DH will have some pizza from the freezer. He asked for that the other night so he shall get it tonight. There's a small serving of the shrimp scampi left over from last night. I will have that with a salad. By the way, Patti, if you should try it someday, since I cooked up the garlic in the melted butter and topped it off for a stronger butter garlic taste, I would cut back a little on the garlic I used in the base sauce. It was really garlicky.

I love chicken curry salad. Yum.

Today was a treat. Luncheon group was invited by one of our members to meet at the private club her family belongs to, and there were 17 of us. You can tell from the picture we were overlooking B'ham, but wouldn't know it for the rain and fog. We all dressed up for the occasion.

They have several restaurants in The Club and one we dined in was called The View.

I had hazelnut crusted pan seared scallops, green tomato pie, and beer cheese soup and their FAMOUS orange rolls, that are to die for,

Recipes for Rice - Week 2 February 2013

Mexican Rice from AmericaÃ¢ÂÂs Test Kitchen Because the spiciness of jalapeÃÂ±os varies from chili to chili, we try to control the heat by removing the ribs and seeds (the source of most of the heat) from those chills that are cooked in the rice. Use an oven safe pot about 12 inches in diameter so that the rice cooks evenly and in the time indicated. The potÃ¢ÂÂs depth is less important than its diameter; weÃ¢ÂÂve successfully used both a straight-sided sautÃÂ© pan and a Dutch oven. Whichever type of pot you use, it should have a tight-fitting, oven safe lid. Vegetable broth can be substituted for chicken broth. 2 medium tomato, ripe tomatoes (about 12 ounces) cored and quartered 1 medium onion, preferably white, peeled, trimmed of root end,and quartered 3 medium jalapeno peppers 2 cups long grain white rice 1/3 cup canola oil 4 clove of garlic, minced or pressed through a garlic press (about 4 teaspoons) 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth 1 tablespoon tomato paste 1 1/2 teaspoons table salt 1/2 cup cilantro, fresh, minced 1 lime, cut into wedges for serving Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Process tomatoes and onion in food processor until smooth and thoroughly pureed, about 15 seconds, scraping down bowl if necessary. Transfer mixture to liquid measuring cup; you should have 2 cups (if necessary, spoon off excess so that volume equals 2 cups). Remove ribs and seeds from 2 jalapeÃÂ±os and discard; mince flesh and set aside. Mince remaining jalapeÃÂ±o, including ribs and seeds; set aside. Place rice in large fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until water runs clear, about 1 1/2 minutes. Shake rice vigorously in strainer to remove all excess water. Heat oil in heavy-bottomed ovensafe 12-inch straight-sided sautÃÂ© pan or Dutch oven with tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat, 1 to 2 minutes. Drop 3 or 4 grains rice in oil; if grains sizzle, oil is ready. Add rice and fry, stirring frequently, until rice is light golden and translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, add garlic and seeded minced jalapeÃÂ±os; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir in pureed tomatoes and onions, chicken broth, tomato paste, and salt; increase heat to medium-high and bring to boil. Cover pan and transfer to oven; bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, 30 to 35 minutes, stirring well after 15 minutes. Stir in cilantro and reserved minced jalapeÃÂ±o with seeds to taste. Serve immediately, passing lime wedges separately. Serves 6-8 as a side dish

Patti, it's not really a wine tasting. We have a group of 7 couples that go out to dinner once a month. Each month a different couple hosts. They serve cocktails and appetizers and pick a restaurant for us to go to. Each couple gets separate checks so we're free to order as much or as little as we want because we pay our own way. We just call it Wine and Dine. Actually, we call our group Fun and Dine because there are many groups in our area and we've all been in groups that were more like Whine and Dine! This group got together about eleven years ago and we have a really nice time.

