DLers: What are you having for Dinner?

Tonight I had: Lamb Vindaloo with rice, Chana Masala(both Trader Joe's™ frozen entrees), steamed broccoli, sliced tomatoes, baby carrots and red pepper strips. Iced tea and a zeppoli(I love these things, and they'll be unavailable after Sunday 😢) for dessert.

roast chicken with potatoes

Pork strips marinated in lime and orange juice, garlic, and cumin sautéed with onions, eaten on a soft tortilla with salsa of Serrano, cilantro, onion, and lime juice, and a pinch of sugar. Cucumber thin sliced strips dressed lightly with lime juice and a pinch of salt. Sliced avocado. Lemon curd squares for dessert..

A packaged Caesar salad from a grocery store. It was a B-minus.

Beef and bean enchiladas with homemade guajillo/ancho chile sauce. And a margarita (ok, two of them).

r1 Buona festa, Bronzie.

I had a (2nd) soup I made from beef bones, Uzbek lagman style. The 1st soup I used them for was was phô. Had it with purple cabbage coleslaw.

Double Whopper with cheese.

🍀 I wanted to beat the St. Patricks Day rush, so I had a Rueben and fries from my Irish Pub.

Hamburger patties and garlic mashed potatoes.

A steady diet of DL and midrange finger foods.

I made Chicken Avgolemono (Egg Lemon) Soup.

Grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup

Poached salmon filets, skin side down, in an easy 50% reduction poaching fluid for 7 minutes made from: 1:2 dry white Vermouth and water, sliced onion and lemon rings, capers, black pepper corns, and dill, that had been simmered for 10' and reduced before adding the salmon; steamed white rice; asparagus boiled in the leftover above poaching liquid, a big glass of Joel Gott 2021 Chardonnay. 30 minutes total. It was elegant, but partner and I scarfed it down in 15 minutes. Despite that we're stuffed, would kill for a slice of berry pie and real coffee. Instead, we're sipping on instant decaf coffee with Bailey's and some microwaved Fig Newtons from the back of the freezer, which expired last year.

r12 -- Kali orexi!

Chicken tray bake with broccoli, sweet potato, carrot and parsnip and steamed chard. Delicious!Anonymous

^bump

It’s Saint Patrick’s Day so what are you asking? Corned beef with potatoes and carrots. Isn’t that the menu today?

Rice and quinoa mix with frozen chicken strips and frozen vegetables heated up in toaster oven. I make the rice mix and vary it with different things all week.

Two large, depressing, hamburger patties with some joyless sugar-free ketchup. I'm doing keto. Oh and a glass of Crystal Light lemonade, which is actually pretty good.

Tuna salad on rye and popcorn.

Ham and cheddar cheese sandwich on a French roll, with a little mayo and Dijon. Had a ginger ale and some Tillamook coffee almond fudge ice cream for dessert.

Weird cold snap so I'm making meatloaf (always sounds disgusting) and mashed potatoes and gravy. Comfort food.

R23 that ice cream is fantastic. I can eat half a carton in one sitting.

It's Friday during Lent and I am heading to Jack's for a Pollock sandwich meal.

Wish they would keep it on the menu all year long..

Planning to make mushroom & refried bean quesadillas, with sour cream, salsa, avocado and lime eaten with butter lettuce caesar salad. Snacking on celery & carrots, chips, salsa & shaved parmesan now. So the rest may never happen.

I made larb gia and shrimp toast. came out really great - and opened a nice bottle of wine.

Cavatappi w/Marcella's tomato sauce #3, w/Parmigiano-Reggiano, and a salad. I always take the pasta out a little early to finish cooking it in the sauce.

Corned beef and a cabbage-noodle dish.

Sunday:

Meatloaf sandwich on Martin's Potato bread. Made the meatloaf yesterday using a box of stovetop stuffing as the binder, very good.

Talenti Cold Brew Sorbetto (recommendation from a DLer on the "foods you can't keep in the house" thread, it's good).

I winged it. In a cast iron skillet I threw in diced potatoes (boiled for 5 minutes before i sauteed in olive oil), and diced turkey franks. Mixed in lots of broccoli and some diced roasted red pepper. Its also my meal prep for Monday and Tues.

Chicken curry. Wasn’t bad.

