What's on the menu this evening?

[Dave Visbeck]

Tri-tip & pork fried rice tonight.

[Casey37]

Trust me, it is. My wife loves making this dish.

I always bake the salmon. I've never tried to pan-sear it.

Salmon

[Hildy910]

Lasagna, garlic bread, salad and green beans.

My husband grills mine. OMG he grills it to perfection.

Tonight it was roast loin of pork, just seasons with some lemon pepper and onion salt, mashed potatoes, and acorn squash.

Soon it'll be pie time.

I have a pumpin pie in the oven now, and I baked two apples earlier. I've been in my kitchen all damn day.

Your house must smell delicious!

Maybe next time I'll grill it. I just get a small piece for myself - no one else likes it in my house.

I'm the only one who eats it as well. Well, me, and the cat, and the dog

My daughter came home from church tonight and said, "Mom, the house smells like Christmastime!"

[Dave Visbeck]

I feel like liver & onions.

[Jersey Yankee]

Beef stew w/black beans & onions, and some Spanish rice & beans I'd bought at a restaurant.

Then a few juices I'd combined.

going to a hibachi place to celebrate 6-month anniversary

[krystl]

I bought a roasted chicken because my son has bowling and I won't feel like really cooking when I get home, so this is quick and easy.

Athough I probably should avoid all poultry seeing as Thanksgiving is only 3 days away and we will have turkey coming out of our ears for awhile!

For those who recommended it, I got that Bells seasoning today. It smells good!

Happy Anniversary.
I love hibachi!

Leftover baked ziti

Leftover baked ziti

What's that...3 times now?

Leftover Italian food always tastes better the second (and maybe the third) time around.

Remember the Dark Ages -- before everybody had a microwave oven? Leftovers SUCKED back then. Nuking leftovers is a revelation.

(Yeah, I might be dating myself but my parents always made my life difficult when I avoided eating leftovers.)

Eh, I don't nuke everything. Stuff like pasta (lasagna) tastes better heated in the oven.

Maybe I'm still in the dark ages!

Certain foods are oven foods and others are microwave foods. Italian is one of the rare cuisines that reheats nicely in the oven. Rice is something that could never be left over until the microwave. And most meats were just KILLED when they were reheated. Blah. I'm such a slave to technology.

[allybear]

I'm too lazy to wait for it to heat in the oven - I need that instant gratification! Although I like cold pasta too, so that's really instant!

Anyway, we're having quick and easy all week - tonight is omelettes and tomorrow night crockpot roast beef. Wednesday is definitely takeout day!

Gotta save room in the fridge for all the Thursday leftovers!

[fredgmuggs]

I looked in 2 stores this weekend and I can't find these Bertolli frozen dinners.

Shoot...I was in Shoprite AND A&P today and I totally forgot to look. I shoulda put it on my list. Dammit.

[allybear]

Exactly - save room in the fridge and time for the hostess! The only reason I'm making a roast beef tomorrow is because my sister-in-law and 5 of her kids arrive tomorrow at midnight and may be hungry, and they'll certainly be hungry on Wednesday!

What kind of a godforsaken place do you live in??

[Smithers]

I can already taste the Cajun catfish waiting for my dinner tonight.

Chicken/broccoli divan with rice

I have got to make that butternut squash soup from Barb's recipe. I don't know if I'll get to it tonight but I have all the ingredients.

No, no. Haven't had it yet. Made eggs yesterday.

That sounds interesting. I saw Rachel Ray make some kind of pumpkin soup or something. It looked pretty good.

I never made the chix divan - I forgot to buy the broccoli - duh. But I did make a fettuccine, chix, peas and onions in a cream sauce. It was very good.

Did you throw that together yourself or is it from a recipe? I love chick peas, but never had them in pasta with cream sauce.

Chicken Divan...I never made it, but when I used to work at a day care, the cook made it every couple of weeks. I think she used cream of something soup (mushroom maybe?) and the brocolli and chicken. It was good.

The pasta dish - I meant chicken not chick peas (that was my abbreviation for chicken). I do have recipe but I change it quite a bit. The recipe calls for veal but I don't eat veal. I don't really like chicken either so I pick all the chicken out.

The Chicken Divan I make doesn't call for cream of anything soup. It's a homemade white sauce with shredded swiss.

That was my fault...I saw the chix peas and overlooked the comma. I'm tired.

The chicken divan our "cook" made was surely a shortcut recipe she used since the people eating it were 2-5 year olds. They actually liked it, considering ost kids don't like anything that's mixed together.

Appears to be New England. *shudder*

[Jersey Yankee]

The latest (if not, then the only one) incarnation of Brad's Food Thoughts That Don't Warrant Their Own Thread.

Now then, the topic for today would be shredded lettuce. Why can't people just cut the damned thing with a knife and put it into a big plastic tub or something? Why do I have to deal with this nonsense that looks like spaghetti or something? What is there appetizing about lettuce that looks like someone pours it onto a sandwich?

Also, cheap delis bothers me. I had a cheap egg sandwich today. By the time I went to eat it, the whole thing was soggy. All I asked for was lettuce (of which they served me the shredded variety, natcherly), tomato and bread. One sandwich (egg salad) was on white; the other (chicken salad) was on rye. They _BOTH_ came out soggy.

If I make a sandwich, I could put it into my plastic food container and it will go bad from sitting there before it gets soggy. How do people serve soggy sandwiches and get away with it?

Now then, who do I send my official beyotchiness to? Someone please raise their hands. The rest of you'ze peoplez, off w/your heads!!!

Thank you!!!

Off the subject, that's quite a nice avatar you have, Karen! I actually did a double take!

[fredgmuggs]

I guarantee you that it isn't going to be Turkey tonight.

Funny, we aren't having turkey tonight either.

But I wonder how many days this thead will be filled with creative turkey leftovers?

[krystl]
