what did you have for dinner/supper/whatever you call end of day meal?

[Kali]

Haven't seen one of these in a while.

We are having home grown JUST PICKED corn on the cob!:9 :9 :9 :bounce:

Also fresh home grown tomato slices.

oh yeah and crock pot shredded bbq beef on buns. But the star is CORN!!!!

[Seedersandleechers]

1. Woodbridge

Chardonnay in the 1-1/2 liter bottle.

[Kali]

3. got any fruit?

does chard make decent white sangria? I'm feeling a craving develop.

[tigereye]

2. leftover pasta and veggies, leftover marlin and salmon

and some heirloom tomatoes from the farm club (CSA) we belong to...

[Kali]

4. marlin and salmon?

how does that do together? I don't think I have ever had marlin. One drawback to my locale. Severe lack of affordable seafood.

[tigereye]

28. no, we just had em both leftover...

I had never had marlin either- I love fish and just thought it was worth a try... It was very thick and strong tasting - quite good!



I made a marinade with soy, garlic, ginger and honey for em, and grilled em.

[one_voice]

5. Pretty simple tonight...

Spaghetti with meat sauce and bread. I know kinda boring.

[Kali]

6. not at all

comfort food! got any fresh basil or parsley you can zip it up with? hmmm I am detecting a theme in my brain tonight.



parsley has an e in it

[one_voice]

15. Basil...

Supper vs. Dinner. My dad is from Alabama and he told me once that lunch was called supper and dinner was the end of the day meal. Maybe it's a regional or generational thing? Oh, and lunch/supper was always a big meal cuz they worked in the fields/farm from early in the morning. No pb&j for them.

[Kali]

19. the big mid day meal was the norm here when I was a kid, but

I just can't do it. Too hot most of the year and I actually do a lot of the traditional "men's work" so I'm not here most mornings to be prepping some huge meal - the husband does a LOT of the cooking but he isn't going to do a big mid day meal either:rofl:

[LeftyFingerPop]

7. 2 packs of peanut butter crackers and a bottle of regular pepsi.

I have been maintaining my blood sugar all day perfectly for the past month and a half. I've lost 19 pounds.

Supper is the lightest "meal" of the day, and the pepsi is to keep my insulin from causing my sugar to drop too low while I am sleeping.

[Kali]

10. 19 lbs?

wow! good job. I am working on getting a handle on the weight - had a bit of a scare earlier this summer. Are those the pb crackers that are "orange cheese" flavor? I confess to kind of liking those even though I don't care much for peanut butter otherwise (cookies excepted)

are you allowed/having any fresh vegetables or fruit?

[LeftyFingerPop]

13. I have all different kinds, and...

I like the orange ones too.

They really are kind of a shit food, but for some reason, they really help me control my blood sugar. Probably the combo of carbs and fat and protein.

For breakfast I have low fat cottage cheese mixed with fruit.

For lunch, I will either have a huge chef's salad, or a big fish sandwich with all kinds of veggies, or some chicken and veggies.

[Kali]

20. good idea for breakfast

I love cottage cheese. Going to try that! The fruit alone isn't getting me through the morning at all.

[applegrove]

8. Lamb Kabob and tomato & mango salad. Got if from the caterers.

[Kali]

11. oooo yum

I can eat a bit of lamb if it is sizzling hot and preferably grilled over a fire.

what is in a mango and tomato salad, sounds intriguing?

[applegrove]

17. None of the insides of the tomato were in the salad just the outside & skin sliced thin (about 1/3

of an inch thick and long). The mango was sliced the same but looked yellow instead of orange. Green onions diced tiny, red onion in strips. And a vinagret dressing. It is really yummy we have it all the time.

[Kali]

21. sounds pretty good, might have to get a mango.

I always get mangos and papayas mixed up.

[applegrove]

26. I think we get a Pakistani mango in Canada that isn't available in the USA.

[sakabatou]

9. Steak. BBQ'd it myself.

[Kali]

12. your friendly DU beef producer thanks you

for having beef for dinner!

[sakabatou]

16. My parents had hotdogs and chicken

^_^

[Kali]

33. mixed grill!

