What's For Dinner?

“I skipped my lunch, so I could try and balance the damn company checkbook. Finally found the $.60, but now I am about to starve to death. What's everyone havin' for dinner?”

“We're trying to have something "soft". Baume still hasn't fully recovered from having his wisdom teeth out.”

“By the way, I balanced the checkbook this morning at breakfast and was $20.00 off.”

“leavin work now for a 6:30 softball game....then it will be wings and beer with the team after...to celebrate a win or drown the agony of defeat....:)
no kitchen duties for me tonite! yay”

“It is usually easier to find a big mistake, then a small one. I looked for that $.60 for quite awhile. I'm thinking Enchiladas or Broccoli & Mushroom Stuffed Pasta Shells w/ Marinara. I might also eat a whole bag of Pecan Sandies. I would also enjoy an A&W Dbl. Mozza Burger w/ a RootBeer Cooler. (So far I haven't had to worry about my weight, so I tend to be a glutton.)”

“Dunno. The wife and kids aren't home, so whatever it is it will be a solo experience.

Off subject, but when I got home from my stupid crummy boring job, there were two messages on the recorder from potential future employers.”

“Wasabi Peas! I think I have a can of tuna in the cupboard if the peas don't hold me over.”

“Not a @%#@$ thing. I have an up-the-a$$ procedure tomorrow A.M. as part of my annual physical. Water only for 24 hrs, to be followed by a self-administered enema. So no bitchin from anyone!!”

“Wow, wanderer, sorry. ken, good luck w/ the potentials. I really love to cook. I am kinda' old fashioned where that area is concerned. I love to make big, good meals w/ big, yummy desserts. I wish I had someone beside boring me to cook for. The baby just eats processed fruits and veggies, so that isn't all that fun (it is sorta' cute).”

“I have to get my nails done tonight, then a city planning meeting. So it probably will be TV dinners at 9:00pm MST.”

“Thanks wanderer. I have lost my appetite completely. I hope you fumble the enema and nurse Kratchet has to take over...

...not enough pressure. Hold your balls while I adjust this valve...”

“I puree food at the nursing home.”

“Boiled dinner (corned beef,cabbage,onion,potato and carrot) with corn bread (actually johnny cake). Some chips for a snack later. I bought my first bag of chips in years today. They will be yummy!”

“Hyper, sounds yummie. If I could stand the company I would invite myself over for dinner. LOL”

“Wanderer - ...been there, done that!

Tonight we had rib steaks on the grill, baked potatoes with sour cream and chives, sauteed mushrooms, and doctored up baked beans.

Speaking of beef. I know prices vary all over the country. Rib steak, for example, normally sells for $6-$8/lb here in So. Cal. But if you watch for sales you can get it for $3/lb. So I stock up. Is that the same everywhere? (I can get Porterhouse, New York and Top Sirloin as well on sale...just watch the ads).

Sorry I got off track.”

“I'm having dinner at Phil's house.”

“Going to Mom,s.She is cooking a pot roast,with veggies, light rolls,and will probably have a fresh home made pound cake.YumYum.Newgirl you sound like the woman I have been looking for!LOL.What are you having?”

“Aw shucks bacpac yer makin' me blush...”

“we were big time losers tonight....25-4.....in less than an hour.....didnt even get thru the lineup on our team....yikes.......there was an awesome rainbow tho..
we went to a place called Napolitanos to eat afterwards.
so, it was LOTS of beer, i had an eggplant parmagiana sandwich on some crusty italian bread with a side salad and the rest had hot bird wings and pizza....
we had fun....when we are good , we are very good, but when we are bad, we eat drink and be merry.......”

“So newgirl - don't leave us hanging - what DID you have for dinner?
I had asparagus, radishes, and a spinach salad from the garden, some leftover rice, and strawberries from the garden for dessert. Yummy.”

“Tonight after my game I'll be preparing a grilled pork tenderlion, with garlic onion potatoes fried in peanut oil and a side of steamed greenbeans with onions and peppers.

