storyofmylife · 05-05-2010, 10:15 PM

went to a country buffet..... my daughter took me out and we ate everything!

Gemme · 05-05-2010, 11:35 PM

A small green salad and it was *supposed* to be black bean soup, but I'd never used the mix before and it turned out like brown cement.

Ick.

Soooo, the pots came out and the pasta went on the stove.

In the end, I had that salad plus a small burger patty with sauteed peppers of all kinds, colors and levels of hotness on a bed of whole wheat pasta. Sprinkle with reduced fat authentic Mexican cheese and the world is better again.

Gemme · 05-06-2010, 03:37 PM

I don't know yet but I suspect it will have something to do with the whole wheat pasta I made extra of yesterday, the romaine and red onions I picked up today, and maybe some of the shrimp I have frozen.

Is it dinner time yet?

katzietootle · 05-06-2010, 05:29 PM

2 TBS of non-fat mozzarella cheese

Made such a big pot i have three night's worth.

Blade · 05-07-2010, 07:04 PM

Calabash shrimp
Baked tater
salad

Gonna have my ice cream later

Enchantress · 05-07-2010, 07:09 PM

Definitely not pudding.

Instead, I believe I will make a wonderful salad with chick peas, artichoke hearts, olives, feta and possibly a bit of grilled chicken (drizzled with a vinagrette).

Delicious!

apretty · 05-07-2010, 08:53 PM

let me tell you about the rainbow swiss chard!

people don't apparently know what to do with chard, so let me tell you: first you wash it well, remove the stems (take a knife and just slide it down the stem, the leaves peel right off and it makes you look all chef-like), set the leaves aside, dice, saute only the stems in a tbl of olive oil and a pinch of sea salt, when they start to turn, add the leaves that you've sliced/or ripped apart into 3 or so inch pieces. stir, add another pinch of salt, turn down the heat, cover and enjoy in 5 minutes. (i turn off the heat and let it wilt for 10 minutes but i like my vegetables on the brink of steamed and raw, personal preference.)

another variation is to skip the olive oil and use a couple of strips of diced bacon in the bottom of the pot, saute the diced stems in the bacon fat, and same as above--add the leaves after, since they cook so fast. --and what isn't good in bacon fat?

i just personally feel bad eating pork because pigs know their names, and are very dog-like.

*also, a dash of red/wine vinegar really brings out the flavor in the chard, once it's plated--my parents would make the bacon-variety chard but i didn't develop a taste for the vinegar until much later; i say use sparingly.

and low-fat buttermilk mashed potatoes. (never use black pepper on mashed potatoes, it's white, only. trust. and i was lazy or i would have added some fresh oven-roasted garlic.)

--> i cooked because 1. i can but pretend that i don't know how, and 2. we're going to the vegetable co-op tomorrow and the fridge needs to be organized <3
