So, whats for dinner tonight?

I crave sandwiches!!

I need to eat a lot of protein, and I need to get a lot of calories, so I eat tons of red meat. I like to take sizzlers and make sandwiches out of them. Tonight I had eggs and sausage. Tomorrow night I will eat fruit and cheese and maybe one slice of bread, because I am running Saturday morning, and most distance runners have a superstition..Mine is never to eat meat the night before, because I may have some intestinal issues. :o

Well fins, I wish you well on your running. I hope the weather gets better for your run. I will be playin in the snow up at the cabin :wink: when your running.

I mad a dinner meeting tonight...had pork tenderloin in cabernet sauce with garlic mashed potatoes and grilled veggies....yum! And raining here so it was nice and hearty.

SINCE IT IS FRIDAY.CATFISH STUFFED WITH SHRIMP.
AU GRATIN POTATOES,BUTTERED CARROTS.MMMMMMMM GOOD. :D

Thanks for the ideas. I like food I do not have to babysit. Tonight is fajita night...

I think Paul is trying to get us all jealous with the delicious food he is having. And yes paul we are all coming over for a feast.

AS THEY SAY ON THAT GAME SHOW, C'MON DOWNNNNNNNNNNN.
:lol:

It looks like we have another foodie guy on the boards. Good to have your company Paul! You have to change that avatar. You look like a girl in your next to last post!

I had some left over ground meat in the freezer so I will just throw a meat sauce together tomight. Quick and easy. I have been buying these Italian crushed tomatoes that come in little boxes. Just the right size for two. I think the brand is Corelli. I was paying 60 cents each in Big Lots. I bought all I could get my hands on!

FORGET WHAT I SAID,ROADTRIP TO FROG'S HOUSE. :D

Paul...get an avatar! You have a good personality and you're a foodie...you need an avatar!

And wow, between frog and paul, I am already hungry!

Whats the big deal. Its meat sauce! Read my super bowl food on the other thread! Thats worth a trip!

Maybe some of us like meat sauce

Maybe some of us like meat sauce

You must. You said it twice!

On Sunday I often make a Bolognese style sauce that is made with Pork, Beef and Veal with stock and carrots, celery, onions, garlic, tomatoes, and seasoned with fresh basil, pepper and nutmeg. Some people use cream in it, For every family in Bologna ther is a different recipe. Mine was 30 years of trial and error. Lots of dicing and stirring. It is great with Polenta or Pasta. Don't forget the grated cheese of your choice. It is too much to start on a weeknight but it lasts for several meals frozen.

Frog Prince, that sounds good. My Grandmother used cream in hers, mom does not. I use romano and lucotelli (I can not spell it). I like the sharper flavors.

Thanks for all the input. I need to see what hubby is thinking...maybe I can even get Him to cook...since he invited them and I am not speaking to FIL's wife. If I was smart I would recommend Chinese buffet which she absolutely hates :wink:

:lol: good one Roxy lol

We had breakfast for dinner tonight lol grilled chopped sirloin steaks with eggs and hashbrowns. That was supposed to be for sunday breakfast so now I guess it will be toast and jam for breakfast on sunday lol

Tonight we are braving the elements and grilling some Ribeye's wrapped in bacon. I am making cheesy potatoes and nice French bread.

Went out for Chinese food last night....our favorite sushi place was closed for remodeling.

Tonight, I am doing some red snapper, but not sure how I will be preparing it.

I love Chinese..I even love the nasty buffets that are all over the place. My husband can't tolerate them, though. He does like the excellent Japanese restaurant in Grand Rapids, though.

I love sushi...we had good sushi in FL. Hubby is a food snob and does not like chinese except pepper steak. #4 son loves Chinese. Looks like rib eyes and shrimp on the grill tomorrow. I tried and tried to get him to go to the Chinese buffet but he said I was being mean. :lol: I will have to come up with something else to make her uncomfortable while she is here. :evil:

Ignore her, Roxy!! Don't even speak to her! That works wonders with my MIL..Drives her nuts.

Ahhh yes Roxy...I remember awhile back ago you draggin the MIL to the chinese buffet and she hated it! :twisted: :lol:

homemade pizza for us tonight, yum, yum, yum 8)

Guess its giong to be Super Bowl junk food for "dinner" tonight...and a lot of beer!

Yep, right here too. I just put together the giant sub, and the cheese dip and wings are in the crocs! I made the won tons last night... I have lunches packed for tomorrow, and the beer is getting cold..Oh tomorrow is going to be a rough one..

Well, I did not speak to her, I was not speaking to her anyway..she is a complete bit%$, ruined Christmas...anyway, Made a new shrimp recipe. It was really good..even though hubby complained it was not hot (temp ) enough. Linguini, with a roasted red pepper, mushroom, artichoke and herbed cream sauce. It was really easy, took about 30 minutes total. SHould have made it with angel hair though...not a big fan of linguini.

I've also got an issue with Linguine...I think its a texture thing for me. However, that sauce you made sounds wonderful!

Are we all stiffed from our Super bowl munchies, or are any of us planning on dinner tonight? I dont know what I am having , but It may be turkey, as I roasted a turkey **** on Saturday and need to finish it up. Boring , but good.

THIS IS MORE LIKE IT.I AM GOING TO BENNI HANNA TONIGHT. MMMMM JAPANESE STEAK,LOBSTER.

Turkey can be dressed up....do a hot turkey sandwich open faced with gravy and mashed potato.

Paul, enjoy Benihana...I love that place.

good idea vbm. turkey is one of my favorites.

Thanks for the reminder! I still have turkey gravy in the freezer from TG. I almost forgot!

I have none, can you fed ex me yours!!!!!

Or you can do a grilled turkey and cheese

It will definately be turky, but not too sure about the sides. Salad and acorn squash sounds good to me.

Tonight I am making a pork tenderloin if my wife did not freeze both of them. Had a Sams club pass and picked them up 2 for 7.00.

wow what a steal! I have Sams Club but never seen them that low!

I AM HAVING PASTA W/SHRIMP,MEATBALLS ON THE SIDE.
GARLIC BREAD,AND A BIG SALAD.BY THE WAY HAPPY FAT TUESDAY TO EVERYONE. :D :D :D :D

Is that today?? agh! I need to go pick up a King Cake today!

another thing we dont have in NYC. King CAKES.

They are a Mrrdi Gras thing....available at most bakeries nationwide but only during this time. Check around Kash, I bet you will find one.

round with purple gold and green icing right????

yep...with the plastic baby in it :)

Someone brought one into work once straight from Baton Rouge. I got the little guy inside it.

what are you guys talking about...I am from the midwest and not familiar with mardi gras at all..what was inside?

They put a little plastic baby in it. Whomever gets it is supposed to have good luck or something!

That is correct....good luck all year!

HAPPY ASH WEDNSDAY,I WILL BE HAVING SWORDFISH STEAK.LIGHTLY SRINKLED WITH LEMON,ZUCCHINI IN TOMATO SAUCE.HOW ABOUT YOU? :) :)
