What's for dinner Wednesday?

13 years ago

Tomorrow's the "big" day and I'm geared and ready. Did all my prep work today so I can spend time visiting with my DD and her family. Only thing left is the mashed potatoes. Have the casseroles ready for the oven. Had to rearrange things. I really wanted to make rolls, but I practically tore the kitchen apart looking for the jar of yeast. Never did find it. But Harry went to the store for me and got some Sister Shubert's. God bless him for that! Plus, I ended up making my own pumpkin pie. (Bought the pie crust though.) Don't even ask me how many dishes I've washed, dried and used over again!! But it's done now and I'm totally into myself for getting it done :-)

The last thing I want to do tonight is cook dinner, but I found just enough leftover tuna casserole in the frig for us tonight. We'll have steamed broccoli with it. I'm not even hungry from having to taste things today.

What time of day do you eat T-giving? I'm aiming for 2:00 since the kids have to drive back home tomorrow. DD has to work Friday. Do most people have it in the afternoon or in the evening??

What are you having for dinner tonight, or are you saving yourself for tomorrow??

Bee's son is coming for Caramel Apple Cocktails around 11:30 or twelve, and I'll put the shrimp in the oven. Lunch probably 12:30.

5 Guys, today, for a small bacon cheese burger and it was yumster.

When I did the dinner here, we usually had it about 4pm. We started it at that time when we had deer hunters in the family, and when that no longer applied, it was by then a habit. That way I didn't have to get up early to get the bird in the oven.

I had stuffed peppers and a slice of bread for my evening meal.

I'm donating blood tomorrow, so last night I had spinach. Tonight I'm having liver. Plus a multi vitamin. Because my diet has sucked lately. I just hope it's enough to get my iron up so I can donate. #26!

Sue, BLT's are so good! I'll have to buy some bacon and do that. Shirley, I didn't know that Ponderosas were still around. I'm glad that your dinner companion made up for the so-so food. OF, frozen pizza and Kool-Aid. Interesting combo Jim, bbq wings are good without the sauce! Even better with home-grown and CSA grown veggies. Raven, gotta love leftovers. We have leftovers regularly, as I don't know how to cook enough for just 2 people. Rhizo, I usually make pancakes from scratch with flour, egg and sour cream. Could I just use buttermilk in place of the sour cream?

It looks like everyone here did better than I did tonight. Again. Eggs over easy, sausage patties, yogurt with some blueberries (from Chile, so imported which I don't usually do), toast from the loaf of bread my neighbor surprised me with. My SIL and her husband stopped and stayed long enough the pork chops I'd planned to cook weren't going to work. I had two only, so couldn't start them sooner, had nothing to offer for two extra plates. She said she had thawed a piece of salmon just big enough for two herself, but still stayed and gossiped. Longer than I would have liked. My baking neighbor is a doctor, divorced and living singly. He's teaching himself to bake bread - It's improving ;) I didn't wait for dinner and cut a piece while it was still hot from his oven, enjoyed it. I bought him a bread knife for Christmas - One afternoon last Fall he came over with a loaf of bread while I was outside working in the yard. He said he had bread for me but wanted half back, did I have a bread knife he could use ;)

Great meals as usual!!! Shirley, aren't leftovers grand? No thinking of what to cook and easy cleanup. Phyllis, it's nice to take something handy and put your own touches in it. Susan, I had to laugh at you taking yourself physically away from the kitchen to avoid eating more. I agree, the packaged meals are definitely portion-control! Pam, leftover lasagna sounds good! Especially with your snowy weather. Raven the rotisserie chickie and your sides make a great meal! Angela, your dinner sounds so good. I really like the idea of the pasta and shrimp salad. Cherryfizz your meal made my mouth water. Did you use chicken breasts?

I decided to finish up tomorrow's dinner prep instead of cleaning today. Will clean tomorrow. Like you, Patti, I spend half the time washing and reusing every bowl, pot and utensil....and like you, the last thing I feel like doing is cooking dinner tonight. We're having left over pork roast. DH is not that crazy about pork but too bad. We won't be eating Thanksgiving dinner until 6:00 because DS is driving here from Pittsburgh, Pa and he never leaves when he should. That gives me plenty of time to get my act together tomorrow. I'm having trouble typing this because I think I nicked every finger today. That's what happens when you don't stay focused and the knife is going too fast. One of the cuts came from reaching into a water-filled sink with some knives that DH had just sharpened for me. Happy Thanksgiving to you all and Raven, I hope you're feeling better now.

Glenda, I'm such a Five Guys fan! That sounds so good--what? No fries?? Have a great Thanksgiving with Bee's son. She would be so happy.

Shirley, I remember when my dad would go hunting on T-giving, too. I don't remember him bringing home anything edible, though!! Hope you have a great Thanksgiving.

Georgysmom, thanks for the reminder to ask Harry to sharp the carving knife. I cleaned the house earlier in the week and threatened the plank if it doesn't stay that way! ;-)

Have a wonderfully good time tomorrow, y'all!

We go out to a nice restaurant--saves all that dashing, cleaning and prepping. I find TG is much less stressful that way.

We just went light tonight--bowls of chicken noodle soup and pumpernickel toast. Saving our appetites for the fesat!

Dinner tomorrow will be around 2, our friends are coming at 1:30 so when everything is ready we will eat.

Tonight we are having pizza from Papa Murphy's. Mike is on his way to get it now and I have the oven already preheated.

Everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

I have wings in the oven, and some salad to go with it.