Here ya go teraserva. Black bean salsa chicken 4 skinless/boneless chicken breast halves 1 can black beans rinsed and drained 1 jar (about 2 cups) your favorite salsa 1 to 2 cups shredded mexican or cheddar cheese Spread beans in bottom of baking dish (an 8 inch square works well) Arrange chicken on top, then spread salsa evenly over it. Bake at 350 for 35 minutes. Remove from oven and spread cheese over it. Return to oven for about 5 minutes to melt. I add about 2 cups of mexicorn to the bean layer to make it a heartier meal for dh who is diabetic. Rice as Glenda said she served with it would be good, but rice sends hubby's blood sugar through the roof. We always enjoy a few of those baked 'Scoops' and a dollop of sour cream with it.

I have a pork roast in the oven, I stuffed it with garlic and added mushrooms and lots of onions so I will have a wonderful brown gravy to have my rice and gravy. yummy

It's a wet cold dreary day, roast is a good comfort food.

Yoga,tonight we will get our yummy pasta take out again;) I went by a Thai place that is also on my home today and got there menu~~~so we may work that into our take out nights;) Anything so I do not have to cook on those nights.

I went to mail a couple of pkgs at the post office today and they are closed now from 12noon-1pm for their lunch break. Interesting we all read in the paper about being closed and no delivery on Saturdays, but nothing about , closing at lunch time??? Did you all know this?

I was feeling so warm in my house today as the outside temps were in low 60s and sunshine. Now it's cloudy and down to high 30s, I need a jacket. It's been like this a lot this winter here in Ohio.

I was really extravagant with my meal.........I had a pot pie. Easy and cheap.

We had scalloped potatoes and ham. I forgot the ham, but I remembered the brownies. Patti, I love my laptop. I rarely use the desktop.

Cheryl and I took Lily to the vet for Amber as Lily had a dental appointment. We left her as she would be there all day. From there we went to a near by town and shopped. Went to the Dollar Tree, Joann's and Hobby Lobby and going to Meijer for a few things later. We had a great lunch at the Golden Corral. I had a fried chicken leg, meatloaf, buttered fish, pot roast vegetables, a baked sweet potato, coleslaw, a salad, a piece of carrot cake, a little bit of peach cobbler with ice cream on it and a piece of some kind of yummy chocolate ball coated in chopped peanuts. All the food was really good. No supper for me tonight. I came home and a couple hours later I rode with Amber and Alyssa to pick up Lily who did fine. It was a good day.
It was very windy today and cloudy.

Well, Glenda, n0w y0u're sp0iled--what a great view and even better lunch, especially with friends. Wish y0u had better weather, but 0therwise perfect!

Raven, y0u're s0 creative and dinner will be just great, I bet. Enj0y!

Pam, as y0u kn0w, I've been kn0wn t0 f0rget things als0. Still s0unds g00d, especially the ch0c0late!

Sue, I w0uldn't be able t0 eat, either, but y0u sure had a hearty lunch. Glad Lily is well. I h0pe y0u just left last night's chili and cherry pie where y0u put it last night--in case s0me0ne asks what's f0r dinner. ((Sue))

Jody fried some chicken and made biscuits and gravy. The biscuits were the frozen kind, but pretty good. I asked him "What are you cooking tomorrow?" ;)

Ge0rgysm0m, I c0pied/pasted the recipe last night and definitely plan t0 try it. N0 such thing as t00 much garlic, I say ;-)

Marilyn, Pillsbury fr0zen biscuits are really g00d, but if y0u ever tried mine, y0u'd understand why I say that! J0die sure kn0ws a g00d meal! BTW, I l00ked f0r that squeeze b0ttle c0c0nut stuff in the st0re but they didn't have it. Guess I'll have t0 try the liqu0r st0re.

That damned "0" is driving me crazy!

If I sh0uld suddenly disappear, w0uld s0me0ne please h0st the "What's f0r dinner"? I have a feeling this thing is ab0ut t0 be hist0ry. 0ne way 0r the 0ther! I've had it at least five years. Maybe m0re.

I usually say that about garlic too, Patti but this may have been a tad too much. I would cut back the garlic I said by one clove. Don't say I didn't warn you. LOL

just get a new keyboard they go bad and losing a key is one of the first things to go. If you were near me I would give you one I have several, thrift stores always have piles of them.
I just saw one of the big letter glow in the dark ones at bed bath and beyond on their clearance table for under $10.
Big Lots has several too.