R29 that sounds soooo goood !

I will be making Gosht Do-piaza if the damn lamb is thawed enough.

has thawed*

Thanks to another thread, going to have Kraft Mac N' Cheese, with chopped celery, onion, and a cup of frozen peas added to the boiling water a few minutes before draining. Then, after reheating and mixing in the milk, butter and packet of fluorescent orange 'cheeze' powder, I'll add a can of tuna and maybe some shredded (real) cheese. Hope it's edible.

Sunday, I had some leftover Chinese carryout for a late lunch, so I kept dinner light with light vegetable barley soup. I was tempted to open a jar of apple sauce I've had for quite a while, because I was craving something sweet, but used willpower to hold off on that.

Roasted salmon and roasted avocados. I'm still a fat whore, but a fat whore with marginally better triglyceride levels.

Tuna, blueberries, a dinner roll

Shrimp Ceviche and garlic toast.

Homemade pound cake with ice cream. It's cheat day.

Recently I taught myself to make tom kha gai — for some reason I thought it would be difficult, but it's super easy. The lady at the Asian market guided me to the "right" kind of coconut cream to use, and I bought dehydrated kaffir lime leaves from Amazon. So that's tonight's dinner.

Bone broth and a cigarette

No IV tonight Gwyneth? Too many calories?

She can't cook so I guess she would refer to stock as "bone broth".

Broiled pork chops and sauteed spinach. Iced tea and a few Oreos.

Pot roast in the slow cooker all day. A crunchy cabbage and carrot slaw with lots of cilantro, parsley. edamame, green onion, toasted almond slivers and a dijon/red wine vinaigrette I whipped up. Good Sunday dinner on a chilly evening.

Today is my food skip day and I have my prescriptions, my supplements, a potassium cap and 30 grams of protein powder.

Tomorrow is a food day.

Interesting, but ever since I added K2(mk7) I have not had hunger pangs.

Oops, time for my Red Light therapy.

baked potatoes and green salad. It is my comfort food, when it is chill out.

Supermarket rotisserie chicken with raspberry-lime sparkling water, and for dessert, a mini Haagen Dazs ice cream bar and some bite-sized lemon-cream wafers.

I hate to cook.

i am hooked on those HD ice cream bars.

^^ They are superior in taste and quality to many other well-known brands, especially the store ones.

Sous vide corned beef glazed with cloves and honey mustard. Parsley red potatoes. Red and green sauteed cabbage. Braised carrots a la Greg. Soda bread and butter. Key lime pie from Whole Foods. Partner's oafish friend attended, bringing nothing but her appetite, eating like a pig and complaining about the dessert. Guessing she was raised by wolves.

R4, did she rave about the carrots?

I made zuppa di pesce and homemade Italian bread tonight. Pretty damn good.

I just tried something which I thought was not going to work out but it turned out amazing. I put a few tablespoons of olive oil in a pan along with a laurel leaf, some oregano, alot of italian chili flakes, some pepper, sliced garlic and I left it in a very low flame until it simmered...I never let it simmer too long and removed the pan from the fire for a minute every once in a while to prevent the oil or the ingredients from burning...finally after a few minutes I added morsel sized pieces of chicken breast I had doused in some cornstarch and some chopped green onions...once the chicken was done I turned off the fire and added cooked spaghetti and some soy sauce. Finally I plated it up, adding a few drops of fish sauce, a squeeze of lemon juice and some more green onions. Turned out a million times better than I thought.....super good, though the noodles were even better at room temperature. The squirt of lemon juice is key.

Anyway, I had that...a sort of italian/asian fusion noodle/spaghetti thing. Highly recomend.

Sirloins on sale at the Kroger with a Trader Joe Greek Salad.

Two oatmeal raisin cookies.

It's now midnight and I'm hungry again.

I am getting hungry too.

I thought the carrots were delicious, Greg. Our guest was too much of a clod to say so. This was a belated St Patrick's Day celebration and my partner said something like, "We'll have to do this every year." I thought, "not if you bring this cow." She was sprung on me at the last minute.

Crispy Chilli Beef with plain rice. I didn't have the time or the motivation for the egg fried rice she mentions although I've made it in the past and it's good. I like this British woman, her recipes are good and not complicated.

