What's for supper?

[Rani Zemirah]

Well, THAT changed mid-stride!  Meatloaf turned into chili beef and black bean burritos with cheese, lettuce and tomatoes.  Ever start pulling ingredients for one thing and have something else totally catch your eye and change your entire game plan?  Yeah, it's like that...

You really need some structure in your life, Rani....

I HATE having set menus!!!  How boring would life be if you ran your calendar by what you were having for dinner?!?  It's meatloaf, so it MUST be Monday... 



Just for that, I'm making pancakes tomorrow night!  Maybe... if I feel like it.  So there...   


Right after I roast that thawed turkey breast, anyway.  Ooooh... now I know what to have for lunch!

Stir fry

Andouille, red beans and rice. Not exactly diet fare, I know.

Bite your tongue, knave! Wild Turkey never crosses these lips.  It's Jack Daniel's, or nothing...and I eat bran flakes. I get all the corn I need in my whiskey.

classic!

Hah!!!  Spaghetti!  So there!!!    heheh




Well, ok... it's actually linguine with a meaty red sauce, but we like it better than actual spaghetti noodles, so we go with what we like.

Leftover Beef & Barley soup. Better the second day.

[Welsh Wench]

Yep. That's about right.

Actually I'm making spaghetti, meatballs, and garlic bread for dinner tonight.

Chicken marinara

[kcdcchef]

Yep. That's about right.

sadly, in 2011 most parents let their kids eat whatever they want when they want. most kids eat crap non stop. "back in my day", we ate what we were told. now my parents were cool, the recognized that like most kids, we wouldnt eat tomatoes, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, a few things. BUT, it was a fact you were eating a vegetable with dinner nightly. and corn was NOT a vegetable. you had to eat a green one, like it or not!

mmmmmmmmmmmm, now i love all vegetables. still BARELY tolerate brussel sprouts though!

Here's my rennie inspired Solstice supper! The meat was salted pork put in a slow cooker w/water, thyme, cloves, sage, salt, pepper, bay leaves, shallots and lemon juice for about 5 hrs then refrigerated while I slept. Then I heated it up & put honey mustard on it. The potatoes I boiled then put in the oven for 20 min w/butter. The wassail was a recipe from Renaissance Magazine: apple cider, pomegranate juice, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, honey & brown sugar heated over the stove. The dessert is a pumpkin log cake w/buttercream & powdered sugar covered w/chocolate frosting & more powdered sugar. It was delish & now I'm stuffed!
