Ok everybody, share what's for dinner.
Sandwiches with mayo, lettuce, cheese, ham and fried eggs. I love egg sandwiches.
It is a mystery. My work said they'd provide "something" because the cafeteria is closed today.
I threw a small pork roast in the crock pot with some onion and garlic and a beer. We'll either shred it and add bbq sauce or I'll throw some potatoes in the oven to bake and steam something green...
Diner will be fruit, peanut butter, ice cream, and whatever else seems good to toss in the blender, I'm going to be out late at practice.
Probably either boxed soup (which I will dress up with onions and such) or boxed Indian food (because Trader Joe's does surprisingly well in that department and I'm lazy).
Hot dogs with sauteed onions and mustard on whole wheat.
Spicy Bacon Tomato Pasta
Dinner?
Oh, that food type thing I may or may not be having depending on how busy work is.

I always had trouble finding an appetite after working in a restaurant all day, looking at and smelling nothing but food.......never could eat after that.
Tonight will be beer and Pizza.
I actually should grab something on the way in, less I die in the middle of the Friday dinner rush.
Might pop open a can of fruit, have a PB&J, munch on some carrots, glass of store brand V-8... fuck yeah being a college student without the meal plan! :lol: I'm unintentionally turning vegetarian.
Eh, it's Friday, beer and pizza here too.
Well rootbeer that is :lulz:

Same, I think the only meat I've eaten in the past week is bacon.
A friend of mine grilled me some chicken and topped it with chimichurri. It was a very pleasant surprise.
Dinner:
Salmon burger. Salad. Giant peanut butter cookie with chocolate chips.
I eat a lot of cookies.
Tonight's meal provided by Panda Express, since the kitchen is still closed. It was bland. :|
That's why you should carry sriracca around with you at all times.
Tonight I will be having maybe some grilled chicken if it has defrosted, a potato salad with spring onions, bacon, spinach, cheese and wholegrain mustard Mayo.
Also I have a spinach salad with mozzarella, tomatoes, salami and a pesto/balsamic dressing.
I have been trying to use up all my fresh food and practise my salad fu for next weekend, and I have a tendency to make stuff in bulk cos if I get down and can't be fucked to cook I already batched a load of stuff up on a better day previously.
Gets repetitive but beats starving.
Old Chicago.
I'm making a bunch of pizzas for a party tonight. It's a Walt Curtis benefit.
His house burned down.
Never heard of him until I heard I had to make 20 pizzas.
I'm eating pizza tonight.
A sammich from Panera, their amazing chips, and a soda. Wrecking my diet, but delicious!
I didn't do the pot roast yesterday, so I'm doing it today.
Starting with about a 3-lb roast, I salted and peppered it, then dredged it in flour and browned both sides in a cast-iron skillet and plenty of oil. Chopped an onion and put it in the bottom of a small dutch oven, poured in some wine and a bit of broth, added sprigs of parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. (Yes, they really are perfect accompaniments for roast beef; there's a reason they're traditional!) stuck the roast in, covered it, and it's in the oven at 300 for three hours. Easiest recipe ever! Garlic mashed potatoes and roasted broccoli forthwith.
My blood sugar dropped before I went shopping so I walked out of whole foods with:
turkey meatloaf
tiny container of curry chicken salad, potato salad
red pepper jelly
brie
4 yr gouda
a wad of parm-regg
some weird chev i can't pronunce
a soda
mixed olives from the bar
My husband asked if I was stoned. :sad:
It really looked like I could have been from my selection.
cheese and olives were good though, specially with the jelly.
the other stuff sucked bad.

That sounds pretty fantastic.
I had a 5-course chef's menu, of which two and a half courses were good, and a $150 bottle of wine, which kind of freaked me out.
Luckily, daddy paid.
Due to the heat I will be preparing salads for dinner. Sliced grilled chicken and some nice cheese on top.
It's too damn hot to grill out or eat a heavy meal.
I dressed up all the boxed soup I had yesterday with garlic, chilli oil, and some herbs and I'm going to eat that! So red pepper soup and French bread] crackers for teh dinners.
More pizza tonight. Because, even though I spent hours making pizza after pizza last night, 18 in all, our fridge is still dominated with unused toppings.
Sigmatic,
on the bullet train to fat city.
I went to FBF's house and we made penne with garlic, tomatoes, basil, oregano, sausage, goat cheese, and spinach. I wanted to put in an avocado but they weren't ripe. :(
Note: Pizza dough made with session lager is interestingly flaky crusted.
Just lager, or did you use a mix of lager and water?
Just lager.
And a heap of molasses.
Red curry chicken.
Tacos!
Some kind of mystery dish with fresh picked morel mushrooms in it.
I feel like an Iron Chef judge.

