Any minute now, I should be sitting down to a dinner of Italian sausages on a bun and Van Camp's Pork & Beans with bits of bacon in it. Barbecue sauce to top off my sausages too drool.gif biggrin.gif tongue.gif . Of course, I gotta wash it down with a beer beer_mug.gif . Gotta be MGD, though. No Corona in the house cry.gif .

Mmmm. Chicken breasts marinated in Italian marinade cooked on the grill, with a side of Jalapeno Jack Pasta (made by Lipton). Maybe some canned veggies, too.

Tonight was boneless pork chops off of the grill with meduim stuffed mushrooms and parmesan cheese and a salad with basalmic vinnegar and olive oil and a nice cold beer.

O'siyo,
Tonight, supper consisted of Lemon Boy Garden fresh tomatoes cut in halves tpped with fresh Monteray and Colby cheese with onion chives and fresh ground pepper broiled just long enough to melt the cheese...topped off with extra virgin olive oil with fresh garlic. Fresh spinach, with shrimp served on the side.

Bologna sandwich!

Posted by: maggiemahone1 15-Aug-2004, 06:36 PM
I had Campbell's Bean Soup and a toasted cheese sandwich. Decaff coffee. Trying to watch my calories and fat intake. Yesterday I pigged out and had deep fried shrimp, baked potato and garden salad. Today I have been a good girl! biggrin.gif

Camchak did you make your bologna sandwich with mustard or ketchup?
I loved bologna sandwiches when I was growing up, but ate them so much as a kid you can't get me to eat it now!

Creamed salmon on toast and green beans. Butter pecan cake with butter cream frosting (made by my daughter-in-law....yummy tongue.gif )

Oriental grilled chicken wings, sliced tomato w/ basil and bluecheese dressing, and sauted` onions and green peppers. And of course an ale!

Posted by: Annabelle 16-Aug-2004, 08:51 AM
If I'm lucky tonight we'll have chicken in olive oil with Italian seasoning and fresh steamed veg's. . . . but that depends on if my nephew's wife has her baby today or not...already been to the hospital this morning as he called and asked me to come so I went. She is about 6 wks premature so going to be a small baby but they moved her up to Macon Neo center in case when she does finally have the baby she will be in the right place upon delivery...so not sure I'm going to get to eat this but it will be made early just in case. If not I'll live off of a Diet Coke and Atkins bar instead.

Posted by: single speed 16-Aug-2004, 10:17 PM
I had dinner and several hours of pleasant conversation with mom. Baked lemon chicken, Yellow squash sauteed with diced tomatoes, eggplant, onions and garlic. Mom made the chicken, I made the squash. I learned a lot about my dad's family tonight.

Browned meat that got browned to the point it tastes like bacon..add some eggs in the skillet and top with cheese.

Looks like it's going to be a late night at the office. Trying to get a business started is a long and tedious process. Soooo... it's probably going to be MickeyD's or something along that line. sad.gif

One of the local supermarkets has a special on Fridays and Saturdays. $4.99 for a large, one topping pizza, so I think we may do that. It's good pizza too. I've been known to stop in and get a slice for lunch.

Posted by: gaberlunzie 20-Aug-2004, 02:09 PM
Already had dinner...baked chicken...and my son's girlfriend fixed it so I enjoyes it the more! wink.gif angel_not.gif Btw; she's a good cook! smile.gif

I'm on my own for dinner tonight, so it'll probably be frozen pizza (one of the local chain supermarkets has excellent frozen pizzas pizza.gif biggrin.gif tongue.gif ) and a couple of beers, most likely MGD. No Corona or Leinenkugel's in the house cry.gif biggrin.gif .

As I'm going to be at work tonight, it'll be sandwiches, probably peanut butter and banana. Diet Mello Yello to drink.

Posted by: maggiemahone1 21-Aug-2004, 06:19 PM
One of my fav sandwiches is peanut butter and banana sandwiches on wheat. Yummy!

This evening I had a grilled chicken sandwich with tomato and lettuce. I splurged and stopped at Dairy Queen for a vanilla ice cream cone dipped in chocolate. That has been my only treat for this week.

