What's For Dinner - Part Deux

[Malrothien 6]

I think 'well done' gets a bad rap because of all those people who don't know how to cook a well done steak properly.

It's not supposed to be burnt, or burnt on the outside but not quite done on the inside. It should still be flavourful and not dry (although I like it dried out too!!).

I also think it's funny that people think well done steak is somehow 'badddddd'. For instance, if your friend thought having a hamburger half cooked was fabulous (and a lot of people do) and you thought it was gross, it would just be accepted, but for some reason because it's steak - it's weird.

Also! (yeah i've thought about this haha) if you like your chicken sandwich with mustard but your Husband hates mustard, you would just leave the mustard off, you wouldn't say omg Hank!! you must put mustard on your chicken, it makes it taste so much better!! No of course not because you know Hank does not like mustard.

Just some thoughts on steak I thought I would share

I used to be a well-done'r when it came to steak, too. But the melt-in-your-mouth flavor of a medium cooked steak is just hard to surpass.

Now, with that, I only like well done roast beef, hamburgers, etc. Chicken/pork HAS to be well done, imo.

Steak is really the only thing I'm picky about. Hubby is a medium-rare (which is too undercooked for me).

Okay, then Carla was having me on!

Or maybe she's not and I'm just interpreting her laughing smileys wrong.

No, I wasn't having you on. Your interpretation is wrong.

We had delicious oven crispy shake n' bake chicken last night. I'm calling it that because I made my own crumb mixture up, and it tasted very much like shake n' bake. Very crispy and delicious. Kept the chicken very moist. We had some lentils and rice and a salad. We'll finish up the chicken tonight. I'll maybe pick up some potatoes today for it, and maybe brussel sprouts.

Okay, I am a bad interpreter.

We had the butter chicken curry and basmati rice last night. I guess we'll be having the chicken soup tonight. Unless I freeze it.

I went to Olive Garden for lunch and had soup salad and breadsticks.... sooo full now! If I do get hungry later, I'll have something very light

[Peachey 10]

I'm having the other half of my sub for supper.

[Malrothien 6]

We're supposed to have chicken and pasta, but Panago has a new Italian Meatball pizza that has me drooling.

[Krikit 1,164]

Ugh. I don't know what to make for dinner and the deadline for a decision is upon me. I guess I'll default to homemade chicken soup.

[Marilyn. 340]

not sure what dinner will be..

the hubster can't eat anything when he gets home because he has to have some blood work done tomorrow..

hopefully this time he doesn't drink an energy drink right before he goes to get blood work done...

[Kathryn41 3,205]

So I made a tomato and basil quiche with added onions, a bit of okra and a bit of yellow squash. Just waiting for Joe to get home now.

[trailmix 77]

I was going to make steak tonight, but now I think we will just have perogies and salad.

[Kathryn41 3,205]

So Joe just called. He is stuck in traffic. It has taken him 40 minutes to go 2 miles. There is a football game tonight at the stadium and he is caught up in that traffic.

Ohhhhh yeah. Clemson (my alma mater) is going to crush Georgia Tech. Had fried chicken strips 2 nights ago, and rib eye steaks last night. My body has paid the price. Too much greasy foods. I think i'll have plain pasta with a little margerine and no sauce.

Homemade Mac and Cheese and salad - very good

[Malrothien 6]

Caesar salad and bagel bites. Hubby decided to cover his bosses shift so he doesn't have to work tomorrow.

Any specific recipe? I'm always looking for good Mac and Cheese recipes!

Gene has gone out of town until tomorrow evening. I'm going out for supper! I don't know where yet though. No cooking for me!
