Tonight, we will be having whats left after three days of constant house guests. My fridge is absolutely packed with london broil, sausage/onions & peppers, grilled teriyaki chicken & beef skewers,different salads,corn on the cob and baked potatoes.
Left overs are great.

Dinner was hours ago.

I had lamb.

Dinner is so four hours ago.

I'll be right over to help you clear out some space in the fridge.

We've got a couple of left-over grilled pork chops, a couple ears of corn, maybe I'll boil some fingerling potatoes and then give them the quick-fry in olive oil with sage and rosemary. Mmm ... and salad, too.

Kielbasa...wrapped in flatbread

Probably cookies, if I can keep my hands of my 5 lb bag of Jolly Ranchers...

Steak sandwhiches and salad here for me soon :)

Kielbasa...wrapped in flatbread
Smoked, I hope.

I'm thinking about chinese.

I had lamb.


I love lamb

I'm a college student, It's welcome week. Whatever's free.

It was roasted vegetables (aubergine, onion, fennel, peppers, courgette, carrot, potatoes) and rice. And it was bloody good.

That sentence is probably the greatest advertisement for not becoming a vegatarian that I've even seen. :p

The fresh sweet corn from the farmstands is so excellent-we have several tomatos too.
I also have the odd beers left from several six and 12 packs still on ice in a huge cooler.

Everyone brought so much stuff.

ham toasted on an english muffin with cheese. Or nothing. If I dont eat Ill be less sleepy riding to Vegas tonight.

The corn is super right now, and the tomatoes in my garden are just now getting ripe ... and my homegrown serrano peppers, too. :D And I do like hosting large parties, 'cause I always end up with an interesting surplus of beer (for a couple days, anyway).

Dude, I'd eat that even if I weren't a vegetarian.

Gyro.

I'd eat the rice, potato and carrots. And feel cheated out of a proper meal. :p

I'm not a vegetarian, but we eat meatless meals often. Last week, I grilled sliced zucchini, eggplant and red peppers with olive oil-a little salt, whole basil leaves and put it on grill-toasted semolina bread.

It was damn good.

Gyro.
Gesundheit.

Gyro.

I usually avoid meat pulp carved off a lathe myself.

I like leg of lamb, or rack. extremely rare.

Farny, can I come live with you please?

Damn all you people who can eat normal food. My dinner is likely going to consist of a small bowl of cream of wheat and some jello. Stupid teeth.

Paella.

Me too- its like the party goes on a little longer- My brother and his wife are coming over to "help" us finish this food. I really dont waste any food, so I am happy to have them.
Peppers,onions and sausage are even better a day later.

And we had really great watermelon too-Have you had any this season? It was locally grown- beautiful deep red, very few seeds and so sweet.

I love this time of year.

Farny, can I come live with you please?
How do you feel about cleaning gutters?

I think I'll make lamb soon.
You're a sheep?

Paella.


I love that too- we had shrimp and sea scallops on Saturday, but they always go fast-they are never left over.

Mmm, yes, the watermelon's fine, and so are the cantaloupes. Thanks for reminding me, I have to stop at the store on the way home and I should get one or the other ... or both!

I'd eat the rice, potato and carrots. And feel cheated out of a proper meal. :p
Typical Brit then? If there's no meat it's not a proper meal, and there's no vegetables beyond potatoes, carrots, onions and maybe some broccoli and cauliflower? :p

I think I'll make lamb soon.


yeah- its almost that time of year to start roasting and broiling again.


And home-made pizza. I havent made dough since the spring-And I think my pizza stone is still packed from when we moved.

Typical Brit then? If there's no meat it's not a proper meal, and there's no vegetables beyond potatoes, carrots, onions and maybe some broccoli and cauliflower? :p
Peas! You forgot the peas!

I'm actually really bad with veg. I usually just toss some peas on the stove or some baked beans in the microwave as an afterthought. Sunday Roast is generally the only time I eat anything else, when I might get some broccoli.

How do you feel about cleaning gutters?

Rain gutters or gutters in front of bars?

Typical Brit then? If there's no meat it's not a proper meal, and there's no vegetables beyond potatoes, carrots, onions and maybe some broccoli and cauliflower? :p
Yeah, but only children eat cauliflower and broccoli because their parents make them eat their greens. Sprouts too. :(

I forgot about cantaloupes! My wife went shopping with the kids last and got a load of plums, nectarines and peaches.

and I discovered I have blueberry bushes in the back of my property, but they dont seem to be producing-I have to prune them a certain way? They are tall and narrow as the deer have been at them since before our house was built.
I'm hoping for them to give us some berries next year

You're a sheep?
Only for you.

