Has no one else eaten dinner recently? Last night I made something kind of weird, but tasty. You boil noodles (I used egg noodles), then saute some sliced pepperoni in a frying pan. After they start getting a little crisp, you add the cooked noodles and stir until they get a little fried. Then you remove the pan from the heat, crack in a couple or three eggs and stir until they're cooked. Add some salt if you want, lots of pepper, and add parmesan cheese if you'd like.

When Paul had his first bite, he said "Why haven't I been eating this my whole LIFE?!"- the flavors actually blend really well. You can use bacon instead of pepperoni if you want. When I lived in Austria for a year, the host moms from both families I lived with made this dish frequently and that's where I picked it up!

Tonight we had a date night and went to Bobby's, a Greek restaurant here in town. We have a long enduring love of Greek food. It's the only place within several hundred miles where you can get Greek stuff. We shared an appetizer of pita bread and tzatziki, then we both ordered the gyros. They're amazingly good and come with the most perfect lemon roasted potatoes, carrots and a rice pilaf. Cheapest thing on the menu, too :)
 
family were keeping the poultry farmers going last night by eating chicken (again:rollseyes). tonight hubby has requested gammon, parsley sauce and mashed potatoes.
 
Last night, I had a salad and an avocado.
It was one of those trick avocados, though, where it feels perfect to eat, but when you cut into it, it's only ripe around the outside and hard as a rock around the stone. So I really only ate half an avocado.
 
I've had dinner! Honest I have!

Sunday night we had pizza because I felt crappy (ooh, what a surprise lol). Last night I made my onion pasta to keep Steve happy because he hasn't had it in a while.

He left me ALL the washing up to do when he left for work this morning :grumpy::grumpy: I can't even make a cup of tea because the kitchen is such a mess, and he messed it up more making his sandwiches to take to lunch! (He's working on site this week) Not a popular man today!


Tonight I'm going to Tampopo with my mum for dinner:

I LOVE that place. The best food ever! And so cheap, and fast! I'm starving just thinking about it.... Mostly because I can't make any lunch without doing an hour's worth of washing up and the room is spinning... :cry1:

Oh, I hate those kinds of avocados! An unripe one really just isn't nice at all.

I do love avocados though... Sometimes I just cut them in half and stone them, leave the skin on, and put a bit of white wine vinegar and lots of lemon juice, salt and pepper in the middle, and scoop it out with a spoon. Yum!

LOL! Whenever I cook, Jason is usually eager to help with the washing up. As long as the only things that need washing are the actual plates we ate off of. He somehow does not notice any of the actual pans or utensils that were necessary to make the food.

He does the same when he cooks for himself. He will leave the dirty pan on the stove. If it's not too gross, I will sometimes leave it, but he "forgets" it is there until I put it in the sink and fill it with water. Then he gets mad at me!

Lol! I usually wash up most of the time, even when I've cooked for both of us. If Steve washes up, he'll wash up the easy stuff, and then soak all of the pots and pans and say that he can't get them clean enough. Now I'm sorry, but a little elbow grease is all that's required! Even the morning after I never have a problem washing the pots and pans without soaking them! :grumpy:

Yeah, I bought 6 (they were on sale), so I'm worried that the others won't be good, either.

I LOVE avocados! I also eat them like that, though I've never tried them with vinegar. I usually use lime juice and salt.

Jason hates them, so there's more for me!!
 
have just added avacados to tomorrows shopping list. havent brought any recently cos i kept getting the 'trick' ones. daughter and i love mangoes but we've had some tastless ones recently.

I checked out the site... Feel free to send me leftovers!
Those are amazingly low prices!!!
YUM!
 
Tonight is fish and chips. Baked from the freezer, unfortunately. How I wish I had some malt vinegar in the cabinet.
 
I've ordered a curry tonight... I hate having so many takeaways but I've been falling over all day... :cry1:

I cannot for the life of me remember what I've ordered though. Tarka dahl, popadoms, and... I really really can't remember what I have! Chicken garlic balti I think...
 
