What's for dinnah, DU?

[bicentennial_baby]

We're making my Shepherd's Pie recipe:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=236&topic_id=27956

It's super yummo. :9

How about you? :hi:

[grannylib]

1. I think I'm going to make taco salad tonight, or else eggs and sausage

and french toast...
There's something really appealing to me about "big breakfast" food for supper when it's cold out.

I haven't made shepherd's pie in yonks. Sounds yummy!

[bicentennial_baby]

2. Mmmm, dinner breakfast

:9 I loved it when my mom made berry pancakes and sausage for dinner.

Enjoy! :hi:

[no name no slogan]

3. I was going to get a chicken gyro

at the place by my band's rehearsal space, but my drummer had to cancel tonight. Oh well, maybe I'll go over there anyway because I'm in the mood for one.

I love shephard's pie! Sounds delicious!

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

5. I'e enver had a chicken gyro...interesting!

You should go get one!

Thanks babe! :hi:

[graywarrior]

4. Red lentil loaf with portabella mushrooms, roasted red peppers

and onions.
Squash soup w/wakami and cauliflower.
Baked tempeh marinated in shoyu.

[bicentennial_baby]

6. Mmmmm, tempeh...

:9

:hi:

[lost-in-nj]

7. What the fuck did you just say?????

did the big wind rattle your senses???

:shrug: :shrug:

[graywarrior]

34. Hey!

What ever do you mean?

[zingaro]

8. my own version of club sandwiches, complete

with the goofy toothpicks to hold all the good yummy stuff in.

Yours sounds better, though. :)

[bicentennial_baby]

9. What makes it your version? I love club sammiches...

Thanks! I think yours sounds yummy too! :hi:

[harmonicon]

10. I made a very nice pizza

nice by British standards anyway. I cheated and bought the crust thing, but I put on pesto sauce, italian sausage, tomatoes, onions and loads of good mozzarella.

[bicentennial_baby]

11. I had NO idea you were in the UK!

:o

That sounds delish...Hot or sweet sausage? :9

I want to make my own pizza dough. There's a pretty easy looking recipe in the new issue of Food and Wine. :hi:

[harmonicon]

21. I would say the sausages were more sweet, definitely not hot

I can make my own dough, I just can't be bothered most of the time. Also, I don't have a recipe off the top of my head - it's basically just bread. My brother used to work in a really good pizza place and knows all of this stuff - I just do what people like him tell me.

[quakerboy]

73. Ive been looking for a good pizza dough

recipe. That and a good pie crust are 2 things that seem to elude me completely.

[LeftyMom]

12. I don't know yet.

I have some fake cheese on order from Chicago Soydairy, if that came I'll be making pizza. Otherwise??? No clue yet, it's only three.

[SKKY]

13. Maple and Brown Sugar Oatmeal...

...it's about all my new braces will allow me to eat. And I'm just freakin' dying for a big, huge, greasy slice of Pizza. Or 20 tacos.

[bicentennial_baby]

14. The instant kind?

I love that stuff...I have a box in the cupboard.

:hug: Not the same, but I've had maaaaajor dental surgery before, more than once. I feel your pain, my friend.

But, GObama! :bounce:

[SKKY]

16. Yes, tomorrow I'm going to switch it up and have Apple and Cinnamon...

...I hope these fuckers are worth it! My teeth hurt, and the insides of my lips feel like one big rashed over scab. But, yes indeed, GOBAMA!!!!!

[buzzard]

15. I just made a pork tenderloin marinated in teriyaki, rice, broccoli and a caesar salad. When

we finished the dishes my 16 year old baby asked me to make a carrot cake, he grated the carrots and it is baking as a I type. We have so much snow that it looks like a good weekend for doing nothing but watching old movies and eating.

Nobody reads my posts.
:-(

[bicentennial_baby]

19. Actually, I just read that and was talking to Sniffa about how

we need to make those soon. Yum!!

My question, what amounts of each ingredient?

:hi:

[trof]

22. NO MEASURING!

Just StoveTop and a buncha herbs and enough broth to make it soft enough to form patties.