For lunch today, I'm having beer.
For dinner today, I will be having beer.
Turkey Tacos
I want pizza. But I do have beer.
I'm doing steamers tonight. Corn, potatoes, shrimp and fish in the basket steamed with white wine. Micro salad on the side, I grew the greens and they are gorgeous. Mustard, kale and pea shoots... mmmmm
OK I'm hungry now....
you must mean something else than what "steamers" mean on the east coast, unless the mississippi river is suddenly populated with clams?
bell peppers, zuccini, onion and garlic, stir-fried with some sour cream and "moroccan spices" my parents brought from their trip to morocco. served with rice cooked in kurkuma (yellow-root) and a "valess schnitzel" [valess is the best meat substitute I know, it actually manages to taste and feel like chicken].
i cut up everything, mixed the onion and garlic and chilli pepper with olive oil in the pan, covered it, and now waiting for my gf to come home.

I couldn't find any nice looking (or smelling) clams. I am stopping on the way home to see if they got in any fresh ones or if the mussels came in. So no, not a NE steamer, just my home kitchen version....
And just for the record, I wouldn't eat anything from the Mississippi River for love nor money... The oily part of the gulf is cleaner than that river, it is gross and it stinks really really bad in the summer. EWWWW.
Florida "Steamers" are corn, potatoes, stone crab claws, shrimp, either grouper or red fish, sometimes you'll see other shellfish, but usually no, and they will add something tropical, mango, pineapple, chilis etc.... Starfruit adds an odd flavor, I don't recommend it! :lulz:
ahh...so "steamer" is the name of the dish itself in this instance? It sounds delicious whatever you call it. In New England, "steamer" refers to a specific type of clam, or to the thing you leave in the sink in the upstairs bathroom during the party at some guy's house who you don't really like that much.
I don't really care much for steamers (the clam), so I think I'll adopt your version for the sake of confusing people.

I think Suu, being from FLA, is probably referring to stone crab claws. Stone crab claws are delicious, but they harvest them by ripping the claw off of the crab and throwing the crab back, since it will grow a new claw.

If the chickens don't completely destroy my spinach, I'm making lemon curry lentils with spinach, and then also something as-yet-undetermined with salmon.
Ohhh or I might do roasted cauliflower and zucchini tossed in ziti with baked salmon and a lemon-garlic butter sauce.
Bacon ranch turkey breast tenderloin, broccoli au gratin rice.
Thai food of some kind.
Cheesecake, apparently. Even though I'm supposed to cook it for 10 minutes at 550 (its max range) but my thermometer proves that my oven is always 50 degrees below what it says it is...I guess we'll see how it goes.
OH BALLS it was still hot enough to singe the top :(
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I should have stayed in front of the oven and MADE SURE that when I turned it down to 200 it actually went to 200. Just checked and the thermometer was at 350, and the top of the cake was very very brown. I HATE MY STOVE. FUCK ELECTRIC.
Tonight we're going out for fondue.

I just made the same mistake with a pizza the other night.
Luckily pizza is fairly eatable even when it's browned. Did a number on the roof of our mouths though.
Our oven sucks too. Is from the 50's I think.
That's odd. Our oven's from around then too and it rules for pizza.
Try baking the pizza in cast iron. It regulates heat pretty evenly, and your dough will never once stick to the pan.
Just be sure to pre heat the pan before you put the pizza in.
Our knobs are falling off, I think it might have something to do with that.
I'll keep my eyes peeled for a cheap but gigantic cast iron pan.
I got a 12" skillet at Freddy's for $20 a while back.
It makes fairly small pizzas, but I like it.
Believe it or not, the best place to get a cheap cast iron skillet is... Wal Mart.
I know, I know. I'd rather put both my hands into a meat grinder than go into that store as well, but I got a 16" lodge skillet for some 20 bucks or so.
Also the fondue went well.
Nobody lost an eye, got stabbed in the hand or destroyed their flesh with molten cheese and/or chocolate.
It was filling. I'm not gonna say it was delicious cause well, it's fucking fondue, from a restaurant, so meh.

