So, whats for dinner tonight?

BACK TO THE TOPIC.I WILL BE HAVING BEEF STROGANOFF,WITH HOMEMADE EGG NOODLES. :D

I love Stroganoff! This Saturday we are making Julia Childs old recipe for Beef Bourguignon! It is a very unusual procedure where the beef, mushrooms and whole baby onions are cooked separately and added together at the end. Served with noodles, french bread and of course a nice glass of burgandy wine. I forgot the lardones or lardoons. Pieces of bacon or salt pork cooked with the meat. Can't wait!!

I love Beef Bourguignon. Please have a serving in my honor...oh..glass of wine too. I have been doing no cooking...hubby has been in the kitchen lately. I may leave my hand in a cast forever!!!! He cooks so much better than I do.

You can still use one hand. You can be his sous chef! Stirring only take one hand. When does that cast come off?

Supposed to be three more weeks in a cast but hopefully when I go next Tues, they will pronounce me healed and I will get to go back to normal. This one finger typing thing takes too long and is too difficult. I think I will enjoy the lack of kitchen responsibility a little while longer. and I am sure the family likes it better too. We eat better now. :wink:

There is always an up side! I hope it comes off Tuesday! I miss your posts!

frog..what's the new avatar??? it's hard to make out what that green spat is. ha ha

I tried to put up a new frog but he jumped in the water. I will put the old one back for now!

oh no u don't have to....i just couldn't tell what it was...I was squinting & everything!!

okay I ate lunch & now I'm ready for a nap!!!

dont keep us guessing. This is a food thread, What did you eat??

ha ha ha I had left over stir fry that I made last night. I make mine from scratch. It was really good!!! It's pretty quick & simple to make & the kids love it.

I had a really good salad for lunch. I used Romaine, and put in some leftover roast beef, onions, mushrooms, tomato, walnuts and gorgonzola cheese. I used Ken's sweet onion dressing.

The walnut/gorgonzola combo rocks!

FOR LUNCH I HAD WINGS,PRETTY BASIC HO HUM.

Salad sounds good! I have to be careful when i read this thread now! Being pregnant you guys are gonna make me crave things that I'll just have to have!!! ha ha ha

can you say pickles and ice cream

Shrimp Salad on an Onion Roll. My wife bought some shrimp and forgot the other ingredients for Shrimp Rolls so I made out good for lunch this week. Plus the Honey Tangerines are ripe right now. Yummo!

Love those honey tangerines.lunch today was a boring turkey sammi. dinner will be light cause I will be getting home late

I have ground turkey in the fridge but I am not sure what to do with it. Anything but meatloaf! Maybe I will make ginger scallion meatballs with Thai sauce. A turkey burger with cheese would be easier though.

All very good sounding lunches!!! Wings, sandwiches,salads..I had leftover spaghetti and meatballs.

Speaking of citrus. I can't understand why I see oranges on trees that never get picked but yet the stores here sell oranges from California! This is Florida. Home of Tropicana! Why am I paying so much for citrus in season! I went to a farm and found them 4 for 1.00. In the store they are 1.99 a pound. Insane!

Are the oranges grown in FLA table oranges or oranges grown for juice?

Edit: Found this...
"Most of Florida's oranges are turned into juice because its warmer, humid climate can leave their rind with a green tinge. Although their juice is sweeter than those grown in California's cooler evenings and lower humidity, California's climate produces a more attractive looking fruit with higher acid levels."

Sorry Frog. I think Floridas Natural is the better orange juice. Don't eat the oranges. Can't stand the pulp.

Is that a Pyb sighting!!!! :D Where ya been!!!?

Hiding out! No seriously life just got slammed for a while and was hard to get near a computer. But I am back. And going to try very hard to stay back. Glad to see this thread hasn't died.

Glad to see you PYb. We missed you

Welcome back Pyb. On the juice note...We picked oranges last week while we were in FL. I lived there for 30 something years and never saw one that was pink in the middle. The ones we picked were really sweet but were pink. We squeezed our own when we lived there...had the trees...that is the best...

On another note...had white clam pizza last night..it was awsome....with this kind of treatment I may never return to the kitchen :lol:

THE MENU TODAY,LUNCH-ANGUS BURGER,CURLY FRIES.
DINNER STUFFED MUSHROOM CAPS,TWICE BAKED POTATO,AND A PORTERHOUSE BIG ENOUGH FOR TWO.YUMMMMM. :D

Ok you foodies..I have to have the in laws over Sunday..and hubby volunteered us to make dinner..I am tired of the same old stuff and am rather limited with my abilities right now...any ideas for something different, yummo :? and easy????

wrap a roast in bacon!!! soak it in EVOO and red wine in the croc...YUMMO! and the leftovers make marvy sammies...

It's a dark and stormy night in Northern Calif and hubby and I are having Chinese and Hot and Sour soup!!

YUMMO!!!!!!!

YUMMO!!!!!!!

had to have the quick, heart clogger Mc. D's for supper :oops:

Roxy, stuff a tenderloin :) I am going to do that next weekend. Have your hubby trim off al the silver and then cut it open and stuff it with mushrooms, onions, garlic, green peppers, whatever you like. Tie it up and throw it in the oven, with some butter on top. it's quick and easy. But mine I am going to cook over a campfire in the snow :) :)

Oh my..That sounds really really good....

Puddle, you sound like you really like the outdoors!! I am a BABY!!! It is 20 degrees and snowing like mad and I am miserable...I have a race on Saturday, and I am so upset about running in the snow..If I hadn't already paid I wouldn't even run it. :evil: I want to go back home, this weather will be the death of me!!

lol fins, I LOVE the outdoors :) well not yesterday, the kids had no school and the wind chills were -50 below. I ran to work (which the parking lot for work connects to my backyard) stayed there and ran home when done. I cranked up the heat, it really sucked. it can be around -10 and I will still snowmobile but any colder and I become a hermit.

With the tenderloin, it is very yummy and so easy, heck you can go to the store and get everything already sliced or diced up so there is no work involved in that. And when I cook mine in the oven I cook it at 325 for about 45min to an hour depending on how big. around 30 mins. I take it out and check the thickest part, to see how red it still is. Then that will tell me how much longer to cook it. My family likes it pink. But that is hubby's fav. with cheesy potatoes. He made me make that right before our health assesments for work, because he wanted to see if that would really make his bad colestrol (sp??) go up. well it didn't make it go any higher than it alread was lmao.

ok, whats with the double posting :?

Comfort food when it is freezing out is THE BEST. I have a good one for you. Buy a good soft italian crusty bread that comes in larger slices (panini size). Take any cheese (swiss is really good), black forest ham, very thin sliced tomato and stone-ground mustard. Lightly butter one side each of the bread; place one slice cheese, tomato, ham, then cheese again. Then dab mustard inside before you grill it.

It is so good...

ooohhhh...black forest ham is the best (Welshire, wilshire, which ever it is is the best I have ever had and you can buy it on-line and have it shipped to you). That sounds very good. Plus hubby works for a cheese company so we always have lots of it on hand :wink: But I never thought of using that kind of bread.
