Darn, it seems like a slow day here in NSGland. Maybe it's because I was home sick on Thursday and Friday so I spent more time than I normally do here. Maybe it's because I'm bored and the wife is recording some horror movies from TV on to a DVD.

So, what's for supper?

I'm making some chicken stroganoff and serving it over some Amish noodles. Y'all are invited. :fluffle:

Either Brats or Burgers and Fries on the grill.

Ahhhh, cheddar Brats on the grill.

I think it's fried pork. It has a stick in it.. Possibly.. city chicken?

Tea, crumpets, and English Muffins?

Or fish n' chips?

Turkey and rice.

...I'm not sure.

We have a dining hall on campus, I guess I'll eat whatever's cookin' over there. The food's pretty good anyway, so no problems!

There was pasta and cheese involved. Other than that, I forget.

This thread. I mean..Spam, yea.

the first one. although I do know some brats that would be very interesting if I threw them on the grill...

Bangers and Mash?
Shepherd's Pie?
Spotted Dick?

Mi Goreng with onions, chili, vegetables and fried tofu. I threw some cashews into it as well. Very, very yummy. For dessert I had some "smulpaj (http://www.formapg.se/_upload/bok/lo/9153427742.jpg)" (lit. "crumb pie") with vanilla and banana custard. Also quite yummy.

My mom is in the area for work so we're gonna go out for either Mexican or BBQ....I don't care, I love both.

Spotted Dick?

WTF? :confused:

Instant noodles sounds OK with onions, vegetables, and fried tofu but when you add the Chili I have serious doubts about how good it was. Unless you mean chili powder and not American or Mexican chili.

Sure do. I've been in many and eat the local cuisine when I'm there, but I've never heard of that. Looks and sound good.

we had grilled salmon with green beans... it was good :)

and healthy :)

Instant noodles

They weren't "instant noodles" - they were proper noodles that I fried. I was going to make Nasi Goreng, but I only had basmati rice and I've found I don't like the result when I use that.

Why would I use USA "chili" in an Asian dish? I used capsicum annuum - "chili peppers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilli_pepper)" (apparently) to you.

Well, I had to ask. By the way, my wife and I eat a lot of "foreign foods." When I went to Malaysia, I brought home three cookbooks. We also have cookbooks from Spain, Italy, England, Turkey and a few other countries. We are not steak, potatoes, and hamburger people. We do a lot of shopping at Asian and Middle Eastern markets.

By the way, Jasmine rice is also excellent. Anyone who thinks American short grain rice or Uncle Ben's rice is good isn't living. Oh, and that instant rice they sell here is worse than eating paste.

Hey! This isn't a bashing thread. It is a thread about "What's for supper." If you want to bash anyone take it to a different thread. :mad:

Mom made some sort of lasagna-flavored hamburger helper or something, which I didn't like, with peas, which I did like.

Apparently some sort of frozen and now thawed popcorn chicken with stir-fry.

Which I will now consume.

Hopefully with delight.

Most likely roasted chicken breast with rice and moosetracks fudge for desert.

After looking at the sad state of my pantry, I decided on Burger King. Whopper, some onion rings, and a Dr. Pepper. I might have a bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream for desert.

An omelet with cheese, green peppers, onions, white toast and cherry jam.

Were those in the omelet too? :p

Something involving potatoes and possibly chicken.

Otherwise I have no idea, because my sister refused to let me into the kitchen, much like she usually does.

Here's an example:

No, but they all ended up in the same place anyhow, so I don't suppose it would make much difference.

You know, Fass, I'm really beginning to like this new joking version of you. And you even ignored ATI!

(Admittedly ATI was just hilariously stupid and not worth a response, but it's remarkable restrain on your part given the way you usually act.)

Pfft, you're not people. :p

Thanks.... I think.... :D

had crispy pan fried noodles with chicken. Washed it down with some stella.

Thumbs up.

It's reserved for only the most importunate people who try to troll me. TAI was amusing in his attempts at first, but when it grew old he just didn't have the wherewithal to give it a rest, so I had to make it happen. It was all very meh.

What a shame. But then I never put anyone on ignore for long, mainly because my curiosity, common sense, and courtesy prompts me to listen to what they have to say even if it's just something really stupid.

Ah, but this was in the fora, through TG, over instant messaging... and as it left the amusing stage, it had to be stopped.

I honestly 100% don't know what he is talking about.

I havn't talked to Fass online (on MSN, me him and Europa Maxima used to chat) for a whole year and we used to be...for lack of better wording, friendly on MSN because we kept it away from politics. I can't ever remember TGing him let alone trolling him over TGs.

Buaha.. I find this amusing, not due to your feeble flame attempt, but because when I read it it states "...says the troll" and who is saying "...says the troll", but you? Ha.

