OMG!!!!!

Schmaltz!

For me, portobello mushroom risotto.

I am considering pizza, with spinach, red onions and black olives, a bottle of Orangina and a chocolate chip cookie for a very bad dinner.

Orangina, eh? Haven't had that in a while. I used to love the stuff.

I pronounce it "orange-jai-nuh" when with friends and have embarassed myself on more than one occassion by ordering it as such in a public eatery.

Dinner: Leftoever fried potatoes and onions with some cheddar melted on 'em. Salsa, beer, and whatever else I can find in the fridge.

...schmaltz...

My former mother-in-law-equivalent used to make matzoh brei with vegetarian schmaltz. Yes, there is actually such a thing, though it's a gross misnomer, as vegetarian schmaltz.

She made it at our house one time when she was visiting. It was really good -- tasted strangely like fried chicken.

Man, but I despised that woman.

Anyway, sounds like a great dinner EJ.

All of this sounds like a great dinner to me!
Have me over some time! I'll even dine with Fido.

Sounds like a great dinner, EJ. Me: leftover peanut/tomato soup from last night. Holy crap that stuff is good. I had it for lunch, too

peanut tomato soup? recipe please?

Me: A bowl of Frosted Flakes. They're not do GRRRRRREEEAAAAT for dinner.

mrs.pants I will put it up on the cookingwithmetachat site. Right now.

If time permits between end of workday & start of high school freshman open house, I'll make pad thai real quick. Otherwise, god only knows. Frozen pizza maybe. Sigh. I can already tell this is going to be one of those weeks.

done!

More of the curried-chicken-carrot-and-chickpeas-with coconut milk I made last night, over brown rice, with slivered almonds and fresh CILANTRO garnish.

Ugh...Gatorade!
(that's all i've been drinking the past week, since my appetite upped and moved to inner Mongolia!)

Here's something delicious...
Summer Shrimp Quice

1/4 cup scallions 1 cup half and half
2 tbspns butter 1 10 inch previously frozen pie shell
1/2 pound cooked (peeled) shrimp 1 large tomato
pinch of pepper 1/4 cup shredded white sharp cheese
3 eggs

Saute scallions in butter, add shrimp and pepper and cook for 2 minutes. Set aside. Beat together eggs and half and half. Spread shrimp mixture in the bottom of the pie shell. Pour half and half/egg mixture over the shrimp. Top with slices of tomato and sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes (for a shallow dish) or 40 minutes for a deep pie dish.

Excellant!
