The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat

[sa1937]

Pot roast

It's that kind of a day here....brrr

(Sylvia suggested it. thank you, Sylvia )

You're welcome! So was it good?

[Persei V.]

Boiled chicken wings.

Turns out I can't handle big meals and it just leaves me bloated for the rest of the day, so I'll refrain from eating a lot in one sitting.

Absurdly delicious. Thanks for the suggestion.

I used this:

I did not shred the meat or make mashed potatoes (just boiled new potatoes) and it was YUMSTERS!!!

yes, I used the red wine....

Big meals give my GERD a reason to act up, so you aren't alone

[CarolinaKip]

I've been so busy and tired! I'm keeping it simple Udis bread with canola mayo and sliced boiled eggs. Perhaps tomorrow I will cook!

[JNBunnie1]

Last night I made lasagna, and I used it on a man. It worked great!!! :lol:

One could interpret this two ways, Bunz.....in either case, Mazel Tov!

Streangely enough, the stomach bug from last week was exactly that I was eating a lot by lunch and getting bloated until the end of the day... Which wasn't so comfortable if I ate lunch leftovers for dinner.

Anyhow, tonight I plan to eat saut

Yes, but one interpretation sounds very messy!!

:lol:

In this case, it earned me a great deal of good will. That's all I meant. (for now...)

[shadowicewolf]

No idea what i'm going to do, it'll come to me.

[CarolinaKip]

Veggie nachos and lovely melted cheese with........A BIG glass of wine

[Persei V.]

Sweet potato chips and beef. Why didn't I buy sweet potato before? It's freaking delicious.

[shadowicewolf]

I'm burnt out from sweet potato...

at any rate, i'm having my usual soup of carrot, cabbage, and beef. At least its healthy for me right?

[Persei V.]

From what I could gather, there are several kinds of sweet potato. I used one whose skin is purple and the flesh is white/yellow-ish, not the orange flesh sweet potato. I couldn't find that one here... Maybe you could try new types out?

And for tonight, I'll have a chocolate cupcake (yaaay) with almond spread (double yaay) and a tiny slice of passionfruit cake. I just baked a lot of cakes and I won't have much time to eat them. I even made chocolate cake dough ice cream because there was a LOT of dough. That one I'm saving for later...

[shadowicewolf]

...please tell me there are no eggs in that dough

[Persei V.]

Four

At any case, I have a recipe for cake without eggs ready to go if they give me troubles.

[JNBunnie1]

I made a pot roast. It is the BEST one I've ever done!

I actually put green pepper in it by accident (long story)

and I think that makes the meat more tender or

something. Or it's just the best piece of meat I ever got.

Yum!

[JNBunnie1]

Raw egg is a risk, but it's a calculated risk. Cage free eggs are much safer, as well.

[Persei V.]

I got iffy with raw eggs at first as well, though my sister adds a raw egg to her smoothie every morning and never got ill from the brand we usually buy... Maybe I'll ask her to taste the ice cream first

Mine are indeed cage free, at least.

[shadowicewolf]

using your sister as a test subject. There is a risk of selmenela (sp fail) with raw eggs regardless of how its raised....or so i've heard..

When i was younger, however, i would eat raw cake batter, pancake batter, muffin mix, etc.... i shouldn't talk... i really shouldn't.... I've just recently broke the habit though............

ummm yes....

on another topic, my soup is cooking

[Adalaide]

I spent my whole weekend whining about how I was going to starve to death. I think I'm over my temper tantrum now that I've called a half a billion dairies and found milk.

Tonight was brown sugar baked acorn sqaush, fried potatoes with rosemary and honey balsalmic vinagrette chicken breasts with a nettle tea latte. Iodine? Who needs the crap?

[Adalaide]

Tonight is pulled pork on arepas. I'm sure I'll think of a vegetable between now and supper. Or mabye not, I don't really feel like cooking and I already have to make the arepas. They're made of corn, that counts as a vegetable right? I need to hit the store this afternoon and see if there is any milk left and maybe I'll just have a little tomato soup with dinner.

I guess I need to start planning ahead. The store only gets milk deliveries on Tuesdays so I can't exactly just run out for milk whenever it makes me happy. I'll have to just go buy 3 or 4 gallons at once. I can't touch the gallon I have until tomorrow, it's just about ready to skim so I can make butter.

[Persei V.]

Sweet potato chips and corn couscous. Tummy is incredibly upset... Really, I have to put in my head I can't eat too much of anything /head desk

[love2travel]

Just got back from our wonderful trip. The food was amazing as always.

Tonight I am having a big ol' helping of chili I made a few days ago. The cornbread I made will go very well with it - it contains corn, ham, scallions... So will the roasted cumin and lime sweet potato fries.
