Dinner tonight

15 years ago

I found a recipe that sounded sooooo good, I bought the ingred. and am going to make it tonight. Roasted rosemary chicken on a bed on roasted root vegetables.

Melt some butter with some S&P, and dried rosemary. Rub all over the chicken. Pierce a whole lemon, so some of the juices can come out and put inside o the bird. On the bottom of a roasting pan, put chunks of potatoes, carrots &parsnips. Pour some chicken broth over veggies and place bird on top. Cover with foil and put in a pre-heated 450* oven and roast for 20 mn. Remove foil baste bird with broth, and cook 80 mn more.Chicken is done when a meat thermometer registers 175-180* in thigh meat. My mouth is watering just typing about it. I'll be drooling like mad when I smell it cooking later this aft. noon.

What are ya-all having today?

Oh that sounds good. I think I will make myself some instant mashed pot, a new york strip steak and some buttered peas. I hate cooking for one.

I think I'll have a couple of left-over burritos from Jae's
recipe. They were very good, but made ten, so they will go into the freezer, too.

That sounds lovely! I'm glad the folks doing the cooking remembered what day it was and made a special meal for all of you.

I made braised lamb shanks with polenta. First time with that recipe and while good, didn't have the flavor intensity I had imagined :-( Have more than enough leftovers so will try to freeze most of it. Not sure what to do to zip things up more........ I often make my own version of farmer's casserole but with home fry potatoes (and onions, ham, etc.) so no advance prep and no baking - just pan fried. I just fry an egg to go with. I guess that is more like a ham hash. But it makes a fast and tasty breakfast or dinner!! ps. green chili has no tomato base. Often called 'white chili', it can have green chilis (mild) or tomatillos to give it color. And is usually made with poultry rather than beef.

That sounds like a German thing. The way I have had it is that the prune is wrapped in dough and the cooked like that. I guess your family just shortcut it, since it is really the same thing, just in a different form. That is much the origin of Penn Dutch slippery pot pie. Instead of actually making a pot pie they just slipped pieces of the dough into the hot pot of stew. It is easier and quicker and really the same thing. Last week I made for the second time some Momos, which are filled dumplings. It seems to be a popular thing around that part of the world that includes Tibet. Darn, they were good! Thinking of that again today. They are like Goyza dumplings. It is an acquired skill to fill and form the noodles. You use lots of cilantro, ginger and garlic. It seems that a lot of cultures have some kind of a filled noodle or dumpling or peroige or ravioli.

I seldom see ground beef in supermarkets with the hard white fat that makes it juicy when it melts. They throw in all the connective tissue, which isn't fatty, just so there's something white in there to pass off as fat. Fatty hamburger isn't necessary in a recipe like chili where you brown the meat, but for meatballs, meatloaf, and burgers, you need hard white fat. With the right amount of fat, the meatballs will be light and a bit spongey. I'm buying my ground beef from a meat market now because they trim the meat and they grind the hard white fat along with the muscle meat. I've thought of buying a metal meat grinder like my mother had but I have nowhere to attach it. I would save the fat trimmings from a ribeye steak and grind it with well-trimmed chuck.

The crock pot has the beginnings of bean and sausage stew.

Usually made with white (canelli) beans..but I had 2lbs of dried pintos in the pantry..so I cooked those..and they'll go in closer to dinner time.

And still had more than half the pintos that have ham chunks in them and will be another meal this week, plus refried beans too.

Oh that sounds SO good Dottie! Let us know how it tasted.
I've got a roast beef in the oven, having carrots and onions around it.

Oh that chicken sounds wonderful, how was it?

We had a rotisserie chicken, corn and wild rice. I had a salad with minimum on the corn and rice....it was good. I have the carcass cooking into soup now, for oriental chicken egg drop soup.

It's leftovers for us tonight--turkey, potato casserole, green beans and blueberry salad. That should be about the end of it although I still have half a turkey breast in the freezer. I should've cooked the carcass today, but I'll do it in the morning.

That roasted chicken sounds good--especially the roasted root vegetables. Yum!

I just love wild rice. I still have one bag of Jasdip's wild rice soup in the freezer, but I'm saving it for a special occasion. :-)

Terri, your dinners always make me wish I was eating at your house.

The roasted chicken on root veggies was real good. Next time I will season the veggies before roasting. Being a person who likes to get a lot for my money. When I picked out the lemon to put inside the chicken, I got the largest one I could find, LOL, it was way too large for the chicken cavity. I had to cut it in pieces and then only 3 of the 4 pieces fit, but boy was there good lemon flavor to the chicken and even a hint of it on the veggies. Hubs liked it, so the recipe is a keeper, and we will get at least 3 meals from it.

I made the Bear Creek navy bean soup and added ham. It seems like it needs something else though....

You know when nobody feels like cooking when we have hotdogs and french fries.

Patti -- your LEFTOVERS sound better than my cooking!

What's in a blueberry salad?

Tonight I had sesame chicken (takeout Chinese -- I'm starting to try the same dish at a variety of Chinese places so I find a go-to place). There was a ton of chicken in it, but no veg! A few places I've gotten it from elsewhere usually have broccoli. I'd be willing to give up some meat for a bit of veg in there!

Dottie, did you cook the chicken the whole time at 450*?

Hi Jasdip, yeah, I was a little concerned, and I did keep an eye it, but I did cook it at that temp, and it was pretty good. I really liked the hint of lemony taste. Also, I would season the bird and veggies a little more than called for.

Dottie, how big was your chicken? I'm thinking about the time it takes to roast. Harry's DD and family will be here for a week in April and I'm planning my menus and that sounds really good. They have a lot of "I don't eat" problems which can drive a cook crazy, but your chicken dish would be just right! There will be six of us for dinner every night so if anyone has any ideas for a gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, MSG-free, garlic-free, shellfish-free dinners, PLEASE, I beg you to share!!!!

Oh, golly, Patti43, i don't remember how much it weighed, but the one I had was pretty small, I wouldn't think it was over 1 1/2 lbs. But the recipe can be made with a larger bird, and enough veggies to feed the gang.
