Sunday dinner thread

[Ellen Forradalom]

I am expecting XemaSab any moment now. We will be serving bun (Vietnamese noodle salad): rice vermicelli tossed with stir-fried baked tofu, carrots, shallots and string beans; served with garnishes of mung, daikon and sunflower sprouts, diced cucumber, and peanuts, and topped with a dressing of lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, jalapeno, garlic, and chili paste.

Can't wait to dig in!

1. Sunday Dinner?

What you are serving sounds yummy, but whatever happened to Sunday night roast beef? Or roast chicken? Or roast anything? Okay, I am a traditionalist. I like a roasted dead animal for Sunday dinner. Is that so wrong?

2. we had roast beef

stuffed with garlic, surrounded by red potatoes, onions, and carrots :9

[querelle]

5. Wow

Sounds good. I love a good roast beef. I had a roast pork tonight with mashed potatoes, baby carrots, fresh corn, and a gravy to die for. HEAVEN!

[Ellen Forradalom]

10. Who said it was wrong?

I put roasted dead soybeans in my salad. Does that count?

[LeftyMom]

3. I had pizza. I need to go see if the beer is cold yet.

For dessert, I have caffine free cola or root beer and some vanilla soy ice cream for floats.

Not exactly gourmet, but I had a long day yesterday and tomorrow will be a mess so I'm trying to recouperate today.

4. Enchiladas:

And some left over to freeze:

6. a lame attempt at pad thai

I made what you would come up with if you've had pad thai and wanted to make it yourself, but you didn't have a recipe. It certainly wasn't pad thai, but it was pretty good.

Stir-fried rice noodles in a spicy Asian sauce (out of a bottle) with crushed peanuts and cilantro on top.

Eh, it turned out okay.

7. We had Sonic.

I had a cheeseburger, fries, diet dr. pepper, Skip had a bacon cheeseburger toaster sandwich with tots and a dr. pepper. It was some yummy stuff.

8. OMG, you pre-empted me!

I was just firing up the ol' laptop courtesy of my friends at linksys and lo and behold!

A XemaSab-Ellen dinner thread!

I think you should just post the recipe here to share the goodness with our 90,000 closest friends! 'Cause that's what friends are for: posting yummy and healthy recipes!

So just to recap: we had healthy and yummy food. And wine. And coffee. And cheesecake. :D

[Ellen Forradalom]

9. Very healthy cheesecake.

Psychologically beneficial. :-)

Here ya go:

I followed the sauce recipe fairly closely, but totally improvised the rest. Baked savory tofu works really well in this recipe.

[XemaSab]

11. There were 4 raspberries on my piece

Which counts as 4 fruit servings, right?

:shrug:

Dude, there's a LOUD band playing over here. I dunno what's up but I'm hoping it ain't up for too much longer. :P

[Ellen Forradalom]

16. That works

And think of all the calcium in the cheesecake!

[XemaSab]

18. Plus the mineral water!

I think we have discovered the most balenced of all possible diets here! You could send people to space on food such as this!

[Ellen Forradalom]

19. You could climb Mount Everest

on the calories in that cheesecake alone. Talk about high-density nutrition.

[XemaSab]

20. You ever read "the vegetarian epicure?"

It talks about having a rich dessert to back up a light meal.

I am following the advice of the elders of the tribe. :D

[NMMNG]

12. I didn't have dinner at home

Now I'm at work and I'm just eating here and there as I get hungry. I had a veggie burger on multi-grain bread a while ago. I have some Pad-Thai with tofu that I might make up later and some fruit for "dessert"/treat. There's also salad here if I'm in the mood. It's a 12 hour shift so I'll likely eat a few times.

[Ellen Forradalom]

13. So fundie-slaying

is a 12 hours on, 12 hours off gig? Kinda like being a firefighter?

[NMMNG]

14. My weekend job is 12 hour shifts F/S/S

The weekday one is regular 8 hour shifts.

[Ellen Forradalom]

15. Whoa

that's a lotta fundies.

[NMMNG]

17. Indeed

It seems the more I slay, the more they breed and indoctrinate. It's a never ending job .

[regnaD kciN]

38. But they come out in force on Sundays...

...hence the 12-hour shifts. ;-)

[u4ic]

21. Sounds delish!

Thanks for the recipe above. I'm going to try it.

I had garlic and dill roast potatoes, a salmon fillet (so what if it was High Liner, it was incredible), broccoli and a salad. And 2 Double Chocolate Almond Cookies for dessert. :9

[Broken_Hero]

[Nicole]

27. I had a Whataburger with cheese & bacon,

fries and a coke.

[reformedrepub]

28. What is a

Whataburger?

[Nicole]

29. Whataburger is a hamburger from Whataburger

Whataburger is a Texas fast food chain. We have lots of them here in Oklahoma. I think they are only in the south.



The burgers & the place are both called Whataburger.

[reformedrepub]

30. aaaahhhhh

got ya...Thanks. I was stationed in Tx and Ok and never got to one...damn that looks good.

[Nicole]

32. They are good for fast food

because they really aren't fast at all. :rofl:

They are made to order, no heat lamp patties like McDonald's & Burger King.