I'll have some frozen dark cherries Iater, I like them partially thawed with a little bit of crunch to them.

[quote] I was tempted to open a jar of apple sauce I've had for quite a while, because I was craving something sweet, but used willpower to hold off on that.

Whew, dodged a bullet there. Apple sauce can be very tempting, but dangerous.

IMO, the Haagen Dazs bars went down in quality. The “pints” are still good, though.

I made a sweet and sour chicken stir fry. I was making a Sofrito for dinner later this week and beyond and I had chopped extra vegetables.

I had some slop that was called chicken and rice pealof

It’s pilaf, not pealof.

Doing a vegetarian/cleanse week. Farro bowls with a variety of roasted and spiced vegetables, spinach falafel, hummus, cucumber salad, and spicy tahini sauce.

Tonight is moussaka and Greek salad. Plus some of the loaf of bread I made yesterday.

I know. I type fat.

R68 - how do you make your Greek salad?

Bread and olives

I have no idea but I'm starting to get hungry.

English cucumber, green and whatever color pepper I have on hand, red onion, Kalamata olives, tomatoes, feta cheese, and dressing (lemon, extra-virgin olive oil, garlic, and oregano).

Dustin, I appreciate that you don’t put lettuce in your Greek salad. Very authentic.

r68, did you actually make your own Moussaka? Seems like a pain in the ass. Even my Greek mom wouldn't make it, but would get it from a deli or order it at restaurants. Every Fall I go to the Greek Food Festival at the local Orthodox church and bring a bunch home for the freezer and brave the old distant relatives who complain they never see me in Church and why am I still not married with children (I'm 61).

Yes, R74 - I actually made it. I used the broiler to make the eggplant, convection oven for the potatoes, and the stovetop for the meat sauce and bechamel. None of it is especially difficult but it is time-consuming. I did watch Cushing's video also used some of the recipe linked below. I went with my gut for a lot of it because I wasn't happy with going with just one recipe. I looked at several and took what I wanted from them.

FTR. I work from home and had little to do today.

Pigs in A Blanket and chocolate puddin' tarts.

Lentil burgers with a poached egg and shredded carrot salad.

My mom made "Moroccan tomato lentil soup" tonight. It was one of the best soups I've ever tasted.

Beef korma. House smells AMAZING.

Roasted pork loin with gravy, smashed redskin potatoes, and roasted brussel sprouts. Then two of my Lemon cookies from Fortnum & Mason with herb tea. Very satisfying.

[R77}, sounds good. I would love your recipes for lentils burgers and carrot salad, please?

I made Korean food: jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles), daegusal-jorim (spicy fish fillets), rice, oi-muchim (cucumber salad) and kkwarigochu-jjim (shishito peppers).

Albondigas soup with tortellini and spinach. It was far too bland for my taste (my first time making it).

The side was a spinach-feta-strawberry salad, which saved the meal.

R81 actually they were store bought (Goya) and the shredded carrot salad was just that, shredded carrot with some oil and vinegar lol. The egg made everything a bit more decadent and suntuous.

Tonight I had a small Apple, Walnut with Chicken salad for dinner. For dessert I had a banana.

Well yesterday was a Jack in the Box, DELUXE fish sandwich with extra tomato.

Today was a no food day, so it was pharmaceuticals, supplements and 40g of soy protein.

I like this website to juggle nutrition.

ugh, sounds heinous

🌮 Tacos, made at home.

Right now for breakfast, it's a toss up between leftover tacos, or a banana bread Belvita Bar.

Monday: Grillades and Grits

Tuesday: Roast Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, Potatoes, Braised Carrots, Gravy

Wednesday: Prunes and sardines a la mode

Thx r66 no wonder the misspelled line appeared after it,

No, R90, but thanks for coming.

I haven't decided what I'll cook tonight but it will not be prunes and sardines.

I am having friends over for dinner this Saturday and would be happy to share my menu for that dinner.

Like there's any chance she won't.

I made one of my personal favorites, pepper steak. I do not make it Chinese style, I love the taste of beef so I like just a beefy gravy without all the Chinese spicing.

