What's for Dinner ~ Friday Jan 11th

1. Maybe pan seared tuna steaks.

It's still early so that could change.

[intheflow]

2. I was going to cook a turkey today.

But our oven bit the big one this week. Now I'm feeling uninspired by the chicken breasts/hamburger/pork chops in my freezer I could cook on the stove top.

3. we will probably order in

today is payday and i won't have a chance to get to the grocery store until tomorrow.

4. Pizza with Alouette cheese, roasted mushrooms and shallots and a tossed salad

It is raining and 33 F. and a mess with the melting snow turning to ice. I may switch this menu to Bean and Escarole soup

[LiberalLoner]

5. Hungarian goulash soup braising in oven, will make dumplings later.

[locks]

6. Warm the tummy

Dropping to 5 deg tonite--combine chicken noodle soup with left-over risotto, carrots and peas.

7. Chicken kiev and a salad.

8. I don't cook Fridays

Years ago I had to work late on Fridays (had to stay til the payroll got done or people would get mad!) and ever since I'm on kitchen strike on Fridays only. Hoagies tonite.

9. Baked breaded Tilapia, corn with diced red bell peppers, crackers with cream cheese and chives.

I'm using Gorton's frozen fillets. They've upgraded their product line. The Tilapia are good sized, moist and bake up well. Just have to dust with dill and black pepper...

[Lugnut]

19. Gorton's fish products are really good.

We like the crispy battered filets. They're on sale fairly often so I usually take advantage and stock the freezer for those too-busy-to-cook days.

10. Beef pot roast

Mashed potatoes, carrots stewed with the roast in a red wine gravy, steamed broccoli and a lovely whole wheat ciabatta roll. Very satisfying and now leftovers to pick on over the weekend. Happy Friday!

[Glassunion]

15. Nice! I'm doing a roast tomorrow.

I think I love the leftovers more.

[yellerpup]

21. I love the leftovers more, too.

Besides, I have to make a dozen pie crusts today for my big benefit party on the 25th. I'll chunk them in the freezer and roll them out the day before. Having leftovers allow me to do this today. Enjoy your pot roast!

[struggle4progress]

11. Soup. Mostly made from leftovers of meals I served my holiday guests.

Mmmmmm!

[cbayer]

12. Heaven knows.

We are still stuck in engine repair mode. My home is totally torn up with greasy tools and men everywhere. I can't get in the galley, because the engine is under the floor in there.

[Glassunion]

14. Boo! That sucks.

[cbayer]

18. It's truly horrible. They are wrapping it up for the night and my

biggest anxiety is being thrown out of this marina and having nowhere to go.

That's the downside of being off the grid. You are essentially homeless and have to comply with the rules of the marina in which you visit from time to time.

[NJCher]

16. oh! cbayer!

My deepest regrets! I hope it is fixed soon. I once had dinner with a motor engine myself; not fun!

appetizer: crackers with garlic goat cheese drizzled with agave and walnuts

1st course: cheese tortellini with roasted tomato sauce, topped with basil pesto

2nd course: chorizos in toasted flour tortillas with garlic potatoes (sliced)

Dessert: dark chocolate

Chilean red served with above.

17. They have just discovered another problem! Can I come to your house.

[greatauntoftriplets]

22. Sounds like an absolute mess!!!

You can come to my place! It's 51 degrees now but on the way straight down by this afternoon. Ice is predicted for tonight. Still no snow here (I'm not complaining).

[cbayer]

23. Thank you my friend.

It is a bloody mess.

They will work on it again today, but I remain anxious about where we will go.

I would take ice and snow at this point.

[greatauntoftriplets]

24. I don't blame you for being anxious.

Hope that they get it fixed ASAP.

[Glassunion]

13. Omelettes. Bacon, tomato, cheese and basil.

Then some Czech absinthe.

[Lugnut]

20. Reruns.

It was a clean-out-the-fridge supper today.
