What's For Dinner?

[Marilyn. 340]

I love shepherd's pie but my hubby isn't crazy about it... he likes it if i make sure there is more meat then potatoes...

[KarenCee 3]

I have NO IDEA what we're having for dinner. Other than homemade bread. Hmmm....methinks I'll try making a couple of bread bowls....

[Marilyn. 340]

I have no idea what we are going to eat..

we are possibly going to a 25th wedding anniversary tonight for some people we don't know.. all my hubby knows is that they are from his mom's side of the family.. we would just be going for the free food ...

I am eating chicken sausage and popup pancakes for brunch. I'll definitely make those again. Think I'll just pick up bbq chicken and collard greens from Mike's BBQ for dinner.

Well, I tried the pop up pancakes and they didn't work. Even though I generously oiled the muffin tin, they still stuck, and they didn't puff up or get golden. They were like little hockey pucks. Hubby says it has something to do with elevation. I dunno! So, I ended up eating a chocolate bar for breakfast! Not the best breakfast in the world, but I do love Three Musketeers!

Where are you located? I treated them like I do my yorkshire puds. Have the milk and eggs at room temperature.... don't overwork the batter (eggs will get rubbery if you mess with them too much).... let the mixture rest for at least 15 minutes before baking. Plus I use a lot of oil in the tin. The only thing I didn't do.... which I shall next time... is heat the tin with the oil in it. All in all, I thought they were pretty good. Very eggy, so there's no need to have eggs with it. At least for me, anyway.

I always mix the batter in the blender.. and then let it sit at room temperature for awhile and while this is going on I heat up the oven with the muffin tins in it... and then when I am ready I take the pans out and spray them nice and good with cooking spray and then pour the batter into them and bake... they come out perfect every time...

It's 2pm here and we just had breakfast not long ago so I'm guessing we'll probably have a much later dinner.

We had Japanese last night and it was expensive and not that great. I'm spoiled in Vancouver for all the great, cheap sushi available to me. Bellingham doesn't hold a candle. Paid $12 for three tiny pieces of tuna sashimi!

Tonight I'm going to suggest we have burgers. I feel like something grilled.

Haha husband got a roasted stuffed tomato recipe out of my vegetarian cookbook (no I'm not a veg, I just like the food) and he's making it with a beef roast.

Oxymoron!

[Mephys 2]

We had some mac & cheese with Broccoli and ground beef in it, simple and fast and the kids love it.

And I made a German chocolate cake, and I roasted the coconut I'm full of eating the frosting right now

[MrsCat 6]

I really wanna cook hubby dinner tonight and have a normal evening in. . . . . .

The best I'm gonna do is open a tin of cat food for Thomas and Max and eat my lasagna while those two are chowing down.

Well that's enough of feeling sorry for myself - at least I don't have to share the remote.

We had an old friend drop by so the three of us went out for dinner at a Chinese/Japanese restaurant - yum! Now I'm stuffed - and we have left overs for lunch tomorrow.

Just got back from spending the whole day at the fair. I am stuffed full of junk food I had a chicken fajita wrap when we first arrived (which actually had grilled chicken and fresh veggies in it so it was not total junk food) ... I figured I should eat something that was not fried!!! Then hubby and I shared onion rings. I got my fried dough. I like it with tomato sauce and grated cheese on top. I had to go to 3 or 4 stands before I found one who could prepare it like that. At each stand, I was asked if I was from Connecticut .... apparently, according to the concessionaires, it is only in CT that people top fried dough with sauce.

I also nabbed bites of hubby's food: bbq pulled pork sandwich, fried Twinkie and a fried Milky Way. Personally, I thought the fried Twinkie was gross. The Milky Way was good, but I would only want one bite, not the whole thing.

Oh yeah, and we had freshly made lemonade too!!!

[Krikit 1,164]

Ew. I feel sick just thinking about fried Twinkies and Milky Ways.

We had..... Mike's bbq. Tonight I think we shall have hotpot. It's a British thing..... basically meat (usually lamb or pork) onions and potatoes in a broth, slow-cooked in the oven. Very yummy. I need to use up some things in my fridge before I leave because I know my husband won't cook a thing while I'm gone.
