27 November 2007

What's for dinner? [More:] Around here it's tacos (crispy potatoes, homemade pico de gallo [sans cilantro], avocado, pickled veggies, black beans, corn tortillas) and some tostones (fried plantains with a citrus/olive oil dressing).

You?
If I'm feeling brave: Scallop and Shrimp Creole from the dining room.

If not: so-so pizza from across the street.

I have about an hour to decide. Wish me luck.

Something with chicken. I haven't decided what - probably enchiladas because they're easy and I don't have to make a side dish.

Diet coke and peanut M&Ms. I'll eat real food tomorrow.

At some point, there will be friend potatoes with bacon.

I ate dinner six hours ago, you insensitive clod. [NOT ANTIMUDPUPPIEST]

It was dry turkey escalope with gravy, mashed swede, and noisette potatoes.

as opposed to enemy potatoes?

Mmmmmmm, friend potatoes. The most Quaker potatoes of them all!

We had 15 bean soup, homemade lasagna & steamed broccoli. Now, we have enough leftover lasagna for the rest of the week.

My first attempt at risotto, wild mushroom risotto. It might be okay. And brussel sprouts.

Isn't "NOT ANTIMUDPUPPIEST" a double negative? Jerk!

We made some paninis from some of the suggestions in my recent AskMe about stuffed sandwiches. Combinations of artichokes, kalamata olives, feta, tomatoes, pepperocini, mozzerella, caramelized onions, smoked turkey, and a few other things I can't recall at the moment.

Right now I'm indulging in a cup of coffee, which I never drink. If you add some pumpkin pie spice to the grounds in a french press, you get a little bit of coffee heaven 4 minutes later.

Luck, bmarkey!

I was going to make 375 bean soup, but I only had 346 beans, so I'm having beer instead.

All I can think of with friend potatoes is mashed potatoes with Mr. Potatohead accouterments mixed in.

I mean to be pro-mudpuppie. Did I get that backwards? I think it's time to go to bed.

Glad you asked! I just pulled a pair of honey-lemon glazed wild pheasants out of the oven!

Left over pork roast with a (fresh) side of broccoli.

The pork roast was originally braised in home made duck stock with some orange juice, two whole apples and a few cloves.

Wonderful leftover carryout from the wonderful West Seattle Thai place. OMG Crispy Garlic Chicken; OMG Prawn and Pumpkin Curry; OMG.

Focaccia pizza with cilantro pesto sauce. It is the best hangover cure known to man.

Grumble, bitch, whine and moan - I'm sick and I had to eat turkey again. I'm so sick of turkey. Even turkey disguised in a delicious stew is still turkey. Gobble gobble. At least I slipped a shot of vodka into my lemon ginger echinacea juice.

Cannelloni with Arrabbiata sauce, ricotta, and spinach and a simple salad with oil, vinigar, garlic and black pepper. Nice after an afternoon of raking leaves.

Oh, and a glass of our house red.

Half-a-bowl of vegetable boullion and a bottle of ginger beer. My colonoscopy is Thursday morning and I can't eat real food.

My boyfriend is downstairs eating pizza and parmesan cheese and I am SO FUCKING JEALOUS RIGHT NOW.

Merf. I need a hug.

Peanut butter soup with rice...mmmm yummy!

Ramix: Need recipe! Please!

Some half-sammich I bought from the store. Turkey and bullseye bread and cheese and salady-stuff.

I had a big lunch of lemongrass chicken, so I'm pretty full.

Getting clear of Thanksgiving leftovers - couldn't face any more rich, buttery flavors. So I grilled a chicken breast and sliced it, then made a salad with cold buckwheat noodles, greens, shredded carrots, scallions, celery, and radishes, and dressed the whole thing with the pantry-sourced asian standby dressing: 1 T. soy, 1 T. rice vin, 1 T. sesame oil, 1 T. honey, some chopped ginger and garlic.

Dinner SUCKED. And not in a good way. Baked some broccoli and cauliflower in a cheese sauce that never quite sauced up enough, and in spite of the mustard and cayenne pepper it was bland and cruddy. I'm glaring at the leftovers that I certainly have no intention of eating. Bleah.
posted by JanetLand 27 November | 22:13
Update: I went with the pizza. It was meh, as usual. But I got to share it with Science Girl, which I wasn't expecting, so that was nice.

My friend potatoes were delicious.

And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see
the biggest spud would be from me
And the card attached would say
Thank you for being a friend

jrossi, I used to love you.

No more. No more.

Sorry, pups. I've got a mad love for Bea Arthur. (It's true!)

We had breakfast for dinner: scrambled eggs, toast, bacon, sausages and hash browns. Yummm.

Cottage pie (which is basically shepherd's pie with ground beef in place of lamb).
I had to use up the leftover potatoes from thanksgiving, they were thinning out much more slowly than the leftover turkey and the stuffing (which is actually gone).

I tried to eat lentil soup, but I couldn't keep anything at all down yesterday. Now it's 5.40am, I've already had a good cry about feeling so sick and shitty, and I've eaten one gingernut biscuit very, very slowly and trying to make my way through a second so I can take some painkillers without puking.

I've been well for 10 days out of the last month. I am so glad those ten days coincided with my and my boyfriend's birthdays!

goo, you might try what my husband makes for sicky-tummy invalid food: short-grain white rice, boiled not steamed (it comes out creamy, like risotto), with a bit of lemon juice and olive oil in it.

It's pretty much all I can eat when I feel like you do. Why have you been feeling so bad for so long? What is it?

We had gigantes plaki and spanakopita that our neighbors brought us. Nice neighbors!
posted by taz 28 November | 02:07
Oh, taz. Yummy spanakoptika, very nice neighbours. I'm alright, just my immunity seems to be low and I'm picking up everything. I was really well for the last year, then I got tonsillitis at the beginning of the month (after returning from a holiday over three continents and the weather changing here in London), then a viral infection. Then I was okay (but really tired) for 10 or so days, then got a killer sore throat, fever, chills, puking etc on Monday. I went to the doc again yesterday, it's another infection so he prescribed some more antibiotics in case it's bacterial. My boyfriend is in Stockholm until Sunday, so I'm a little bit worried I'll do something stupid like turn the heat off in a feverish haze or give up altogether on trying to eat.

Diluted apple juice with lots of ice is all kinds of awesome, though, right at this point.
posted by goo 28 November | 02:46
Oh, and I'll try to cook some rice later on. I might crush a falafel into it as well, for some more protein.

Hot dogs, fries and cider at the barbecue place near BAM in Fort Greene---I'd been there several times before to sample their other meats, but I didn't have time for anything else tonight.

I missed the first two trains to Jersey on Thanksgiving afternoon(I forgot that I could have bought a ticket on the second train instead of standing in a huge line), so what I was served was cold.