It'd be amusing if I were a troll - but I'm not. Rather, the people who've tried to flame me so far have been far less civil than I have been. So spare me the 'amusement'.

we had sack lunches for dinner due to our schedule today

carrots
celery
peanut butter (for dipping)
apples
cheese sticks
beef jerky
lemonade

yeah, it's not the most healthy lunch ever, but we don't eat fast food so once a week I figure we can get away with it.

I had Communion today. :)

Well, tonight we had some steak with some noodle thing. I'm not sure what it is called but it was good. Lunch was sandwhiches. Breakfast I don't eat anymore due to time restraints.



Although normally I eat Beefaroni for lunch, but thats cause i'm at work throughout the week.

Holy crap, who gives that much of a shit to take it offsite?

I don't remember the details of how it got started, but somehow he and one of the other posters that was in his gang (not the xenophobic Norwegian, but the xenophobic South African, can't recall the name) ended up on either my skype or MSN-list.

It was... for lack of a better word, "respectful" in the beginning (although not pleasant) and as I said I found it amusing for a while because TAI would profess that IRL he wasn't like he portrayed himself in his forum posts and I didn't have reason to doubt it until after a while when the xeno- and homophobia (of course) resurfaced. Then comments were made. His NS posts got more belligerent. He sent me scantily-clad pictures of himself and asked me my opinion of his appearance (yeah, wtf, I know), of USA weaponry, of USA presidents he liked (yeah, wtf, I know), he would start writing about quite personal issues about himself that I won't share because I'm not that mean, but that he wanted my advice on - again all the while being as I assume he is in the post in this thread that I can't see.

It was all just getting so, so weird and paradoxical that way and in the end I don't remember what happened exactly and what made me do it, but I blocked him throughout and learnt my lesson not to make this jump off-site with people like that. :\

That's just as well, you can't see what he said about the inferiority of Sweden and multilingualism.

Did he actually say any of those things? Oh, I don't know...I guess there's only way to find out. ;)

Dinner-wise: turkey. It was quite good.

Well yeah, of course it was much more personal than a public forum...we all would chat about more personal things (feelings, sexual encounters, relationships....ect) I don't really see a problem with this and I hold nothing here against Fass nor against Europa Maxima.

I gotta be honest, I kinda stopped caring about halfway through Fass' post.


On topic- Tortellini Alfredo with two (one and half too many, but if I didn't use the other one I'd have to freeze it and then I'd forget it was there...in retrospect that wouldn't have been so bad) Italian sausages and garlic cheese bread. It's the closest thing to cooking I can do, but really I just warmed a bunch of separate things up and combined them.

Now I'm stuffed with pasta...

I gotta be honest, I kinda stopped caring about halfway through Fass' post.
Fair enough...as this was turning into a gossipy tv drama...I just wanted to present both sides...but now that they are there, I'll let this die.

You and I both.

lemon chicken and rice. Cinnamon rolls for desert. :)

I tend to eat my big meal in the middle of the day, when the engine is firing on all tens and can burn it off.

I'm considering making a nice grilled cheese sandwich (really grilled, not pan-fried) and a cup of ginger-carrot soup. I have colby jack, brie and 9-grain bread to make it with.

baked catfish with lemon pepper and roasted potatoes, also steamed veggies and tea to drink.

Chanterelle soup with croutons à la provençale, with cucumber, cherry tomato and charlotte onon sallad. Skipped dessert today as the soup was very filling.

right now, dried cherries, probably some sushi later and/or a vending machine run seeing as I'm at work til 11 (EST)

that sounds delightful.

that sounds delightful.

It was, but it was also really easy to make. The salad was basically chopping and mixing everything and than pouring some oil, vinegar and spices over it, while the soup I made in my blender. The croutons, though, had to be fried, but I went with bread thranches (slices) instead of making cubed croutons. Rubbing them with garlic and some other spices = provençale.

So, not everything has to be all that advanced to be good.

I had shrimp with tartar sauce and a baked potato with melted cheese and bacon bits.

Tonight, it was lamb loin chops on the barbecue, with steamed sweet potatoes and some broccoli tossed in olive oil and garlic, and a glass of 1% milk.

A quick and easy marinade for the lamb:

3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons of sugar
1/2 a teaspoon of salt
1/2 a teaspoon of fresh cracked pepper
the grated zest of a whole lemon (or whole lime)
three cloves of garlic, chopped fine and mashed into paste
a three inch sprig of rosemary (pull off all the leaves and chop them fine, while tossing away the twig part).

Just smear this thick paste over the meat and leave it sit anywhere from one hour before cooking to 24 hrs before cooking.
Delicious, I swear.

I had pasta with meat sauce and a salad.
I feel inadequate here, but my stomach disagrees.
