The Kitchen Table

What's for Dinner, Thursday?

9 years ago

More snow and squalls today. Looks like one more day of snow, and then mild temperatures and rain are coming in. I shovelled this morning and will do so again tomorrow. I quite enjoy shovelling, and I like helping out the landlords.

I spiced some chicken breasts and sauteed them. Steamed/sauteed some broccoli and heated up the leftover roasted brussels sprouts. We didn't even have a starch, which is very rare.

I think you're the only person I know who says they enjoy shoveling snow. I'll bet the landlords really like your help.

I had ground turkey gravy over quinoa. Also, had steamed vegetables. Now nibbling on an apple.

I had the leftovers from last night's roast chicken. Now the bones are in a soup pot. Hubby had some chili from the pot he fixed for hunting camp.

Jim, I always make extra potatoes to have fried. Whether boiled or mashed. Yummmm a nice crust on fried mashed potatoes. A Reuben has always intrigued me because I love sauerkraut, but have never had one, Pam. Raven that is true comfort food isn't it? GM, your pastas always sound so good. Shirley, your tilapia reminds me that I must take some fish from the freezer and have a fillet. Jim you went to a lot of work with your pizza. Sounds delicious.

Soft foods...yuck!!! I had sinus surgery last Friday and still can't do any chewing for another week. I am sick of yogurt, broth, mashed potatoes, oatmeal, etc... My dream meal for tonight is a crusty sourdough baguette slice topped with olive tapenade. My entree will be a steak with sautÃÂ©ed mushrooms and a ceasar salad and more crusty bread! A big peanut butter cookie for dessert!

Same as yesterday -- Various snacks, cheeses, hors d'oeuvres, mini sandwiches, chocolate-dipped fruits, and brownies at a Christmas party. Yesterday was a retirement party for the head of the University Library where I work, today was a shindig put on by a large realty firm at which friends of ours work.

Jasdip, we put a big pork butt on the grill over the weekend and enjoyed it with a pile of slaw. It's a full day commitment but seemed like a good Labor Day weekend project. Last night, I made a garlicky, gingery chicken stir fry with lots of fresh vegetables, served with brown rice and toasted almonds. I don't know why I don't make something like that more often, it's a favorite.

Well then head to Buffalo and enjoy.
Polished off the Lasagna. Four hot, simple delicious meals for $1.30 each was handy. Munching Reese Cups, but a bowl of Carmel Ice Cream sounds tempting.

Stuffed green peppers are in the oven for husband. I am having a large artichoke and some more of that cheese toast. Love that bread! I'm going to turn into a big butter / Parmesan ball if I don't quit making, and eating, it. Good thing the French bread is almost gone.

Still eating soft foods, but who's complaining? Leftover lentil soup with an added sandwich for Robert.

Jasdip, as a child growing up in the snowbelt of central NY, I enjoyed shoveling snow, too, though I was the only girl among three brothers. I get it! I also liked hoeing and weeding our huge veggie garden. I still like those kinds of activities, though I haven't had to shovel in about forty years, lol.

Deeby, I cooked a large ham in my stock pot with green beans and potatoes. We love that all simmered together.

Kittie, a pot pie sounds wonderful. Did you make it from scratch?

Angela, at least you offset the cheese toast with an artichoke! LOL

OF, I know that Buffalo stadium was looking for about 500 people to shovel in time for the Bills Game. But they recanted that tonite and cancelled the game.

Phyllis, you and Old Fixer were on the same wave-length with your lasagnas.

Pam, we love roast chicken, and I always make broth from the roasted bones. Haven't attempted soup yet, though.

Shirley, our landlords do appreciate us. They tell us that, and they share their bounty from their garden with us, and let us use part of it to plant whatever we wanted.

Shirley you eat so well. Very healthy, and an apple to boot.