Roast pork, scalloped potatoes, salad with French dressing, and homemade apple sauce. Yum biggrin.gif tongue.gif !!!

Posted by: birddog20002001 22-Aug-2004, 08:23 PM
Tonight I ate at my in-laws grilled hamburgers my father-in-law made potato salad and baked beans, part of the problem is that the burgers were 90% lean meat and you just cannot make a good burger on the grill unless it is fatty because the juices drip out and the burger doesn't seer as well as a solid piece of meat (learned that from the "Joy of Cooking" perhaps the most all inclusive cookbook of all time.) the other problem is that Terry (F-I-L) is sure he is from the long lost Alabama Cajun settlement he blackens everything (icecream, water, etc...) and over spices it too. I hate to tell him when the food isn't so good because it really hurts his feelings and he really is a good guy. But the beer was cold and the company was good so a very good meal all in all

Posted by: Avonlea22 24-Aug-2004, 06:37 PM
Linguine tossed with butter and Penzey's Pasta Sprinkle. Think I might make some corn muffins, too.

Chichen salad sandwich and chips!

Posted by: MDF3530 28-Aug-2004, 03:56 PM
I'm thinking about going to a restaurant that is very popular with the locals in my neighborhood. You can get a tasty burger with either grilled or raw onions (I like 'em grilled), crisp fries with a nice golden color, and quite possibly the best chocolate milkshakes/malts you'll ever have. I also like it because A] it's a five minute walk from my house, and B] they toast their hamburger buns.

O'siyo Ceciliastar,
You are more than welcome at my home anytime to 'break bread' eat.gif A.K.A. to pig out!! lol.gif You have to do the dishes though! ~kiddin'~
~~Pssssstttttt: just a little note to ya..you could probably make pasta, suntea and a nice salad for a lot less money than you spent on that pizza pizza.gif Pasta is relatively cheap, and in hard times, it doesn't need a sauce..how about some butter? And tea-bags, I can get over 200 in a box for less than $2..and spinach leaves or the lettuce of your choice? I would gamble to say that you could purchase it for less than $3..and if you have to have sauce, a jar of Ragu you can get for under $2..not to bad eh? wink.gif
Meals can really be made for cheap and taste a heck of a lot better than fast food and are much healthier tongue.gif I can relate to the 'poor-college' student as well for I spent more than my share of years in college laugh.gif

Thin crust sausage pizza & Miller Lite.


(getting up on the nearest soapbox)


I really, really, really hate it when the network shows, like The Today Show, Leno, Letterman, etc., come to Chicago. Chicago has some of the finest dining establishments in the world. They make it seem like all we eat is deep dish pizza (I prefer thin crust), cheesecake (I've never seen what people see in that), and roast beef sandwiches from a place called Mr. Beef (If I want a good roast beef sandwich, I'll go to either a local place by my house or one of the hyperlinks in my signature called The Patio).

(getting down off of the soapbox now)

I had a fish dinner from Long John Silver's. I really don't like fish, but if you cover it with enough ketchup (which should be in a food group all its own entitled "staples of life!") its actually quite palatable! I've actually had friends say to me, "Would you like a little fish with your ketchup?" Quite literally, you can't see the fish for the mound of ketchup on my plate! But, hey, that's the way I like it! What can I say? smile.gif

Anyway, isn't it a shame? Some of the best steakhouses I have ever been to were in Chicago. Can't remember naes, just that there was soooo many good resturants that is was hard to choose. As for me, tonight I dine on baked chicken and corn on the cob........

Actually, when I'm out of town and tell people I'm from Chicago, I get either "do you know so-and-so? They live in Chicago" or "what suburb do you live in?" My two stock answers are "no, I don't know that person" (while thinking "there's over a million people living in the Chicago metro area, so the chances of me knowing that person are slim, dumbass") and "no, I actually live within the Chicago city limits".

I'm guessing you grew up near either Cairo or Metropolis.

