The Kitchen Table

What's for dinner Monday?

14 years ago

Happy Labor Day, everyone. Katy and Justin got in last night and we sure are enjoying them. Right now, they're playing gin rummy with Harry. Then they're going to the pool for a while.

Dinner tonight will be Nita's pork roast with cherry sauce, coconut rice, broccoli and strawberries with ice cream. Katy can have milk products now since she takes Lactaid. Not a very "Labor Day" menu, but it's just too hot to be outside.

We'll be gone tomorrow and Wednesday, if someone wants to start the dinner post.

What are you having for dinner tonight?

Your dinner sounds delicious!

Miss Myra's along with everyone else.

Had my usual: smoked chicken salad, pickle spear and crackers.

Then treated myself to Bruester's for a scoop of chocolate lovers trash.

Had ribs left over from a prime rib I froze, so I'll put a little barbeque sauce over them and corn on the cob.

I fixed a big salad with all kinds of green stuff plus grapes, manderines, hard boiled eggs, sunflower seeds, toasted almonds. I whipped up a quickie wasabi mustard vinaigrette. Sometimes, a salad is the only thing that will do! But, I know that some of the meals mentioned tonight are going to be on our table soon. I love Mediterranean pasta....just think Greek instead of Italian. I always add canned artichokes to mine, along with the other usual ingredients. Wonderful with chicken or shrimp. You can use canned chopped tomatoes, too.

The weather here today was similar to yours, jasdip. We decided to go to the famous local seasonal 'dive' which opened for the season yesterday... a family business since 1938, I think. It's just a little shack with minimal cooking facilities (bbq sandwiches, hamburgs, hotdogs, fries) where you stand outdoors in line to order. They also have an ice cream side, but it's not open yet. You can do take-out or eat outdoors on picnic tables. It's near a busy intersection so always noisy, but the food is good and super cheap, so it's always busy. Totally tacky and totally fun. You'll see everything from tattooed grandmas on motorcycles to vice presidents in suits all standing in that line together, and today the lines were the longest I've ever seen! I chose a pork sandwich w/ bbq sauce, dill pickles, hot relish on the side (they make their own and it's really good) and fries. Totally happy here. :O)

We had leftovers from Mother's Day. I was not too hungry so I just had a grilled chicken thigh and a piece of my black raspberry pie. Had leftovers for lunch too. The weather here today was fairly nice, great breeze a little sprinkle once in awhile and some sun was out too. Right now it is 71 outside. Sue in Central Indiana

This is all sounding good. Jasdip, your dinner looks perfect for the rainy afternoon we're having. It's going to be leftovers here. I simmered browned pork blade steaks in liquid yesterday then had those with mashed potatoes and browned mushroom and onion gravy. Mixed greens with almonds and dried cherries, blue cheese dressing. There is plenty to do the same tonight if I make the salad again.

I loaded the slow cooker with a corned beef and red potatoes before we went out to hit the sales. I have a cabbage to add in to it.

Happy Labor Day to all too. Cheryl and I picked tomatoes and peppers this afternoon here and at Amber and Mike's. I will be very busy tomorrow canning salsa I hope. We just had pancakes for our supper. I am ready for bed as I will be up early.

We cleaned out the fridge tonight! We were at the pool for a few hours to end our summer, so this was quick!

2 leftover chicken breasts. Dh ate his plain, I sliced it up and made chicken tacos with salsa and tomatoes. Girls had some spaghetti and meatballs and brocoli. Dh also ate the slice of pizza from our Pool Party on Friday night with neighbors.

Not very exciting, but I HATE to waste food or money, so it was nice to use it all up!

I made peanut butter cookies with the Hershey kiss in the middle for dessert tonight. DH's favorite!

I am sure Katy and Jason will love that pork roast. Glad you are all having such a good time.

Dinner tonight was leftover liver and onions. Also cleaned out all the rest of the leftovers.

We have had lots of rain here today so am glad we didn't plan a BBQ.

We had a lazy Labor Day! Went to a late breakfast at a place called Billy's Cafe, great home fried potatoes and I had hash and eggs also! Later in the afternoon we went to the villages square and sat on one of the hotel's patios with a drink and had a view of the lake and Arnold Palmer golf course. Then we went to dinner at R.J. Gators and I had a Chicken Cordon Bleu Sandwich. We also put the top down on the car. It was a nice day, but hot.
