WHAT DID YOU HAVE FOR DINNER!!

[mardigraskisses]

I'm eating pepper pot right now. Sooooo good.:biggrin2:

 

[JimD]

Thanks for all of the great suggestions!!



Tonight we pulled out one of the freezer pluses....we bought some london broils in a family/bulk pack. Thet're not that big, but are a great treat when we need that extra something.

London broil marinated interiaki sauce, smashed taters, and cloeslaw.

LOL I read Autumn's post with the dancing elephants and thought she was saying it was wonderful news that Jen now has dietary restrictions. Weirdo!

Jen, do you have monterey jack cheese there? I was reading about it last night and noticed that at the bottom of this article it says it's safe for migraine sufferers!

What a funny coincidence that I ran across it, huh?

 

[NorthernAutumn]

LOL!

* tosses handfuls of peanuts and cheese everywhere"

(Commencing anaphylaxia in RO members...)
Come now, I'm not that malicious!

Oooh, Jen, a bottle of Merlot and a wedge of Stilton... BAD!

BTW, I love London Broil, Jim! How was it?

London broil was Deeeeelish!!
Epic Yummers!!
:biggrin2:

It was nice change from the fare we've had recently.
Not that what we've had has been bad....just run-of-the-mill.

We'll be grilling for the next few days ...4th of July traditions ya know.
Lots of burgers and hotdogs.
I think we've got some ribs in the freezer as well.....BBQ, ahoy!!!
The pantry will certainly give up the cans of baked beans for the occasion!!
MrsD is making an asian coleslaw.
Got a big ol' watermelon, too!
Maybe we'll check out the farmer's market for some veggie bargins. Roasted/grilled veggies are the bestest.

And we can't forget, or go without, the pancake breakfasts!!

Mc Donalds, Twisty fries and chicken McNuggets, only thing about Mc Donalds is the portions are so small you come out still hungry!

I usually have to add a cheeseburger to the nuggets & fries to be somewhat satisfied.

Gotta love the McD's dollar menu, though! I can get a cheeseburger, 4 pc. nuggets & small fries for $3 ! :biggrin2:

Over here it's called the euro saver menu
I think altogether the chips and nuggets cost like 3 euro.
We just got Mc Donalds here though so it's kind of a novelty in town right now! They have a limited time Oreo Mc Flurry there right now and it's soooo yummy
My Nana goes over to the US sometimes to visit family and she said ye can ask for like supersize or something in Mc Donalds and it's like nothing she has ever seen before? Pity we can't here lol!

Well, I am jealous that you have twisty fries. McDonalds here only have regular fries.

Don't be too sad about not getting supersize where you are. The McDonalds Supersize stuff is part of the reason why 60% of Americans are overweight.

I'm totally addicted to their Quarter Pounder with cheese.

One of my girlfriends positively craved McDonald's fires when she was pregnant... She'd call up, and we'd wind up going through the drive through in our PJs at 1 AM.

There's something addictive about those fries...

They're my favorite of the fast food fries! (Except Arby's twisty fries, but not many places have twisty fries.)

My mom has boycotted McDonald's for my entire life. Every time I talk to her, she manages to tell me how my dad was at McDonalds while she was in the hospital giving birth to me, so she won't go there. (Seriously, I've heard that story enough. It's been 34 years, I think it's time for her to move on with her life, or at least not talk about it anymore. Sheesh.)
So McDonalds was always a secret treat for me. When I was in grade school, I'd go riding my bike for hours at a time, and if I had any money I'd usually go to the McDonalds to get fries.

Why doesn't McD's have onion rings?

Probably a good thing they don't, (in my case anyways).....
... Double Quarterpounder w/ Cheese, onion rings, & avanilla shake= heaven (aka "Bridge food")

That's ok, they'd probably be the chopped, flavorless mush that Burger King has. Sonic is the place for onion rings! Or, even better, Winstead's. (A local Kansas City chain.)


Oh, back on topic.....For dinner tonight I had some leftovers from the fridge. A grilled burger (without a bun, but topped with some sliced red onion), and some rosemary pasta. Also, a slice of French bread, toasted with butter, and a short glass of milk.

Oh great....a Sonic just opened not far from us. :twitch:

Are twisty fries the same thing as curly fries? I love curly fries. I have been to McDonald's once in the past 3 years. If we get fast food, it's usually Taco Bell (simply because they're open all night), Carl's Jr or Wendy's (always get a chicken sandwich). Oh or Subway

 

[SnowyShiloh]

I was going to cook chicken tonight but forgot to take it out of the freezer, so we had soup and sandwiches. Medium Tillamook cheddar cheese on honey wheatberry bread and canned tomato soup. I made the soup with milk and added salt, pepper, garlic and Italian seasoning... that's the only way Paul likes tomato soup. Yum!

 

[MyLOVEABLES!!]

Had bbq lamb chop last night!
With mash potato and salad. YUM

Ya I think so

Yesterday I had Mcdonalds to.
Big Mac, Frie which most went to my mom and a diet coke.

Tonight i'm making Kung Pao chicken. Its more of a kung pao chicken stir fry as I add a bunch of veggies(bok choy, baby corn, celery and red peppers) to it. I serve it over white rice.

One of my favorite meals, nice and spicy and easy to make