I first saute onions, cut to 1/2 by 1/2 pieces, then I saute bell peppers cut to roughly same size (I do saute a little fresh ginger with this though) place these in a large bowl and then I cut up a good steak meat to 1/2 inch by 1/4 inch as well. Gravy from the drippings, usually add 'better than bouillon' to get a beefier taste to the gravy, thickened with flour btw and water, cook till thickens and then put all the vegetables back in. Served over white rice. It really is my favorite. The best meat I've ever used is ny strip, which is pretty expensive so I don't often get that (but man it is good that way) I cook enough meat for several helpings.

It's a real comfort meal.

Same old same old.

I shouldn't have been so terse.

I'm having a little Vietnamese tonight.

Leftover.

🤔 Are we supposed to come here EVERY night and share?

r97, see you at 600...

Fruity Pebbles

I made this casserole from Pioneer Woman. Ground beef, tomato, sour cream, ricotta, noodles, and cheddar. I can't stop eating it. I had an aunt who used to make something similar, only with elbow macaroni. I like this version better.

A spatchcocked chicken. Salted and peppered and baked at 500 degrees for 45 minutes. The backbone is the best part. It turns into a chicken cracklin. I take the liver out after 15 minutes and eat that as an appetizer. Then I tossed some boiled potatoes in the juices and ate with sour cream and green onions. Later I made a stock with the carcass. I deglazed the pan the chicken was cooked in and throw that into the pot. Then some lemon ice cream. Just some condensed milk, heavy cream and lemon juice thrown into the ice cream maker. It came out tasting more like cream cheese ice cream. I think it needed more lemon juice. Very silky texture. Ate it with a Pepperidge farm chess man cookie.

r101 I'm a big fan of lemon ice cream, and the damned stuff is hard to locate in stores, much easier to make it as you do. Adding extra lemon juice will just make it more acidic and watery, far better to add plenty of lemon zest, which will give you the flavor you're after. 🍋🍋 and more🍋

Last night I enjoyed slices of pork tenderloin, two actually, one mesquite and the other Italian herb style. Brussels sprouts, just halved and nuked. Small arugula salad with grape tomatoes and Brie. Iced tea and a TastyKake™ Coconut Creme pie for dessert.

Please boycott all Goya products. They are huge Trump supporters, unrepentant, and homophobes. Don't give them your money.

it's hard to avoid them at times

I'm thinking of making Salmon croquettes. Haven't had them in years. My mother used to make them for Lent.

R100 thanks for telling us how you made it (and the online recipe and pic !) because I think I'm going to try it. Looks delish!

I'm making shrimp and tomato consomme for a dinner tomorrow night. I did a test run with some beef stock yesterday... the raft worked and I got a clear consomme. So here's hoping from the ground up.

Has anyone ever made consomme a day in advance and then reheated? Does the clarity retain? It's a pain in the ass to make but dammit it looks cool.

Bread dough in bread machine right now to make a loaf of bread, braised pork in milk with mushrooms and coriander seed, mashed potatoes, collard greens with butter and garlic and some roast squash.

And I don't use anything but the knead function.

maybe pizza and a movie?

Salad with celery, pear, blue cheese, walnuts and a lemon vinaigrette.

Pork shoulder roasted with potatoes and carrots. Homemade gravy.

And also my marinated eggplant that I put up last summer.

Toaster oven baked chicken thighs (bone and skin on, then removed after cooking, Israeli (pearl) couscous, asparagus boiled 5' in chicken broth, then tossed with S&P, olive oil, and lemon juice. Pinot Gris. Brownie from scratch (recipe posted on another thread). Pinot Noir.

Pulled pork sandwiches. Easiest thing in the world if you have a slow cooker. It's a 2-minute prep (suck it, Rachael Ray).

Chunk up some onions, toss 'em in, top with raw pork shoulder, douse with barbecue sauce, and let it cook all day. Half an hour before you want to eat, take out the pork, shred it with forks, put back in the pot, and taste for seasonings.

Serve with homemade coleslaw — a bag of shredded cabbage in a sauce of mayo, vinegar, lemon juice and S&P.

[quote]asparagus boiled 5' in chicken broth

How deep is your pot?

R112, if it's not too involved, how do you make your marinated eggplant?

Where's the brownie recipe? Nom nom nom. I have one that bakes a dense, dry, very chocolately brownie. Always curious about others.

