The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat

[GF Lover]

Mais oui!

 

 

 

The accent was what you questioned? not if he wears a beret? (because what does the English speaking Easter bunny SAY, Coll? Do tell us. lmao 

 

Hey, my cat plays scrabble and wins...anything is possible, right? 

 

The visual that came to mind was the "Try-Out" Commercial for the role as the Cadbury Bunny.  Picture that big Lion roaring with a french accent.   C'est La Vie

Thanks Colleen!

 

I do the tealight in the cake all the time...so freaking simple and makes the cake look fantastic...first time ever was for my Bunco Pals Christmas Party...let me see if I can find.

 

here it is:  https://scontent-a-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash2/t1.0-9/380824_10150616657148574_1450736359_n.webp

 

and this is why nobody ever complains about eating completely gluten-free in my home

 

ps...had mom make a wish on last night's candle even tho not her birthday -- told her i made it for her so the wishes counted regardless of the date

That cake is beyond cool, baby! LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! I want some! I want some! (but NO peeps...blech!!)

but what does the Easter bunny say with that French accent on Easter morning.... That remains a mystery for us all. lmao ....perhaps

 

"Voulez des oeufs avec ce jambon?"

lol...everyone ate the peep...except Mom, who asked me with the cutest face "Do I have to eat the Peep?"  I think I found where my dislike of the little dudes started

[Adalaide]

Tonight will be pork tenderloin and (to steal from Lisa) stuff. I was going to make it tomorrow but through some sort of super weird magical thawing voodoo it is ready to be cooked today. I'm not sure how. But I'll take it!

 

It's okay that some of your family doesn't like Peeps. I eat enough every year for at least 5 or 6 people.

Thanks Jamie..I think I do...Will have to check hubs cell as he was the unofficial photog for the evening.

 

Can't believe I found a piece in the frig waiting for son that missed encores last night:

For Easter we grilled steak, had a sort of garlic mashed potato and salad.  Chocolate pudding pie on a pre-made graham cracker crust!  MI-Del makes gluten-free pie crusts.  I saw graham cracker and chocolate cookie.  I make the chocolate cookie one but the pre-made costs the same as the bag of cookies to make it and it sticks together better.  And of course, convenience.  It tasted good, too.  Hub said no one would know.  

[Adalaide]

I'm finally feeling much more like a human today. Getting some things done around the house that I let go all weekend. (Like my husband's laundry. ) But still taking it easy and letting it happen at whatever pace it gets done at. It's laundry, if it doesn't get done it'll still be dirty and waiting tomorrow. No big deal.

 

Dinner will be leftover pork. I think I'll make puffs tonight because I didn't last night and they sound fun today. And veggie something of course, there's a freezer full of choices, I just have to pick something. I keep wanting more carrots but pretty soon I'm either going to turn into a carrot or run out.

 

I love the convenience of pre-made graham cracker or cookie crusts. I always hated making those things. I'm all for homemade stuff but those are just the worst to make.

le jambon has given me swollen eyelids and a headache (and I am too tired to parlez that en francaise. )

 

Stoopid jambon.      That bone will make a yummy pea soup for J tomorrow. 

 

Mother has returned to Boston and as sad as I am to see her depart, it will be good to have spices, herbs, onions, garlic back in the repertoire.

 

I think she adopted me from Julia Child. (what? it coulda happened. )

 

Dinner tonight is take out from PF Changs because THIS girl is tres fatigue. 

[GottaSki]

I've got a jambon up for grabs...we dislike split pea soup very much...cracks me up...Mom had made Split Pea every year after Easter so I always gave her the bone and a pea soup mix I got up at a Country Store in Julian -- as she became -- shall we say more honest as her health has declined I found out she hates pea soup as much as me...but Dad and Sis love it so she never let on.  I asked Dad if he wanted the ham bone so he could make his own soup...he declined

 

Enjoy your night out Irish!