Good luck wanderer, thank God I am too you to have had to do any of that stuff!”

“Its Friday - going backpacking with the boys. The young ones that is. We are eating Knorrs pasta and pesto sauce with dried mushrooms, fresh carrots and dehydrated mixed veggies. We have Spinach on the side with chocolate pudding for dessert.”

“I don't recommend Wasabi peas for dinner. They won't make a turd.

Oh the humanity”

“Phil, I live in MT. I have lots of cattle ranchin' friends, so the beef is usually really reasonable and fresh off the cow. Toddnc, let me know when you're in for a big homecooked meal. When I was in HS, three bacholers that lived together paid me to cook them a good meal on Sundays. It was fun. LeSubtil, I made the Enchiladas. Yummy.”

“oh you guys are makeing me hungry !!!!!!!!!!!! pasta w/ marinara sauce and lots of mushrooms here. garlic bread and big salad from the garden.”

“well, since i guess y'all are talking about friday night, here...

i had a big, thick, rare top sirloin and a tall glass of iced spiced rum.

oh, and i ate it watching the sunset on the beach of cumberland island.

goooood times!”

“What is everybody's favorite cut of steak. I love the porterhouse!”

“Favorite cuts of steak:
1. Porterhouse
2. Rib, rib eye, club, or Spencer (basically the same) I believe”

“Friday night I was on the trail (see Pictured Rocks Thread) so I had Velveeta Shells and Cheese. I put the shells and the packet of cheese in a large zip-loc baggie. After boiling the noodles, i put them back in the zip-loc and squeeze the cheese into it. zip it shut and mush it till its all combined. eat w/ fork. my favorite backpacking dinner!”

“I like a good Porterhouse, but lately I have been getting Ribeyes.

If you like steak try this. Sprinkle sugar on both sides of the steak with salt and pepper. Let it sit in the fridge for an hour and right on a hot grill.

Mmmmmm.....”

“I like T-bones.”

“Sirloin or a Filet Mignon. A bit of worchestire sauce,garlic powder and pepper,some grilled onions and mushrooms.”

“Friday night we had a Filet Mignon while watching Yosemite Falls through the window of the dining room of Yosemite Lodge in Yosemite Valley after a wonderful day hike to Sunrise Lakes from the Tenaya Lake trailhead on the Tioga Road near Tuolumne Meadows. Last night back at home behind the Redwood curtain we had Abalone steaks dredged in egg and flour with hot spicey peas and rice.”

“tonight is pizza night here. just waitin for dad to bring it home.”

“Roast beef, mashed potatoes and sweet corn still on the cobb.....mmmmmmm good!”

“Grilled chicken, broccoli in cheese sauce, hominy and pineapple. Smells great.
Smiles, Mary”

“Yum!

Just finished a big bowl of Puffed Wheat with bannana and a couple of toasted Black Raspberry Jam sandwichs.


I like breakfast for Dinner.”

“junk food!!!!...i love being an adult...nothing beats the occasional crackers and cheese wiz, pretzels, and bear dinner”

“Something with pasta. The last few days were pulled pork sandwiches on the weekend, then beef soup, then chicken fingers w/dipping sauces last night w/baked garlic mashed potatoes. I buy those really tender chicken tenders to make them with.”

“Chicken and dumplings today. We had a rotisery chicken from Costco last night w/ mashed potatoes. I made stock from the bird's carcass and had tons of left over chicken and potatoes. I love mashed potato dumplings, they are true comfort food for me.”

“Do you have a recipe for the mashed potato dumplings? That sounds really good.

Tonight is beans and rice with lots of tomatoes, caramelized onions and locally made smoked sausage. Yummers. I also used the little red beans, not kidney beans. These have a smoother texture and different flavor that melds really well with everything else.”

“I'm on my own tonight. I had boneless hot wings and macaroni salad.
