What? No dinner thread yet?

[hippywife]

Let me start one coz my dinner is excellent!

Organic buffalo burgers with a side of turnips, parsnips, granny smith apple, and shallots fried in butter with just salt and a little fennel seed.

:9

Whatcha havin'?

[bicentennial_baby]

1. Steak, with fried potatoes, sauteed spinach, onions, peppers, garlic, and

cherry tomatoes. :9

[hippywife]

3. Glad you and sniffa

are still having fun in the kitchen. It's so fun to be creative with meals! :hi:

[BarenakedLady]

2. Indian takeout

Shahi korma, gucchi saag, and garlic naan.

:9

[hippywife]

4. You know

I really need to explore Indian food a little more. I've had it a few times but not from any place I would consider authentic.

Hope you enjoy! :hi:

[triguy46]

5. We did Easter dinner this Sat. night:

Ham, mashed yukons/gravy, green beans, fresh bread, strawberries, cobbler and ice cream. Now we don't have to do anything tomorrow.

[hippywife]

10. You just get to have

yummy leftovers and rest up for another week at work! LOL

[auntAgonist]

6. Went out to a nice little Italian Restaurant for our anniversary ..

It was wonderful

aA

[hippywife]

11. Wishing you a very

Happy Anniversary, aA! May you have many more! :hug:

[yewberry]

7. Don't laugh

Tofu "cutlets" with raspberry coulis, green beans, and a giant mess of braised red chard with onions.

Still have no idea what to eat tomorrow, though.

[hippywife]

12. Why would I laugh?

I make tofu cutlets sometimes, too, and the greens sound wonderful! :hi:

[LaraMN]

8. I had a taco.

Hardshell.

If Matcom's around, I'm throwin' out a pre-emptive: "shut up, perv."

[hippywife]

13. Apparently

not many people were around last night at all so I think you're safe. LOL :hi:

[seemunkee]

9. Tandoori turkey burgers

ground turkey with tandoori spice and mango chutney mixed in.

[hippywife]

14. Hmmmm.

That's a new one on me but I bet I would really like it! :hi:

[NMDemDist2]

15. I'm gonna lose my foodie card for this

hotdogs with white bread buns and a can of Ranch Style Beans and boxed vanilla pudding with sliced bananas on top for dessert

:hide:

[bicentennial_baby]

16. !

:spank:

If I didn't lose mine over my sick love of Oscar Mayer thin-sliced bologna, nobody is in danger of losing theirs! :rofl:

:hi:

[NMDemDist2]

17. I'll make up for it tonight with

Cornish Game hens, homemade scalloped taters, green salad with homemade Italian Balsamic dressing, NYT bread and cream cheese sugar cookies

I promise!

:yoiks:

[bicentennial_baby]

18. Mmmmm, scalloped taters....Yummo!

We're making a beef roast and mashed potatoes and asparagus. But, not an Easter dinner, I'm having two classmates over to work on a Econ research paper. What fun...

:P

I haven't had game hens in forever! I should learn to make them...If I can make chicken and turkey, I can probably make those, no?

[NMDemDist2]

19. they're just minature chickens and one is perfect for Mr. K and I

I just wash and pat them dry, salt the cavity, rub em with whatever herbs strike my fancy, squeeze some lemon juice on it and stick the half lemon rind in the cavity and bake

easy peasy and tasty. once they are roasted, I chop em in half and voila! they are a lot of work to eat though getting all the meat off the little carcass. Our store has them on sale regularly for 2 for $3 so it's hard to pass em up. I usually keep a couple in the freezer.

[bicentennial_baby]

20. Excellent, thank you! I think I'll pick some up this week!

Merci, mon amie. :pals:

[hippywife]

30. Sometimes you just need

a night off from the heavy duty cooking, ya know? LOL It's cool, really! I had a little old lady in the grocery store tell me once to sub sweetened condensed milk for half the milk in my cooked (boxed) vanilla pudding and add my bananas. It was the richest, yummiest banana pudding ever!

[WinkyDink]

21. Ham, ham, and ham. But I don't LIKE ham!

[zanne]

23. A big ham, because it was on sale.

We'll be eating ham, ham sandwiches, ham casseroles, eggs n' ham, etc. for quite a while. I'll probably even resort to mac n' cheese and ham. Whatever is cheap is what we have to eat now.