Decided to get a bit creative tonight myself....Chicken breasts stuffed with Monterey Jack cheese, serrano peppers, lime zest, bacon, and fresh parsley. Add to that stuffed Portubella mushroom caps, and Proscuitto wrapped figs all done over the grill. Going to school for culinary arts sure does widen the pallete to new things. Normally, I'm a hamburger & fries kinda guy but I decided to get the family to eat something different.

I had spaghetti with garlic bread.... with a side of mustard greens... yeah, I know, but I just LOVE greens, and my wife hates them and NEVER fixes them for me. Her aunt had some and I have to take them when I can get them! It wasn't as bad as it sounds! Honest! whistling.gif

You're a good lad for eating your greens, they contain more enzymes and vitamins than the rest of the meal.

Posted by: Gordon 06-Sep-2004, 08:32 AM
Annabelle,
Cooking the figs on the grill really didn't change the flavor that much. The sweetness was somewhat lessened by the prosciutto but in a whole, it was very pleasant in flavoring. I normally find figs to be somewhat overpowering in sweetness. I tend to use them exclusively for a part of my iguana's diet but after sampling the wrapped and grilled figs at Central Market in Dallas, I decided to give it a shot.
Cooking isn't all that long. Just long enough to cook the prosciutto, about 3-4 minutes. Give it a shot, it's a real treat.

My daughter is making some tacos for us tonight. I've had a quiet day off... was going to work on my bills and some other paperwork, but have been tooling around here all day... I've enjoyed it though.. There is a good short story in one of the forums (Celtic Hearts? I think)... Better than the Hobbit, etc... that's for sure...(i hope no one is offended on that rolleyes.gif ) Anyway, if you have a chance go by there and add a line.. It's fun.
I need to get up from here and make some guacamole.. yum.

It was just me and my mom for dinner tonight, so it was fast food for us. She didn't want McDonald's and I didn't want Taco Bell. Luckily, the nearest ones of these franchises are right across the street from each other. She had a Nacho Bell Grande, and I had a Quarter Pounder with Cheese and a medium order of french fries.

I remember when McDonald's used to be at the end of my block. The current one on the main street through my neighborhood replaced the old one. Where the old one was is now a parking lot for Borders bookstore. I still miss that smell we'd get when they'd drop the fries into the deep fryer drool.gif biggrin.gif tongue.gif .

Corn tortillas replace the noodles, we use some taco meat instead of Italian sausage and then add diced tomatoes, black beans and whole kernal corn. Layer like a regular lasagna and use plenty of cheese and top with olives. Pop it in the oven until the cheese melts. DE-lish-us.

Talleyrand that sounds pretty good! Daughter was home today so she wanted a home cooked meal so we had steak, mushrooms, asparagus steamed and sweet potatoes. A quick meal but home cooked which makes the kids happy.

We found a new family owned restaurant a few weeks ago and it has become our Sunday dining place. This evening I had fish baked with lemon and pepper, country fries, green beans, cole slaw and a yummy dessert called oreo delight. biggrin.gif

Last night, we had my mom's homemade lasagna and a good Sutter Home white merlot. Good thing I chose the wine. This was a red wine, the kind I like wine.gif . My mom prefers whites.

Just got back from a late lunch, sopa de carne (beef soup), rice and a piece of carne molida relleno (sort of like a Panamanian meat loaf).

I ended up working too long today so I'll have to make my lasagne tomorrow.

2night I am having my Favorite:


Three-Cheese Tortellini

1 pkg. (7oz) dried cheese-filled tortellini (I use lots of frozen)
1/4c. butter
1 small green bell pepper, chop
2 shallots, chop
1 clove garlic, chop
1/4c. flour
1/4t. pepper
1 3/4c. milk
1/2c. shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2c. shredded Swiss cheese
1/4c. grated Parmesan cheese

Cook tortellini as directed on package. (Can also use frozen) Drain. Heat butter in 3-qt. saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook pepper, shallots and garlic in butter about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in flour and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mix is bubbly; remove from heat. Stir in milk. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute; remove from heat. Stir in mozzarella and Swiss cheese until melted. Add tortellini; stir until coated. Sprinkle with Parmesan. (I have left out the shallots and it tastes good)