;)


Bahhhh!

Only for you.

;)


Bahhhh!
It's baaahhhh!

You make a very unconvincing sheep.

The melons here were very good this year too. Exceptionally good. Even the honeydews were flavorful.

Peas! You forgot the peas!

Eh, I can't stand peas. Or baked beans. Be more adventurous with your veg!

I love sprouts. And broccoli. Not cauliflower, though.

Get in touch with your local agricultural extension service, usually part of the state college, they should be able to set you straight. If the bushes are really big and overgrown, you can prune out one-third of the oldest canes or stalks. Then next year to the same, and by the fourth year the bush should be renewed. You might have to wait a year or more for fruit, though. But do look it up or talk to a horticultural-type person, I've never raised berries. I've given out raspberries, but that's something different.

Only for you.

Bahhhh!

I read something about the time of day affesting the taste- at certain times there is more sugar in the fruit?

Eh, I can't stand peas. Or baked beans. Be more adventurous with your veg!

I love sprouts. And broccoli. Not cauliflower, though.

I usually just eat potatoes. I eat mushrooms everyday too but I've been told fungus doesn't count as a veggie. Does anyone know if that is true?

I never know. Every night at dinner where I live is a mystery... But the food is edible, I'll tell you that.

Oh, I forgot mushrooms! I love breaded mushrooms; I always have them as a starter when I go out.

This evening I had some sort of ready meal from Waitrose. There was cheese in it, I am led to believe.

I love broccoli and cauliflower but not brussel sprouts. My grandfather used to call them "little cabbitches" and loved them but they tasted of cooked spinach clay and ammonia to me. I love raw spinach and dont much like cooked spinach. Same with carrots.

That sounds like vegetal discrimination to me.

I'm new at this!

Could be. But Im not as picky about the sweetness as I am about the other flavors. I like Santa Claus melons better than honeydews for this reason.

I'm new at this!
In time, we shall train you to be a fine sheep. Practice and patience is all it takes.

Now go and say 100 'baaahhhh's' and brush your fleece.

I'm hungry, what should I cook for my very late dinner?

Pie and mash.

Roastbeef pepperoni mayo wrap!

Dude, I'd eat that even if I weren't a vegetarian.
Yeah, it sounded goood!

Alright. Mmm...hollands meat and potatoe pie. :)

Great, now I'm drooling!

I'm making a pizza from scratch, with pesto provenzale, spicy pepperoni, bacon and feta cheese.

Chicken fajitas and spicey-ish potato wedges.

There's always some form of potato in dinner...something about being Irish probably...

Every Irish person I've ever known (well that's only two) always seemed to mention how great spuds are at least once a day. Are you brainwashed at school into going around advertising potatoes? :eek:

Tonight, we will be having whats left after three days of constant house guests. My fridge is absolutely packed with london broil, sausage/onions & peppers, grilled teriyaki chicken & beef skewers,different salads,corn on the cob and baked potatoes.
Left overs are great.

Sounds good, I'm having one of my favorites, Ham Fettuccine with breadsticks

Thanks for posting! I got the treat of looking at the General menu and seeing
"What are you having for dinner? Baked squirrels" :p

Well, for dinner tonight, I am having... vitamin tablets, Crystal Light and a couple of slices of cold pizza.

They're just pretty good food...lots of things you can do with them, and they go with anything, basically. Cheap, filling, and good for you....:)

A 1.2lb sirloin steak (on sale for 3.99/lb) and corn in butter.

Beef...Its whats for dinner...tonight.

Chicken and Ribs for my birthday dinner.

It was wonderful, but the service at the restraunt we went to was slow.

Tuna, corn and salad, all ala my parents.

Happy Birthday KSP.:cool:

2 cups of Ramen noodles heated in a microwave. Oh yeah, that's right. I'm feasting tonight!

And now I've started to think about what dinner will be tonight... We still have leftovers from the weekend, but they'll be lunch today.

Grilled salmon, grilled sweet peppers (done up as a piperade with vidalia onions), grilled corn on the cob.

Me and my mate are ordering in a Chinese to complement our gaming fest. There will be lots of Dr Pepper as well. :D

what time will that be at and whats the dress code ?

what time will that be at and whats the dress code ?
6:30 PM EST, Herndon, Va, and the dress code is t-shirts and shorts.

You have to bring the chardonnay. Well chilled.

