The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat

Tonight I made my favorite "Oh my goodness it's almost 5 what am I going to make tonight?" dinner. Something I thought would never again be my old stand by. Yummy grilled cheese sandwiches with tomatoes, fresh tossed salad and yummy acorn squash mango soup. Just cooked it up with some Rudi's gluten-free bread fresh mozzarella with roma tomato slices and basil leaves and the yummy acorn squash mango soup I have bought for years is gluten free!

Pizza! Totally loaded pizza. My 13-year old granddaughter is spending the weekend with me and she loves to use my KA mixer.

Hubs' sweet Aunt was here for dinner yesterday (hence the late post) but she is so easy to cook for and I LOVE having her here.

Can you imagine an 84- year- old who will happily eat ANYTHING you give her (and who loves her Manhattans? :) ). She is such a fun gal!

She feasted on:

Shrimp cocktail

Tapenade and garlic toasts

artichoke and spinach dip

Filet mignon

Grilled baby potatoes

corn on the cob (the farm down the road has stuff that makes you cry---- it is so good)

Almond pound cake with our blueberries (they finally came in--yaay!!! )

Fresh whipped cream

She always says "OMYGAWD!! I am soooo fulll!!""

and I always reply, "whew, that's a relief. I was aiming for that!!" and she laughs!!

Tonight's dinner:

That is such a great word!

Poor hubby is missing his nutritionally defunct hamburger helper so he looked up a recipe to make some. I've been known to eat all sorts of things that I wouldn't call good but aren't really bad either so as long as it doesn't suck I'll at least be satisfied if not happy.

I've got some cucumber salad in the fridge to go with it too, very yummy. He had brought in a couple cucumbers yesterday before heading to work and I sort of felt like it was time for me to have a few. He was horrified at the idea that his cucumbers had become something other than pickles. :lol:

Pasta Puttanesca

(I have always loved the story behind this dish) ;)

It's full of bold flavors. The tomatoes, basil, & parsley from my garden...and ripe greek olives, garlic, EVOO, capers, anchovies...I do not even cook my sauce..it marinates in a bowl on the counter for a n hour or so. Just cook up the pasta and toss...outrageous.

Me, too. There are so many stories behind dishes - I love reading about them as well as food culture and history. It makes ingredients even more exciting than they already are! :D

Simple:

Vichyssoise Soup with Pumpkinseed Oil (served hot as it is cool out)

Beet and Mustard Greens and Arugula Salad with Sheep Cheese, Roasted Garlic Lemon Vinaigrette, Toasted Almonds and Spicy Pepitas

exciting is one word. :lol: :lol:

should I "spill"??

the only caveat I have is....this sauce does not need to be cooked!! That ruins all the fresh flavors.

Like Imam Bayiildi - "the priest fainted" at the deliciousness of the eggplant dish :D I used to enjoy making that in my tomato-eating days.

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months.

      Absolutely my point with Kerrigan, the owner. She stood to secure many years of faithful patronage by simply inviting us in for a pastry or lunch. Or by simply producing another $50 e-card based on trust. We would have been highly satisfied. We are limited to a few restaurants in the area, and that would have been one. It was very disappointing, esp to my wife, to realize we can't patronize the place anymore.
    • trents
      You would think any business would see the wisdom of honoring a $50 gift certificate on the basis of customer satisfaction alone, apart from any questions about software glitches.
