What's for Dinner ~ Thursday Feb 9th ?

[Lucinda]

Allo!

No clue for me yet!
I did manage to eat a small slice of thin crust pizza last night! but am still trying to keep my stomach under control, and basically eating a soft diet.

What's for dinner where you are?

1. making a loaf of bread today....to go along with the leftover potato leek soup!

Keeping it easy!

2. Probably leftovers. No quiche though - that vanished very quickly.

Damn was that yummy.

3. My wife is making me fake chicken fajitas and spanish rice for my birthday dinner

Can't wait

4. Chili

with black beans, blue corn tortillas, salsa.

5. Minestrone

I try to fix two vegetarian meals each week. Not always easy to come up with vegetarian offerings that teenage boys like. Minestrone has a 75% approval rating, but the dissenting 25% can fix himself a sandwich.

Hope you are feeling better soon ....

6. Thanksgiving again!

We froze half of the turkey. So roasting up the other half, bread & wild rice stuffing, green beans, gravy.

16. We're having fake thanksgiving in two weeks.

I always buy a few during the crazy sales in November and stash them away for when I have some time off work.

perfect for a rainy day.

8. A marinated cauliflower salad, slices of fontina and provolone cheese and an

olive tapenade to smear on the crostini.

Glad you are feeling a little better .

11. Asparagus on toast, topped with an egg, grated cheese, salsa. Fruit plate on the side.

The 1st local asparagus pick is in...

12. This is when I wish I had some fresh spinach in the fridge.

I usually do but didn't buy any this week. Darn. I will probably make a nice omelet as I really don't feel like a whole lot this evening anyway. Maybe put some uncured maple flavored organic ham in it (very thinly sliced) and a few scallions. Maybe season it with a little truffle salt and a piece of toast. One of my favorite "I'm not that hungry" supers.

13. Fried Tofu ...

... with sticky rice, mushrooms, and shredded vegetables. I really need to use up that tofu.

14. a dish we un-poetically call "greek meat" with bulgur pilaf and cucumber salad

Browned and degreased hamburger simmered with dill, oregano, lots of garlic, lemon juice, a bit of dried mint, caramelized mushrooms, and plain greek yogurt added for the last five minutes of simmer time. S&P to taste.

Bulgar pilaf: lightly toast bulgur wheat in a bit of butter in a saute pan. Add sliced yellow onion and a handful of minced celery leaves and inside stalks. Add chicken stock -- about equal parts of bulgar and stock should do it. Simmer til wheat is al dente. Not quite soft. Add some chopped fresh spinach to the pan and stir in. Cover for a few minutes. (I actually like this cold, later.)

The yogurt may separate as it simmers. No sweat -- it will taste delicious.

15. giant salad

lettuce, tomato, cucumber, goat cheese (an unallowed diet cheat for me, but I wanted it!), avocado, red bell pepper, mushrooms, bacon ends, chia seeds and greek olives that I bought after a long olive conversation with some stranger at the market, the two of use bought the last two jars of that brand. I love odd store talks with people, maybe because I'm such a natural introvert it feels like an accomplishment to start up a conversation with a total stranger.

17. leftovers and whatever else i can find

i polished off the rest of the roast from tuesday with a big hunk of the bread i made (plenty of butter, of course). i'm still hungry, so i'll probably have a bowl of cereal or some cheese and crackers or something later.
