What's For Dinner - Part Deux

[Rhiannercakes 14]

I was going to make tacos, but after working for 8 hours and remembering that my kitchen is a disaster... I cooked a frozen pizza instead.

The chicken club pizza from M&M Meatshops.

So good.

Joe and I went out with friends for dinner tonight - in fact they are a couple whom we met 2 years ago here on VJ - she is from the Ukraine. We went to Cracker Barrel for dinner - always a good choice for me because I LOVE their catfish. That is what I had - spicy grilled catfish with carrots, baby lima beans and turnip greens. Joe had the country fried steak with pinto beans (of course), turnip greens and macaroni and cheese. The dinner and the company were both excellent.

I love Cracker Barrel. The restaurants here in Indy are amazing.

We went to Olive Garden for lunch. They have this 8.95 special for which you get unlimited breadsticks, garden salad, pasta and sauce choices. It was delicious... and filling.

We've been eating ethnic all weekend, and I need something else to eat now. I STILL haven't made that soup and sandwich dinner I wanted to make last week, so now THAT is what I'm going to make tonight.

BTW, what classifies food as "ethnic". I've been reading your post about the potluck, and was wondering

Tonight, It's chicken strips and mashed potatos and gravy yummmmmmm.

I'm just guessing here, but I would think it's any type of food outside of "american" food. Like Indian, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, etc. Anything not classified as American food

LoL, I thought that, but didn't want to assume. But then, that leads me to my next question..... What is "american" food? Hamburgers, fried chicken and meatloaf? I can't really think of too many things that are uniquely american.

Hmmm when I think of American food.... Pizza, burgers, hot dogs, fries, roast beef, steak, turkey.

Mike made this delicious grilled zucchini today and he brushed it with olive oil and finished it off with chopped mint leaves - it was really good and so simple! We also had brown rice with that.

I only see burgers and fries as american. The rest are from various european countries afaik. I guess it has more to do with perception than where it was actually from.

I made mac and cheese with hot dogs in it with some creamed corn on the side... yum!
