What's for Dinner, Wednesday?

11 years ago

Everyone has been eating very well, the past few days!!!!!

We had pork chops with leftover mashed sweet and white potatoes, and sauteed corn and onions. We bought a pineapple on the weekend and it was the sweetest, most delicious pineapple we've had in ages. I wish I bought 2, but I didn't want to take the chance on a sour one.

What are you eating tonite?

Went to lunch today at a local Asian restaurant. Brought home dinner for DH and my leftover General Tso's chicken. DH ate both! I had a cup of tea and some toast from the leftover crusty bread.

I listened to Rhizo and made a mixture of different rices today. Had chicken and some corn to go along with it.

I'm not a sweets eater, either, but love warm ginger bread with lemon hard sauce or whipped cream. I think I see some in my near future! Angelaid, I do leave the skins on the sweet potatoes. Getting a real recipe from me is rare, lol. I so often invent toss this and that together. For the glaze, I mixed some peach jam, chili sauce, a bit of apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. The peach was the primary ingredient. It would be good with apricot or even apple jelly or jam, too. Thank you for the cookbook recommendations, Alisande.

Monica, your salmon sounds absolutely delicious!!! Summershine, that is one of my very favourite comfort foods. We love meatloaf with either mashed or scalloped potatoes. Like you, we're frigid, here in Ontario Shirley, here is the broccoli soup that we love. Ghoghunter posted it a few years ago. My changes are in brackets. Broccoli-Cheese Soup 1 tablespoon butter, melted 1/2 medium onion, chopped 1/4 cup melted butter 1/4 cup flour 2 cups half-and-half (or 1 cup milk and 1 cup half-and-half) 2 cups chicken stock 1/2 pound fresh broccoli 1 cup carrots, julienned salt and pepper, to taste 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 8 ounces grated sharp cheddar cheese (I used much less) Saute onion in butter. Set aside. Cook melted butter and flour using a whisk over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Stir constantly and slowly add the half-and-half and milk,then the chicken stock whisking all the time. Simmer for a few minutes. Add the broccoli, carrots and onions. Cook over low heat until the veggies are tender for 20-25 minutes. Add salt and pepper. The soup should be thickened by now. Pour in batches into blender and puree (or use an immersion blender). Return to pot over low heat and add the grated cheese; stir until well blended. Stir in the nutmeg and serve

Raven, I finally remembered to pick up some asparagus! I'll have it tomorrow with something. Ellendi, tonight I just cooked it in a very basic way. I like having cold leftovers to put on a salad, in my green sludgies, soups, etc. One cup quinoa, rinsed and drained twice. Use a mesh strainer. Add one and a half cups water or broth to the pot with the quinoa, bring to a boil with the lid on....then turn heat down to simmer for ten minutes or so. Let sit for five minutes with the lid on after the heat is off. I also add it raw to any rice or mixed grains that I'm cooking. I even add it when I'm making pea or lentil soup! Always rinse it....it has a bitter taste otherwise.

I'm gearing up for soups, stews, and chowders FINALLY! I just cannot get in the mood until the chill settles in for good. I've got a nice, meaty ham bone in the freezer that waves at me whenever I open the door. Pea soup in the near future, yum. The recipes I've seen for Tuscan bean soup sound 'mahvelous'; I'll have to add that to my list.

Ooh, I hope it was good. Did you doctor it up with lots of good stuff?

We had buckwheat buttermilk pancakes, ham sausage, and a fruit with a yogurt and honey dip.

The pancakes had cinnamon and walnuts in the batter; NY state maple syrup on top.

I had a lamb chop, husband had a pork steak, some extra cheesy au gratin potatoes, and a huge sheet pan of roasted root vegetables. Sweet potato, turnip, parsnip, and beets. Husband ate twice as much vegetables as he did the meat or potatoes. Made me feel good. And he loved it! And he has a nice lunch for tomorrow.

Angela, we love roasted vegetables! There are so many kinds that do well roasted......brussels sprouts, parsnips, onions, etc etc. You made me hungry for them.

Rhizo, breakfast for dinner! Gotta love that.

Shirley, I love the rice mixes that Rhizo keeps talking about. I haven't bought any yet though. We love brown rice and basmati rice.

Georgysmom, your hubby was obviously hungry!! LOL I'd eat his portion next time, haha.

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 ;)

Rhizo: I wasn't brave enough to add anything to the mix of rices. One step at a time, lol. I used Lundberg Wild Blend rice mix. Tastes great without anything added to it. I have enough in the bag to make it again. I'm going to add Pictsweet seasoning blend to it.

morz8, I love the story about your baking neighbor. :)