I like to go on a meat binge occasionally and grill chicken legs, pork and beef ribs, and Italian sausages.

[sakabatou]

37. Yup.

Last time the grill was fired up, it was salmon.

[grace0418]

14. We ended up going out for dinner to a lovely little Italian place. I had zucchini blossoms stuffed

with lemon ricotta and fresh papardelle with Berkshire pork and fresh tomatoes. Man, that was delicious.

[Kali]

22. yum

and so smart to get those zucchinis early before they turn into the size of a baseball bat!:rofl:

[grace0418]

55. Oh, yeah. And they were delicious. Perfectly seasoned, cooked and resting on

super fresh tomato sauce.

[hobbit709]

18. Beef rib plate at Artz Rib House.

With a bag of bones to take home for the kids-they are happy campers.

[Kali]

23. no fresh salad or vegs?

or at least BEANS with that Q?

[hobbit709]

27. Rib plate includes sides

Had large bowl of beans instead of the slaw and potato salad.

[Gormy Cuss]

24. Corn on the cob here too, plus tomatoes and basil, and figs with a gorgonzola stuffing.

That last item is an Emeril recipe from Organic Gardening. Homemade lavender-infused honey mixed with marscapone and blue cheese, stuffed in a trimmed black Mission fig and topped with a drizzle of honey. I skipped the lavender infusion and it still was absolutely delicious.

[Kali]

30. lavender infused honey?

how does one do that? I so seldom have figs, that I tend to just eat them plain. Gophers killed my little tree shortly after it started producing enough to actually do more than eat the annual handful fresh picked.

[Gormy Cuss]

49. Warm the honey with lavender buds in it then let it cool.

Strain out the lavender. I forgot to mention that I also used light cream cheese instead of the marscapone too.

Planting a fig tree is on my wish list. There's a 60-year old Mission fig tree in front of a neighbor's house - unbelievable amount of fruit and the tree itself is beautiful.

[cwydro]

25. I made my favorite comfort food,

which is campfire mac and cheese

[Kali]

29. ha!

we had some baked potatoes too, but I didn't eat one - mac and cheese would have been MUCH better:9

[Mendocino]

31. Green beans, tomatoes, sweet corn

and brown rice, with melon and blueberries for desert.

[Kali]

34. mmm melon and blueberries together sounds delicious!

I would never have thought of that, but it sounds good.

[mwdem]

32. Chicken braised in wine/lemon

with artichokes. Yummy. and with jasmime rice.

[Kali]

35. mmm I haven't had an artichoke in AGES

love them!

[mwdem]

41. It was canned, in water;

but just fine for the simple recipe.

[Kali]

42. oh, I was thinking the whole globes - you know a nice vegetable excuse

to eat half a cup of butter}(

so come to think of it I had some hearts in a pasta salad not too long ago

[kentauros]

36. I made Hot German Potato Salad

although I don't know if the recipe came from a hot German or not :P

I also added sauerkraut, cooked the onions and used a recipe that didn't call for any meat, such as the ubiquitous bacon bits most people add ;)

[Kali]

44. so how was it?

seems like bacon and its delicious by-product - the grease, are pretty integral to German Potato Salad

I have a recipe for an Italian green bean and potato salad (cold or room temp)that is vegan and delicious - basically french cut green beans and boiled red potatoes in a viniagrette, but is is so good in its simplicity.

[kentauros]

51. It was delicious!

I think the sauerkraut helped spread out the flavor, considering, too, that the recipe called for 5# of potatoes and I only had 3# on hand.

I remember hot German potato salad with bacon when I ate meat, but I didn't miss it in this version :) I doubt I'll eat the leftovers cold though. Cold potatoes are fine in a standard mustard potato salad, but that's it.

[trackfan]

38. Delete dupe..

[trackfan]

39. A Caesar salad

with the addition of tomatoes, since we have a garden full of them right now.

[Kali]

45. aren't they wonderful?

we are eating them at almost every meal - so far I haven't hesitated - not sick of them at all. The zucchini? eh - still good when it is finished cooking and on the plate, but a definite hesitation when thinking about using them. again :P

[trackfan]

53. I pickled 8 lbs. of zucchini a few weeks ago,

and have made it several ways - sauteed, casserole, zucchini bread, etc. - but it just keeps on coming. I try to pick them when they're small, but I often overlook them, and have had several grow to over a foot in length.