Hey, I love avocados too! Looks like we're all thinking the same way today. Today I bought an avocado to have as a treat tomorrow since I don't have to work. Unfortunately, the poor avocado managed to fall 5 feet onto the floor and had a big mushy spot so I had no choice but to cut it up and eat it right then! I just put a little salt on it :) I'm pretty good at picking avocados, I've never had the trick ones you guys are describing but I have had ones with brown strings in them. Ew. Anyone else had that?

For dinner tonight I made chicken and dumplings. I had 6 chicken thighs in the freezer so last night I boiled them in water, then strained the broth, refrigerated it overnight and cut up the meat. This evening I reheated the broth, added chopped onion, carrot and potato. Those aren't normal ingredients in chicken and dumplings but whatever- I usually put peas in it too but didn't this time, and Paul said he missed them! He doesn't even like peas usually!), and made the dumplings using this recipe:

After they cooked in the broth, I stirred in some evaporated milk mixed with flour to thicken it. Added some salt, poultry seasoning and parsley, and ta da! The best chicken and dumplings ever, even if chicken and dumplings don't normally have veggies or milk.

(note: I typed this all out last night, but our internet died so I couldn't submit it until this afternoon. I'm too lazy to go through and change the wording to make it sound like I wrote it today!)
 
Tonight, I am having... CHICKEN. lol. Chicken, Jamine rice, and lots of Broccoli. In a couple of weeks we are leaving for our trip so I'll be doing all my cooking camp style except for when we eat out. I am looking forward to enjoying some things we do not have around here on the road, like tons of Halibut, and really good Mexican food. :)
 
Rescuing thread!!! :shock:

For the life of me I can't remember what I had on Thursday night...

Oh! I had chicken too! I took a chicken breast, sliced it open like a book and flattened it with a rolling pin a bit. Then I made some garlic butter out of butter, garlic, salt and pepper and parsley and froze it for a few mins to get it's consistency back. Then I spread it inside the chicken breast all over, and added some lemon zest. Then I rolled it up really tight longways and tied it up with string in several places, and dipped it in flour, beaten egg and then breadcrumbs, and then cooked it in the oven for 20mins or so. Had it with a tomato and avocado salad. Yum! It was pretty much a chicken kiev but when I make them the butter usually comes out the middle and it didn't this way. :D


Friday night we went for a meal with Steve's best man to-be and his wife. She is so lovely! And so is he- I'm really happy Steve chose him, I think he'll do a great job :)


Saturday night we went to my friend's BBQ for her birthday. Your average generic BBQ food...


Last night I was incredibly sick so I didn't eat anything apart from some spring rolls.



Tonight, I made this:


Vietnamese Chicken Salad


Pretty much to the recipe except I added some cooled rice noodles, and some sesame oil and soy sauce to the dressing. It was soooooooo good. I am currently residing in YUMSVILLE! :biggrin2:



 
Heh, I was going to post in the thread the night before last but my dinner was embarrassingly simple so I didn't. I made a cheese sauce with aged white cheddar (it turned out very yummy), then spooned it over steamed rice and steamed brussels sprouts. We had it with tomato salad.

Last night we kind of had tortilla chips, hummus and swedish fish (chewy red gummi candies that are red and shaped like fish, so yummy). I intended on cooking salmon, but we overindulged on the snacks and weren't hungry!

Tonight will be either salmon, pork chops or Paul's favorite casserole. It's only 1 pm here so I have plenty of time to decide.
 
Yesterday we had company over and we had the yummiest dinner. We had beef tenderloins, roasted potatoes and carrots, asparagus, sauted mushrooms, garlic toast and ceasar salad. So good!

Then tonight we had left over asparagus so I made this Thai noodle dish I found on the web, except I added a bit of brocoli too. It was really good and I'll definitely be making it again.
