What's for Dinner, Sat., Feb. 2, 2019

[NJCher]

We're having a ball on this cold winter day, binge watching a Netflix series (British detective) and having British food. The Brits are not known for their food, but, hey, once in a while it's kind of fun to try something we wouldn't ordinarily have.

The RG made ground pork and spinach pies. Lattice crust.

Chopped vegetable salad to go with: zucchini, peppers, garlic, carrots, tomatoes.

Fruit with hazelnut dip. Spicy chai tea.

1. Elleng posted a lentil soup last Sunday, I'm doing that.

And some type of drop herb drop biscuit or cornbread. I haven't decided yet.

2. looks easy enough

A cozy winter soup.

I got a 404 the first time I tried the link, but if you copy the link without the period at the end of the first line, it works fine.

3. Fixed. I'm going to add some frozen spinach right before serving for a green veggie.

It is really easy.

4. Beef pot roast

Mashed potatoes and gravy, broccoli and cauliflower. My whole family's favorite meal. I use arm roast, which I guess is not what it's called in other parts of the country - it's cut from the chuck.

5. Chuck roast is the term my grocery store and local butcher use for that cut.

It sounds like the same thing I use to make pot roast. My family loves it too. We're having it tomorrow for Sunday lunch as a leftover from about 4 weeks ago. I'll make mashed potatoes and roasted carrots and caramelized pearl onions with mushrooms. We will also have green beans and a big green salad. I always hope for leftovers to eat during the week, but lately there haven't been many. We usually have 8-12 family members on Sunday--8 adults and 4 children (+/- given visitation weekends.) The kids are ages 9 (x3) and 11 (x1). I am getting nervous thinking about when they reach the ages where they have bottomless stomachs!!!!

6. BBQ pork slider

I prepared a feast of leftovers since I am solo this evening.

Pulled pork with BBQ sauce on a slider bun
Cole slaw
Mashed potatoes
Baked butternut squash (mashed and rewarmed with a dab of butter)
Lima beans

TJ is off to work and Four Legged Food Critic is in deep sleep on her bed. When he arises there are multiple options. Chicken tenders, pulled pork (no sauce), roast beef and his little cheeseburger sliders (no bun).

A small naval orange with tea and cookies is a possibility later on for me.

7. Kale salad to start

With broc, cranberries amd pumpkin seeds. Sweet poppy seed dressing. Buttered baguette.

Have some leftover taco meat I am adding cooked wheat berries to. Makes a satisfying filling. Want to use the last of the cilantro before it goes bad. Have lime and avacado too. Serving on white corn tortillas.

8. From New Orleans

Chicken gumbo, corn bread and matsuma oranges.

10. We had left-overs

The Landlady(!) made a huge amount of eggplant Parmesan about a month ago so we heated that up. She made a delicious tomato sauce served over ziti. Garlic bread and a Caesar salad with anchovy filets and hard boiled egg.

Dark chocolate and red wine for dessert.
