What Did You Have For Dinner Tonight?

[gretchen]

Salmon fillet baked/steamed in balsamic vinegar and lemon, baby garlic potatoes and salad. Lovely!

Fantastic!

We had Japanese dumplings (Gyoza) filled with pork and veggies with brown rice last night.

[KarmaContestant]

My dinner last night was some yogurt and a pint of blueberries. I was feeling lazy.

Tonight, though, I am making a Vietnamese lemon curry with rice and veggies.

And...scratch that. Guess it's taco night instead. :woohoo:

[Silver Springs]

Sweet Chilli Noodles.

Noodles are my friend this week.

[HomerMcvie]

It's my occasional "gross out the Ledgies" night.


Fried chicken gizzards. Dipping them in BBQ sauce!:angel:

But they're SOOO TASTY!!!! I know, everyone is always, "but they're so disgusting to think about!".

And they're so much better than livers! I like livers, but I love gizzards!:thumbsup:

[Dodfather]

I must try these! Homer, our holiday/Nashvegas trip will be an exercise in gastronomic experimentation/awesomeness!

We will eat at Rotiers, 2400 Elliston Place(I always get a little lost, getting there, so I have it memorized, so I can speak it into my GPS), and have the Fried Chicken Liver/Gizzards combo plate(it doesn't even exist, but they combine the two for me).

PS- bring yer good teeth!:laugh: (they are some CHEWY little bastards!):laugh::wavey:

[HomerMcvie]

Lobster, and eggplant parmesan.

I don't think I'll buy any more lobsters to cook at home. They're kind of DISGUSTING, cleaning the sh*t out of them. It was tasty, but ewww....(no, I mean the lobster was tasty).:p

[Macfanforever]

Chicken soup over my dads house.

[McTrouble]

Went out for slap up lunch yesterday at a country pub/restaurant and it was, like, wow!!!!

To start I had Queen Scallops with Chorizo and Hot Bacon Salad.

For the main I had Monkfish Tails wrapped in Parma Ham served with Seafood Risotto (the seafood consisted of King Prawns, Scallops, Mussels and Squid).

It was divine!

Helped down by 2 large glasses of Pinot Grigot :D

[HomerMcvie]

My friend was supposed to have a big Mexican dinner/cards night, last night. But due to terrible weather here this weekend(ice storm), he canceled, "before everyone spent their money on food for the party":mad::mad::mad::mad:

Sadly, I'd already bought everything.:mad::mad::mad:

So I called my family, and I'm cooking for a bunch of them today. It's a mexican chicken casserole. I got the recipe off the Food Network site, and it's a Paula Deen recipe. Hope it's good!

[Dodfather]

That sounds great!

[HomerMcvie]

That sounds great!

It was only so so. I wouldn't recommend it. Firstly, it called for 3 cans of soup(cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, and cheddar cheese soup), and while it was okay, the consensus was, that it just tasted too processed. IF IF IF I were to do it again, I'd maybe ONLY use the cream of chicken soup, and make up the difference with natural ingredients, such as green chilies, and maybe some salsa or something.

Your first mistake was looking to Paula Deen for good Mexican food. If you want good Mexican food, you should try this recipe for a start:

http://www.thespicehouse.com/recipes/puerco-pibil-recipe

It doesn't hurt that the recipe is from director, Robert Rodriguez. :thumbsup:

I wasn't specifically looking for Paula Deen, just searching the food network's database, for Mexican recipes. I SHOULD have known, that any recipe calling for 3!!! cans of soup, as a base, couldn't be very authentic. My bad.

[HomerMcvie]

Going to have a small ham steak(actually going to cut one in half, and just eat half), with some mashed potatoes, and some baby peas.

Trying to knock out a few more winter comfort foods off my list, before spring...

[beccamorrisfift]

Mmmm!! Homemade potato wedges and lentils in tomato and pepper sauce, I'm loving this new vegetarian diet.

And I just had a bloody delicious desert, crunchy peanut butter on chocolate covered digestive biscuits.

I really do find it amazing, the difference between the Brits and Americans. Because I used to think we had much more in common. But there are all sorts of things they have/do, that we've never even heard of.

I haven't eaten yet today, so having an early dinner. Carrot, Herb and Egg Noodle stir fry, followed by a Pear, Redcurrant, Raspberry and Sultana salad with Almond dressing.

Can I join you there, Bee?

Overcooked smoked sausage and cabbage. Good thing I didn't burn the house down. So, I've always been afraid of leaving the house, with the oven on. Well, I had a couple hours of work to do, today, but I wanted to try this recipe that my aunt told me about last week. I always ASSumed, since my stove is only a couple of years old, that if I fired up the oven, then set the TIMER, that the timer would shut it off, when the timer ran out. I doesn't work that way, folks! Learn from my mistake.:lol::lol::lol:

So it still tasted pretty good, although the sausage and cabbage were brown(not burned) from being heated for about 90 minutes longer than the recipe called for.

