WHAT DID YOU HAVE FOR DINNER!!

[trailsend]

We had pot roast the other night and have been eating leftovers of that. Tonight we had burritos (ground beef, black beans, salsa, cheese, tortillas) brought a new puppy home so it had to be a quick meal. Tomorrow I will cook better, I think soup or stew

Last night I had crab cakes, hickory smoked tuna, and some imatation crab meat. So good! But I couldn't finish it for some reason. All I had that day was only a bowl of cereal and roasted me some mini marshmallows over a candle.

last night i just had pasta with alfredo sauce and garlic toast.

tonight i am at work till 10, so i will most likely just eat something there (my fall back is a small salad with pizza crust cooked with cheese on it) working in a kitchen doesn't always mean i eat healthy lol

We weren't sure what we wanted, so we just went to the Irish pub down the street. It was really crowded, which was good! There was also a band playing Irish music tonight.

We started with an order of fried pickles. Jason then had "curry and chips." The curry had meat in it, but I took a tiny taste, and it was delicious! I had "Irish seafood bake:" Shrimp, scallops, and cod, sauteed then mixed with a tarragon-cream sauce. That was then covered with mashed potatoes and some cheddar cheese on top. The whole thing was baked so the cheese was melted and the potatoes were brown.
I don't know if it was authenticly Irish, but it was AMAZING! Probably also about 8000 calories, but so worth it. Delicious!!
Also had a pint of Guinness.

I hope it was an unscented candle

Beth, your fish pie sounds gorgeous! I'm craving some now!

I've not cooked much new recently except some spaghetti the other night which started out as laziness but ended up quite good! I chopped garlic, and cooked it in olive oil with loads of time and then added loads of sliced mushrooms right at the end for a minute or 2. Then I added the cooked spaghetti and about 1/4cup of the pasta water, along with loads of fresh parmesan and lemon zest, lots of black pepper and some salt. It was really nice and I didn't miss having a 'proper sauce' at all!

Tonight I'm either going to cook the same recipe again or we might have a takeaway, since we're both sick- Steve has a stomach bug and I woke up this morning with a chesty cough, sore throat and minus my voice! :grumpy:

Brandy, I was thinking that maybe she couldn't finish her dinner because she felt sick from roasting marshmallows over a scented candle!

Jen, your noodles sound delicious (I'll have to try it) and Beth, the seafood dish sounds great.

Night before last we had frozen pizza for dinner, along with mozzarella sticks and cookies and strawberry daiquiris. Paul and I like to do something fun like that every once in a while Last night we had leftover pizza. I think tonight we're having the last of the spaghetti from a couple nights ago. I'm going to eat lunch in a few minutes and plan on having some variety of canned soup. I bought a bunch of new flavors last week!

Beth, I think it was you who typed out the recipe for a bean soup with spinach, potatoes and tahini. I really want to make that recipe and was going to do so tonight, but I am going to be out of town for a month and I don't want to open a jar of tahini when I won't use it for so long because it's $10 per jar. Do you know how long tahini lasts in the refrigerator? I have all the ingredients for that soup and I've been wanting to make it since mid November

I don't think that was my recipe, though it sounds good!
Tahini seems to keep quite a long time in the refrigerator. I've had an open jar for more than 6 months. (It's quite a large jar, and I only like a touch of tahini in my hummus.) I haven't had any problems with it, but I do regularly eat just-past-expired items. I wouldn't worry unless it's past the expiration date.

OMG, Jen, it was SO good! I had the leftovers for lunch today, and it was just as delicious. The meal came with a scone, as well, and I saved half of that, and warmed it in the toaster oven today.
I've never had anything like that, but I loved it! I want to go back and try their beer cheese soup, and they have a seafood boxty that I want to try. I think we are destined to become regulars! I just wish I'd found that place before I stopped eating meat, they've got bangers and mash. Oh well, the fish and chips and fish pie are lovely!

Tonight I made the butternut squash and tofu soup with red curry again. I put in 5 spoons of Thai red curry paste, and it was much closer to my preferred spiciness level! Served it alongside some salad-from-a-bag.
Tim Tams for dessert.

That was my recipe Tahini last a long time in the fridge. I would say 6 months or more. When you are going to use it, remember to take it out a bit before so it has time to reach room temp. The oil separates and its easier to mix back together if its room temp.

Thanks, Valerie! I haven't tried that recipe yet, but it sounds delicious, and I want to try it soon.

Well, I eat tons of salad all the time.. to the point where my boyfriend teases me about it, lol... and tonight I had grilled, marinated chicken breast over a big mess of mixed greens, with some chopped veg thrown in too and topped with my homemade ginger Asian dressing.

I'm craving a big pot of my homemade Texas chili or beef soup though. Might have to make some soon!

 

[cheryl]

Don't know what i'm having yet..just something easy i guess...my youngest son Jeremy is sleeping at a friend's house tonight since it's the school holiday's and my eldest is not home yet...so it's just little ol me .

 

[SablePoint]

It was an unscented candle! I know they would taste horrible over a scented one!
I wasn't sick. Maybe I just ate too fast. That'll make make you full easier, esp. if you don't chew your food good enough.

Last night we had baked chicken breast marinaded in Italian dressing. We also had rolls and mashed potatoes, but I don't like mashed potatoes, and my piece of chicken had a big piece of gristle hanging on it, that kinded turned me off. The rolls were probably the best part of supper.

Last night I had a "big apple" sandwich.
Sliced turkey with mustard, cranberry apple chutney, spinach and cheese on multigrain bread.

That sounds SO GOOD!
