What's For Dinner - Part Deux

[Sprailenes 47]

Mike is making his famous spaghetti and meatballs tonight with garlic bread.

He made this for me when we first met and I told myself after eating it: "This is the man I'm going to marry"

I tried some watermelon agua at a restaurant a few weeks ago and I loved it..

so today I decided to make some.. I used this recipe and it was super yummy.. the recipe says to strain it after blending it but I didn't... the pulp is the best part...

Mexican Watermelon Agua Fresca

There are stands throughout Mexico that sell this refreshing fruit drink. You can store Agua Fresca up to 4 days in the fridge. Enjoy!

10 min | 10 min prep

SERVES 6

* 8 cups seedless watermelon, cut into chunks

* 1 cup cold water

* 2 tablespoons sugar

* 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

* 6 small watermelon wedges, for garnish

1. Combine 4 cups of the watermelon cubes and 1/2 cup of the water in a blender and puree. Press the mixture through a sieve set over a medium bowl. Pour into a large pitcher. Repeat with the remaining watermelon and water.

2. Add the sugar and lime juice to the pitcher; stir until the sugar is dissolved.

3. Pour the aqua fresca into 6 ice-filled glasses. Garnish each drink with a watermelon wedge.

Thanks Marilyn. I'm going to try that.

Tonight we are having seafood chowder with fresh bread. And maybe a salad.

As usual, I read this thread in the morning, and I'm starving. I don't know what I'm going to make tonight. I spent the weekend heating up leftovers! Yesterday I made hot wings, and a tabouli salad. There is enough that we can eat that again tonight. I did make for dessert last night a delightful apple strudel thingy in my crock pot! Here's the link if you want to try it out. Especially you Marilyn with your new crockpot! It was delicious and we had it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

I'm a huge fan of vanilla ice cream, and I think Breyers makes the best. What do you think? I've been buying the low carb Breyers as well, and it's delicious.

[Krikit 1,164]

I like Breyers. I like vanilla ice cream. :) I like chocolate dipped vanilla Dairy Scream. :)

Unfortunately, it doesn't like me.

I have just taken some homemade cranberry blueberry bran muffins out of the oven. I am now going to have one. With butter.

[Marilyn. 340]

I have been buying the Fresh and Easy Brand ice cream... it is really good...

that apple streusel recipe looks good

Ice cream has and always will be my downfall.

I'm serious. When I've been in full-on eat-healthily-and-work-out mode, I've managed to suppress my yearning for it. But when I'm NOT in that mode, it's all I ever really want. There was once, several years ago, that I ate ice cream for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. No joke! I had four individual pints throughout the day.

Mmm. Ice cream. Now I want some.

I LOVE ice cream -- i'm not much of a sweet-eater but good ice cream is my weakness too. Not the cheap stuff but Hagaan Daaz and things made with just milk, cream, eggs and whatever flavour it is... natural ice cream.

I am more of a salty girl. I prefer chips and popcorn, sammiches and burgers to sweet foods. Oh and cheese and meat.

That's one of the scary things about the U.S. Every grocery store I've been in down there has at least TWICE the selection of the ones up here. Honestly, my wife and I have been known to stand there staring at all the flavors for at least five minutes, trying to decide.

They have more brand names too -- Haagen Daas, Ben & Jerry's and Breyers, yes, but also Edy's and others I can't remember.

I swear I'm going to be 300 pounds next year.

[Malrothien 6]

I'm starting to look for stuffing/dressing recipes for next week. Ahhhhhh can't wait!

[lgg 2]

####### YEAH! I know, they have ALL the flavours of Ben&Jerry's and not only that but instead of being 7$ a pint like they are here, they're something like 3$ on sale adn they go on sale a lot. I eat a significant amount of ice cream when i'm in the U.S. I will have to bump up my running and cycling to a daily thing there. But... it is also WAY Nicer to run and to cycle where we live in the US than it is where I live now in downtown Toronto!

So... hopefully it balances out...

Hopefully...

Love,

Fatty Pants.

Exactly!!! It's SO much cheaper! I mean, at least when I buy ice cream up here, it's like an investment. Or at least a dividend. It makes me feel like I'm buying stock in Ben & Jerry's.

But when I'm in the States? Nope, that's just pure, unadulterated snackage.