[bicentennial_baby]

25. I can handle that!

I'll let you know how it goes when we make it. And I LOVE butter beans! :bounce:

[madrchsod]

20. chicken tacos and what ever is left over

we eat chicken 7-10 times a week....

[MountainLaurel]

23. Home-made minestrone with bread and salad

Perfect for a rainy Maine night.

[bicentennial_baby]

26. Indeed! That's why I'm making the Shepherd's Pie...

It is SO dreary out there! x(

:hi:

[MountainLaurel]

57. I have dual motives

The first is that it's cold and icky. The second is that we're moving in a month, and we have a freezer full of soups and chili and stews that Mr. Laurel has made this winter. We need to get eating if they're not going to go to waste.

[MorningGlow]

24. Just finished

A little sumpin' we call "white trash hash" (self referential, not mocking anyone else)--hamburger, corn, rice, tomatoes, onions, garlic, cheese. It'd be even trashier if I used the Velveeta called for in the recipe; I just use shredded cheese instead.

It's actually quite tasty and filling--good for this snowed-in night.

[bicentennial_baby]

36. We do dishes like that from time to time...it's yummy

Rock on. :toast:

[lost-in-nj]

53. we made something called Poverty Stew

my Mom made it when ground beef was the cheapest you could buy....
and we were on food stamps

cooked ground beef
onions
celery
stewed tomatoes
onion soup -1 envelope
elbow macaroni

some spices- whatever you wanted

mix everything together and simmer....

add water if you need to and salt and pepper to taste..

another cheap meal.... well used to be


1lb of cooked chop meat for every box of beef Rice-A-Roni

make R-A-R they way the directions say.....

before covering...add cooked ground beef.....

onion rolls are GREAT with this..

I had a Lean Cuisine tonight

[Shakespeare]

27. NO IDEA. Right now I'm snacking on peanut buttter cap'n crunch.

:9

[bicentennial_baby]

28. And you call yourself an effete foodie liberal...

:eyes:

:rofl:

:loveya:

[Shakespeare]

31. shhhhh....

I like spaghettios sometimes, too! :rofl:

:hi: :loveya:

[bicentennial_baby]

32. Me too!

:blush:

And I plead the 5th as to whether or not I eat Kraft M&C. :yoiks:

:loveya:

:hi:

[krispos42]

29. Hmmmmm....

If I feel motivated to go out to the store after my kid wakes up from his knap, then I won't know until I spend some time wandering around the aisles.

If we wait until tomorrow, then it's keibasa and mashed potatoes tonight.

[x-g.o.p.er]

30. Baked fish,

walleye and pike, caught by yours truly. And a baked potato and some green bean casserole, with a beer to wash it down.

It doesn't get much better than that.

[DS1]

33. yogurt and chocolate and milk

i'm feeling different tonight

[bicentennial_baby]

35. Awwww....

PMS?



:yoiks:

[DS1]

38. nsh

just didn't feel like anything heavy

:D

[bicentennial_baby]

40. Understood

:patriot:

[NMDemDist2]

37. great Pie recipe, one of hubby's favs

we had a very late lunch of bacon, eggs, taters and toast

so I probably won't cook tonight, we'll just snack or have salads

tomorrow, Tbones and bakers though......

[bicentennial_baby]

41. Yum. I just read a great recipe in Food and Wine

a warm Frisee Lardon Salad in Red Wine Sauce. Want.

:hi:

[NMDemDist2]

56. no red wine for moi

but enjoy!!
:hi:

[TheCentepedeShoes]

39. Got a snapper fillet

at the store today, enough for two. Saute it in some butter/olive oil, serve with a spinach/cucumber salad. Not very hungry tonight.

[flvegan]

42. Naturally felled venison.

Because, you know I abhor hunting.

:rofl:

[bicentennial_baby]

45. You hunter gatherer you...

:rofl:

[TheCentepedeShoes]

50. So

how's the front of your car doing?

[JVS]

43. Mexican spaghetti.

I don't have any gravy, so I'm using a pack of taco flavoring for the meat,

[bicentennial_baby]

46. Mmmm, taco flavored meat...

Seriously. Yum.

