What's your next meal? [More:]
Despite bringing in homemade yellow curry with tofu, mushrooms, potatoes, and peppers for lunch, I just decided to order delivery from a Southern cooking place with my coworkers.
Curry will wait til Monday, and today I will eat mac and cheese and cornbread.
Lunch is leftover potato soup.

I am waiting to see if we're going to close early because of the imminent Snowpocalypse II: The Snowening. If we close within the hour, I'll wait and eat at home. If not, there's a lean cuisine in my near future.

Tomato soup and toast. I am sick again. But the wind is howling outside, and being bundled up in here listening to it is pretty nice. Soup will make it extra-nice.

Leftover cheese tortellini with tomato sauce and broccoli.

I already ate lunch (indian food from a box) but am currently attempting to make dutch babies (a dutch baby?) thanks to Stewriffic posting a recipe on Facebook.

Toasted Hot Cross Buns with butter and marmalade.

I never know until I'm eating it.

Lunch today will be a homemade turkey sub sandwich with mozzarella, toasted in the oven.

Sushi with a friend and her baby. Hmmm, that makes me sound like a cannibal.

Either a slice of pizza or a California Burrito. Or maybe in-n-out. Today is my "cheat" day and I'm going to be decadent in the lunch department.

Here in AR, it's more of an Icepocalypse, we're already in the middle of it, I'm iced-in at somebody else's house (dogsitting for a coworker), and they don't have jack in the pantry, so my next meal will probably be a frozen pizza.

Partner's brother-in-law is coming to see us this weekend, so the three of us are going to our neighborhood Italian place/hangout, probably for calzones.

Probably an avocado-cheese quesadilla at home, in about 20 minutes.

I'm thinking the chicken lo mein bowl at Pei Wei, splitting an order of spring rolls with my wife (who will inevitably have the veggies & tofu teriyaki).

I just ate a big fat Fuji apple, because I was fed yummy! bacon! (and french toast, and pork green chili omelette) for breakfast at work, compliments of a catered celebratory thing, and will leave work at 3.30 to go to another celebratory happy hour thing with Boss and some colleagues, at which I will have yummy! wine! and hurrah! steak! Which is of course all paid for out of corporate expense accounts, whee!

On review, I have been getting paid to eat well lately, yikes.

Probably a stir fry, if I can muster up the energy. Yes, that is exactly how lazy I am feeling today.
posted by msali 29 January | 15:01
Maybe a sandwich. Or an apple. Possibly some cereal. Or more cold medicine. We shall see.

I made brownies yesterday, so I am hoping it won't be brownies, but it will probably be brownies.

Galley food. I'm going to drink something that is a translucent blue color and pretend it is Romulan Ale. Illusion always helps galley food.

Mixed greens (the Dole gourmet mix) with feta and vinaigrette.

Hey! How'd the Dutch Babies turn out, leesh?

boringpostcards: is that the same restaurant where we rocked out like Aretha?

As to a meal? Dunno. Maybe leftover Dutch Babies, cold. And....some clementines? I was gonna say a salad, but I left the dressing at work. I could make some, but I'm LAZY.

Buzzman- what is Galley food? Like a ship galley?

Fish and chips from Hires Big H.

Friday night is always pizza night at Chez Speck and TheDonF. Tonight's flavour is garlic sautéed mushrooms and blue cheese. Homemade dough, homemade sauce (spicy!) and plenty of fresh-ground black pepper, lotsa fresh mozzarella. Extra dough has been rolled into small balls, stuffed into individual aluminum baking cups, and topped with butter and garlic. These are the garlic bread pull-aparts and will be ready in about three minutes. Then in goes the pizza. Red wine washes down all.

Galley is the Navy term for a chow/mess hall. I've been sent away for skooling. No ships. I really wanted to see ships. But I am eating at an actual Navy galley. It is not that bad, above average cafeteria grade.

Remember the scene in Apocalypse Now; where the "chef" character was lamenting how he joined the Navy to be a cook, and he saw them toss a hundred pounds of finely marbled prime rib into into vats of boiling water, and he couldn't handle the sight of it so he became a PBR crewmember? The galleys/chow halls still occasionally desecrate good meats like that. Or grill nice rib-eyes into well done grey and black hockey pucks. Overall; it is pretty good nutritious food. It does hurt my fragile mind to see good veggies, meats, and fish occasionally boiled beyond recognition and flavor.

Sheppard Air Force Base; now they have good food. Full on pastry chef; complete with 12" chef hat. OMG. Four layer chocolate silk pies, peanut butter pies, cherry pie, apple pie, blueberry pie, layered chocolate cake, creme de menthe chocolate pie; all on homemade crusts. The chocolate pies usually had some sort of a oreo cookie type crust. Whole compliment of non-chocolate pies and cakes; I'm a chocolate pie/cake person; so they got my gastro-nautical (punny!) focus. I'm still 10 lbs heavier for my time at Sheppard. Mmmmm. Pie. What a food coma. mmmm.

They aren't the galleys/chow halls of traditional lore. Good nutrition and good food has been a part of ?fueling? a good days service for about 20+ years now I guess.
I'm grateful for the opportunity eat at a galley or chow hall. It is pretty good food.

It is! :)

Homemade pizza for dinner. I found a portable pizza oven NIB for $10 and it makes awesome pies.

Stewriffic and leesh, are the Dutch Babies from the Marion Cunningham recipe? If not, would you please drop me a link? Many thanks!

Vegemite on toast.

In bed. Ha!

No, it's much easier than that one. It's from my hometown's Junior League cookbook, circa 1976:
3 T butter
3 eggs
pinch of salt
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup milk

Coat heavy 10-inch iron pan with butter. Beat rest of ingredients. Pour into pan. Bake at 400ºF for 25-35 minutes until puffy and golden.

I serve it hot with maple syrup. Alternately, squeeze on lemon juice and sprinkle with powdered sugar, as my mom used to do.
posted by Stewriffic 29 January | 17:33
Oh, I guess it's about the same level of easy. I had seen another recipe that I assumed you were referring to.

BoringPostcards: YUM!

I really, really, want fish and chips, but that isn't happening so I'm not going acknowledge reality. SPITE!

My proposed salad turned into leftover pork roast on whole wheat with onion and dijon, and a big glass of milk.

Every so often, I get to the point where I can't face another peanut butter sandwich (my usual 7 day-a-week breakfast/lunch). Today was one of those days. Buffalo chicken dip from the grocer across the street on a fresh Italian loaf, and a tongue-curlingly green banana.

The dutch babies were awesome! I don't have a cast-iron skillet so I used a 9" cake pan sprayed w/ pam, otherwise followed Stew's recipe. They came out all puffy and delicious! I went for the maple syrup topping and was most pleased.
posted by leesh 29 January | 19:09
I wasn't sure, then I decided on queso fundido. YUM! and a rojo bianco.
posted by crush-onastick 29 January | 19:19
Oh, I'm so glad, leesh! They're kind of addictive and REALLY easy.
posted by Stewriffic 29 January | 21:36
Thanks, Stewriffic! I add a dash of vanilla and a little cinnamon. leesh, we were out of maple syrup the other day and the kids insisted on a chocolate syrup/powdered sugar topping for the Dutch Babies. OMG, was it good.