Ordered Crown Fried Chicken from GrubHub. The sent me three orders but they only charged me for one. I’m trying not to be a fat whore, but here we are.

So far, just some Robin's Eggs (Whoppers) malted milk balls. The coating on the "eggs" has changed. Used to be more vibrant and shiny.

R116 - How's your Italian? LOL.

Here's the link to Tiziana Mani In Pasta's recipe. The ingredients are listed in English in addition to Italian.

You can basically see what she's doing. The part where she's putting them in the jars is a little weak. You can see how she starts, but only shows it once. You repeat the layering in the jars until you get to the top. Top with oil and push down any eggplant that goes above the oil. Let sit partially covered for 7 to 8 hours. Then put the tops on the jars. The salt and vinegar kill any bacteria. The oil keeps it anaerobic. You can give them a little tap before you cover the jars to make sure to get out any bubbles. You can use all olive oil or a mix of sunflower and olive oil. The boiling time in the vinegar and water is 90 seconds. Feel free to ask me more if you need.

Of course, I forgot the link.

Half a calzone (bland sausage, but oooh that ricotta and mozzarella) and two slices of pizza topped with everything.

I have a salad I could eat, but I’m thinking of taking a walk to buy lots of HFCS candy.

pizza and a green salad.

potatoes skins, a healthier version.

plant based ice cream sundae.

Water

Salad, when did I have salad?

r117, re-posted the brownie debate thread below. The recipe I used is @ r52. They were excellent! I weighed the dry ingredients instead of using a measuring cup, ended up needing to add about 3/4 tablespoon of oil to the mixture with the melted butter mixture, used Droste brand Dutch process cocoa powder, and a twee real vanilla ex$tract, and added the optional chopped walnuts because life is too short for mediocre brownies. I have a crappy gas oven that's too humid for cold, rainy SF, so ended up baking for 40' instead of the 20-30' called for in the recipe. Best damn brownies I've ever made.

[quote]plant based ice cream sundae.

As opposed to a pulled pork sundae with caramel lard sauce?

Last night I made a Reuben sandwich. I used Boar's head corned beef and swiss cheese, Sabrett sauerkraut, Marie's Thousand Island Dressing and Arnold seedless Jewish rye bread.

Half a container of Talenti Raspberry Sorbetto.

I'm posting this now because I couldn't post it then as DL was on primetime and I was being shunned. I'll be happy to pay just as soon as an "Edit" feature is added to the offerings here and I no longer have to be concerned about the grammar and syntax police.

I made 100% home made chinese dumplings for the 1st time. Giving myself a solid B...the filling (classic pirk and cabbage) came out great....the wrapping/dough....not so much, but still eatable. I'll continue to perfect it, for a 1st try it wasnt bad at all.

R125... thanks... they look very moist... mine uses more butter and vanilla, but less sugar and flour. The principal difference was mine uses melted unsweetened chocolate and no cocoa. Interesting how small differences can produce such a different outcome. My brownies are unlike any other (and I suspect most people don't really like them) because they are dry, not moist, but man I love them.

It's only $1.99 per month. We've all had to deal with grammar police. It's part of DL. I have a pretty thin skin, but there are a lot worse ways to be roasted online.

[quote] I weighed the dry ingredients instead of using a measuring cup

Yes, that's the best and easiest way. Not sure why everyone's so stuck on measuring cups. Scales are so much better and cheaper than they used to be.

Shrimp consomme, beef tenderloin, these french things I bought at a bakery that are like a small sponge cake filled with vanilla cream and rum.

Alright I have to say it. It seems odd to me that we're discussing food here and absent is... let's just say Beetlejuice.

Marinated a less expensive cut of steak in a teriyaki sauce. Will have it with a salad and baked potato.

Trying to increase my dark leafy greens and use a butternut squash, so I am attempting a homemade curry with both and will add chickpeas as well for more protein. I'm still deciding if I want to make brown rice or have naan instead.

Oats Royale with Carrot Crudités.

As always.

Now naff off!

It tasted like shit

A tequila lime chicken burrito from Beto's Corner.

I am going to wait until the fat whore rush hour and then I am going to stuff myself with KFC chicken. Then, I will shop for sensible foods at an overpriced grocery store that changes aisles as random. The joke’s on them; I will be shopping with a buzz.

