What's for Dinner?

[Rosie]

Dinner tonight: Hawaiin pizza

Wow, that sounds cool. I'm envisioning ham and pineapples for some reason, am I right?

Absolutely! except with canadian bacon...it's the families favorite kind of pizza

Grits?

I didn't know what grits were. When I was living in Florida, I used to play racketball at my friends apartment complex and then after we were done his girlfriend would make us lunch. So I happened to have some linguisa (portuguese sausage) from California at home so I told her to make that with the grits on day. Hmmm Linguisa and grits.

Grilled cuy.

Wow. A friend of mine told me a story about her and her husband going to a park one day. There was a crowd around this hibatchi so of course, she and her husband go stand and look too. At first, she had no idea what was going on until she really looked at the grill and saw that the family was cooking some kind of rodent. When she asked someone in the crowd what it was they told her rat, but the family kept saying no "kew, kew" (at least that is what she heard. Now that I see that, and googled it, that must have been what they were cooking. I'm going to have to tell her.

My mother couldn't cook to save her life -- one time she dropped her cookbook into a boiling soup kettle, and that was the best meal we ever had. So I had to learn to cook as a matter of self-survival -- that???

lol lol That's about where my mum was at!

A nice Portuguese barbeque of pork roast or chuck roast marinated in wine, paprika and pickling spice, then hung by a hook over coals.

We usally start off with coffee while I'm cooking:
Tonight= what's left of the bannock I baked, shepards pie (layers of lean well-drained seasoned beef in gravy, vegies, mashed potatoes, cheddar) and a shot of Drambuie to wash it down.
Tomorrow= boxty (potato crepe) filled with shredded corned beef and topped
with a sharp Scottish cheese creamy sauce, soda bread with currants, maybe raspberry salad.
Fri= it's supposed to storm, so I might make mutton stew or cock-a-leekie.

Me too Lizzie--if the recipe didn't have Cream of Mushroom soup or Onion Soup mix my mother didn't make it. I was in my 20s the first time I had broccoli.

Speaking of which, tonight I had a boneless pork chop with tomatoes, onion and white wine and a ton of broccoli with a bit of olive oil and herbs. No dessert though--I need to plan better!

Chicken and Dumplings...

...garden fresh green beans and a fresh salad. Some good German wine. My wife is awesome!!!:eusa_clap

Sadly right now I exist on mostly cereal. Don't get me wrong, I can cook....quite well so I'm told but I'm not very good at cooking for one. I'm used to feeding mass quantities of people so when it's just me I don't fare very well. So during the week it's usually a bowl of cereal with fruit for dinner and then I'll treat myself to take out from one of the local restaurants on fridays. Except when I'm in Atlanta. Then it's Scalini's for dinner where my bartender pours my ginger ale before I ask for it and has a menu waiting for me when she sees me walk through the door....so I guess at least once a month I've eaten real meals lol

Last night I attempted to make Garlic & Ginger Crusted Salmon.

Didn't turn out too bad, though I didn't realise cooked salmon was so "fishy." Salmon sushi is one of the least "fishy" so this was a surprise to me.

Last night it was Devilled Sausages with mash.

We're on the same cooking wave length; I just made my special poached salmon steaks, with fresh steamed green beans & carrots, and oatmeal muffins.

I tossed a couple of pork loins on the smoker and let them go all day. along with some loaded mashed potatoes and spinach... not a bad dinner.

:fatty:

eta: Upon reflection, I should clarify that I did not eat 2 pork loins by myself. Most of it is in the fridge, now.

 

[imoldfashioned]

I tried a new recipe for cold eggplant/tomato/chicken sausage soup and boy it was good! Fresh cherry peach crisp with a dab of ice cream for dessert.

 

[Babydoll]

Dinner last night was skewers of chicken (marinaded in pineapple teriyaki sauce), zucchini, mushroom, sweet onion, tomato, and pineapple that were grilled, served with a side of steamed rice. YUM!

Not sure what tonight will be, but fresh cantalope will be dessert. MMMM!

 

[Smithy]

Last night was Chicken Vindaloo with garlic naan, raita, mango chutney and white and yellow rice. Indian's the best

 

[Rosie]

I had ginger grilled chicken and cabbage. I have to cut lots of stuff from my diet

Last evening for the kids and myself, I made tomato tortellini filled with chicken and spinach in a garlic tomato parmesian sauce. Accompanied by garlic toast. Whole California dates for dessert.