Apparently, oven timers serve no function, other than to say, "hey YOU, turn the damned oven off".:o:laugh:

[Silver Springs]

Can I join you there, Bee?

Haha. Saved you a serving! ;)

It's really simple to make though, both dishes. Which must be true because I'm a very simple cook. I've no time for all these fancy recipes that take longer than a half hour.

[TerraRhiannon]

Chinese Buffet with my family & best friends :D Absolutely delicious and to die for!! I had everything under the sun - including desserts :L

A really hot chilli, and I heated up some garlic & herb pitta pockets to pile it into - scrummy!

I'm not a vegetarian but I eat a lot of Quorn - especially the mince. Makes yummy Spag Bol and Chilli Con Carne. I much prefer Quorn mince to Beef mince now.

How comes you've gone veggie?

I know. Mom's been gone for 9 years now(it feels like just 3-4, though). Trying to think of her other things that I can't touch...
Fried chicken - I just can't make mine come out nearly as good as hers.
Liver and onions - yeah, I know, the world hates it. We both love(d) it. Mine always SUCKS.:mad:
Meatloaf - I make a good meatloaf, but it's still not as good as hers.


I put my salmon for tonight, in a rosemary, thyme, and garlic rub last night, put a little liquid smoke on it, and wrapped it in foil, and let it sit in the fridge all night. Gonna fire up the grill here, in a couple of hours....:wavey:

Thanks. Yeah, we all have our strengths and weaknesses. Smoking a salmon steak, is just about one of my favorite things that I cook! Since I'm firing up the grill with mesquite charcoal, and Jack Daniels wood chips, I'm going to smoke a big chicken breast, for tomorrow, while I'm at it. Killing two birds with one stone...actually, a fish and a bird, with one stone!:lol:

I'm down 4 lbs(149 today), of the holiday weight I'd gained, so I'm feeling better about eating tasty stuff!

I have no idea what I'm doing wrong with it....Mom's was always tender, with breading sticking all over it. My breading always falls off, and it is always kind of tough. I need a liver cooking lesson!!!!:o

However, my salmon today kicked ass! Yummy!

Just grilled some lobster tails with butter, lemon, & sauteed garlic and they far outshone my signature sauteed asparagus with lemon-butter (with a touch of spicy mustard). I've always boiled lobster in the past, and have been fairly unimpressed with the results. Grilling them made them unbelievable... restaurant quality and it took all of 5 minutes on the grill! :nod:

So do you have to clean yours(you're buying a whole one, or just the tails)? The ones I've been buying at Krogers are whole, and actually, quite disgusting, cleaning the sh*t out, from when you pull the tail off of the body. I actually decided that the one I had last week, was going to be my last. I ain't no lobster bathroom custodian.:o:wavey:

Just bought the tails (on sale for $5 each!). I kinda butterflied them and washed them... took all of 30 seconds for each tail. I've never cooked a whole lobster... I am not up for that much prep work. :o :laugh:

This was seriously easy, though. Butterfly them, grill them meat side down for 4 minutes, flip them over on the shell side, then grill them for 2 more minutes and you're done. YUM!!

Why do so many people have such an aversion to anchovies? I don't get it! :distress:

I KNOW! Especially if you like beer with your pizza. That salty little piece of heaven, aka my good friend, the anchovie, is the perfect compliment to the beer!:]:]:]

[HomerMcvie]

I'm on my way to setting up a lighting rig for tonight...I think I'm going to stop and graze at Sam's Club.:D:D:D

^^^Not technically dinner, but sample/noshing.:o

[David]

I'm gonna have a lasagna from Costco.
Whoopee ... right?

I assume Costco's food is very similar to Sam's Club. While I like most of it, it's hard for me, a single guy, to eat the quantity that I have to buy. Even if it's frozen stuff, it's usually freezer burned, by the time I finish it.:rolleyes:

I sampled some really tasty crab cakes today, and would have bought them, if I didn't have to buy 30 of them!

I do buy my wine there, however....:thumbsup:

[ButterCookie]

Someone in the kitchen got an order wrong tonight, so for my tea I got a steamed fillet of Haddock in lemon and parsley butter with vegetables (of which I only ate the carrots and cabbage).

[HomerMcvie]

It's an absolutely gorgeous day today(50's, and sunny!), so I'm smoking some salmon. Yummy! Just about my favorite thing that I make!

[HomerMcvie]

Smoked pork quesadillas!

I smoked salmon yesterday, and the coals were still red hot, so I smoked some pork for today!