Tonight's menu is what I can bum off of my aunt and uncle upstairs, since I can't drive myself out to buy dinner anymore. :x
salad :sad:
A mini buffet thing of pickles, cheese, crackers, and olives. And then a diet-destroying dessert of brownies with ganache and vanilla ice cream.
My girl-posse took me out and fed me. I ate more cheese than was necessarily a good idea. :sad:
Last night was grilled Rib Eye with cumin, and an arugala salad with radish. tomatoes and grilled scapes (green garlic).

I bought unfinished tile to use for baking. I can keep them stacked when not in use and spread out however many I need when I do use them. They work really well. Saw them do that on an old "Baking with Julia" episode :lulz:
Are they useful?
I've only seem them used for pizza.
They re-radiate heat in an even manner. It helps if your oven has "hot spots" or if it heats unevenly.
I see, makes sense.
Oh, also for dinner I had chicken schnitzel and chips (or "fries" if you prefer).

This kind of because I don't know if my oven has hot spots, since I started using the tiles I use them all the time for baking. While everything I bake may not turn out to taste the way I wanted it sure as hell is pretty :wink:
Seriously though, I wouldn't bake without them.

You should put a sprinkle of cornmeal on the stone to prevent sticking. After a while it will "season" kind of like a cast iron pan and will be pretty much non-stick.

Oh shit I have to think about it
I chopped an onion and browned it with some red peppers in butter, then added chicken stock and red lentils. I dumped in some yellow indian curry powder and salt, tasted, more salt. Simmered for a bit until kind of porridge-consistency, added chopped cauliflower and spinach and juice from a whole lemon. Turned off the heat and let the heat from the lentils steam the vegetables.
The rice: add a bit of garlic, salt, turmeric, and fennel seeds to the water, add basmati rice, bring up to temp. steam for 15 minutes then turn off and let sit 15 more. Now the curry is ready to serve over the rice; eat eat eat!
Oh, it's very mild, which I do for the youngest, non-spice-tolerating child. The rest of us add crushed chilies on top before eating.
ah
Too hot for cookin tonight so we'll be getting dinner at Sam's Italian Sandwich Shop.
I'm sorry all my measurements are "some". I was shown how to make it using the "some" method, and I rarely measure anything. Next time I make it I'll pay attention to proportions and work out an actual recipe!

My housemate said it was the best homemade curry he's ever had. He has yet to experience my cooking in depth, though.
I also cook by the some method.
There's also a smidge, a wee bit, a lot, a little-bit-o-lot, a pinch, a palmful, and so on
YES!!!

please to give up your recipe
Oh shit I have to think about it
I chopped an onion and browned it with some red peppers in butter, then added chicken stock and red lentils. I dumped in some yellow indian curry powder and salt, tasted, more salt. Simmered for a bit until kind of porridge-consistency, added chopped cauliflower and spinach and juice from a whole lemon. Turned off the heat and let the heat from the lentils steam the vegetables.
The rice: add a bit of garlic, salt, turmeric, and fennel seeds to the water, add basmati rice, bring up to temp. steam for 15 minutes then turn off and let sit 15 more. Now the curry is ready to serve over the rice; eat eat eat!
My husband makes this dish, very similar to yours. I'll have to ask him what variations he makes from your recipe.
I'm thinking tonight'll be fish tacos. I'll find out when my husband's getting home from visiting his dad and see if we can fry some fish up. He loves that above all, and it's a good Dad's Day Dish.
(...plus I'm sorta craving Mexican food...)
Steak tonight for our anniversary dinner. Friday night we went to the Three Fires Restaurant in the casino. I had fillet and Mrs. Haw has prime rib. I has a side if sweet potato mash that was directly from heaven. Mrs. Hawk had green chili mac n cheese. Our other side was a house salad. We also had a bottle of La Crema Pinot Noir wine. The meal was indeed top drawer all the way and the wine was fabulous.
Wine - $45.00
Meal - $42.95
Tip - $25.00
Time with Mrs. Hawk - Priceless.
BLTs!
sik sik wat. yum.

