What's for Dinner Tonight?

We spent the day in Amish country today and picked out a potential new kitchen table. Stopped at an Amish restaurant for dinner and had the open faced roast beef sandwich with gravy and mashed taters. Sorry, but no pics (forgot). Stopped for a frozen custard when we got close to home. Have overnight guests now. Will feed them breakfast and send them packing early.:brows:

My wife bought two big bags of salmon fillets from Sam's Club last weekend and now is mad because I ate all of them! :mad: All I had to do was add a little seasoning and I could cook up two of them on the little George Foreman while I heated up a can of green beans and nuked me a nice pre-packaged serving of rice pilaf. She said it was supposed to last a month! Now she wants me to quit working out so hard because I now eat all our food and the 2 gallon jar of protein powder I drink each week makes me really gassy. I suppose the dozen eggs for breakfast (whites only - dogs seem to love the yellows) just makes the gas worse. Oh, she also bought a big bag of spinach and is mad because they are all gone too. :whistling: isn't that better than Pop-Tarts for lunch (no breakfast) and Taco Hell chicken tacos for supper??
 
We decided to have beef tenderloins on the grill. Wind was blowing 20-30 mph but they turned out wonderful. Got two heads of cheddar cauliflower from my BIL this morning. We blanched and froze all but enough for supper. Made some buttered noodles and topped the cauliflower with some shredded cheddar. Thinking might be ice cream for desert in a little while.:clap:

Stuff from the deli on the way to work-
Sliced beef and swiss on an onion roll.
Asked the gal behind the counter to scoop some pasta salad into a container until I said 'okay, that's about right'..
Grabbed a bag of Lay's at the checkout and a Tazo iced black tea.
$11 for that.
At least it wasn't chinese again or Taco Hell.
 
Had some ice cream earlier but just had a piece of comb honey from an Amish neighbor. My god it was good. He already did all his hives so we need to get ours as soon as the weather is right.

Saw a pint of comb honey going for $9 at a trendy roadside stand a few weeks ago. The yuppies will pay anything if it says natural or organic. I bought 3# of raw honey (no comb) at another stand for $12. Damn, the price sure went up. The stuff from Sam's Club is all pasteurized (dead), and is running about $15 for a 5# jar. I heard it was a bad year for bees.
 
Well it wasn't a bad year for bees around here. Right now there is no spraying in the hollow as most fields are hay crop and not stuff that needs spraying. That and not leaving enough in the hives to overwinter the bees are the biggest killers of hives. Hope to pull ours out tomorrow.
 
Had a conservative cashew butter and blackberry preserves sandwich, on nutty oat bread. .. because it's the only thing that sounded good to me.
Did have some butternut squash soup later.
Middle class dining on a fine Tuesday evening...

Breakfast for dinner. Fluffy cheese omelet, savory breakfast sausage and toasted Italian bread.

Looks good Joe..mmmmmmm!
This evening, a bunch of us are gathering out at my friends Roxanne and John's farm.
They're having a pit fire, chili..s'mores.. music and beer..
If it rains, we're moving into the pole barn.
I'll be making 2 dozen deviled eggs to take along.
:smile:
 
Oooooooooooh! I love deviled eggs.

It was a windy, cloudy day with on & off rain, so I took a small pork roast and turned it into pork stew. Very tasty!

Looks good Joe.
Had a nice time, though really wanted to stay longer.. that is, until the uninvited showed up.
Word spreads amongst friends of friends.
Things got a little too boozy and nuts, so.. I made my exit.:hammer:
 
Our dinner came completely from Sam's club. Rotisserie chicken, gourmet mac and cheese from the refrigerator section (never tried it before...it wasn't bad!), salad and strawberries.

Looks good Mama. You don't always have to cook to have a good meal.Mine is in the slow cooker. Beef tenderloin chunks with onions,carrots and potatoes. Starting to smell real good too.
 
that's correct, muley- nobody said a great food has to be made in ur own kitchen. (ur tenderloin, um. good stuff.)

mama, that meal looks lovely. the macaroni & cheese~ :w00t2:there's not a food i can think of that is so crowd-pleasing- it's~
comfort food -produces a lovely aroma while baking -u can feed so many!- very, very few dislike macaroni/cheese- economical- delicious- so many variations
 
Nice Mama :)

Tuna melt on oat bread with mushroom soup here.

Later I went to Speedway to fill the tank and spotted the single pack of Suzy Q's near the checkout.
They said psssssssst! c'mere...
Being one not to ignore whispering cakes.. well.. what could I do?
:yum:
 
Half of tonight's dinner was in the freezer; pulled pork and a container of pork gravy. Just thawed it out, made some smashed tater and steamed some fresh carrots & broccoli. Since there wasn't a lot of gravy, I just put the meat & gravy on a pile of smashed taters with butter & sour cream. I even have enough for lunch tomorrow.