[hippywife]

32. DH doesn't like it, either.

But I sure do. Wish I didn't. I wish someone would hypnotize me and convince me that ham and bacon taste like shit. I really do.

Hope there were lots of other yummy things for you to eat besides ham. Sometimes the side dishes can be a real boon! :hi:

[WinkyDink]

38. Luckily, I love cauliflower!

[taterguy]

22. Freedom

[Shine]

24. I wish we were neighbors cuz then I'd be over at your house all the time......

EATING! :loveya:

We're having burgundy pepper boneless lamb leg, roasted potatoes and steamed asparagus for dinner. :9

:hi: Happy Spring!

[hippywife]

29. I wish we were neighbors, too.

And not just for the eats, sweets! :loveya: Your dinner sounds lovely!

[ironflange]

25. Dinner at the in-laws' *shudder*

Boiled ham, boiled potatoes, and asparagus boiled to a gooey mush. Ick. Better stock up on the snacks for later.

[hippywife]

31. Sorry 'bout that.

Sounds like a lot of good food to ruin that way. Oh well, it's the love that goes into providing and serving it that counts, no? :hi:

[ironflange]

44. I'm back home

It actually wasn't bad. We had a (pre-glazed) spiral cut ham, and scalloped potatoes. The asparagus was still mushy, but the meal was still above average for that venue.

[Gormy Cuss]

26. I'm having dinner at your house.

Okay, fine, so it's too far and you didn't invite me. We're having spicy Portuguese fish stew with oven fried potatoes. It's not an Easter meal, just a Sunday special. It's made with salt cod so the prep started days ago (rehydrating and desalinating the fish.)

[hippywife]

33. Well, if you ever find yourself

in OK, you are more than welcome. No invite needed. I've never had Portuguese fish stew. I'll have to google that one and see what's in it. Doesn't have to be the traditional meal. It's fun to make our own traditions. :hi:

[Gormy Cuss]

36. Thanks. See link for the caldeirada.

The SO makes it somewhat like this but with potatoes on side as the starch course and we add some crushed red pepper:

[hippywife]

37. That sounds pretty good.

I never think of fish when I think of soup or stew for some reason.

Salt cod always has a bad rap in our family. When my mom was pregnant with me, my folks lived with my great-grandparents who came here from Italy. Being good Italian Catholics, they always ate fish on Fridays...every Friday. My great-grandma used salt cod, or bacala as it's known in Italian kitchens. The very smell of it made my mother so ill, she hated to go in the house on Fridays. Between that and great-grandpa's little perodi cigars, she had a miserable pregnancy. LOL

[u4ic]

27. I'll be over at my sister's

As far as I know, we'll be having roast ham (very dry, no doubt), overboiled broccoli, mashed potatoes, pierohi, holubchi, nalysnyky and paska.

I'm going to stuff myself on the latter three.

[hippywife]

34. Hope you enjoy your

ethnic favorites. We have ours on holidays, too, I think because not everyone has taken the time to learn to cook them, or to cook for that matter, LOL. But everyone still loves to eat them!

Hope time with family is fun for you. :hi:

[laylah]

28. Baked chicken,

sweet taties, fresh asparagus, awesome green salad.

[hippywife]

35. Sounds really good, sweetie!

'especially all the veggies. Enjoy! :hi:

[laylah]

39. ...

:hug: Thanks...I did, actually too much. I be (happily) miserable! :hi:

[bermudat]

40. Ordered a prepared dinner from Kroger's.

It was prime rib roast, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatos and green bean casserole with rolls. Husband loved it, looks forwards to eating the same meal everyday til it is gone.

[hippywife]

43. Mmmmm!

Prime rib roast! Sometimes I really miss all the big red meat I used to eat. Just get a little now and then but it's really better that way all the way around.

You guys enjoy your leftovers! :hi:

[LeftyMom]

41. I'm still full from breakfast.

Some friends and I made biscuits and gravy, and they served mine to me with a birthday candle stuck in one of the biscuits because my b'day was monday.

[hippywife]

42. Biscuits and gravy

will certainly stick with you for a long time. A belated Happy Birthday! :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

45. Ham for MrSG, turkey for me.

Scalloped potatoes, mashed potatoes, sauteed asparagus, rolls, and for dessert, boston creme pie with strawberries and whipped cream. :9