Hi Murica...me and the boyfren are fixin up sum nace spam and tater chip sandwiches. I think he plopped a can of pork n beans in thar too. You guys eat to fancy fur me!!

I wonder if Janet Reno felt that, as a woman, she needed to prove she wasn't afraid to make heads roll.

There was a skit on SNL of Reno walking into a room, eschewing a door, and busting through drywall.

A grilled chicken salad with pecans and Italian salad dressing.

Capellini alla marinara, with grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.

I made Tandoori steak and little thin fries (in the air fryer). Came out delicious. Opened a nice Cab. Nice dinner, but I am so alone and so tired.

I had some Trader Joe’s pastry bites with caramelized onion and feta cheese. I ate 5, which is too many. I’m taking Ozempic and if you eat too much you’re going to have abdominal pain. It’s all I’ve eaten today and it’s repeating on me.

Your mom.

Those look dangerous, r145

I broiled pork chops, had with apple sauce, broccoli and salad. My niece is visiting and brought me a cupcake from a bridal shower but I was too full. I will save it for tomorrow.

Grilled loin lamb chops seasoned with homemade za'atar and olive oil, roasted cauliflower with turmeric, paprika, cayenne, and orzo with romano cheese. Everything came really good.

I ate a bag of frozen mixed vegetables. I poured several spices on them to try to give them some flavor, but it was still bland. I need some better spices.

I think you need some better vegetables.

Leftover Chinese takeout (combination chow fun). There was only a bit left so I had a beef tamale a few hours later.

Salmon filet....salad with kale and califlower rice.....bakes sweet potato wedges with salt/pepper, olive oil and smoked paprika.

*baked^

Rib eye steaks, mashed potatoes, corn and carrots.

Dinner will be my handy dandy, easy peasy Baked Feta Cheese Pasta that is my go-to when I'm feeling lazy and/or down in the dumps.

Dessert will be apple pie from The Fresh Market. I like that The Fresh Market sells half a pie for us singletons and I must say their apple pie is very good and nothing like the average supermarket pie, far superior.

Bonus ASMR in this video:

Chicken gyro with tzatziki sauce.

Spaghetti and meatballs with sausage over angel hair pasta. Chocolate cake for desert.

Left-over Kenji spinach lasagna and carrots glazed in honey garlic.

Just a mixed green salad, but I'm having it with RUSSIAN dressing.

Love the dressing, but hate that I have to fine-sieve it to remove the microchips.

With toasted almonds.

Yummo!

R160 don't just hate those microchips getting caught in your teef? Thanks for the laugh

opps *don't you

I have a pizza with sausage, onions and peppers and a salad.

I'm having old school cravings so I just made a white sauce with a cup of mozzarella and gouda (leftover) cheese blended in. It's going to become a tuna casserole.

I had a breakfast burrito with egg, bacon, and transcendent habanero salsa on the side. The tortilla was browned on a gas stove burner. Heavenly.

Udon noodles

Meat loaf, baked potato with sour cream and steamed broccoli - I'm stuffed!

Chipotle bowl with their chips. The chips are saltier than fritos.

Who keeps posting "What are you having for dinner" threads?

Next, it will be "Post naked pictures of yourself eating dinner"

R169 mmmmmmm sounds like fun. Better go and iron my best caftan while you set up the thread.....waiting, waiting.....

roasted eggplant, green salad and vegetarian pizza

Tonight was no dinner, after a hefty late lunch of leftover grilled lamb chops, rice, Skordalia, and stuffed aubergines. I've been enjoying some Ballentine's Scotch, and a few Marlboro Reds, and a little grass in place of dinner. There may be room for dessert... Time will tell! Still feeling quite stuffed.

R74 I make it all the time, and I'm not even Greek! It's totally worth it. My partner, or quasi husband is half Greek, and he loves the Christine Cushing recipe, but I make it using half lamb mince/half beef mince in my rendition. It is one of those dishes that freezes well, if you don't happen to have a lot of guests at table.

My family is Jewish, yet my mum always made this; she was a cook by trade. She always used lamb mince, but I like the combination of beef and lamb. I love Cushing, but wonder what her dad had going on that he only used beef mince. I love many of her recipes, having watched her on Canadian TV for years, but this dish is ordinarily prepared with lamb.. at least in the UK andGreece it is, and in my partner's family.