 

Son took me to see the movie 'Bears' -- I was so excited I almost had a temper tantrum when he was trying to oversleep today.  Told him he did not want to see what 48 year old's temper tantrum looks like -- lol -- he was up and ready in minutes

 

Dinner is enchiladas again cuz I made too much sauce last time -- oops.  Will put different veggies with left over chicken breast meat from last night.

 

Happy Earth Day Dinner Peeps

[kareng]

Last night I made some brown rice with shredded carrots and a packet of chicken bouillon.  Then I added the 2 partial packs of frozen corn in the freezer, 1 can of black beans, 1 can of pintos, a jar of salsa a little water to rinse out the salsa jar & covered with a little cheese.  Hub wasn't thrilled with it but then he started eating it,  and loved it!  Ate all left-overs I was counting on!  

[GF Lover]

Today's meatloaf will become tomorrow's sloppy jo's  

 

Colleen

 

p.s. Le jambon had my nose running like a freakin faucet yesterday.

We are jambom-intolerant, toots!  argh

 

(although UNCURED ham --or any uncured meats. like bacon, etc.--does not bother me...Ergo, it's the crap they put in it)

 

I love to use "ergo" . 

[GottaSki]

Have a bit of a stressed out system today, so gonna make this for dinner (with a couple minor adjustments):

Wow, that looks really good!!  I have gotten into sneaking veggies into things and feeding them to my husband but I think if I gave him a green soup he would make me sleep on the couch... haha.  I would dig in to it, though.  

 

Last night I made pizza, yum yum yum.  Used the premade crusts I ordered, not bad.

My men will eat a small portion...along side their steak and taters

[Adalaide]

That soup looks fabulous! I'll have to give it a go soon. Next soup on my list though is French onion soup. I can't wait. This weekend maybe.

 

I stretched myself a tad too thin today cutting fabric for heating pads and lining. Got killer muscle cramps in my legs and could barely walk back down the stairs. Lucky me, I have some handy heating pads! Farmers market starts in 6 Saturdays so I need to be in high gear, just maybe not quite that high.

 

I think after my mishap I'll just throw burgers on the indoor grill and do oven fries. Ore-Ida has these new "simply" potatoes that don't have weird ingredients and I picked up a bag. I don't remember what kind but I'm sure they'll come out tasting like an actual potato since they have a short list of ingredients that can actually be pronounced by most humans. I figured I can at least give them a try and I'm glad today to have them in the freezer.

[IrishHeart]

Addy, Those Ore Ida simply sea salt fries--awesome in a pinch! enjoy

Mom and Aunt Jane both got their heat packs and their necks love them. 

I have been using two non stop. lol

 

I am not feeling well at all, so J made me a pancake. He's very good at those. 

 

He got us a brand new BBQ today. We need so many other things (gutters, overhead fans, etc.) but he said "we need a grill".

 

okay, lol Can't argue with that. It has a pizza stone included. So, how could I say no? 

 

I have missed grilled burgers, so yaay!

J has his priorities in the right place - on all counts --  just saying

 

and the hubs just called dinner bell and my b%$@#in' soup will be made in the morning...I'm busy watching James Tiberius Kirk kick ass

Sometimes, it is best to just let them take over for the day.  I watched a boatload of movies and TV shows today and I suspect

all will be better tomorrow.

 

PS to Arlene....hang in there dollface. You're gonna be hungry tomorrow afternoon.  I'd start with a big honkin bowl of gelato. 

[LauraTX]

Dinner tonight.. may not happen.  Because I just baked a Betty Crockers gluten-free devils food cake mix and I have a tub of icing waiting to go in when it is cool enough.  Hmmm, I guess I will whip up a little bit of real food but I am definitely leaving room for cake!  (By the way for those who wonder why I post my dinners so late- I cook for when hubby gets home from work which can be pretty late)

 

This weekend I am getting a free gluten-free meal at one of my favorite local places, they had a Facebook contest where you comment on a picture and holy guacamole I actually won this time!  So a free entree to the place we were already planning to go to on our Saturday date, can't beat that!