I made pasta with tomato/tuna sauce for me and my boyfriend tonight.

The night before, I made myself my very first ever omelet.

The night before that it was, most likely, pasta again. The next night I stay at my boyfriend's it will be, most likely, pasta again.

I like making pasta ^.^

While I'm at home, I plan on learning to cook sausages the way I like them. And next week sometime I'm going to learn to make perfect pizza bases.

(Guess who just recently learnt that cooking is really fun?)

Will the "Barefoot" brand be acceptable? I'm not a big wine drinker, but I've had a glass each of their Chardonnay and Merlot- both were nice.

And they're from California

To me, the prep and cooking is as enjoyable as eating. And I usually try to get everyone involved. We have a great kitchen for that now-plenty of room-large counters and an island. Everyone that wants to can join in.

I especially like to get my kids involved. They are more interested in eating well when they played a part in it.

What's amusing is that I'm not much of a foody myself - I just really enjoy preparing food. Of course, it gets a bit tricky when I need to taste test things, but I'm getting the hang of that too. But when I started cooking at first, I *much* prefered the ideas and the preparation to the actual eating of the meal afterwards.

It probably also helps that certain afforementioned boyfriends are forcing me out of my self-imposed food shell and making me try new and scary things.

I don't have any kids to cook with (alas), but I have a girlfriend (of the platonic kind; again, alas) who greatly enjoys cooking with me. Her personal preferance lies with baking cakes though. I've actually got a dozen cupcakes and a mudcake waiting to be iced on the fridge in the other room right now, now that I think about it >.>

I am currently on a low GI diet at the moment so I will be having what sounds like a very high GI dinner but isn't:
3 Rashers
1 egg
1 small tin of beans (Heinz if you must know)
Washed down with a few glasses of water!

Not just kids- I mean adult company-friends,family. Its a great social activity, instead of one person struggling to get everything ready at once, while everyone else just gabs.

Sounds like most vegetables really. Tonight I'll be having root vegetable chips with some sort of dip, and a lot of home-made smoothie.

n00dles!

I feel like chicken tonight, like chicken tonight... :p

I feel like chicken tonight, like chicken tonight... :p

It looks like thats what we're having- cutlets defrosting on counter.

Maybe grilled with teryaki sauce? I have to see what the wife is planning.

Beef olives and potato croquettes. Divine.

Depends if the caf has anything good tonight. Probably not, but one can home and pray.

Carryout from Pizza Hut. Stuffed Crust... delightful. So greasy... ;)

Leftover Domino's pizza and coffee.

I made pasta salad (read, I made it 2 weeks ago and froze it, and tonight my husband thawed it out) it was good. It had gluten free pasta, and ham, and cheese, and boiled eggs, and broccoli, and cauliflower, and carrots, and red potatoes, and onions, and bacon bits, and salad dressing.

I had popcorn shrimp, lima beans, french fries, and milk.

Stromboli (onions, peppers, garlic, tomatoes, crumbled tofu in italian spices, black olives). We'll see how it comes out... which should be in about 1 minute.

Bacon bits brings back memories, I used to eat them straight.

I had rice, this sort of..tomato sauce, beef curry, and beans. And water. The usual stuff for me.

Ooh, this reminds me. I've gotta thaw something out for dinner. Mmmm...ground beef for tacos... :cool:

Of course. :cool:

Rice pudding and jam

Hm...I'll probably have raspberries, leftover steak and salad, and Project Runway.

I'm planning on having roast potatoes with bacon and eggs. Really looking forward to it :D

*sings* "Yummy yummy yummy I have a hungry tummy..."

I am still banned from the kitchen, I am sitting her in bed waiting for lunch, I have no clue what they are going to feed me, but they came in and asked about boiling eggs

tonight hubby is grilling me chicken breast and corn on the cob.

I liketo take left over baked potatoes and brown them in a pan with some onions & chopped peppers (I keep chopped onions and peppers in a freezer bag,frozen as we use them often)-

"home fries" are great

Live it up, girl. :p
I almost always cook breakfast and dinner at my house. My wife makes lunch on occasion. And I cook all of the meals on the weekends.

Liquid meals, mate. Hooray beer! :D

That could be a plan- I'm still exploring this new area we moved to and there is a place not far away that has 10 cent hotwings on Wed nights-I might very well be washing them down with a few cold ones tonight

chicken wings and beers definately equal a good time.

It's nearly my tea time again (what you crazy foreigners call dinner time).

