The What's For Dinner Tonight Chat

[cahill]

gluten-free pasta with butter and parm cheese!

YUM!

This sounds marvelous today . I need to check my supplys

[Adalaide]

How about while we are on vacation soon? Then when we get back you will be settled nicely and can have a lovely meal waiting for us.

Not exactly what I had in mind.

Most dental work, had an extraction yesterday. (FUN!!!) I picked up some of that Bob's Red Mill hot cereal which is pretty good doctored up. I've been adding baby food bananas and caramel sauce. Instead of some prepackaged junk though tonight I'm getting all adventurous and making my own caramel sauce. I wonder how many pounds of sugar it'll take to get it right.

Just take it slow and add whiskey or bourbon.

Or skip the caramel and go straight to the whiskey or bourbon...

I just cooked sticky rice topped it with my own sweet and sour chicken. I took a rotisserie chicken and pulled the meat off the bone, put it all in a pan, a can of pineapple, and a can of water chestnuts, Topped it off with gluten free sweet and sour sauce. Heated it until it simmers.

[Jestgar]

Chicken soup, in the crockpot.

We are getting a bit of snow today and there is some in the forecast for tonight so again I am making comfort food:

Meatloaf with Red Wine Glaze

Creamy Mashed Potatoes with Caramelized Shallots and Mustard Seeds

Saffron Glazed Carrots

I am still recovering from a food reaction earlier this week so I am still eating my SAFEST meal.

Ground lamb and rice.

We had pizza with smoked duck, onion and greek olives. It should have been good, but we smoked the duck with orange sauce and it made for a really wierd taste combo.

Dear Wigglebutts (dog) was extraordinarily pleased because once we started picking the duck off, the pizza tasted good, and she LOVES duck.

So we had Friday pizza night with an ecstatic Wigglebutt. (Not her real name, but should have been.) At the end of the day, I can't ask for more than that. It was worth weird pizza. She felt like a slum dog millionare according to DP. (Wigglebutts is a rescue.) I'm still not sure who rescued who. She really helps the happiness factor. I would have been distraught that my pizza was a failure before I got Wigglebutts. Now we're all going to bed happy.

Chopped off a piece of right (dominant) thumb yesterday on my mandoline so am not cooking. DANG IT! Amazing how much we take our thumbs for granted. Makes things tricky (like this typing which is taking ages).

I hope that heals up quick for you. My husband is paranoid about my mandolin and is convinced I'm going to eventually cut something off with it. Sounds to me like a perfectly good reason to eat out for a few days.

I'm surprised I haven't done it before! Anyway, there are no safe places to eat out. We tried one last night but the employees had no clue about celiac, gluten, allergies, etc. so we just returned home. Then we go on vacation Wednesday!

Hey- tell us where you live, we'll find a place!

Our small town literally has only fast-food places. That is it. We drive 3 hours to the city when we want to eat out at great high-end places. Thankfully I love to cook so it is rarely an issue.

I hope your finger heals really quickly! And have a wonderful vacation.

Tonight I am making ribs, baked potatoes and cole slaw from the Gluten Free Goddess Snappy Crunchy Cole Slaw with no mayo

[love2travel]

Having trouble with my thumb that I sliced a chunk from so we are having:

- leftover meat loaf with red wine glaze

- baked potatoes with lemon chive butter

- minted peas

- strawberries with balsamic

[love2travel]

I hope your finger heals really quickly! And have a wonderful vacation.

Thanks lots on both counts!

I am sooo wishing it was summer. Had flurries yesterday

Ribs, corn on the cob, Mexican bean salad and turnip/rutabaga and green apple salad. Raspberry sorbet for dessert. Oh and can't forget the beer.

I have three 9 year old boys in my house. We are eating whatever I find in the freezer since I can't get rid of the two that aren't mine. Hubs is on the golf course in 100 degree heat so there's no relief (or trip to the store) in sight.

I just fed them the last of the retried beans and corn tortillas. They'll be chewing on my ankle next.

I've got to get a new plan for boys that are rapidly getting bigger than me.

Lol! I got a kick out of your post, prickly. My mom always fed us pancakes. My brothers would eat over 10 of them. One is 6'6", the other is 6'2. We're in our 50's now, but that brought back some good memories. We all loved split pea soup with ham or sausage too. She made huge pots of pea soup. That's a love or hate thing though.

DP smoked a chicken today, just the way I like it. No sauce. Just mesquite chips and coal.

We had that with Greek salad and Glutino parmesan garlic bagel chips. WalMart is carrying them! Stonyfield Chocolate ice cream for desert.

Yesterday he smoked spare ribs I'd marinated overnight in papaya, cinnamon and brown sugar, then gave him a mop sauce of organic apple cider vinegar, minced jalopeno pepper, parprika and water, reduced. I had roasted root vegetable salad, he had supermarket potato salad. The ribs were fabulous!

[sora]

Beef and broccoli with basmati rice.

[Adalaide]

Grilled a trout and some corn on the cob tonight. For some really stupid reason I can't fathom I touched the foil and have a rather large and painful blister right on the end of my right index finger.

[alex11602]

Tonight I'm making carmelized onion meatloaf, it will be the first time for me making meatloaf since going gluten free and the first time the my 2 year old will ever have it so I am hoping that she likes it (fingers crossed).
