What's for Dinner ... Friday?

9 years ago

Can you believe that I am still under the weather? I start feeling better, then go down hill again. I will start the thread but not come back for comments. For anyone who wants to, feel free to do so.

I made vegetable soup this afternoon. I also put a few Rhodes dinner rolls in to bake. Will eat some leftover fish for my protein.

I hope all of you stay well throughout the holiday season.

Please share your main meal plans for today.

Nothing! I went to two Christmas parties this afternoon and had enough calories for two weeks! I am more stuffed than Santa!

I am going to try a Banquet sausage and gravy pot pie. Never had it before. I also have some hot cocoa. May find something else to add to it.

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.

Hi Shirley, we are at a bar getting set up to play. Before we left I marinated a couple of chicken breast in olive oil lemon juice, dijon and garlic and herbs and put them on the little gril. We had quinoa salad and fresh rolls. We're in for hot humid temperatures this week end.

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.

I love Cornflakes, but not Kellogg's. Compliments brand (a store brand). Tonite was the first time I've felt like eating anything substantial since I was sick, on Wed. All I had yesterday was a bowl of cream of wheat. I cooked some potatoes, heated a can of creamed corn, fried some onions and had the other hamburger patties. It was all great, except the potatoes had zip flavour. We bought them last week at a roadside stand that sells vegetables. They were supposed to be Yukon Gold, and they weren't, either. The last bag of potatoes we bought were from our store, new potatoes and they had incredible flavour. Very, very disappointed, in the local potatoes. I'll use them strictly for home-fries and oven fries where they can be spiced up to add flavour.

Pita Hut for appetizer of falafel. They served me four big ones, so I have two leftover for tomorrow's lunch.

Son's lady is coming to do some Christmas goodies baking on Saturday and I picked up their great hummus and pita chips to go with lunch.

We didn't feel like anything too heavy or complicated, so we had grilled cheese with home fries. It was just right.

I sure hope you're not coming down with anything serious, Shirley!

It's good to see you again Sue.

I made a huge pot of chop suey this afternoon and am waiting for two of my families to return to eat. We are going to have our Christmas party tomorrow PM at a motel in a neighboring town, and they have taken all of our goodies up there.

We're going to make pizzas in a little while...the dough is rising. I've got mushrooms, sweet and jalapeno peppers, onions, Italian sausage, tomatoes, some nice mozzarella, fresh basil, and a sprinkle of fennel and oregano. Plus some leftover salad.

We went back to my sisters for more of her awesome Gumbo and sides.
Tomorrow is the big family Christmas lunch at a different sisters house. I am making a big bunch of boiled shrimp for the appetizer table.
We hit the custom meat market today to stock up on the smoked sausage and tasso and boneless stuffed chickens, stuffed with shrimp. And their yummy jerky, I am all set.

Shirley I sure hope you are getting better rather than worse, take care and get plenty of rest.
