I'm hungry...what's for dinner?

[reyd reid reed]

I've got a tee vee dinner. And it's nasty.

I want chocolate and fried chicken and smashed taters (not necessarily in that order).

What're you having???

[Mutley]

1. I had a ham and turkey sandwich with cheeeeeese.

And celery sticks with peanut butter. It might be time to do some grocery shopping. :crazy:

[reyd reid reed]

7. Actually, that sounds good...

Way back, when I was...well...when I got the munchies more than I do now...my favorites were lemon meringue pie, lorna doone cookies, or celery and peanut butter.

[MoseyWalker]

2. nuthin

I'm having trouble keeping things down lately, so am careful about it, and have been generally avoiding dinner.

I want chocolate and fried chicken and smashed taters too, though!

Sounds damn good.

[reyd reid reed]

8. Don't it, though?

*sigh*

[u4ic]

10. Oh no!

Ugh - nothing worse than barfing.

I hope you're feeling better soon. :hug:

[MoseyWalker]

23. thank you!

very much

I appreciate that!

(let's not think about that barfing thing though. Uh oh. - whoops)

[bigwillq]

3. I had a cheeseburger at 5 p.m.

But I am hungry again. FEED ME! :) :hi:

[reyd reid reed]

9. You can have this nasty thing...

I'll wrap it up and send it to you. I'd imagine it'd probably taste the same in a couple of days.

This is just....

Ick.

[bigwillq]

27. I don't do TV dinners!

:)

How's the daughter doing?
Glad she's back home safely!

[reyd reid reed]

29. She's doing pretty well, all things considered...

She was worried about being grounded...turns out she didn't need to worry. It was a certainty.

Thanks.

:hi:





And since I can't get rid of this thing any other way...looks like it goes in the trash. Hungry or not, I can't do this...

[bigwillq]

36. I had some potato chips.

Got them from the snack machine at work.



So did she learn her lesson?

[reyd reid reed]

40. Me and the vending machine are about to get real friendly...

I'm trying to resist, but they've got Reese's back there...

:scared:





I hope so. We'll see. For now she seems properly chastened and repentant...

[bigwillq]

42. Our stupid machine

went up five cents on everything. Before I could get two things for a buck. Now, most are 55 cents each. :mad:

[reyd reid reed]

46. You're lucky...

Ours the chips and stuff are 65 cents. My Reese's is gonna cost me a buck.

But...I don't know if I'll be fit company without it, much less make deadline. I mean...gee...

[bigwillq]

48. A buck for a Reese's?!?!?

You're getting ripped off.

[reyd reid reed]

51. I know...

So I'm trying to resist....really, really hard.

I see failure in my future, though...

To be fair...it's got three of the little thingies in it though, instead of two. Still...I could get a king sized at the grocery store for 89 cents and that's got Four of 'em.

[lizziegrace]

4. eggs

:(

I really want chocolate.

[reyd reid reed]

11. So do I.

M&Ms. Or a Symphony bar. Or a bowl of ice cream. Or...

*sigh*

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

5. I had...

Grilled Striped Bass (speargunned just this morning)
Black Beans & Rice
Asparagus
A couple glasses of Smoking Loon 2004 Chardonnay

[MoseyWalker]

12. wow

just wow

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

15. My stepdad just bought some spearguns for some reason.

He spent the weekend up in CT. Got a big striper while snorkeling this morning. During the summer, we rarely buy fish. We eat what we catch when we go up to our cabin in CT. During the colder months though, it's not only too cold to fish much, but too cold to stay in an uninsulated cabin.

[reyd reid reed]

17. I wanna bite....

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

21. Well, we still have another big filet from the striper.

That's going to be on the menu for tommorow. We do a lot of our own fishing during the summer (although the spearguns were a random weekend purchase) and fresh caught fish is so much better than anything you buy. I seriously wouldn't want to live too far inland ever.

[XemaSab]

6. Fish tacos

I cut the ahi into nuggulets and fried it in a pan with salt, pepper, and shrooms.

Put it in a tortilla.

Dumped salsa verde and tapatio on top.

It was YUMMAH.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

13. I love fish tacos.

I haven't found any places with good ones here in NJ. I guess I'll have to make my own. Hmm...now I have an idea for tommorow. Fish tacos. We still have a big striper filet that we're planning on cooking tommorow night...

[XemaSab]

18. They're really easy to make

And really yummy, and depending on what else you put in, fairly healthy. :D

[Sugar Smack]

28. Did you use hard-shelled tortillas or soft? I'm fairly new at

cooking. What did you use, and how did you prepare the tortillas?

