What's for Dinner, Fri., Jan 20, 2017

Turmeric chicken wings from a recipe in the NY Times. Here’s what it says about them: This chicken marinated in a deeply golden curry sauce with ginger and scallions is one of the essential components of arroz gordo, a dish from Macau.

A big, green salad with cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, carrots, and red and green peppers.

not really, I'll stop at a store and pick up some prepped food. I am really too depressed to cook, but if you want to share your chicken, I'd not say no.

No, not because of Trump.

A birthday in the family.

And my Wife is experimenting (usually that goes well).

I need a drink - and then I'll decide- I will be making chicken soup and shepherds pie this weekend!

5. Faked lasagna

Noodles being off our menu, it's all the ingredients of lasagna with squash and mushrooms, stovetop until the last 5 minutes, then broil the cheese.

Plus enough gin to break a mule.

It relied heavily on the squashes (butternut and acorn) to replace the pasta. Lots of cheeses, plus mushrooms in a tomato sauce. We (the band and I, who are with one exception carnivores) were happy to have the lasagna.

that is an excellent lasagna. I've enjoyed it every bit as much or more than one with noodles.

7. Pot Roast again

Leftover pot roast that was cooked in the cRock pot.
I will make a salad - I know I have cucumber, tomato and lettuce, but hoping there is more in the frig.

It seems likely that TJ caught my cold. She has taken to her bed, so I will be dining alone.

I think I'll finish off my whiskey before dinner to maximize its effect. There is only an inch in the bottom of the bottle. I think I need to tune out from current events for a little while and it will help.

Low-carb, of course. Homemade 'slaw, and a rice-quinoa mix from Aldi.
And yes, there might be booze later...

Cher, that chicken recipe sounds great! I'd have to eliminate the cornstarch, but I'm bookmarking it to think about later.