[Chellee]

40. Well, this is a little embarrassing.

There was a festival, and they had these outrageous burgers, and my daughter and I wanted try them. But, she's a vegetarian, the burgers weren't, and I didn't want to have one when she couldn't so...

We decided to make them at home.

Veggie burgers, bacon, cheese, mayo on a glazed donut.

It was weird. but good.

[Kali]

46. too funny!

veggie fried "fair" food - did you put them on a stick?:7

[Chellee]

50. We probably should have.

The sugar glaze got warm and the burgers were really sticky to hold.

[Inchworm]

43. 'mater sandwiches

I may founder myself any day.. but oh what a way to go!

:9

Edit: lol.. ok "founder" didn't look right typed out so I looked it up.

... archaic (of animals, esp livestock) to become ill from overeating.

Daggone hillbillys! Done skrood up me vernacular!!

:+

[Kali]

47. founder tend to happen when animals (esp equines) eat too much grain

carb overload, probably what you are thinking is bloat - that usually happens on super rich fresh (green) feed

I'm thinking too many tomatoes might give one bloat (or run right through you for another digestive related problem heh heh)

but yeah! what a way to go...we are eating them at every meal

[Radical Activist]

48. Ice Cream.

It was yum.

[Kali]

56. what flavor?

[Radical Activist]

59. Haagen Dasz Caramel Cone.

The store didn't have Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream so this was the substitute.

[Flaxbee]

52. vegetarian pad thai with tofu

good stuff.

and then once I got home after midnight from a very loooong day of work, some blueberries and vanilla yogurt.

[Kali]

57. I don't "know" Thai food very well.

Need to check it out.

Love the blueberries - used to order a blueberry shake at DQ once in a while, but haven't been in ages.

[Petrushka]

54. Hungarian goulash made with round steak and fresh-picked tomatoes, green peppers, & onions . . .

. . . (seasoned with nothing but sweet Hungarian paprika) served over buttered Kluski noodles . . . plus a choice of salads: (1) thin-sliced cucumbers with chives, dill & sour cream; and/or (2) yesterday's leftover cole slaw.

[Kali]

58. mmm that sounds good and I would choose the cuke salad

[davsand]

60. We had Fried Bologna with fresh tomato slices.

Served on Whole Wheat buns. We also had fresh broccoli salad and cantaloupe. Bunny Tracks Ice cream with leftover German Chocolate Cake for dessert.



Laura

[Kali]

63. ha TONIGHT the boys and I had cold bologna (baloney?) sandwiches

more tomatoes and potato chips. The husband in on clear liquids for that favorite middle age "procedure" he will be having tomorrow, so we didn't get too carried away with the food tonight.

[hippywife]

61. Last night

I had a homemade wholewheat honey raisin bagel with a cream cheese spread I made that had sugar, cinnamon and allspice mixed into it.

Tonight I had a pluot and some sweet cherries.

I usually don't eat much in the way of dinner through the week.

:hi:

[Kali]

64. tonight is lighter for us as well, but not quite THAT light.

oh I think we are going to get into husband's Popsicles too for desert!

[grace0418]

62. Today was heirloom tomato salad (all local, all organic, some homegrown), farmer's market

organic sweet corn, braised organic tuscan kale, homemade green and red salsas from all organic, local ingredients, homemade guacamole, and tacos from a little taqueria down the street. Yum.

[Kali]

65. the tomatoes are just so good this year

mmm tacos sound a LOT better than baloney sandwichesx(

[Odin2005]

66. Chicken-fried steak, mashed potatoes, and a salad.

I went to a little family restaurant. very good food.

[Kali]

67. no overcooked green beans with bacon on the side?

that's what yer 'posed to have with chicken fried steak. :P

that is one of my favorite local cafe meals (and despite the fact that we haven't been going out much lately it still shows on my: :kick:

[SeattleGirl]

68. Teriyaki chicken

:9