Dinner tonight is the last thing on my mind (last night maybe.) I've lost track of time since I just arrived home from starting work Friday afternoon at 2pm and it is now 9:10 pm Saturday. I spent the time cooking for over 50,000 hungry Breeder's Cup attendees and other staff at the Lone Star Race Track in Grand Prairie, Tx.
I must admit it was one heck of an experience and, being a student chef, will make the resume that much better once I graduate since I was one of 6 student chef's that were personally chosen by Executive Chef Jake Duplantis to work side by side in the main kitchen with some of his top Sous Chefs. Also, at 200 bucks a day, I can't complain about the money. 1000 dollars after a 5 day work week is nice, especially sinc 3 of those days were only 5 hours each. All other volunteer students were paid 8 an hour for only a 2 day work week of no more than 10 hours a day and they all worked as servers on buffet lines.

The menus for tonight says that the dining hall is serving beef stew, pork spare ribs, fettucine alfredo, egg noodles, and vegan herb crusted cutlets. I'll probably just have salad or pasta. So sick of dorm food, I can't wait to get home and have mom's cooking chef.gif . Oh maybe I can convince her to bake some homemade bread or cinnamon buns, those are the best things about home. biggrin.gif drool.gif

Today we are trying ground buffolo. This is something new for the family. My son is excited. My youngest daughter is willing to try. So it is a go with the meat. I myself have never tried it but having spent part of my life in Alaska I have ate my share of moose, and I've been given by other family members elk, deer, and carabou. My kids wouldn't touch those meat, but I got the buffolo meat from the local Krogers so to them that means it is okay to eat. Along with the meat I'll have green bean, salad, and rice.

Hi there gwenlee,

The only way I can discribe buffalo is it has a twangy taste. Out of all the wild meats I prefer Elk. I do not like antelope, moose and deer is ok. I didn't like Bighorn sheep either. Let me know what you think... smile.gif

Buffalo tastes much like beef, only less fat so it must be cooked accordingly. Do not cook it dry or no one in your house will ever eat it again! It also should be medium rare or it becomes tough.

Buffalo and venison are 2 of the healthiest meats you can eat due to the low fat content.

Posted by: gwenlee 06-Dec-2004, 08:06 AM
My family liked the buffalo meat. There was no left overs. I season it much like beef and cooked it on my George Foreman grille. There was almost no fat drippings. I was surprised that my kids ate the meat because I have never been able to get them to eat any meats but beef and chicken. I'm going to try to get them to eat lamb. It funny they won't try lamb but my youngest daughter can't wait to try Haggis next month at the Burns dinner we are going to-go figure I told her she can have my portion. I'm going to have the vegetarian haggis, which my son says is not haggis, his comment to vegetarian haggis is mom its not right its just wrong!

They are two of the tastiest, also. YUM! I grew up with these as a regular part of my diet. They are exceptional when well prepared. The transition from "medium-rare" to "jerky" is very quick. biggrin.gif

Hi gwenlee,

I am so glad everyone liked it. I know you get used to wild game and who wants beef. I don't think I could do the haggis. What all is in the vegetarian haggis? I may be able to do that.. It is like everyone has said so much better for you. I get to where I really miss it. I love your avatar it is really pretty. Do you own horses?

Have a good one smile.gif

Hi Rindy 1202

There are several good recipes for vegetarian haggis in fact I thought I saw one on this site, anyway some the ingredients are potatoes, oats, nuts, onion, mushrooms, carrots, kidney beans, seasonings and sometimes whiskey.

In answer to your question, do I own horses? Yes I do, I have 4-a quarter horse, a paint quarter horse, a paint Missouri Fox Trotter, and an Arabian mix.

Have a good one too.

Today for lunch I had a artery clogger special from a local place: A deep fried pizza puff, some deep fried cheese sticks, and a medium Pepsi. I usually get lemonade with that, but this place didn't have any sadangel.gif .

For dinner, ham and macaroni & cheese.