Shrimp cocktail
Ground beef somehow (haven't decided...probalby meatballs?)
something to go with the beef that's starchy (pasta or potatoes)
salad
...having family over, and I've not got the main course nailed down yet...
More fucking popsicles, probably. :argh!: I WANT REAL FOOD PLEASE!

Linguica motherfucks.
Tonight we had salad wrapped up in a fucking orange tortilla shell.
He called it a "wrap".
KILL ME!!
:lol: Those wraps really ARE mostly salad. :lol:
For tonight, I think I'll convince my husband to make Afghan food of some sort. If I can. I'm not inspired though I have a huge log of ground beef defrosted...I have to get rid of these kids and then I can think straight.
I'll probably go get some meat and have steak and green beans.

Oh, Jenne! I just remembered this awesome thing I used to do with ground beef. I'ma go post the recipe...
Afghan food is awesome. I had some at my friend's graduation party and I keep meaning to go look up recipes for it.
Curried lentil soup, most likely. Or possibly left over pancakes.
An apple, a granola bar, a tiny can of low sodium v-8, water, 2 slices of tomato w/ salt n pepper, a 1.5 oz. bag of nuts. :|
I didn't make dinner, so my family didn't get to eat.
:sad:
On the other hand, they're capable adults, so they should feed themselves goddamit.
burritos of some sort...
salad with mixed lettuce, tomatoes, cottage cheese, chicken and toasted pine nuts, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seed., with some pitta bread.
Slow cooked romano beans, polenta with fresh corn, and steak with mojo sauce.
Nom!
Hamburgers and corn on the cob.
PASTA PASTA PASTA...at a great restaurant that actually has a decent lambrusco (shut up, I like it once in a while, and it's SUMMERTIME!), and a kick ass TIRAMISU!
FUCKITALL, it's mah BIRFDAY!
Happy Birfday Jenne!!
Tonight I'm having Nigel's Spaggoty sauce with meatballs.
Pimento olives. Possibly spaghetti noodles and butter later.
Thanks, Rumckle! Death by pasta was awesomesauce!
Tonight we had hamburgers.
Dude took two patties, and shaped them together around cheese.
Cheese filled hamburger. Fried onions.
It was way bigger than my brain.
Miso, Buckwheat noodles, with steamed River Cobbler, yellow pepper and broccoli. :fap:

I'm having juice. I might get crazy and have some broth, too!
Last night was penne and meat sauce. I seasoned the meat with red pepper and a touch of cinamon, it really picked the flavor up.
Nime Chow and tofu Pad Thai.
I feel remarkably appalled and proud of myself at the same time.
Ravioli thingies from Costco, probably with butter and salt and pepper.
Addendum: Okay, tofu is amazing. I need to learn how to cook it.
Also: I forgot to mention I got 2 Thai hot. :oops: The spirit, it moves within. Woof.
I'm giving the kids beans and cheese. That's it. Damned if I'm cooking anything.
I had some chips and ketchoney earlier. I'm trying to get rid of the tempatation I bought before I resolved to be more strict with my diet.

Deeeeelicious
charcoal grilled salmon and tabouli. Fuck this juice bullshit.
A peach, a plum, and a handful of spice drops.
beer.
more specifically blanche du bruxelles.
it's ok but it's no fried chicken.
Somewhere around 4 in the afternoon I remembered that I have a metabolism which requires food, and that my appetite has apparently taken its summer vacation without me. The microwaveable bowl of noodles I bought from the supermarket probably barely overtook the amount of calories I burnt biking there and back.

No, that would defeat the purpose of being on a tomato diet for to lose weight. Sounds tasty though.
Whatever my wife does to the chicken I left out for dinner.
If you left chicken out, I think you'll be getting a plate full of bacteria tonight.
Doesn't that make a good rub?
No, I put it in the fridge. I used to be able to just leave things out when the wifey came home at lunch. She doesn't come home at lunch anymore.

