What's For Dinner?

[L_n_O 3]

Yay for posting pictures of dinner

That looks good to meeeeee. I'm hungry!

Oliver loved it! The sweet potato looks a little weird.. but was amazing..

I loved the noodles!

Well tonight, pork chops - glazed in something - corn on the cob and garlic bread.

I always find it weird on these cooking shows that these people handle meat then stick their hand in a bowl of salt or zip up the freezer bag they are putting it in for marinating, without washing their hands.

tomorrow night we are going out for our Anniversary dinner... we might be going to Applebee's or TGI Fridays...

Ugh, my mom's computer is soooo slow, it is truly a sign of how much I love my Canadian buddies that I am even posting here LOL

Marilyn, Happy anniversary ... hope you enjoy your meal out.

Carla - Oh yeah, fair/amusement park food is great once in a while! Hubby would eat it more often if he could We also have been taking advantage of fast food restaurants that we used to eat it when I lived in GA, but are not anywhere near where we live now .... so far, we have eaten at Sonic, Chick Fil-A, and Krystal's (hubby's all time favorite!!!).

I love the recipes I have seen posted here ... can't wait to try some of them

Tonight, my mom and I made cabbage rolls, but they are STILL cooking so we just had tomato sandwiches for dinner (fresh tomatoes with parsley, oregano, pepper and garlic powder seasoning them, on toasted white bread with mayo.

There is nothing better than fresh tomatoes straight off the vine, warmed gently by the sun, sprinkled with freshly cracked salt and pepper, nestled between two slices of toasted homemade bread that have been spread with that sweet, sweet nectar of the gods -- Miracle Whip.

I think I just made myself drool.

...chicken breasts...

Yakh! Still Can't Eat them.....

We are going to have "Mexican Fiesta" (Rice, meat of your choce, red beans, red bell peppers, onions, special "secret spices" from "Uncle Ben's", corn) for tonight.

Happy Anniversary Marilyn! Hope you and hubby have a great time out.

Not sure what we're having...we ordered a pizza last night from Papa John's. Darn good pizza!

Let's see now, I do have chicken and hamburger patties, as well as hotdogs. I *could* marinate the chicken and oven bake with BBQ sauce. I could make salisbury steak with the hamburger patties. Oh wait...I also have some thin sliced steak...I *could* do something with that. I have lots of spices and such as well. Hmmm, now that I looked up that recipe for Donair sauce that Cassie sent me (thank you again!) I might try my hand at making donairs. And garlic sticks. And potatoes...tossed in olive oil and ranch dressing mix. Or onion soup mix. Gotta go find some veggies, we're out. Green bean casserole? That sounds good. I have everything for it, 'cept the green beans. Mayo popovers with cheddar cheese baked in it kinda like cheddar cheese biscuits. Rice...what to do with rice...noodles...hmmm....

My pork chops were once again glazed in ze bbq sauce. Need to use up the food stuffs/condiments we have here! I rarely use bbq sauce, although I love it. The corn on the cob last night was delicious!

Took out some round rouladen the day before yesterday (thin sliced round beef) - so will probably stir fry. I had a friend in NZ who used to take that and make a stuffing and wrap the stuffing in beef then skewer it with a tooth pick and bake it - it was very good, can't rememer what it's called off the top of my head.

Happy Anniversary Marilyn!

I'm cookin' up some chicken breast spiced with merken (a Chilean spice blend) and panfrying mushrooms and brussel sprouts with garlic, sea salt and olive oil. It's the first time I'm trying this out, but I'm thinking it's going to be deee-lish

Okay.... I did a double-take on the merken. See why. Seriously.... I SO do not want to have chicken with merken now.

I"m going to make Marilyn's Ugly Naked Chicken Thighs tonight. I made note the other day they sounded good, and that when I served them, I would do so naked. No one commented! ( I know...no pics of dinner tonight! )

Just look at the things I miss when I do drive-by readings. Yes, do pics, Carla!

Ugh, my mom's computer is soooo slow, it is truly a sign of how much I love my Canadian buddies that I am even posting here LOL

Awwwwww. We love you too, Autumn.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I love that too. And you said it so poetically, Cassie. UNTIL YOU GOT TO THE MIRACLE WHIP!!!!!!!!! What are you thinking, Miracle Whip?!!!!! *shudder* It's Hellman's all the way.

...chicken breasts...

Yakh! Still Can't Eat them.....

Is there some dark story there somewhere?

[trailmix 77]

Yay for hellmans! I'm very much a mayo person, however - I have switched to Miracle Whip purely because the calories in MW are so much lower.

Handy hint: Never cook tomato based sauces while naked, as they splatter

Same with bacon and french fries.

:lol:

No worries, I have much love for the Hellman's, but I love the vinegary twang of the Miracle Whip which cuts through the acidity of the tomatoes.

Sweet goodness, I am starting to sound like a judge on Iron Chef America

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the original Iron Chef. The theatrics will never be duplicated! The chicken battle with Chef Joel Robuchon was classic.