Tell me what I should cook. Please? :)

Are you ill?
I have extreme exhaustion or something (can't remember what they said I have) but anyway, I was like seeing spots lost hearing in my left ear, dizzy, ect. My doctor has prescribed sedatives and I am supposed to stay in bed until Thursday, I slept most of Monday night into Tuesday evening, and today I am just relaxing, I am supposed to take another sedative at 5pm and sleep some more and Thursday night I am "off bed rest" if my doctor thinks I have recovered.

yeah, he is grilling the corn in the husk too.

Wow! I wouldnt be able to stand that.

Take it easy and relax, which sounds like what the doctor prescribed.

I heard that a pastie shop opened up in a town not too far from here, I may go check that out. Barring that I'll probably make spaghetti or something. I'm a college student and I live alone, so I'm allowed to be lazy.

That really sounds good.

Well, I got it all cut up and the oil is sizzleling in the pan - just dropped in for the news update :D Will tell you later how it tasted!

Oh yeah - I did add onions. Maybe the eggs will be served with tomorrow's evening meal!

the smell of potatoes & onions frying is fantastic-I am imagining it now.

Oooh, just the smell of it all makes my taste buds go crazy in anticipation!

Addition: That's crazy!!! When I decided to answer, you hadn't posted that yet!!!

Certainly,to anyone that has ever browned potatoes and onions together in a pan, this is memorable and fact.

Enjoy!

Was a special occasion today so I just had a good meal.

Starter: Toasted french bread with champagne mushrooms fried in butter and garlic stacked on top. Topped with melting Danish blue cheese.

Main: T-bone steak and peppercorn sauce. New potatoes, green salad and fried mushroom and onion.

Dessert: Whatever is in the freezer, I ate the first two courses and think I'll wait a while before I eat again.

okay now I am hungry. :( I love homefries.........used to smother them with cream gravy, but my gravy mo-jo has been off since I had to go wheat free. Rice flour just doesn't work for some stuff.

I finally got the steak cooked right as well. It was so bloody that the plate looked like the aftermath of a Tarantino movies.

No they don't. I've seen american standup comedians, the only people that eat fried chicken are black people. Apparently they really like watermelon as well.

While I'm a great admirer of the only director I have met in person and especially his works - I don't like my meat bloody. Medium with a hint towards well done is it for me.

Which reminds me - I had bison steak for the first time on Saturday night BBQ. Great taste, but really expensive.

I just like a splash of Worstechire/teriaki/garlic brushed on each side, a little salt & pepper, then grilled or broiled only till there are grill marks.

I enjoy meat most when its simply room temperature-flank steak being my favorite. Skirt steak a close second.

or a lamb rack

We herre in PA like to eat good!

And since I have no potatoes, bleenies are out. :(

*smacks you for teehee*

No they don't. I've seen american standup comedians, the only people that eat fried chicken are black people. Apparently they really like watermelon as well.
I like fried chicken, watermellon, beans, collard greens, corn bread, and fried tatoes, that doesn't make me black, it makes me from the south. :D

Okay, so the glutton in me decided to add the two eggs I had left in the fridge as well.

So, today's menu consists of:

Roast potatoes with bacon and onions, topped off with scrambled eggs.
And when I take a close look into the pan - I think I'll pass on dessert. That meal could at least serve another two :D

And it tastes great, too!

A suprisingly good spice for your bloody meat of choice is Brown Sugar, apply with seasonign salt, garlic and whatever other spices you prefer (cracked peppers personally), sear to appropriate bloodiness and consume.

Too bad I'm a poor college student now and can't afford that kind of amazing goodness.

For dinner tonight? Most likely nothing, I feel like death at the moment, and it has a lot to do with the fact I've got about six hours of sleep in the last sixty, and I ingested well over two liters of beer last night, after a meal of incredibly spicy mexican food. I did not sleep at all last night, and I've been at work since nine o'clock this morning (right now it's a quarter past three.) After I get off work at five I've got a half hour bus ride, followed by a twenty minute walk home I'll be lucky to get onto my front yard before I pass out, let alone into my room.

A suprisingly good spice for your bloody meat of choice is Brown Sugar, apply with seasonign salt, garlic and whatever other spices you prefer (cracked peppers personally), sear to appropriate bloodiness and consume.

Yeah- that gives it that tangy/sweet outer char.

I know some people that marinate a steak in Pepsi, but-call me stubborn,I've never been willing to try that.I'm happy with what I use.