Latin American Black Bean Bowl with roasted veggies. So good.

I'm not sure what I'm making tonight. Last night I made shrimp & grits.

I'm making pepper steak for dinner this evening. I hate, absolutely hate cooking, but I don't mind making this.

Mmmm....pepper steak sounds good. Say more about it.

How do you prepare it and what do you serve with it?

Moussaka is so good. My mom used to make it and she omitted the potatoes and she always used beef. Was still a bit of a pain to make, but very delicious even without the potatoes. I’ve made it with ground turkey as well. Came out great, but definitely needs that 24 hours for the flavors to meld.

[quote] Alright I have to say it. It seems odd to me that we're discussing food here and absent is... let's just say Beetlejuice.

I contributed to this thread earlier.

pasta primavera for spring.

Two pints of Carlsberg, and a Jumbo Vienna Beef frank, with white onion, dill relish, and Colman's mustard. I'm not a bottom, yet I always insist on the Jumbos because I am secretly a size queen..

I had milk-soaked, cornmeal-crusted catfish, white rice, a green salad, and a couple pieces of sushi as an appetizer, chocolate chip cookie for dessert.

Thai food

R183 I like Thigh food.

Last night I made Creamy Pork Stew, via Chef John's recipe. It's a lot of work, seriously but the payoff is there.

Pesce all'Acqua Pazza ("fish in crazy water")

Cod...no prunes.

Tomatoes, green olives, kalamata olives, capers, crushed red pepper, parsley, and garlic flavor the water you cook the the fish in. The olives and capers are my addition because they are low-carb and add some bulk.

Slice of pizza and a baked sweet potato.

I’m eating like a third grader tonight - baked hot dogs and curly fries, cheap buns, canned chili as topping, and curly fries. This will be washed down with a Diet Coke. I may be out of weed, so things might change.

Hopefully, YOU!

[quote] Cod...no prunes.

Dustin (R186), you've always been a disappointment to your father and me.

baked potato with roast chicken.

Gin and regrets after a terrible day of work.

Cadbury mini eggs

oatmeal w/blackberries

Still recovering from food poisoning (likely norovirus) from last week and am on the BRAT diet: Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, and Toast. Had an Imidium tablet, half cup of steamed white rice and some miso soup for dinner, with Pedialyte pairings.

Pork chops marinated in terryaki sauce and baked. Was delicious. Brussel sprouts.

Chicken A La King

Roast chicken

corn

Grilled chicken and broccoli rabe on an Italian roll, sprinkled with parmigiano regiano. Really looking forward to it.

I was in the mood for something nostalgic last night and our weather isn't great so I wanted comfort food only my own version. I sauteed one white potato and some brussel sprouts in Olive oil with a yellow onion chopped up. I bought some hot italian sausage (chicken sausage) from the market, and baked them in my toaster oven, then cut them up and dumped them in to the pan with the brussel sprouts and potatoes. I added about 3 ounces of water to the pan and let it cook on medium low for about 12 minutes. It was delicious.

homemade chicken taquitos served with guacamole.

Moo ping. We had it at a Thai restaurant in Houston (Final Four) and fell in love with it. I had everything on hand to make it so I'm giving it a shot. With some jasmine rice and stir-fried broccoli.

Organic ice cream sandwich for dessert

Fried catfish and canned peach halves in heavy syrup

Ham and cheddar cheese on sourdough bread, w/mayo and a little Dijon mustard. Drinking some Simply limeade, and will have a couple York peppermint patties later.

I made shakshuka with feta cheese, using farm fresh eggs from my sister-in-law. Picked up some pita from this awesome place in BK called Sahadi.

Then a chocolate chip cookie from Breads Bakery off of union sq.

Fucking awesome overall, gotta say.

R208 I’m sure some of your food will taste like shit

I rearranged my freezer today to throw away anything I didn't want as I've run out of room and - it was like a rainbow shot out of my freezer when I discovered one last portion of Shepherd's Pie I made a few months ago.

