What's for Dinner ... Friday?

9 years ago

Today feels like a typical August... hot and humid. We haven't had any rain the last couple of days, even though it had been predicted for my part of Ohio. I've had enough to last me a long time.

I am having chicken livers, noodles alfredo, and steamed mixed vegetables for my evening meal.

Are you having summer weather today? And what was or will be your main meal today?

Used one of the 4 gift cards, my friends gave me for my birthday.

Ashley Mac's for her 3 salad combo: chicken salad, pimento salad and baby blue salad with her awesome mini sour cream biscuit.

DH and I went shopping today. Looking for new carpeting for his room and a new mattressÃ¢ÂÂ¦..such fun! He did take me to lunch afterwards. I had fish tacos and he had fried shrimp and cole slaw. DD and SIL are coming over in a little bit for a visit so I made a few low calorie appetizers and we'll have some wine. That's our dinner. She never wants to eat dinner because she watches her weight when in town. They're always on the road and the diet becomes a problem. (If a strong wind came along, it would blow her away)

Chili, toast and a green tossed salad. Easy, peasy, 'cause tonight is game 7 between New York and Tampa Bay. Winner tonight plays the winner of tomorrow nights game 7 between Anahiem and Chicago for the Stanley Cup. Tomorrow night is the gang coming over for a BBQ to watch the big game.

I had an enjoyable husband-less evening last night. He went night fishing with a buddy; left around five and returned after eleven. I collected some garden veggies and made a quick stir fry with some thawed frozen shrimp, garlic, and ginger. Plus a nice glass of wine, long gab sessions with family and friends, Orange is the New Black binging, and I was a happy camper for a few hours, lol. He sent me text videos of the water, of fish they caught (and released), of bats swooshing around the boat lights, of the sunset, and even of their hilarious banter. So I had a great evening!

Just made some Caesar salad dressing and topped the salad with blackened salmon for DH. I was too tired to eat myself. Maybe in a little bit. Returned home from a golfing trip with the ladies….3 days of golf and late nights. Took one day off except for Mexican train last night and played golf today. Looking forward to a quiet weekend.

Oh dear....not the ideal dinner for us! We had been invited to some close friends' home for dinner over a week ago. I asked if there was anything I could bring and she insisted that everything was covered.....she was making lasagna. She turned down my offer of a salad. I love lasagna, but I have a real problem with wheat pasta. When I make it, it's a veggie layered meal, with ricotta, Italian sausage, gooey and delicious but no wheat noodles. She had yummy appetizers, puff pastry treats mostly, which I adore but can't eat much of. Luckily, there was a veggie platter. Her lasagna smelled and tasted divine, but I knew if I ate more than a bite that I'd suffer all weekend. And NO salad! I guess I'm going to have to declare myself 'wheat free' to my friends. I've never been to a restaurant or dinner where there were zero options and this was a bit of a shock. We stopped at McDonald's on the way home so I could have their Southwestern salad with grilled chicken. Robert stuffed himself with lasagna, lol.

About half inch of rain this morning. Otherwise warmish. The humidity is to be here until Monday or later.

I generally fix something that the missus overlooks in the fridge, so tonight will be grill eggplant, a green salad, cherry tomatoes and some other veggie. She declined to go to Weight Watchers this morning, I'll not be the one to add to the situation.

We've got the same weather Shirley, hot and humid. We need a rain, the gardens are dry and the trees leaves are hanging down. We've had rain, but it doesn't take long for things to dry up.

We had another meal of ham and potatoes, and beans. There was a bundle of fresh kale from the garden outside our door, so a salad is in the making tomorrow with it.

There's another meal of ham left, but I'm going to freeze it for another day, instead of eating it till we're sick of it.

Only mid 80's, but the 100% humidity is helping. Hoping a warm spell drops by for a few days, and thousands of smiles at the beach. Working on Happy Hour now with some Tequila. Will settle for a simple BLT with jumbo tomato that hangs over the bread and drips juice. Ample room for some Ice Cream.

Hot here- mid 90's. Sunny too. Perfect weather in my opinion. I hear a thunderstorm starting now though.

We met friends for dinner tonight at a Thai restaurant. DH and I had sushi, a noodle dish similar to pad Thai, veggie spring rolls and a piece of coconut cake.

I bought some bratwurst at the store that were on sale. I boiled them gently so they were fully cooked and then browned them in a pan with chopped onion, green pepper and sauerkraut.
And I made homemade potato salad, which turned out the best I've even made.

Glenda: Those gift cards are nice, aren't they? The meal items you chose all sound like good summer fare.

Georgysmom: Good luck on your new purchases. What kind of fish is used in a taco? They sound interesting. Sometimes I'd like a meal with just appetizers, if I had a slice of good bread too.

Jim: A vegetarian type meal. Will she like what you fix?

Jasdip: One of my favorite meals. You get so many good meal ideas using leftover ham. Wise gal though to freeze some for later down the road.

Old Fixer: That's the way my orange tomato slice was on my egg salad sandwich I had for lunch. What's the ice cream flavor of the day?

Kittiemom: It sounds as if you had a good time out tonight. I'll take some of your noodle dish, and would sit up and beg for a small piece of your cake. lol

Bob: Never thought of boiling them first. I wouldn't mind having some of your mixture on a hot dog bun. I'm a big fan of most homemade potato salads.

Seafood! The boiled shrimp were huge and very good. Everything was excellent. Had a pool party at my sisters house and really enjoyed the pool. Great visit with mom she was very aware and knew exactly who I was. We never know these days so that was a wonderful thing. Her 92nd birthday party is tomorrow.

We met some friends downtown for a fun night of walking from one restaurant to another, enjoying live music and an appetizer and a drink along the way. So, my evening meal consisted of a California roll, stuffed mushrooms, shrimp skewers, crab stuffed cherry tomatoes, and a side salad.

Robert had to be the designated driver because I can't see worth a darn at night so I enjoyed a cocktail or three, too. Great fun but a nap will be on my itinerary today, lol.