[XemaSab]

76. Soft tortillas from Trader Joe's

I heated them over the stove. :D

Hard-shelled tortillas aren't hard to make, but the amount of oil they take is really, really astounding.

[reyd reid reed]

19. Sounds good.

[u4ic]

14. I had some BBQ chicken

from the store, a salad, and a Crunchie for dessert.

[reyd reid reed]

20. What kind of Crunchie?

Or what's a Crunchie?

[u4ic]

39. This

is a Crunchie.

Do you have them there?



(if not, it's a sponge toffee melt in your mouth thingE covered in chocolate):9

[reyd reid reed]

45. Oh, yummmmm....

We might have 'em...I honestly don't know.

Next time I'm at the store I'm gonna look, though.

:9

[GOPisEvil]

16. I had marinated roast pork tenderloin with egg noodles.

There's some pork leftover, but I made it into a tortilla wrap for lunch tomorrow. :9

[reyd reid reed]

22. Yum...

And already got tomorrow's lunch set.

Now That's efficient.

[GOPisEvil]

24. Well, if I can't cook for two, might as well make two meals.

:D

[GalleryGod]

102. Chef David ! Women DUers! Why is this man still on the loose ???

[Sugar Smack]

25. I've changed my ways since Florida : )

I had Spanish rice with an Indian Chickpea stew on top, green beans sauteed in olive oil & garlic, and marinated tossed zucchini and squash.

Is this really me? The bread-pasta-cheese-sugar-wine-cream inhaler from the days of yore? I wouldn't have known a veggie if one hit me in the face. :D

[reyd reid reed]

31. Oh, veggies can be wonderful...

Heh...especially when they're breaded and fried...

[Sugar Smack]

44. Oh hey listen, those fried veggie sticks with ranch dressing

they give away samples of in barbecue places? Don't get me started on those! GOD- I could eat 3 dozen of them in a sitting, Devil-In-My-Ear.

*drool*

[reyd reid reed]

49. Yup...

Them things.

God, I love 'em.

[GalleryGod]

103. ANYthing "white" will friggin' Kill you!

[MiniMandaRuth]

26. Melted cheese over tortillas with tomatos, onions, and avacados on top.

[reyd reid reed]

32. That sounds soooooo good...

What kind of cheese?

[MiniMandaRuth]

35. Shredded cheese.

Like the kind you put on pizza.

Yum.

[Popol Vuh]

30. I have some

Enchiladas in the oven right now. Should be done in about ten minutes. Also on the stove ready to go are some refried beans and some spanish rice.

And a bottle of Corona.

[reyd reid reed]

34. Yummmm

I'll be right there...

[Popol Vuh]

43. And you would be

Very welcome my dear. :toast:

[Gormy Cuss]

33. Gazpacho

with plenty of chopped veggies to mix in.

[reyd reid reed]

37. I haven't had that in...

Sheesh...I can't even remember.

:hi:

[Gormy Cuss]

47. Not since last summer for us.

It's a sign that our garden is producing FINALLY!

[reyd reid reed]

52. I haven't done a garden for a couple of years now...

Last few years, they've had so many watering restrictions in place, it was pointless. Then this year I wasn't sure what they were going to do.

I miss my garden, though.

Well...mostly.

:hi:

[UrbScotty]

38. Brats (nt)

[reyd reid reed]

41. Ooooooh....

I've been wanting those for So long. But they've gotten so expensive. 5.00 a package...and I've got to cook three packages of 'em.

So...the craving shall continue. At least until they go on sale somewhere...

[LeftyMom]

50. Still deciding

I had pita stuffed with hummus, lettuce, onions, cucumber and black olives for lunch. I'm cleaning the kitchen so I don't want to go too nuts with dinner.

[reyd reid reed]

53. What're you leaning towards?

[LeftyMom]

55. I have stuff for pizza.

If I get the kitchen straightened up before it cools off enough to use the oven I may just do that. Otherwise I'm really not quite sure.

I may just make a simpler dinner and throw some zucchini bread together, since I wanted to send some to flvegan.

[reyd reid reed]

57. You got a good recipe for zucchini bread?

I've got two of 'em in the fridge and it's either bread or...breaded and fried.

[LeftyMom]

58. I'll dig it up and post it later

It's pretty good if you bread and bake it like eggplant, too.

Oh, and I have used an unusual but great recipe for shepherd's pie that uses zucchini. http://www.drweil.com/u/Recipe/Recipe10092/

There's also a recipe for stuffed zucchini I posted a while back hiding in my journal.