I don't see why not. I'd jsut add it in later in cookign to steam gently in the rice, so it's still a bit crisp, or sautee it first maybe.
Garlic and parmesan quinoa, turkey croquettes and spinach salad. Also experimenting with using some of the turkey mixture to make a Scotch egg.
Grilled burger topped with provolone, bacon, a woffer theen slice of tomato and sauteed onions and mushrooms in a balsamic reduction. Sides include- grilled corn and thick sliced roasted taters with malt vinegar.
I forgot how much I like cooking and how much I like home food.
We've been eating at restaurants on the weekends. Why.
I just realized nobody even made funeral potatoes today
WTF
I might as well hand in my Mormon chip now. :x
PORK SHOULDER
cooked in the oven this time instead of the smoker.

last night I made an awesome shish kebab, with ground spiced meat packed around skewers, and a salad made of roast fennel, onion, tomato, cucumbers, olives, and feta.
I think I need to buy a food truck and roll around town cooking and selling stuff to people.
Yesterday Mrs WHN and I went to this restaurant in Freeport called Azure. I had the Azure burger featuring bacon and Gorgonzola cheese crumbles. The bun was homemade and was also fantastically yummy. So, if you're ever in Freeport, Maine. I highly recommend the place.

The beer dough is great. Unfortunately, we were out of olive oil and had to use vegetable oil. Kinda ruined the flavor a bit. We also mix in some minced, dried garlic with the sauce. Adds a nice touch.
I just got an order of 8 HUGE steamed dumplings from my local Chinese hole-in-the-wall for 5 bucks.
I'm 90% sure it's beef and not pork though...oh well, work should be interesting later.

I do love tikka masala though. I love it deeply.
Burrito, sort of. I was too lazy to heat up some beans, so tortilla with hot sauce, onions, chilles, and cheese.

I just found out that putting frozen salmon filet in a bowl with brine and nuking it for 2 minutes at 800W in the microwave (YEAH I FUCKING BOUGHT A MICROWAVE TWO WEEKS AGO AND I'M SRSLY LOVIGN THE FUCK OUT OF IT SUCH A BRILLIANT MACHINE TO EASILY MAKE THINGS WARM WITHOUT BURNING THEM WHOOOOOOO) ... that that is too much and my salmon is now slightly cooked. I was just trying to speed up the defrosting a bit. Next time I'll just do one minute and let it sit for a while. After all it needs to soak up the brine too.
Pork tenderloin, corn on the cob, steamed broccolli, and a delicious bottle of chilled white wine.
Cheap beer and liquor, and EXTREMELY well executed grilled meats. While dressed as superheroes.
Mild depression.
A mini banana-chocolate muffin and a chicken patty.
The leftover coconut vegetable curry from last night.
I had an amazing Red Fox burger and three shots of bourbon.
This is my last bourbon for a while; me, my FBF, and Mr. Language are giving up drinking for September, except for the two benefits we're attending this month. MAYBE the screening party, too, if it will make it more tolerable. I won't tell you about the screening yet; I will only say that it sounds horrific beyond belief.

This wasn't tonight, it was Friday. Anniversary.
Went to Menton, a new place in Boston. It was the single most elegant and refined meal of my life. Seven-course chef's tasting menu. Each dish, each bite, had complex layers of flavor, and the wine evolved over the course of the night, matching the dishes perfectly.
At the end of the night, the check came to $700. For two people.

Hotter than hell here, so maybe taco salad.
I can't believe I'm saying this but.....
YAY it's getting chilly and staying that way soooooo.....
White bean and smoked turkey chili. I went a bit overboard and instead of my normal couple of roasted poblanos, I also added a couple of beautiful little habeneros that were just crying out to be eaten....
All bubbling away in my crockpot waiting for me to get home and NOM NOM NOM
Yeah, part of why I'm looking forward to the cold is so I can make warming foods, like split pea soup with roast ham. Or pot roast. Or chili.
Miss them so much. :cry:

Probably pan-fried onions and tomatoes, possibly with bread crumbs. If I can swipe a slice of beef off my roommates, that too.
I ended up with white roughy stewed with tomatoes and potatoes in green chili, served with rice and tortillas.
MMM
borscht borscht borscht (made with beetroots from the garden!)

