars.

Some nice baked salmon. Any suggestions for a side? (No broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussels sprouts, asparagus, or lettuce that looks like it's got a giant corn stalk embedded in the middle.)

Of course, I'm all about the potato. I still have my lonely potato I didn't eat last night. Well, maybe ONE more day of splurge.

:eek:

What happened to your hair Monnie???????

what?

I'm right in the middle of baking a salmon fillet :P Sprinkled with fresh dill, crushed black pepper corns and sea salt.

Though I am serving it with asparagus and potatoes.

I was too tired to make dinner. Ugh.

How was the salmon? Yummy!

It was lovely! And for once I didn't overcook it!

The salmon was tasty, the potatoes were creamy, the asparagus was cooked to perfection :) The fresh dill i threw into my supermarket trolley on a whim really came in handy :)

jokin the the pic you posted was actually you.

oh.

arni souvlaki - greek lamb kabobs
greek salad
rice
homemade bread

I'm drooling already.

I have a strong suspicion that today's Easter dinner at my bro and sis-in-law's will be an Amish theme. They just got back from a trip to Amish country and the word at Rumspringa is that she was scooping up recipe cards right and left. She loves theme entertaining. I should get her and SG together, they'd have a ball!

Roast turkey leg, roast potatoes, carrots, bbrroccolli, gravy ...

Roast chicken and the works:)

Down at my Bro's.

Roast Leg of Lamb! Beest is torturing us with yummy smells....

Ooooh. Roast leg of lamb! Haven't had that in years.

costs an arm and a .... well it's expensive over here. caught it on sale a while back and froze some.

Lamb isn't that cheap over here nowadays. Price seems to have gone up a lot in recent years.

it's equivalent to about 8 quid a pound on average, here. Compared to beef, chicken and pork at about 1.5-3 quid.

yummmm

OMG - thats like the PERFECT meal!

Yeah, especially with the prosecco mimosas, steaks on the grill, tater salad, avocado salad, ricotta pie.... that's what we did all day.

fainting from sheer food jealousy

It was supposed to be Chipotle, but the fuckers were closed for Easter. (Seriously?! Nobody does anything special past 3 in the afternoon on Easter. You can call your minimum-wage workers back in for the dinner rush.) So instead it was this random Indian place, which turned out to be terrible.

Ham
Corn souffle
Snow peas
Salad of arugula, strawberries and walnuts
kumquat and poblano marmalade
Brioche rolls
Carrots (from a box, blurgh)

A sweet Gewurz Spatlese.

Ricotta cheesecake with strawberries and wild blueberries
Flan caramel
Yellow cake with chocolate whipped cream icing


Food = tasty, but not imaginative
going to services at a R.C. Ch = grit my teeth till my head ached

Ditto!

Tonight. 1 fried pork chop, Butter peas, corn bread, chunk of onion, marinated mushrooms and artichoke hearts. Pop w/foam on top

pizza, not even homemade.

Last night I roasted a chicken breast stuffed with a a dollop of butter, mixed with lemon jiuce, creme fraiche, fresh parsley, sea salt and black pepper. Served with British Anya new potatoes, crushed with parsley butter. And a side of sliced mini portabello mushrooms and finely chopped shallots, poached in cream and garlic.

Last night: pan-roasted chicken tacos with homemade refritos.

Tonight: Swordfish steaks and tiny rosemary potatoes over arugula, lemon-caper dressing.

Tonight..... we eat out!

Knights

menu

Last night we (kids and I) had white rice due to not feeling well. Today isn't looking much better.

Hope you guys are doing much better.


Tonight I made BBQ beef sandwiches on a kaiser roll.

Mom gets roast beef tomorrow.

Watercress and egg salad and durian for dessert. Hmm....that doesn't sound too tasty when seen in print. :rolleyes:

This is the third time in April that I've heard of this fruit. First there were the "no eating durians on the train" signs I saw on Boing Boing, and all the comments there that went with that. Then I saw them being sold in an asian grocery store last weekend, kept frozen to keep the smell down, and now here.

I had never heard of them before. Besides my understanding that they smell god awful, I don't know much about them. Are they any good?

What's for dinner?
Brussels sprout and runner bean risotto!

I never knew Asian grocery stores kept durians in the freezer to keep the smell down. They do smell god awful though(common knowledge, but it doesn't bother me that much). Like blue cheese, durian is an acquired taste. I've heard that a person either love it or depise. But yeah, the smell is pretty strong. If you want just to taste a hint of its smell, try durian ice cream or durian flavored candy or cookie. If you wanna try but can't find any, I can send you some. The candy, cookie, that is. :p:

The fruit itself is no biggie. The fresh fruit is always better than the frozen one. Frozen durian gets kind of mushy once thawed. Personally, I like jackfruit better.:) I don't love nor hate durian. Someone gave us a frozen durian so the smell wasn't strong. But then I have a very dull sense of smell so odors don't bother me as much as most people.

Left overs, the wife is out of town and there is no reason to cook with all the good food we have in the frig.

Curry Chicken or left over Indian Food... two great choices.

Sides of fresh salad and or Tabouli.

I'm making Thai Green Curry, and I'm so excited. It's one of my favorite meals.

Had pasta with arugula pesto and leftover sliced flank steak for lunch. With tomatoes. Dinner... will be whatever we find... out there...

Dinner? Ohhh...feck, I forgot to eat again. Right ... Supernoodles it is then.

Forgot to eat? No wonder you're so thin. :p: Don't you get hungry?

Yeah ... but then I get distracted ... or maybe I eat a bar of chocolate...or have a cup of tea, or a cigarette... I do eat mostly, I just forget to have a meal some days... it varies.

I have eaten something today *thinks* I'm sure I ate something. Yeah, I had a bar of chocolate, in the afternoon. But i haven't had a meal. I was going to cook something but then, y'know, I was messing about on the comp and then J came round and we watched a programme and then I was back on the comp, and I just realised I never did carry out my plan of making a meal.


I have had a couple of beers though ... that's hops and stuff right? Nutritional. Mmm.

Beer is probably more nutritional than Super Noodles. :p:

Tacos!

But Super Noodles cost like 20 times more than Ramen Noodles, so they must have 20 times the nutrition at least, so twnty time 0 is.... oh. Have another beer, Dana


(and fill us in on the true nature of your relationship with J :p: )

lol the true nature of my relationship with J? He's my bestest and oldest friend. He's also Pilau's 'Daddy' since we were together when we got him. There is absolutely nothing romantic between me and J. Hasn't been for a very long time. We split up around 2000/1 (iirc)

Vegetable pot pie. I threw in a little shredded chicken I had in the freezer too but still way more veggies than chicken.

So it's like the store bought chicken pot pies. :lol:

I was going to say that very same thing!!! :eek:

In fact I started typing and stopped.:lol:

good call bruce

The girl made mini (cupcake sized) chicken pot pies, with biscuit tops, for lunch today. Completely unassisted. She rocks

Yum.... like in a cupcake tin! That does rock! especially with the biscuit tops. wow .. neat

Yeah, she got these individual silicon muffin cups and a cookbook for easter. Lots of mini items.

I forgot I took a pic duh...