[reyd reid reed]

59. Thanks

This is the time of year when everyone's zucchini's ready. And they've either got too much of it or they don't like it.

I've never been able to figure out why people plant stuff they don't like....

[LeftyMom]

60. I think they just plant it because they know they can't kill it

I wish they'd share. I love it. Tomatoes too (they are rediculously abundant here in late summer as well.)

What I can't eat I'll slice or shred and put in freezer bags for later use.

[reyd reid reed]

62. LOL!

You may have something there.

My neighbors share...the zucchini at least. Tomatoes, too...but not as often.

[Sugar Smack]

68. Check your PMs!

:bounce: :toast:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

54. My dear reyd reid reed!

It's Monday! And in my house, that means: PIZZA!

It's a holdover from when I worked Mondays.....

I'd come home all pooped out......and unwilling to cook...

So we'd order pizza from a local non-chain place, that delivers.......

Heaven at your door......

[reyd reid reed]

56. At my house, pizza is Saturday...

Delivery or sometimes I'll make it. And then we alternate dessert...one week, root beer floats, the next week milk shakes.

[Reverend_Smitty]

61. I made teriyaki pork chops

with a side of pierogies...yummy!

[reyd reid reed]

63. I love teriyaki...

I don't make it very often, though...dunno why, now that I think about it...

[Reverend_Smitty]

64. I had some teriyaki sauce lying around

and some pork chops in the freezer, so I figured what the heck and experimented a little bit tonight and they came out sooooo tasty

[reyd reid reed]

65. That just Sounds like it would be good...

Usually, when I think of teriyaki, I think of chicken or shrimp.

But chops just sounds good...

[Reverend_Smitty]

66. They are the other white meat

:)

[reyd reid reed]

67. Y'know what's good...

is a pork roast with tomato-dill stuff cooked with it.

Yummmmmmmm....

(edited to add...then the tomato-dill stuff goes really well with egg noodles)

[Reverend_Smitty]

69. mmmm that does sound good

[GalleryGod]

104. Good entre'....BAD sides!

Nice try,though.

[NNadir]

70. Peanut butter noodles.

[reyd reid reed]

71. You're going to have to elaborate on that one...

right now I'm seeing egg noodles tossed in peanut butter...

[NNadir]

72. It's like the cold noodles you get in Chinese restaurants, but the

tahini sauce is replaced with peanut butter. Other ingredients in the sauce are molasses, brown sugar and soy sauce.

The noodles are rice noodles.

I used to make it with Tahini, but my wife started making it with peanut butter. My oldest son simply loves this recipe and my wife makes it for him every few weeks.

It's rather good. Whenever my wife makes it, people ask her for the recipe.

[reyd reid reed]

73. Oh, that's sounds wonderful!

:hi:

[NNadir]

74. It is. We sprinkle sesame seeds on it.

[tinfoil tiaras]

75. Hamburgers that were really good

with Coke and a Bop's (an awesome local place) Oreo Concrete for dessert. YUM....:9

[reyd reid reed]

79. Oh, geeeeeze....

Oreo Concrete?

Sounds positively decadent...

[tinfoil tiaras]

82. It was

mmmmm....:9

[pitohui]

77. i had chocolate martini and oven fried chicken

cold asparagus salad with asiago cheese and balsamic vinegar for the salad

no bread or rice though, hubby is low carb, he didn't get a chocolate martini either, that's for me when my poor face is getting too thin from all this healthy eating, he had to have a questionable low carb beer ha ha

[reyd reid reed]

78. A chocolate martini?

I've heard of 'em but can't imagine...

Tell me...





(and the chicken and asparagus? Yummmmmm...)

[pitohui]

83. well i just learned how to make these

got sick of spending $10 at the foofy martini place when i wanted one

you need a chocolate flavored vodka, a vanilla flavored vodka, and a clear creme de cacoa

the proportions are 3 of the chocolate flavored vodka, 2 of the vanilla, 1 of the creme de cacoa -- you can shake with ice and strain into a chilled glass or if you don't mind it getting a little dilute, stir it over crushed ice


there is another kind of chocolate martini, which is actually brown rather than clear, made from godiva liqueur or a similar chocolate liqueur with vanilla flavored vodka -- it's sweeter though, pretty close to a chocolate milk taste

next month's project maybe!

[reyd reid reed]

86. Oh. My. God.

I haven't had a drink in 15 years, give or take...but damn...

I could go for one of those.