Chicken, roasted. Potatoes, baked. Salad, not sure which kind yet.
I am unoriginal when it comes to cooking so from now on I'm outsourcing all my meal plans to emealz.
I should really contribute more here, as I love to cook.
my girl loves that I love to cook, because she hates it. =/
tonight is goat cheese and herb stuffed chicken breast, pan cooked.
heavy cream sauce with minced garlic and chopped sun dried tomatoes.
seasoned and roasted asparagus.
baby red potatoes, cut in half and covered in a butter and rosemary sauce, then baked until they fall apart.
Don't know what I'm making tonight... possibly eating out? I have a cold and I don't feel like doing anything. :(
Ramen, most likely.
I have a very small roast marinating in pinot with some Italian spices. I will add it to Fettuccini Alfredo along with some broccoli.
Pan seared pork and sage leaves with chili-roasted broccoli.
I have some left over Mesir Wat from the a couple of days ago, and some left over greek meatballs from last night, so probably one (or both) of those.
Three small tomatoes from my garden, grated mozzarella, salt, pepper, and oregano. And a glass of pepsi.
I had some "kimchi flavor" ramen last night, but I put actual kimchi in it so as to not hate myself.
Breakfast is a cup of skyr, or Icelandic-style yogurt. Basically it's regular yogurt, but with more water strained out and made with less sweetening. Sits in the stomach like a cultured brick.
Chicken breast roasted in seasoned panko crumbs and garlic, served over white rice, with salad of whatever's in the fridge.
Tonight I don't know what I'll be having. Probaly tomato sammich.
Might have a lassi, though.
Chilli, one of the best I've made :fap:
Last night I cut up a watermelon and a cantaloupe for dinner. Dessert was fresh strawberries dipped in dark chocolate.
Delicious.

Spicy goodness for teh win. there is plenty of it to last us till tomorrow too.
Roquefort crusted cow's milk cheese, a freshly baked loaf of bread, and a bottle of Bordeaux.

Well, I was making pizza, but after I made dough I found out that the fucking oven's broken.
WHAT DO
Well, I don't have an oven, but the other day I tried making a calzone in a pan and it kinda worked.
Just roll the dough out, put it in a hot pan. Flip it after a couple of minutes, and put your toppings on it.
Then flip it in half and cook both sides.
The trick is not cooking it too much before you flip it in half.
Fuck, shoulda done that.
Instead I just went and bought demi-baguettes, cheap steak, and beer.
Go team Discordian Recipes! :lulz:
rolling rock

late nite informercials
baked chicken alfredo lasagna rolls.

and beer. lots of beer.

I think I'm going to get some onion rolls and make pulled pork sandwiches.
Chicken noodles.
Basically, boil a whole bunch of leg and thighs, pick the meat off them, toss in some salt, pepper, onion and a whole bunch of egg noodles. Extra points for homemade noodles. Put the meat back in and cook the noodles.
It's almost like a casserole when finished.

We had egg rolls and spaghetti-o's.
Neither of us felt like cooking.

The pot roast w/veggies we had for dinner last night has been recycled by Liam into beef curry.
I'm making saffron rice to go with it, and we have sugar cookies for dessert.
Steak and Acai juice.
The pot roast that turned into beef curry has now officially turned into scouse. And since scouse is magic and expands faster than you can eat it, we'll either have to freeze the rest or eat it indefinitely.
That's what I made out of my husband's korma from Sunday night, Bella. I added a bit of mashed potato mixture on top, though, for more of a shepherd's pie feel. We have a LOT leftover still!
Korma rocks!
We bought a new stock pot yesterday, so tonight's dinner is vegetable beef soup w/fire-roasted tomatoes. Fresh rolls from bakery to go with it.
Tonight is spaghetti with meat sauce and an apple spice cake for dessert.
Shrimp and Shell pasta in a white wine reduction basil garlic red bell pepper shallot cream sauce.

