Something Chinese. I'm going to China Town in a little while for the Chinese New Year festivities, parade and fireworks. I'll be restocking my spice cupboard while I'm there.

[Mopsie]

Last night I was feeling lazy and had chips and soda for dinner.

Tonight I'm going to a friend's house to watch the Super Bowl. The menu plan is burgers on the grill, baked beans, and deviled eggs. It's like a summer time picnic in February!

[Butterbean]

I dunno. I have thin bottom round steak that needs to be used up. Any suggestions?

[Chad]

Whatever yells at me first when I open the fridge.

[Happyfemme]

Chicken with cheddar and bacon

[Martina]

I don't know, but I want chopped chicken liver. Who knows? Something dull probably.

[C0LLETTE]

I don't know, but I want chopped chicken liver. Who knows? Something dull probably.

That's cause you've never egg salad made with bits of grieven (gribenes). Here's a crash course in schmaltz and grieven that may change your life forever.

http://www.foodmayhem.com/2009/04/schmaltz-grieven.html

[weatherboi]

Last night was grilled pork tenderloin, roasted garlic rice, and fresh green peas.

Tonight, for all you followers of my "Last Ditch School of Cooking", we will be having an "Indian" curry: fry some chicken parts, add a can of curry. Might work well with Uncle Ben's Minute Rice.

[Butterbean]

Goulash, which I made this fall and froze for a day like today when I want something good but am too lazy or busy to make it.

[nycfem]

Strange people have strange dinners.

So tonight I did some experimenting in the kitchen that came out pretty unappetizing. I ate it anyway because I don't waste food. I'm almost embarrassed to post what I thought might make a good recipe, but alas I'm with friends here, and I need to process this one.

First I baked brussel sprouts with balsamic vinegar and garlic. Smelled good when they came out, could have been the start of something decent. It always fools me that everything smells so good as long as it's coming out of an oven. Anyway...

So then I stir-fried them with carrots, bell pepper, yellow onion, scallions, tofu shirataku noodles, and sechzuan sauce. That might have been okay but now is where I hang my head in shame. I added:

maple syrup, peanut butter, curry powder, cucumber, lettuce (!), hot chili sauce, and lime juice.

I have a terrible tendency to get excited and overpower things with a mishmash of clashing flavors.

Said BB kindly, "Maybe you could try a cooking class, Honey."

[Okiebug61]

There are times major canned junk food is on my list. Tonight is one of those nights. I am going to chow down on Hormel canned tamales with crackers and ketchup. Red of course is having something much more healthy but will not reveal it to me.

My grandmother used to make this dish she called Schwaki casserole that we all liked. It was like lasagna with layers of ground beef, tomato sauce,and bacon and cheese on top. Total yum! It's funny how strong food memories from childhood are.

[Canela]

I had a really delish burrito from Chipotle Grill!

It had carnitas (pork) and chicken, pico de gallo, brown rice, beans, guacamole and lettuce and shredded white cheese, all wrapped up in a flour tortilla.

I think it is a pretty healthy balanced meal. I mean it's got protein, veggies, dairy, bread, and an ice cold coke to wash it all down...lol...okay so the coke might not be so healthy...

It was so huge I ate less than half of it! And I don't mind telling you I really did try!

I think I like it better than FreeBirds!

OMG Michelle Obama looked beautiful greeting Hollande for the State dinner. Bet the food will be great too. sigh.

[RockOn]

Happily crunching my corn flakes and milk at this moment. Kevin is really eyeing my bowl when I put it down. He knows when the cornflakes are gone, he will get to lap up the milk. Poor thing, I believe he may think I am starving him but the vet at the Emergency Animal Clinic told me Sunday that I MUST get 30 pounds off my boy. Then went on to say no more than 1500 calories a day and that includes milk bone treats, table food and everything I let him put in his mouth. Kevie does not complain but the let-down in his eyes when I put the dry dog food down tells his story. He is a pretty funny fellow - you can always know what he is thinking because he wears his feelings on his face. Never any guesswork! :)

I'm sure it doesn't look like all that to some of the culinary wizards that frequent this thread, lol, but to me it is a huge success! I didn't use a bread machine or even an electric mixer; and I didn't burn the place down in the process!

I was looking for an alternative to store-bought bread not only for savings, but also to cut out additives and preservatives. (I know the flour isn't really healthy, but it's a start).

My first ever attempt at baking bread from scratch and it tastes sooo good!

So proud of myself this morning! :cheesy:

If you were closer, I would bring you some fresh outta the oven. lol, I'm always trying to pawn off my cooking to no avail and I've finally got a taker and she's 50 thousand miles away, for crying out loud!