I just finished eating it (with a large green salad, little dressing) and Oh.My.God. I'd forgotten how good this had turned out. It was like a mouthgasm, it was so damn delicious. I need to make more and have this in my freezer at all times. Just so tasty and satisfying. I feel like having a cigarette, and I don't even smoke.

I had a chopped liver on rye sandwich from a local deli. Chopped chicken livers are such a humble thing, and I had forgotten how delicious they are. Have it maybe twice a year. Also had coleslaw, dill pickle and potato salad. Life is good.

Spinach Kachapurri.....delivered, not home made.Scrumptious....link for those who dont know what it is

Meatless meatloaf

god there are some fabulous dinners on here. R202 yeah that sounds great! Inventive :) R210 I love Shepherd pie. I get it! R212 that looks good :) Thanks for the pic! Going to check that out.

I just had a barbequed hamburger but it's not up to snuff for this thread.

Smoked turkey sausage, cheesy rice and green beans.

Black ramen and then Dove chocolate.

Za'atar bread pizza with tomatoes and feta, and a salad of pasta, salmon, and spinach.

You could eat it.

We're having fish sticks tonight.

I'm having a friend for dinner (not that way.)

Chestnut soup to start and then chicken stuffed with a little cream cheese and roasted red pepper.

The chestnut soup turned out to be such a happy surprise. I thought the recipe was intriguing so I tried making it yesterday as I wanted to be able to find out if it was dire or not. It is absolutely delicious. Mildly sweet and nutty.

I don't like any nuts except peanuts. Don't know if I've ever had a chestnut before, though.

[r220] can you post the recipe for this chestnut soup. it does sound intriguing? Love to have pics if you took some.

A friend's care package of brisket braised with vegetables and potato kugel, which is almost like a potato bread or casserole.

Popeyes tonight!

Ossobuco. I didnt feel like cooking so I didnt do anything fancy with it, just stuck a couple of ossobuco "steaks" in the oven with a little bit of salt and pepper. Delicious...it is INCREDIBLY cheap cut too. Yes, you have to cut some fat away and its not super tender (though not really tough either) but its super flavorful and you have the added bonus of yummy bone marrow to spead on bread.

R222... I had a friend in for dinner... she loved it. It's going in my old faithful file. Easy, delicious, distinct. Link below... I omitted the cream (because it had a silky quality I was happy with) and the sherry (for lack of it.). I didn't fry the parsley either. There's only so many hours in the day.

Brisket and veggies cut up and made into soup with Better than Bouillon and Reames egg noodles. Would work with pot roast, too. Very comforting.

R10 Do you make your shepherd's pie with lamb or beef.

^ leftover roast lamb meat, wether from a leg or shoulder.

Where's Beetle juice these days? I dare not post his name but I sure savour the absence.

Chicken Fajitas. Won’t be as good as Fajitas made in a restaurant, but still good.

Today: Medium rare London Broil, and a spinach salad w/slivered sweet onions, multicolored "snacking" tomatoes, cucumber, and balsamic vinaigrette. And water.

[quote] "Do you make your shepherd's pie with lamb or beef."

By definition, Shepherd's Pie is made with lamb, R228. Cottage Pie is beef (and the one I personally prefer, but usually only in cold weather).

I had a lamb chop just once, and didn't care for the flavor. So sheep are safe with me! Deer, however...are not. I love venison.

Salmon and broccoli

The Pioneer Woman's Sour Cream Noodle Bake. It's really good.

^ Fat whore.

What are you having, fat whore r236?

A bit of grilled beef tenderloin, a few roasted potatoes and asparagus. (I'm not usually so virtuous.)

R238 you are such a fat whore

Fish and 🥒 cucumber salad

Grilled marinated sirloin steak, spinach sauteed in olive oil with garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauteed mushrooms. The steak may not be great. I started marinating it on Saturday intending to grill it yesterday, but we got sidetracked (a party, then a bar). We'll see how it turns out.

On the plus side, We were hungry when we got home so it was "spaghetti mezzanotte" time. I made bucatini carbonara that turned out so fucking good I wanted to cry. LOL. I don't normally carry on about my own cooking but it did come exceptionally good. I had pancetta and imported bucatini and pecorino in hand and it showed in the results.

Today a banana and 35 gr of soy protein.

The joys of autophagic ketosis.

Keep savoring.