BURGERS. Because they are cheap + easy and we have a shitload of shit to do tonight.
I was going for a simmer meal for this weekend but the weatherman has said the temps will be in the 60's. So we're grillin and chillin. Grilled chicken and veggies!!!
(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a356/theonlyang/Mobile%20Uploads/Image0648.jpg)
Grilled cheese made from wheat bread and Kraft singles with Campbell's condensed tomato soup.
I'm so American, I shit bricks of sodium.
I am suddenly urgently, perhaps catastrophically hungry. I am not sure if I can get to the store (my balance seems to still be all fucked up and I keep tipping over hilariously when I try to walk) but I am pretty sure I still have some stale white bread and a piece of cheese. GONNA MAKE ME A SAMMICH.
I desperately want curry, though.
:(
I think it'll either be TV dinner Indian food or some sort of soup. Possibly lentil soup.
I like Suu's dinner. I am thinking some cream of mushroom and toasted cheese sammiches. We have cheddar and provolone. And Italian bread. Mmmm.

That's what I did last weekend when I woke up with some kind of stomach bug from hell and had to endure an entire day of being outside in the snow so I ended up with a head cold from hell. I was kinda loopy for a day. but yogurt is good.

Katsu curry! :mrgreen:

katsu curry was a success! i did make it from a kit tho, bu sweet curry sauce crispy breaded chicken and sticky rice is a awesome combo.

Actually yeah...so is it boneless chicken breast? And you bake it in a Pyrex or something? I should try this.
We're making turkey-and-green-bean casserole, sorta on a variation of most any recipe you find online with that in it. Except we don't have the condensed mushroom soup, so we're "wingin'" that part of it.

Yeah, it's the easiest thing ever. You can leave the breasts whole but I prefer them cubed, and you just literally mix the chicken with some condensed cream of ____ soup (about one can per large breast), put it in a casserole dish (Pyrex is fine) and bake at 350 for about 30-40 minutes, depending on how big it is. I'd say half an hour for one breast, 40 minutes for two. While it's baking you make your white rice and any veggies you want (I'm very partial to lima beans!) and then when it's done you spoon it over the rice and dump a handful of grated cheese on top. It's SO good! It's like being little and eating at Grandma's house. If your Grandma is a Mormon from Utah.
Oh, and it's even better if you do it with boneless thigh meat, but then it's way fattier.
The greatest comfort food in the world.
Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches.
Team Vodka cocktail party. Gonna make some mushroom and prosciutto crostini, and rosemary almonds. Then we'll get drunk and order Chinese food.

Gonna want the recipe on that one. I'm a sucker for hominy.
Hominy-Tomato-Chicken Casserole
figure ¼ can canned whole tomatos crushed per person.
One chicken breast per person (two if really small or large eaters) - I'm using boneless tonight!
One large onion medium dice for every 4 chicken breasts.
½ to 1 can of hominy per person (this is the star haha) I do a can per serving.
1-3 cloves of garlic (depending on taste)
Pepper of your choice. I found some gorgeous fresnos at the at the market and used one of those chopped fine.
I like parsley with this. I've seen it done with cilantro and while I love cilantro it isn't a taste I like with the hominy. Chopped.
White wine
Salt and pepper to taste
EVOO
Cheese of your choice. Tonights cheese is an herbed chevre that was on sale. I've used a bunch of different types. In fact bleu cheese with this is amazing but go real light on the peppers as they over power a lot. I do not like gouda in this nor any of the really stinky cheeses. Swiss is actually nice and I have used derby to nice compliments.
I quick sear the chicken in the same pan I use in the oven, remember this pan needs to eventually hold all of the above ingredients. When I turn the breasts over I add the garlic (I used 2 cloves for 6 breasts). Once nicely browned, remove from heat and cover with the tomatoes and a nice dash of white wine. Cover and put in a 350 oven for 15 minutes.
While in oven, drain your hominy. I don't rinse mine but you can. In a pan in a touch of butter quick fry the hominy and onions with a touch of salt and pepper. Right about the time your oven timer goes off, your onions should be just past translucent and getting a touch of color. Remove from stove and put in a bowl, quickly deglaze the pan with a couple tablespoons of the wine. Remove the pan from the oven and turn your oven down to 300. Add all of the hominy and onions and the chopped peppers to the pan, give everything a quick readjustment, drizzle with the deglazed wine from your skillet, cover and put back in the oven. Now this is the tricky part as you really have to base this on how thick your chicken is. Leave it in the oven until you are happy with the doneness of your chicken, you know what temps and such. Remove from the oven and cover with the shredded, crumbled or diced cheese of your choice. Let this sit for a good 10 minutes to let the cheese get a bit melty and the flavors combine. I sprinkle the parsley on with the cheese. If you use a hard cheese, allow a few minutes for this to go back into the oven!
I serve family style. A nice salad or some green veg on the side. Tonight is brussel sprout leaves quick fried in OO with a touch of garlic, salt and then tossed with pine nuts.
Let me know how you like this, I know a lot of people who dislike hominy so I rarely share my recipes for it!
That sounds really good. I'm gonna steal it.

