Okay, what'd everyone eat for dinner tonight?

I had a lovely tomato salad, with red onions and basil. Then we had nice roasted cornish hens, stuffed with wild rice and peas. And as a vegetable, we had ecarole and white cannellini beans, sauteed in garlic and olive oil. For dessert, I just had a small cup of lemon sherbet with a couple of mini-biscotti.

I'm full, not stuffed, but just right.

Not quite as fancy as yours, I made an ol' college favorite:

Mac'n Cheese Tuna Casserole

The recipe would appear on the box now and then. Prepare Mac'n Cheese as directed, then add in a can of condensed Cream of Mushroom soup, another 1/4 cup or so of milk, a can of tuna (in water , and with the water), a cup of peas (preferably frozen), salt & pepper. Heat under low heat.

The leftovers are great cold

Funny you should mention frozen peas. I loathe canned vegetables, and always cook frozen if I can't get fresh. However, peas are the ONLY vegetable that I prefer canned.

Today is my daughter's birthday, and she insisted on eating at Cheeburger, Cheeburger. I have to tell you, it's not bad. I have yet to save enough room for one of their shakes. They have over 30 flavors, and I pore over the menu throughout half the meal. Then I realize how full I am, and I never end up ordering one. Dying to try either the frozen hot chocolate or the three musketeers.

Sloppy joes

I haven't had a cheeseburger in a while. It sounds pretty good. For me tonight though BBQ chicken & a salad.

Last night I BBQed some really nice Rib Eye steaks. They were so tender and delicious. The wife made a nice fresh tomato and basil salad in olive oil, some baked potatoes and fresh sautéed spinach with garlic.

Just melted in your mouth huh?

Absolutely!

But were they rare????

I'm with Babe. Gimme meat blood rare, raw even.

Corn flake chicken, the best damn homemade mashed potatoes ever, green beans, and a pepsi.

It was awesome.

I've heard of that... what exactly is it?? Fried chicken?

Yeah, instead of flour or cornmeal, they use corn flakes. I've had it while driving down south, it's delicious.

Pizza boy explained it pretty well. And it is delicious.

3 Med - Rare and 1 Med - Well.

This ain't no Luger's where they tell you how to eat it!

Why don't you just drink a glass of blood for dinner? Whatever trips your trigger.

I guess Bloodwurst is out of the question, huh Mig?

I'll pass on that Geoffy.

Hey Miggy, how about a little Sanguinach?


Sanguinach ; a blood spread made with the pig's blood, cooked must, nuts, chocolate, sugar, fresh bread crumbs, and orange peels.

Do you think I'm a vampiress?

Okay, tonight we had rotisserie chickens that I picked up at Stew's. I made a nice cucumber and tomato salad and sauteed some nice portobella mushrooms in olive oil, garlic and a splash of balsamic vinegar. A nice, light and healthy meal.

Grilled Chicken Siciliana.

Garlic sauteed grilled chicken.
Thinly sliced fresh eggplant sauteed in olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Mozzarella.

I grilled the eggplant first. Then grilled the chicken until it was about 3/4 done. I then placed a slice of eggplant on top of each slice of chicken and then topped each one off with a slice of Mozzarella. Then let it cook the rest of the way until the Mozzarella was melted. As sides we had a nice tomato and Romanian lettuce salad, and steamed broccoli with a little bit of garlic and olive oil poured over it.

Pizza

Steak for me!! Salad, garlic toast and ice tea.



TIS

A great (and fat) veggie sandwich on Foccacia bread, with eggplant, sun dried tomatoes, tomatoes, green peppers, onion, lettuce, sprouts with swiss cheese and tomato pesto sauce. That was in the evening at my school cafeteria. I got a little hungry again and just finished eating a bowl of raisin-bran with cold milk

Pot roast, egg noodles, carrots and steamed spinach.

Grilled chicken with sauteed zuchini, thinly sliced. Oh, and seasoned rice.

Today at 01:41 AM :


Boy, you eat dinner at a strange time!

I was so full from dinner that I staggered over to the couch and fell asleep. THEN I woke up and posted.

Staggered over to the couch because you were full of food, or full of wine?