[Silver Springs]

A cup of tea.

[Rod~A~Little]

After reading through this thread I'm getting hungry! lol
Making burritos tonight~

Now, what for dessert? Hmmm

[Dodfather]

I had something quite unusual but so, so good! I went out for dinner and had a kind of risotto dish with beef, chicken, mushrooms and prawns. So far so expected but instead of a creamy sauce/stock they had used a thick satay sauce with whole peanuts instead! It was lovely!

I'm not usually much on satay sauce. While I love peanuts and peanut butter, I usually find the sauce to be overpowering to the dish.:sorry:

Let's take this as the exception that proves the rule of our gastronomic twindom! :thumbsup:

[McTrouble]

Tripletdom ;)

[Silver Springs]

A little vegetable wrap.

[HomerMcvie]

Let's take this as the exception that proves the rule of our gastronomic twindom! :thumbsup:

And I usually feel the same way about basil. I like it, but I usually find it overwhelming to the other flavors in the dish.

And that's also why I don't like pickles on my sandwiches, as a general rule(I have learned to adapt, however:mad:). Put em on the side, and I'll eat em, though...

I've got a lot of problems to work through in my life, dontcha think?:laugh:;):wavey:

[HomerMcvie]

Tripletdom ;)

We need to plot a Triple Nashville Gastronomic Musical Extravaganza! A week, or weekend, of all the great food and drink we can handle!!!

Hear hear! They suck.

[Silver Springs]

I've eaten a small vegetable wrap in five days. I'm just not interested in eating anymore

[McTrouble]

:thumbsup: A week at least - need two days to recover from jet lag! :rolleyes::lol:

[HomerMcvie]

:thumbsup: A week at least - need two days to recover from jet lag! :rolleyes::lol:

I won't go, unless I have at least 4-5 days off, to stay. Even though I'm only a 4 hour drive away, two days of vacation, just doesn't cut it for me! I feel like I never even got to relax.:mad:

And finally, I'm off for a week, starting next Wednesday. Nashvegas bound!!!!!!:blob2::blob2::blob2:

[HomerMcvie]

Eggplant Parmesan, homemade cream of mushroom soup, and a spinach salad.



I sort of intentionally gained 7 lbs during February, after a pretty frightening health scare. Got my clean bill of health today, so it's time to lose it(divorcing meat for awhile).:woohoo:

[ButterCookie]

My grandparents took me to lunch today and I had a wild mushroom and squash lasagne with parmesan and pine nuts and a salad.

[HomerMcvie]

Lemon pepper fish tacos. Yeah, I'm experimenting. They're actually pretty good.

[McTrouble]

Beef in Black Bean Sauce with Egg Fried Rice - MmmmmMmmmmm :D

[David]

I sort of intentionally gained 7 lbs during February, after a pretty frightening health scare. What was the scare, David?

Last night, I had Syrian food: mutabbal, marinated chicken & lamb kebab, & Syrian (?) hot tea. Fantastic food, great restaurant.

Today, I want ... GRILLED HOT DOGS with sauerkraut & relish from Five Guys.

[HomerMcvie]

Homemade pizza, with spinach, pineapple, canadian bacon, chicken bacon, and lots of cheese.
Oh yeah, jalapeno slices all over it. My lips are on fire!:blob2::blob2::blob2:
:laugh:

[Dodfather]

I had two plain toasted bagels with cream cheese, cheddar and bacon. It took a looooong time today before I could eat anything after a pretty heavy weekend!

[HomerMcvie]

Day #2 of 7 days in Nashville...I've been researching Urban Spoon, wanting to try at least a few new places.
Today I was craving mexican, so I picked a new place, based on the number of positive reviews it had received. I had chille relleno, a burrito, and a chalupa. These are the same items I get at my regular place, but these were just better. Tasted fresher, and spicier. With fresh guacamole on top. And was priced the same as my old place. Goodbye, old place...:p

[Dodfather]

Goodbye, old place...:p

Love this! Good work. I love Mexican food :thumbsup:

[vivfox]

Love this! Good work. I love Mexican food :thumbsup:

Yeah, I love Mexican food too.:laugh:

[HomerMcvie]

Love this! Good work. I love Mexican food :thumbsup:

I could eat Mexican OR Chinese, every meal, for the rest of my life. Chinese is actually slightly ahead(and I mean just a cheap Chinese buffet!), but I love both!!!!
Today is a beautiful day in Nashville, so I'm going for a long drive, out to one of my new favorites, featured on Diners, Drive ins, and Dives.

I had the pulled pork BBQ last time, and it knocked my socks off, so I'll most likely have that again(although I'm thinking about the fried chicken....).
It's a foodspedition!:blob2:

[Macfanforever]

Love this! Good work. I love Mexican food :thumbsup:

Yeah, I love Mexican food too.:laugh:

Sorry. hehehe.I'll pass on Mexican food.It does not agree with me.Italian food .Yes ,I can eat pounds of it.