Ooh, English muffins are good, too, though. The nooks, the crannies, the butter! Yum!

[stargazingboi]

We had Olive Garden for two with 2 bowls of soup, breadsticks, 2 parmesan crusted chicken entrees with bowtie pasta and 2 desserts.

[stargazingboi]

tonight we had sushi from this place called Ninza....sooo good

[Jesse]

Tonight I am having chicken breast with a few veggies.

I have a Boston Butt pork roast in the fridge marinating that I will slow cook for tomorrow's dinner: pulled pork with Mojo sauce. I swear I could be happy with just drinking the sauce, but the pork will give the Mojo something to cling to while I devour both. YUM! No idea what I will have alongside of the pork.

[firegal]

Sothwest salad with that Zesty dressing ...again :byebye: um they were 2 dollars off if you got 2 of them!

[Corkey]

Homemade chicken soup.

[ahk]

Last night: We made a low-carb pizza crust (mozz cheese, cream cheese, egg, almond flour) and with all the toppings we enjoy. Pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, yellow pepper, and homemade marinara with lots of basil.

Garlic shrimp with sauteed linguini....

[Mopsie]

A friend invited me over for homemade Kung Pao chicken. Yummo!

[stargazingboi]

[nycfem]

Not tonight (boring) but last night for Valentine's:

cold tofu appetizer, three rolls of vegetarian sushi, and delicious fried ice cream

The fried ice cream was sooo good: breading underneath the fried outside, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and Maraschino cherries :)

[Jesse]

No Mojo Pork for me tonight. :( I got a late start so it's leftovers for me tonight. Once the garlic has finished roasting, I can put the sauce together and slow roast the pork tonight. I decided to also make some garlic infused olive oil and some compound butter with garlic and Mexican oregano leaves while my house smells like a garlic factory. :)

[Sweet Bliss]

why doesn't some one invent garlic butter perfume? or carmelized onion eau de toilette?

:rofl: another million dollar idea.

[stargazingboi]

something with chicken...outside of that I have no clue

[Sparkle]

I'm making my BFF his birthday dinner this evening:

same canned soup as usual with crackers and milk

Holiday today ... soup hit the spot ... my throat starting getting sore around mid-morning, then around noon, started aching all over so Kevin and I came on home ... that dog loves to nap so he was good with crawling in the sack mid-day for a nap. Feel somewhat better, I think it is just a head cold - not the flu. Worked outside 2 weekend days in a row wearing shorts and I may have brought this on myself - afternoons were chilly

Make sure you take care of this with OTC meds, liquids, nourishment, and old fashioned remedies such as vapor treatments of towel-over-the-head- breathing in menthol from a pot of hot water. The key is to never let colds get into your chest. I battled this thing for two weeks in January and overcame a sever cold before it overcame me.

[macele]

How do you make your spaghetti squash?

Tonight I'm making a beef stir fry with lots of veggies and we will have spaghetti squash with herbed butter on the side. Yum!

[SoulShineFemme]

How do you make your spaghetti squash?

I take the easy route and cut it in half, remove seeds and cook in the microwave. (about 15 mins. ) Then spoon it out. Tonight I am going to melt butter and add fresh parsley, drizzle it on the squash then toss in some parmesan.

I have baked it in the oven face down at 400 degrees also but it takes longer. Microwaving is easier but I laugh when I cook it that way because my sister killed our circa 1985 microwave with spaghetti squash just after we were raving about how long the thing had lasted. :p

[Okiebug61]

slow cooker paprika chicken thighs with veggies.

[Butterbean]

If I'm not too bogged down with my deadline today, it's going to be chicken parmesan finally.

[CherylNYC]

Rare london broil, steamed spinach, and roasted potatoes. Desert is a rice crispy treat with a layer of marshmallow fluff, sweetened shredded coconut, and semisweet chocolate chips. Because a rice crispy treat doesn't have enough negaive nutritional value all by itself.

[JAGG]

[SoulShineFemme]

Tonight I am doing chicken fajitas with onion, red and green peppers and home made guacamole. I'm going to try to make my own corn tortillas.(I can't seem to find corn tortillas here in Ontario.)

[QueenofSmirks]

I don't know yet, but something delicious! It's been a hell of a long week!

[Butterbean]

That's a good question. I've plundered most of the leftovers throughout the week. It's going to have to be takeout or the "snacking on something on the hour every hour" method of dinner tonight.

[Chad]

Hi,