Texture, I think. Love grits though.
That sounds fantastic, Niamh! Also adaptable for use with other meats.
I've made a hominy casserole before sans chicken, but with a layer or two of soft corn tortillas. This one sounds way better.
Tonight I'll be having the pasta dish I made a few days ago. Simple. I don't know what it's called when you slice onions thin and leave them covered in a skillet for like an hour, but it's that, with chopped spinach, black pepper, sage, parmesan, and almost a stick of melted butter tossed with linguine.

Very true, I have done with pork and various sausage types. Chorizo is my personal favorite.
I once had a recipe similar to mine that used pork and instead of tomatos they used a grapefruit and orange combination. It was spectacular. I have never been able to recreate that recipe. :cry:

I don't know who it was that decided, hey, lets soak corn in lye and eat it!
I am yet to eat a hominy dish that was amazing. Not saying it's bad, just that I haven't understood the appeal yet.
I love hominy! Have you ever had posole?
Probably some fancy cheese my mom bought yesterday and french bread.
Split pea soup cooked with chicken carcass, a slice of giant potato pancake, and a slice of onion pan bread.
I have no idea...maybe stirfry...we have some tofu and leftover chicken that need to be dealt with.
Orphan children.
And the ashes of my youthful idealism.
I have some roast in the freezer. After trying to cook a portion last night I am considering making tires out of the rest of it.
Leftover chili.
If I'm lucky, GS will come over and bring something else. Not that the chili wasn't amazing, though.

Peanut butter, bread and butter pickles, bacon, honey and banana sandwiches.
I gotta try this. I put some homemade (not mine) zucchini and sweet pickle relish on a peanut butter sandwhich and was totally underwhelmed. NOT enough FLAVOR. So now I need a Mach II attempt. Bacon and honey might just do it. Banana must be to mellow it out or something.
TODAY I crockpotted (ha! is that a VERB??) some chicken and put green pepper and onion slices on top, added half a can of shitty beer (waste not, want not, yo), then poured some thai bbq sauce over that. We'll see what happens.
I just had nime chow and tofu beebong from the Cambodian restaurant up the street. OMG I'm so full, and I have more than half of the beebong left.
MEEEAAAATTT PIIEEEEEE!
It smells just like Memere used to make, but I haven't had any yet. Mashed potatoes and crusty bread to go with it.
Left-over lasagna, probably. Which is good, because I make bitchin' lasagna.
Venison burger on pumpkin seed roll, swiss cheese salad and bbq sauce. :mrgreen:
I'm thinking lamb and lentil stew. Or something with lamb as I really need to cook it tonight. I might run it thru the processor with some pork and mix with ground beef and make gyro burgers.... I just hate to grind up good lamb...
Something with lamb :lulz:
I made up a soup, and it was really good. I posted it on my blog: http://tightkitchen.blogspot.com/

Just leave the ham out, it'll be fine. Nothing ruins food like vegetarian meat replacements. Mince a little fresh basil or parsley and stir it in at the very end if you want to get fancy.
You can leave the cream out too, and it'll be a different soup but still taste good.
Ground beef mixed with minced pepperincini rings and minced jalapenos. Add Worchestershire sauce and a splash of Teryaki sauce.
Patty and fry, just before removing from heat cover in shredded pepper-jack cheese.
Plate and add salsa, horseradish mustard and sour cream.
Pull pork shoulder and mashed potatoes.
Tempura Mahi-mahi, broccoli, mushrooms.
Chicken Adobo over rice with bread I baked this morning.
Since I bought and cooked a whole chicken I decided to eat the liver for lunch, as I've never had it before. I sauteed it up with butter and sage along with some other carcass scraps and ate it on a slice of the bread.
Corn chowdah! Wiff bread and salad of course.
