What's for Dinner Tonight?

The whole first floor is disrupted while I paint the woodwork, so we just had toasted ham & cheese sammies on whole wheat, with some Italian wedding Soup left over from Monday's staff meeting at DW's work.

I made a pot of chicken soup, I have a bad cold and thought chicken soup would help me out. I wasn't impressed with my soup, but then I can't smell or taste anything. :sad:
 
cold spaghetti/meatballs that i opened w/ a bottle opener (can openers & myself, we prefer to not be pals) & multi-grain cheerios, rice krispies, & organic horizons milk. one of those nights, tonite.
then a few drafts.

It's a bitch wasting good food on a cold where you can't smell or taste. FWIW, next time you make scratch chicken soup, add some soup base to kick up the flavor. These genetically raised chickens have about as much good taste as a liberal heckler at and GOP rally.:brows:
 
my nurse & me went to market district & got samples. then i went to a bar. got bribed to bring my beloved bartender her faves food-wise in exchange fer shots.
a guy i know offered to take me to a concert. we shall see on that one. see if they have foodstuff & alcohol.
 
fired up the grill since it's not raining, baking some fries, brocholitini is on the hob, and salade on the side

a 2002 Porteous Cab Reserve is the wine
 
meatball hoagie (or a piece of one, anyhow- they make 'em as food ought be made- plentiful! i have half in my fridge.), then i went on a pantry & fridge dive. pasta, deli meats, cheese, alcohol, & early on, a few foam cups of multi-grain cheerios & a cup-ful of rice krispies w/ organic horizions milk. my finger is broken, so i cannot cook fer chit fer now. sour candy of 2 sorts fer dessert, too.
&, my nurse & i got many a sample while we got groceries earlier, too.
 
i have reverted to my old habit of pairing various items. tonite was soup, pasta, a few slices of deli meats, coleslaw, & pabst. & a slice of a meatball, too. i make teensy amounts. i'll make a snack later on, as well.
 
Riblets, broccolislaw and B-size redskins pan fried in bacon grease & herbs de Joseph. :brows:

On Sunday I made chicken noodle soup for DW for an appreciation luncheon today at her work, and she brought the leftover home tonight. Added a couple toasted ham-n-cheese sammies and we called it dinner.

This afternoon I made 4 dozen Sweet Potato & Mascarpone ravioli, and 6 dozen 4-cheese ravioli for our son's birthday dinner on Saturday. All were frozen then bagged for Saturday.

Sorry, too much flour all over to bring out the camera.
 
Friends coming over so we made our crock pot beef stew, homemade rolls and as part of the appetizers, homemade potato chips with homemade Garlic, Tomato and Basil dip.

Double play yesterday and again today. Vegetable turkey meat loaf. Only difference is tonight I steamed broccoli & cauliflower instead of green beans tossed in buttered Italian bread crumbs. left the skin on the taters, because we love them that way.

There is no such thing as bad meat loaf. Eat it hot, cold, in a sandwich doesn't matter. :biggrin:
 
Went to Chicago and had my wife's birthday dinner. Her Birthday is tomorrow but I'll be at a fencing competition all day and into the late evening before I get home.

Started out with some grilled octopus served over a boiled fingerling potato salad.
Then some Squid/Mussels/Clams served over toasted rice sized noodles. (don't recall the special name of the noodle).
Finally some fluke baked in a bag with fennel, white beans and a garlic butter.
Each course had its own wine, but honestly I'm not really a wine guy, could have lived without any of that.

Then we walked into the kitchen and got a little cooking lesson from the chef and the fish monger, got to try some boiled octopus in there, and discussed cleaning fish, squid, etc with the fish monger. Was a nice evening.
 
we were given a cheese plate, via bartender, & i drank a few (5) drafts. got so slippy via snow that bartender made me dial her once i got in. i was thinkin' sno-cones- until i thought of how non-pristine city pavement is & how many shoes, boots, dogs, & 'at have gone over that snow. soup for me fer my dinner. (my wake-snooze times aren't normal.)
 
Baked bbq'd chicken legs (2), rice pilaf and green beans for dinner last night (at work).
No idea what I'll have this evening.
Might go out with some friends if I can arrange it.
Steak sounds good.
 
Pork chop, roasted balsamic & Parmesan cauliflower, twice baked potato & tossed salad. The cauliflower was DW's idea, and it was just OK...nothing to write home about. Not something I'll waste cauliflower on again. (Don't tell Mama...shhhhh...)

I believe that is also called a breakfast strata or a fritatta in Italian. Real men don't eat quiche, but we'll eat an egg pie all day long. :yum: I make these with all veggies quite often for my breakfast. Low calories, high nutrition, and damn tasty. below are some of the ingredients I use for mine.

Last night we cleaned up the leftover turkey meatloaf that Mama made on Saturday. I smothered mine in ketchup and hot sauce. Mmmmmmm...

blake is on his way over. seeing if he can have his cabbie take him to get fast food; have not gotten that in awhile- KFC or pizza.
 
Going to crumble leftover burgers from yesterday in some brown gravy, with macaroni, onion, mushrooms and whatever, and call it dinner.
