The Kitchen Table

What's for dinner 9/24?

15 years ago

I've been cleaning most of the day. I took every single thing off the bed and washed/dried it, including the mattress pad and pillow covers. That's all put back together and I cleaned our bedroom and both bathrooms. Then I swept and mopped the kitchen floor. I don't know what happened to me. I used to love to clean but now it puts me in a really bad mood!

Tonight we're having Mrs. Paul's batter-dipped fish filets, parsley little red potatoes and green peas. Then I'm going to bed!!!

I wish DH would eat fish. He won't eat any kind.

We are having another casserole. Chicken and wild rice. I need to use up the chicken I cooked up the other day.

Patti, you probably don't want to hear that your last line made me laugh. Sorry, but I can't help it.

I bought a big boneless pork loin the other day. Cut a bunch of pork chops out of it and a good-sized roast.
The end piece, I just labelled it as boneless pork.

I took it out of the freezer and am cutting it into chunks, season and stir-fry it with onions, carrots, cabbage and rice.
I use some Asian hot chili sauce and sesame oil in my stir fries.

Went all out last night... I've never done Chinese, except for an occasional stir fry, and I had a new cookbook :-) I made: Orange Chicken Shrimp in Lobster Sauce Kung Po Pork Served with Rice and some sort of oriental rice noodles, along with (purchased) eggrolls and fortune cookies. Emi and her boyfriend joined Gary and I for dinner and I received soooo many compliments. It took about 2 1/2 hours (of solid kitchen work by ME) to prepare the meal and another hour to clean up the huge amount of dishes and pans I used, so I won't be doing this often, despite the compliments. Mostly the recipes were simple, it was just co-ordinating timing and so on that was tough. The food was good, although a bit salty. The Orange Chicken was a bit of a disappointment (only to me) because I didn't like it nearly as well as I do restaurant Orange Chicken. I might have to look for a different recipe and try again. Anyway, a fun cooking and eating evening!

I tried a recipe from Craftyshe, Ravioli with Sausage. I didn't have any smoked sausage on hand and was too lazy to go out to get some so I used pepperoni and it was good that way too. I know the sausage will be great and will make it the right way next time! We had a lettuce salad and garlic toast. Frosted Pumpkin cookies for dessert. Easy and good, my kind of meal! This is what Craftyshe posted: I made this tonight.I like to saute sausage,green pepper & onion before putting into slow cooker.Yummy! ~*~Ravioli with Sausage Recipe~*~ 4 cups frozen cheese ravioli 1/2 pound smoked sausage, sliced 1 cup chopped green pepper 1/2 cup chopped onion 1 jar (26 ounces) meatless spaghetti sauce 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese In 4 qt.Slow cooker,combine all ingr. except parmesan cheese ;Mix well.Cover; cook on low setting for 5 to 6 hours.Sprinkle individual servings with cheese. 4 (1- 1/2c.) servings.

DH made porkchops on the grill, but he put a lot of spicy bbq sauce on it. They were okay, but packed a punch! Had egg noodles and mixed veggies on the side. I want to try a new recipe, but not quite sure how it will turn out. DH is picky, so he probably won't want it. Guess I'll make him eat the leftover porkchops and i'll eat my new creation? (Or some soup if it doens't turn out!) I have been very good and had a spinach salad each night for the past week or two.

Jasdip, when I read back I can see why you laughed. I was so darned tired when I posted I could barely keep my eyes opened. Plus I was feeling very put upon for not having any help. But now I have my second wind. Drat, I really want to sleep.
