What's for Dinner Tonight?

Saucy meatballs (undiluted tomato soup, brown sugar, worcestershire sauce, garlic-pinch dry mustard), oriental style noodles and sweet potato

I went to the market and dinner will be Penne pasta with Italian sausage and sauteed tri-colored peppers, zucchini, broccoli, carrots and plum tomatoes in a cornstarch thickened chicken stock. We'll see how it turns out. I'm just not in the mood for tomato sauce today, but fresh diced tomatoes will be fine. I'll season with Italian herbs and top with a blend of fresh grated Asiago, Romano and Parmesan cheeses. Too late to make Italian bread, but I may see how making garlic toast from my honey whole wheat might taste. I'll do up a slice in the toaster oven now to see how it is.
 
A box of Girl Scout cookies (peanut butter Oatmeal) and a banana.
All washed down with stale, old coffee.

Working till Midnite again. :sad:

See now Franc, that ticks me off.
I'd forgotten all about the Girl Scout cookie sales this year.
Do-Si-Dos are my favourite.:hammer::yum:
My niece used to be in the scouts, and I'd buy them from her each year.

Sorry you had a sucky dinner, but at least you had something to fill your tummy.
You're at work right now? or working from home?

Our plant is running at two 10 hour shifts. I am the owner so I only get to work 16 of them.
We have two brand new products that launched in the same month. One is a new "invention" of sorts. We have a machine doing something for which is was not designed, so I have to babysit the operation.

One of the BENIES of being a small business owner.

Last month we had no work whatsoever. Be careful what you wish for.

So you basically do what my BIL does.
He's a foreman at a large food production plant here.
They recently introduced a new packing machine for getting out mashed potatoes that end up going to Yoder's (local) and Bob Evans.
It all used to be done by hand on a line of employees.. now it's up to the machine to do it.
Progress?

Actually, yes.
My new product is a sample pouch that promotes a new product hanging from a bottle neck.

Not just for food, we are introducing a new product from Clorox. We also do Gummie bear vitamins. And we package lables for the cooked whole chickens at Walmarts.

Ever eat LandOFrost lunch meats? We do the coupons and contest pieces you find inside their products.

What is it, or can't you say?

Now you've got me even more curious! :flowers:

No, I don't buy that product, but have seen them in the store here for sure.
Last time I bought anything from that section, it was the Oscar Mayer carving board variety because it looks and tastes like fresh prepared meat, and not a thin slice of something to simply plop between 2 slices of bread.

The product is a powdered drain cleaner freshener that will be hanging from Clorox Tile Cleaner spray bottles in Target stores.
That's the launch product.

This new Bottle hanger pouch will be used everywhere,,,,,I hope,,,to introduce new products on old standbys.

Flavoured crystals on bottlled water.
Or
Pizza Hut coupons on your door knobs.

Stay tuned
 
Dang it! All this talk about luncheon meats and gummie bears has made me hungry. Might have to raid the fridge now.:hammer:

Good luck Franc.
Honestly, I don't get this whole flavoured water thing or the little packs to add to.
We used to call that Kool-Aid.

Water is as plentiful as air, so I don't understand bottling it, or coming up with something catchy to make it more appealing.
Pizza Hut coupons come in the Sunday edition of the Lima News, so do those for Captain D's.
 
Mini wagon wheel pasta topped with tomato sauce and fresh grated romano & parmesan cheeses. Mixed salad (red & green butter lettuce, red & green shredded cabbage, grated carrot, black olives, vine tomato and sliced mushroom caps) dressed with Good Seasons Basil dressing (dressing packet, EVOO, flax seed oil, canola oil, apple cider vinegar, and red wine vinegar), sliced almonds, McCormick Perfect Pinch and toasted sesame seeds.

It's called "MARKETING" pg.

It's what I do.

Sorry.

As for the bottled water thingy, we actually produced a product called "Blinky Blinker Fluid"

Made in Blinkerville USA.

Did a few of our boneless NY strip steaks on the grill. They were great but too rare for my liking. Seared nice on the outside and definitely red pink inside. Most rare meat I have eaten by choice in many years. Then again lots of folks like their meat like that.

A little comfort food. Angus chuck roast from Sam's Club, pan gravy, smashed taters, roasted carrots, broccoli and a "kitchen sink salad" (not shown). Brownies for dessert.

Sometimes pasta is delish with nothing but butter and garlic.
Spaghett! being a fav.. who needs red sauce all the time?
 
he said it was olive oil.

i make pasta like that, too, or the olive oil/garlic. maybe a grate of parm reggiano. ummmm.

know, a fave is to take the stuff from the antipasto bar, various olives, sun-dried tomatoes, feta or bleu, some of the oil- combine that w/ angelhair & at.
 
later, antipasto over pasta. (lollie, thanx for getting me hungry fer that, as i got groceries earlier.) da man's having baked macaroni & cheese. got a container of granny smith slices & a bag of those cuties (the 'lil clementine-esque ones) for dessert.
 
Had my fish for lunch today. Then grilled 2 rib eyes and made some Bush's beans and home made macaroni salad for supper.