[JVS]

77. It was good. And I have some leftover meat for nachos sometime

[AngryAmish]

44. Cassoulet

[hippywife]

47. Quesadillas

with Quorn Naked Cutlets and jalapenos sliced in them, Spanish rice, and fresh guac. Tasting very yummy at this moment. :hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

48. Mmmmm! Yay for fresh guac!! w00t!

I have yet to try Quorn...one of these days. :hi:

[hippywife]

54. The Naked Cutlets

were great in the quesadillas, they're great in pot pie and just on a sandwich. You really can't tell it's not real chicken.

Enjoy your shepherd's pie! :hi:

[Rhythm]

49. Lazy tonight... the youngster had fish and tater totts... the Mrs and i

had hoagies with an assortment of meats and cheeses.

Now i feel too full... *bleh*

[bicentennial_baby]

51. It's good to be full!

Say hi to B. for us!! :loveya:

[Rhythm]

66. I will be happy to extend your greetings!

She may be around at some odd hour, though... ahe's gotten into an odd sleep schedule somehow.

[1gobluedem]

52. Chili!

I enhanced my regular chili recipe with the addition of half a pound hot Italian sausage, combined with the ground beef, and a can of Heineken. Simmered it for five and a half hours then served with cheese and corn chips (optional but I like both in my chili), hot biscuits, and coleslaw. It was very thick and rich and just spicy enough. My SO loved it.

[LuckyTheDog]

55. One cup fat-free refried beans

Spread onto two low-fat tortillas, topped with 1/4 cup fat-free shredded cheese.

I'll probably have a salad, too. No dressing.

That'll be eight Weight Watcher points. Leaves me room for a cup of fat-free ice cream later (3 more points).

[bicentennial_baby]

63. I'm wicked proud of you!!

:yourock:

Seriously. :hug:

[opiate69]

58. chicken enchiladas... . they were yummy!

[Critters2]

59. Had dinner at a wedding reception. Nice meal--

Spinach and strawberry salad, twice baked potato, California mix vegetables, portobello ravioli. And for dessert--cake, of course!!

[bicentennial_baby]

62. Can you explain the salad? I'm intrigued!

:hi:

[Critters2]

67. Here's a recipe. I didn't notice any paprika in the one

at the reception, but other than that, this is the salad:

[bicentennial_baby]

69. bookmarked! Thank you!

:pals:

[Critters2]

70. You won't be sorry!! It's really good! nt

[Gormy Cuss]

60. I posted to trof's thread

because it needed rescuing.
Let's just say it involves corn chips, pickled jalapenos, cheese, black olives, and a few other good things.


(nachos, home made by the SO)

[bicentennial_baby]

64. Mmmm, nachos....

I can't do them w/out making Guac....Yum. Yum. Yum.

:hi:

When are you evah coming home? :pals:

[Gormy Cuss]

74. Funny you should mention that....

He made guac too!

I don't know when I'm coming back to Boston ...pout pout pout... but it should be soon.

[auntAgonist]

61. I made chili and biscuits. n/t

[bicentennial_baby]

65. Tell me about your chili!!

:bounce:

:hi:

[BuddhaGirl]

68. well, seeing as Im visiting my brother in Honduras right now :-)

we went to a local bar and had some fundido anafres with chorizo and chips...then had some quesadillas and salsa...then some barbacoa (chicken, steak, pork)...all washed down with beer and margaritas!

We have had frijoles at breakfast every day now, with eggs and chorizo...Im in heaven :-) (cannot find the damned apostrophe on the spanish keyboard lolol) :hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

71. Qu'est que c'est, fundido anfares?

:hi:

[BuddhaGirl]

75. fundido anafres

is beans and cheese in a clay dish, set over a table top sized clay "chimnea" filled with hot coals - the coals cook the beans till they´re steaming hot. This sits on a plate filled with freshly fried tortilla chips with slices of lime on the side. YUMMO! :hi:

[quakerboy]

72. not sure yet. probably something

Carnivore oriented. My other half returns tomorrow, so its my last chance.

[LeftyMom]

76. Eventually I decided on this:

http://journals.democraticunderground.com/LeftyMom/34

The only significant adaptation since I posted it was to add a few drops of liquid smoke. Sounds odd, but it does wonders for the stuff.