[poetinmyheart]

Italian for me tonight. Am off to Prezzo with some friends. Wine and goats cheese here I come.....

[McTrouble]

Yeah, I love Mexican food too.:laugh:

Naughty boy :rolleyes::lol:

[Macfanforever]

I had some chicken soup with mixed veggies.It was good.

[HomerMcvie]

CHEAP chinese buffet.

My absolute FAVORITE food on the face of the Earth. I could eat that sh*t every meal, for the rest of my life.:wavey:

[HomerMcvie]

Does anyone else think that "bone in" chicken is disgusting? So I fired up the smoker today, and smoked some red pepper encrusted chicken. I usually never buy anything but boneless, but this was on sale, and the Food Network shows always INSIST that you need bone in chicken, because that's where the flavor is.....

So it was tasty, but as you get closer to the bone, I just think it's disgusting! I really felt like hurling, when I was down to the deep parts. Bleck.
I'll never buy bone in again, with the exception being wings for hot wings.

JTISWDYHFD!:lol:

[GypsySorcerer]

^^^^ Yes! Only boneless chicken for me. The reddish/pink close to the bone turns my stomach.

[Silver Springs]

I'm currently eating some damn good Porridge in my back garden, soaking up the sunshine.

[HomerMcvie]

I baked a huge ham, and took it to a pitch-in dinner, a few nights ago. Ending up bringing home about half of it. Taking it to my aunt's house, for our dinner/playing cards night, tonight.
So,
Ham sandwiches, and I'm making a huge pot of french onion soup. Yummy!

[Silver Springs]

Spicy Lentil Soup with Celery, Potato, Tomatoes, Chilli, Peppers, Onion and Garlic and fresh Poppy Seed Bread.

[David]

Spicy Lentil Soup with Celery, Potato, Tomatoes, Chilli, Peppers, Onion and Garlic and fresh Poppy Seed Bread.I love fresh poppy seed bread!

[poetinmyheart]

Sunday = Roast dinner. Also lots of chocolate on the agenda today, inevitably followed by junk food remorse.

[poetinmyheart]

Chocolate overkill :nod:

[HomerMcvie]

Breaded chicken cutlet, french onion soup, and the first handful of fresh asparagus from my garden.

[Silver Springs]

I feel sick from the antibiotics I'm on so I only managed a little leftover Lentil Soup that made me feel slightly worse :s

[Macfanforever]

I had a nice Easter dinner over my sisters house,Easter dinner was Ham with scalloped potatos.stingbeans.brussell sprouts and dinner rolls.washed down with a diet coke..desert was a icecream birthday cake she picked up from Carvel.

[McTrouble]

Spaghetti and Meatballs :)

[McTrouble]

King Prawn, Scallop and Salmon Linguine :)

[HomerMcvie]

^^^Yummy!

I made Crawfish Etoufee. I only had a small amount of crawfish, so I threw in a few shrimp, too. And a half an ear of corn on the cob.:blob2:

[Silver Springs]

Mixed Vegetable Couscous with Falafal and Sweet Chilli.

[ButterCookie]

One and a half new potatoes.

God, I wish I was kidding. I didn't like the orange... thing that was on my plate (yeah my mum's cooking is shocking, it was potatoes and the orange veg thing just on the plate) so she seems to think what I did eat is acceptable. Yaaaaay.

[chiliD]

Trader Joe's Strawberry Greek Yogurt. And, a coconut "fruit floe" (popsicle).

And, about a half-gallon of Crystal Geyser.

[Dodfather]

King Prawn, Scallop and Salmon Linguine :)

Definitely my kinda food. Lovely!

I had quesedillas and home made guacamole. :thumbsup:

[Macfanforever]

Not a seafood fan here except tuna fish.

Last night I had thin Philly steaks on bread.

[McTrouble]

Definitely my kinda food. Lovely!

I had quesedillas and home made guacamole. :thumbsup:

And that sounds yummy too!

I just went the simple route tonight - Tuna Pasta Bake! Scrumptious though!

[iamnotafraid]

Hamburger, fries and a Sprite.
Topped it off with a Hershey's
chocolate bar with almonds.

[KarmaContestant]

Last night's dinner was chili (the typical red kind) with quinoa and sweet potatoes added. I thought it sounded weird, tooo - but was really, really good.

Saturday, I had a friend over for dinner and we cooked on the grill. Grilled eggplant, sweetcorn, and chopped potatoes, parsnips, carrots, onions, beets and herbs wrapped in a foil pouch with olive oil and cooked on the grill.