[LadyoftheRabbits]

80. A ham and swiss sandwich that...

I made myself at work today ^.^

[reyd reid reed]

81. What kind of bread?

[LadyoftheRabbits]

115. Hmmm....

Plain old white sandwich buns. :)

[grannylib]

84. We had grilled ring sausage and spinach salad and rice and the last of

the cupcakes from my granddaughter's birthday.

[reyd reid reed]

87. Oooooh...

Birthday cupcakes!!!

It doesn't get much better'n that...

:bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:


How old is she now?

[grannylib]

91. Just turned 11...and the grandson turns 10 in 10 days...so we will do it

again!

:hug: SO glad Sarah is safe...:hug:

[reyd reid reed]

93. Thank you.

:hug:

I am, too.

My two youngest boys are 9 and 12.

Two oldest are 17 and 22.

I still do cupcakes for all of 'em. Sometimes it doesn't seem like I'll ever get out of the kitchen.

Kinda sad though...only one left in elementary school so only one who takes them for his class.

[Jamastiene]

85. I woke up late this evening and cooked homemade vegetable

beef soup. Enjoyed it too. It was worth all that peeling and cutting and cooking for that.

[reyd reid reed]

88. I love homemade soup..

Vegetable beef barley is one of my favorites...

Right after chicken and noodles.

Yummmmm...

[AutumnMist]

109. You Cant Go Wrong With Homemade Soup

I love it. Especially when it gets cooler. Yummy!

[Jamastiene]

116. And also on rainy days.

I am a firm believer in cooking homemade soup or homemade chili on rainy days, especially if it's cold outside. It just takes the blahs away and makes you feel better.

[deucemagnet]

89. I had leftover Chicken Adobo and rice.

Anything that can be cooked outdoors is a plus in this heat!

[reyd reid reed]

90. Hell yeah...

Right now the stovetop and the oven are torture. And my microwave died a rather undramatic death about a month ago.

Dinner's an adventure these days and my kitchen's like a sauna...

[Ptah]

92. I make my own tv dinners. Just the way I like them!

:hi:

[reyd reid reed]

94. Those look a WHOLE lot better'n the one I tossed in the trash.

:hi:

[Ptah]

95. I hope you saved the tray.

:hug:

[WCGreen]

96. A big old salad......

Some French Bread with gobs of butter and a can of Pepsi....

[reyd reid reed]

99. I love salads, especially this time of year.

That's what I had for dinner last night. Only no bread.

Gotta watch that girlish figure, y'know. Well, that and I just didn't think of it.

[GalleryGod]

105. Antipasto ? Love 'em !

[WCGreen]

110. I like to watch the Girlish figures.....

As they walk on by....

[RFKHumphreyObama]

97. Probably lamb vindaloo

We've got a guest over and she's cooking

[reyd reid reed]

100. Wow...

You get company that cooks?

Damn.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

98. Dupe

Sorry

[GalleryGod]

101. Je-sus! Heart Attack On a Plate!

:puke: :puke:

[sarge43]

106. I made a tuna/cannellini bean salad with diced celery, cuke, green onions,

sliced radishes, capers with an olive oil/lemon juice dressing. It's keeping cool in the refridge. Too hot for anything warmer than 40F. Some mint iced tea and a melon slice to accompany.

[AutumnMist]

108. Sounds Wonderful and Refreshing!

What time can I be there for dinner? LOL.

[sarge43]

111. Thank you, AutumnMist.

There's plenty, so help yourself. It's very easy to make.

[AutumnMist]

112. Do You Put The Capers

in the dressing? I love olive oil and lemon. Is it just a simple blend? I would love to know. Sounds good for lunch. I have pineapple mint and chocolate mint in the herb garden. I can make some wonderful ice tea to go along with it. I love mint ice tea. DU recipe swap. :)

[sarge43]

113. Nope

Just throw a couple of tablespoons into the mix. This time I also diced up a green pepper from my garden (have to start using them up)

The oil/juice blend - half cup juice, quarter cup oil, but then I love lots of lemon juice on everything, so YMMV.

Oooooo, chocolate and pineapple mint. Did the pineapple bloom? Beautiful flowers.

[AutumnMist]

114. No blooms yet

but I have been dead heading them so I can dry more for winter. I usually let them bloom around late August. By that time I have enough dried. I bought some new sage thats truly spicy. I haven't dried it yet because its still a young plant. But I cant wait. The smell of the pineapple mint is wonderful and Its wonderful in layered desserts. Thank you for sharing. I love lemon as well so I am going to go off of your measurements.


edit :spelling change

[AutumnMist]

107. Chile Verde

Its been simmering all day. For a side we are having some homemade rice with tomatoes, cumin and garlic. My husband who is from the midwest is hooked on this. LOL.
