Who is cooking your dinner tonight?
Total Votes: 12
Okay, I confess. I'm hungry, and, therefore, thinking about food. All sorts of awesome flavors are teasing my mind right now, like bacon double cheeseburgers, chocolate covered-strawberries, chicken tenders, barbequed, shredded pork sandwiches...... MMmmmmmmm......... Chocolate milkshake, tomato soup with a grilled cheese, loaded baked potato.....
So, I'm wondering. What are you having for dinner?
I can't have milkshakes, or strawberries, or bbq sandwiches, or chicken tenders, but gosh they sound good!!!
#1 - Thu Nov 12, 2009 2:44 PM ESTHaving healthy '10 minute' meal tonight. Red clam sauce (homemade) over spaghetti squash with garlic bread and salads. Fixing it with my spouse help.
Now, why can't you have milkshakes, strawberries, bbq, or chicken tenders?
I usually nuke a dinner, have a sandwich or cereal. Thrilling, huh? My son is rarely home anymore, when he is we'll make pasta of some kind. Pushing the culinary boundaries.
#2 - Thu Nov 12, 2009 4:07 PM ESTHi River - yeah my staff is cooking tonight. lols I wish! I think I'm going for the hot dogs and chips buffet.

Dang River - glad your daughter came to the rescue with Wendys. I was hoping you were doing much better now. :-\
A little note for the *believe it or not* crew..... I received a food stamp card in the mail just yesterday, with funding on it.
Finally you can get real food River. I'm so happy something good has finally happened for you. I seem to recall the denials and other red tape you've had to go through. Unbelievable that a person who has nothing has to prove it. How do you prove you don't have anything?
What a mess this has been for you River. But finally a light at the end of tunnel. And hopefully no more neckbones for dinner either. Yuck! Take care of yourself - a lot of us are thinking about ya.
Not nearly as large of a payout as we were told to expect, but we will be OKAY.
I'm glad River that things are better for you. I can't imagine going through all of the things you had to do this past year. You're a strong woman River!
Enjoy that shrimp and don't forget Augur Well is coming to pick us up for his next rib BBQ. lols
You bet! (*pinkgrins*!)
I made homemade chicken pot pies-including homemade pie shells. It took me 2 hours but they were good :) I made one for myself and one for my family (they don't like all the veggies I do). Then I had Woodchuck Hard Cider to drink and we are having a Strawberry Cake with Whipped Icing for dessert :) Sorry to make you salivate...I wish I could send you some through Cyber Space...maybe someday :)
I am going gluten free on Sunday so I am getting all of the wheat, barley and rye I can now! LOL!
#4 - Thu Nov 12, 2009 7:06 PM ESTHome made black bean chili with beef! YuMMMMMMM! Oh - yeah - can't forget the cornbread muffins!

That's what they make tums for! LOL
It is still pretty early but I am already thinking about what I will make for dinner tonight. I have given up on take out and microwaved food, mostly because I was spending a lot of money for the convenience. I can make a filet mignon dinner for less then I spend on ordering a pizza. In fact that is what I have to make tonight. Poor me, lol. I think to go along with the steak I will make baked sweet potatoes with cinnamon and brown sugar butter and steamed asparagus. Not too shabby…now all I have to do is make it to the end of the day.
#6 - Fri Nov 13, 2009 11:16 AM ESTI learned the butter trick on the Food Network. You can pretty much infuse any flavors you like, sweet or savory. Cream the butter and mix in the flavor, roll it into a tube shape in plastic wrap, into the fridge, cut and serve. Looks fancy :)
Don't get me wrong, frozen entrees are fine for a quick fix but they are more expensive and no where near as tasty. And if it isn't delicious I don't really want it. lol
No green stuff, River... or just not the asparagas?
Just like Soovie! Yea, my staff is preparing dinner tonight.
I AM the staff! roflmbo!
(*pinkgrins*!)
(but I'm doing up a rack of ribs tonight! nanananana!)
#7 - Fri Nov 13, 2009 11:40 AM ESTHi River! Can't tell ya yet! Only 1.30 pm here at the moment, dinner about 4.30!
But I've never had anyone spit them back out yet!
(*pinkgrins*!)
Just like Soovie! Yea, my staff is preparing dinner tonight.
Augur - I think we have the same staff(s). Mine did cook hot dogs and I know it was a lot of work for them. lols
I would of shared River!
The next rack I make up, River and Soov, y'all are invited over!
(btw, they were tasty tonight. all all gone too! yum!
(*pinkgrins*!)
River and Soov, y'all are invited over!
Yay - you gonna come and get us Augur? Can hubby come too? That would be fun!
Absolutely! I've got plenty of plates! And ribs! (*pinkgrins*!)
Pork chops, wild rice and steamed veggies.
#8 - Fri Nov 13, 2009 1:39 PM ESTMmmm.... I like wild rice....
#9 - Sun Nov 15, 2009 11:17 AM ESTNow that I read about it, I am kind of hungry. It's almost 5 p.m. and I haven't had anything to eat yet today. He who controls the remote is cooking beans and ham hocks (I hope that is spelled right) with cornbread. I'd rather eat toe jam spread on moldy crackers! Fortunately, I will probably find something in the big white box a little tastier (I hope). LOL
Glad you got those food stamps, River -- go eat!
#10 - Sun Nov 15, 2009 5:56 PM ESTGosh River ... sorry you're having to deal with all that you are. I hope your life gets easier soon.
I'm cooking tonight. Homemade chicken soup. I'll admit it, I'm a chicken-broth snob ... have to make it myself ... herbs, onions, celery, garlic, boiling down the bones, then strain and de-fat it. When I can get them, it's good to throw in a chicken foot or two, but not necessary. Adds a wonderful "gelatin" consistency to the broth. The main reason, however, is that it's like penicillin ... except that it boosts the immune system, and I can control the sodium ... most purchased broths have way too much salt in them. I do a huge pot ... freeze a good bit of it for other times. We're also having a crusty bread with it.
#11 - Sun Nov 15, 2009 6:37 PM ESTLOL ... all I can say is that it does make the difference in a good broth and a great broth :-)
I've got the duty. Grilled pork chops with a spice rub. Acorn squash with brown sugar and a side of string beans.
Don't be embarassed about the stamps. You paid for them with your taxes many times over.
#12 - Sun Nov 15, 2009 8:15 PM ESTAcorn squash with brown sugar.... I've not ever had that.
Easy schmeezy. And not too dear.
Split in half, scoop out seeds, place in a cake pan or pie pan or cookie sheet. Sprinkle brown sugar, place in 350 oven for an hour. Enjoy. Drizzel on some honey if you like.
Well folks, only 12 of us voted, and just 16% of that 12 were planning to eat out. Wonder if the restaurant industry is feeling much of a pinch these days?
