What's for Dinner Tonight?

I made the ham as planned, and took all the ends for myself (my father used to do that also). I simply coated the ham in brown sugar, blackstrap molasses and honey. Mmmmmmmmmm... macaroni salad, buttered carrots & broccoli for sides, and Moose Tracks ice cream for dessert.

For tonight's dinner it will be something turkey! It is cooking down in the big pot now and smells good.:clap::clap:
 
dinner was 2 sweet & salty bars & an ensure- my Mom should be here to get me in 'bout an hour so i'm in a hurry after a really busy day. i may make veal later.

i have nary an inclination of the types of food my Mom & Stepdad-to-be's kitchen has now, although i know from visits past that it was predominantly generic boxed convenience food, baloney & ham from a package & not the deli, frozen cheap meals & miller lite. suffice to say i predominantly drank the miller lite for breakfast, lunch & dinner- hence a fave pic of me wearing my prescription specs on a very early Christmas morning last december-

Scrambled eggs with fresh grated romano and parm cheese added to micro steamed asparagus sauteed in butter cooked til soft set. With sliced tomato dressed with fresh basil, EVOO, sea salt and ground pepper on the side.
 
Here's my dinner.
Made the omelette using 3 eggs beaten with cream---then sauteed some baby spinach leaves, sliced button mushrooms, minced garlic and a little nutmeg in butter.
Topped with shredded white cheddar, covered pan for cheese to melt.

Bacon is John Morrell Hardwood smoked thick style- the BEST!
Toast is some leftover sourdough I bought recently at an Amish market.

Chicken Fajitas with sour cream, onion & green peppers, homemade corn tortillas and Spanish rice. Just threw it all on the tortilla and called it dinner. Making pies for tomorrow, so no time for anything fancy tonight. It was really tasty, and everyone likes the corn tortillas over the flour ones I made when I made beef fajitas.

Thanks Peeps!
Man that pie looks good!
It has a milk wash with cinnamon and sugar, doesn't it?
Not that I've been lurking in the kitch or anything.. lol :D ;)

I have the mashed sweet potato pre baked then mashed with orange juice, butter and brown sugar (as well as a shot or two of brandy, same method I used previous years to stuff oranges with), with asparagus/pearl onions, cranberry sauce and roast beef. No turkey this year as it is only my wife and I this year as per her wishes. The last 8 years we have had at least 20 people every holiday here to eat and leave the cooking and cleanup to us. This year she said NO and I'm thankful for that as I do most of the cooking.
 
Turkey, ham, corn pudding, stuffing, mash and gravy, sweet taters, green bean casserole.
1 roll.
No dessert.
I considered the sweet taters dessert.
 
the classic, get-'er-done, turkey/stuffing/veggies/smashed taters/several appys & dip & a cheese ball type of dinner. cheesecake. gravy, crescents w/ butter, yams, crabmeat-stuffed mushrooms that my nephew made w/ me, that kinda meal. the food i brought to make for myself-the lo-sodium- is not here. i gave it to my Mom, not thinking, to keep in thier fridge. i kept my portions nominal tho- we drank pop, too
 
I usually dont think much about what is for dinner cause I dont cook, but tonight I know what we are having. Leftovers.
 
~shudder~ sbarro's spaghetti /meatballs & a breadstick w/ pop. the cake was great,- my Mom got it @ the office & when she went on her way earlier it was on my table.
i was too hungry to wait on real food after hours of shopping so i caved & got mall food. woulda been soooo bitchy if i didn't get some food in me on my return 2 pitttsburgh-