*offers fried chicken*

This is gooood.

ooh, I might actually have to use some Tuition money to experiment with that one.
A simple steak with pepsi will not do! It needs to be decided if Dr. Pepper is an acceptable strak marinade, or regular coka-cola. How about off brands (remember, poor college student). And then (money permitting, which it already doesn't, but whatever) We'll need to try the light sodas (Sprite, Mountain Dew etc.) And Flavored Sodas too!
Who needs na education when there's oddly marinated steaks to be had!

I only let Mr. Salt and Dr. Pepper come close to my steak :D Sure, go ahead. It's not that different from just putting sugar on it! And please share what it tastes like.

(If only they had Dr. Pepper in Germany available everywhere, I'd be a happier fellow. I love that stuff!!!!!)

I'm still not willing to marinate a steak in soda.

another night without the wife & kids home- I have to flip a coin wether to go out or make something.

You've run out of the leftovers, have you? I know what you mean, last night's store-bought chicken cordon bleu was not a success, and we ate the leftover Chinese the night before. What to do, what to do?

Yep- they are done.

You reminded me there is a Chinese place in town I havent tried yet-and now I'm in the mood. Thanks!

I once used a 50-50 mix of Pepsi and ketchup with a roast, and it actually worked out pretty well.

You're braver than I am. I understand the soda has a tenderizing effect, but it just seems wrong to me.

I'm a dense guy.

I like fried chicken, watermellon, beans, collard greens, corn bread, and fried tatoes, that doesn't make me black, it makes me from the south. :D

You mean Chris Rock lied to me? :eek: Oh noes, now I'm sad :(

It does. Damn thing fell apart using just a fork. Sodas also work with chicken. I'm sure you've heard of beercan chicken. You can also do it with soda. I've used orange soda before, and it makes the chicken moist and tender, with just a li'l hint of the orange flavour. Veddy nice. :)

maybe thats more why I'm averse to trying it- I dont like tender meat- I like it to have texture and resliency. I prefer flank steaks or shell steaks to tenderloin or prime rib. I dont like when the meat is pasty and grey.

Beercan chicken is amazing. It's almost worth wasting a can of beer for.

It's only pasty and grey if you overcook it. I'm a "blood all over the plate" guy myself. :D

me too. And thats why we have bread.

My wife has never become used to me drinking from the cutting board.

Hummm, this thread is still up?

Well, again, whatever the Caf decides to feed us.

Look at you- no jello on your tray tonight.

And I though I was the only one.

I got a present of a few steaks from my parents yesterday (:D) and my roomies have already taken to leaving the room when I eat one.
haven't tries the soda thing yet. Will try it next time I feel the all consuming hunger for flesh coming on though.

Despite yesterday's plans to have corn on the cob tonight, I decided differently and went for a different supper: herring in cream sauce with cucumbers and onions in it, bread as a side-dish, and 1l Beck's to round it off. Pretty pleased with the result: happily fed and slightly drunk ;)

Alas, I did not get jello tonight.

We had Garlic "Chicken". Mashed "Potatoes", and Macaroni and "Cheese". Oh, happy day.

You are indeed confuuused! :D

And I believe he used those because it was highly processed food?

They were likely re-constituted food products...just add water and warm up.

Tonight is the first night I am allowed back into my kitchen, I am making Indian Taco's for dinner. I cooked the beans overnight I am making them into refried beans today, I will start to fry the homemade pitas soon, and the girls are helping me chop the tomatoes, onions, lettuce, olives, and shred the cheese.

When hubby gets home all I will have to do is warm up the beans and cook the meat.

;)

That sounds good- my kids love tacos. Its Friday night and I may resume home-made pizza though, as the weather is fine for using the oven.

How very ... coincidental, we were just talking about homemade pizza last night! There's an article in the latest Cooking Light on making pizza and I was feeling kind of inspired. And yeah, the next couple of days promise to be cooler than the last few, so we may just fire the oven up to 500 degrees. (Sorry, Smunkee, we will be wallowing in gluten, I'm afraid.)

hey if I can't eat it somebody better, my family (extended family) are all wheat farmers.

We do homemade pizza (http://maindish.allrecipes.com/az/RICCRSTFRPIZZ.asp) about once a month, I bake 2 and freeze one in individual servings for the kids to have at pizza parties.

from here on in, we'll make it each Friday night. The kids are totally involved-puching down the dough and then topping the pies with their own choices.

Make sure you get coarse ground corn meal to spread on the stone- it makes the pies way more easy to slide out and adds that little authentic taste.
