What's for dinner Thurday?

13 years ago

Tonight we're just having a simple pasta with garlic and a tiny bit of red pepper flakes sauteed in olive oil. Add the pasta, fresh chopped parsley and freshly grated parmesan and toss with tongs. We'll have a lettuce wedge salad with a balsamic vinegar/mustard/honey dressing I learned from my stepdaughter and garlic bread with. Harry really likes the pasta ;-)

Mine was delicious!

Oh so fresh was the tamale and a scrumptuous soft beef taco rolled up in foil.

Love that place!

WalnutCreek, I'll have to try pork chops in the Air Fryer. I have one but the only thing I've liked so far that I made in it was "fried" chicken". Beet chips just fell into the bottom and charred, fish was dried out, potato chips were fiddly and half were crunchy but the rest were not. (sigh) After the beet chip fiasco I shoved it onto a pantry shelf and haven't touched it since, I'll have to drag it back out. Yesterday I took Mother some roasted chicken and twice baked potatoes, the chicken was brined 24 hours and high heat roasted ala AnnT. It was really good, extremely moist and even the breast meat wasn't dry. I also made a big batch of split pea soup, Mother loves it. I had to use yellow peas because I had those and the store didn't have any green split peas (or any other dried beans) in stock. sleevendog, your garden is growing well, and Elery would love an artichoke pizza. Neely, stay well, I'm glad your sons are delivering food, I stopped and did Mother's grocery shopping yesterday and dropped off groceries along with her prepared meals. Jasdip, I'm glad you're just "hunkering down" and there's no reason for quarantine! As for that leprechaun, we didn't catch him, but he dropped some of his treasure, a couple of strings of beans, a few of those "gold" colored dollar coins and some glittery hair clips. Maci insists that she heard "tiny little footsteps in the night" and nearly caught the leprechaun eating all the chocolate, LOL. Annie

Wow, 4 years. Such a cute age. And a cute cake. We have 5 under 5 with another on the way via 3 nephews. I meant 'passive' haha. Meaning, "you do your thing vegetables. I have no time to babysit." Next day it had a lasagna vibe with the top layer of the pasta. I usually make a harvest lasagna every early Fall...right around the corner. Another pic of the shrimp salad lettuce cups fell from the clouds, A couple weeks ago i sous vide four small sirloins. An easy taco pulling two out of the freezer and thawing with a dry brine, then a cast iron sear. Tossed in kimchi. Next day made a sirloin Banh mi for DH. I had a sirloin salad bowl. Side bean/corn salad About to hit the end of the Summer thread...bummer.

Dinner last night was a first -- I made a pot of chicken soup when it was 100 degrees or more outside (we've stopped watching). Special request of son upstairs with covid. I figure today to tomorrow will be d-day for me, so waiting to see. Tonight will be either leftovers of the soup or verde chicken enchiladas and spanish rice made the night before or whatever DH makes. Could be BLT's -- not really into cooking today.

No interesting cooking for people over here, but I’ve been cooking tasty food for dogs :-) We’re in Berkeley taking care of our friends’ very elderly and reportedly on his last legs little dog. I am, of course, determined that he will not expire on my watch, and when he eats enthusiastically I feel better. So, what to feed him? The base is a tasty homemade chicken stock, made from a roasted chicken, carrots, celery, onion - just like you’d make a chicken stock for yourself. We cook a batch of rice with that stock. Other chicken is browned then simmered, and minced up. His kibble is soaked in more stock. Then some more cooked chicken and carrots get pureed with stock into a sort of gravy-paste. Rice, kibble, and gravy are mixed, then briefly warmed in the microwave. Finally, crisp bacon is crumbled on top. I am pleased to say that Elderly Dog positively gobbles his food, cleaning his bowl reliably enough that I can give him his pills crushed in the food. I’d happily eat it myself, actually, except that there’s no salt or spice. Well, I don’t really like kibble. All the fixings are in stored in Tupperware so feeding doesn’t take long.

Oooh, I just love tamales. That sounds so good. I like crunchy tacos, though. Glenda, been meaning to ask you how you like your new door(?) with the blinds in between the glass. Are they as neat as I seem to think?

Sue, vegetable soup is the best thing in cold weather--at least to me. We're supposed to get down to freezing tonight. I am so NOT looking forward to that!

I tried a new recipe today. Instructions said it was better cooked the day before or at least in the morning. Corn Chowder. I had some leftover cooked chicken breast leftover that I cut up and added to it a few minutes before it was done. I made it early afternoon and heated it up for my evening meal. Tasted pretty good.

Loving the new windows in my french doors. What I'm enjoying most is the new window in living room that has a scenic view and is more like a picture window to me.

I can feel the difference with the temps going down and living room, plus my bedroom is much warmer.

Thanks for asking.

We had our eye dr appts today so after we left and were both basically blind we just headed over to Black Eye Pea and had the fried catfish, I had sweet potatoes with mine and a couple of onion rings. Very good.

Oh, your dinner reminded me of how much I love pasta with garlic and red pepper flakes. Lots of both! That's what I need with this stinking bronchitis! That will be on the menu tomorrow, I think.

Just a quick pizza here. I went to the doc and got some meds, so hopefully they'll kick in in the next couple of days.

We have steamed rice, pork egg rolls, and orange chicken. It was so good.
