What's for Dinner, DU?

We're having some kind of chicken breast sandwich with sauteed garlic and onion on French bread, I think. Sniffa's in charge this evening. :)

How about you? :hi:

Fish sticks and Chocolate pudding.



I may opt for soup tonight tho.... Be daring, Be different! That's my motto!

:headbang:

Gotta make a decision!!!

Vine rolls, hummus, and kibbe.

BTW, congrats on your wedding Bibaby! I missed it! I was away on business in Argentina and had very limited web access in the southern hemisphere.

My very very best to you and that impossibly sexy guy you married.

Q

J'adore Kibbeh. OMG, I do!

Awww, thank you!!! We are very, very happily married :D :D

:hug:

Stuffed with rice, pine nuts, and mint. Sauteed over roast tomatoes and garlic. Would you like the recipe? I also have recipes for kibbe. One of my exes (so many men) was an Arab and his mom gave me many recipes for middle-eastern cooking. i have a treasure of recipes in my kitchen. Just ask my dear........

Q

:loveya:

lemon sauce they drizzle over it in Greek restaurants?

Juice of 1 lemon
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves of garlic
salt to taste

Combine all ingredients in a mortar and crush with a pestal. If you don't have a mortar and pestal, use a food processor. If you don't have a mortar and pestal or a food processor, I really don't know what to tell you. Crush all ingredients between your ass-cheeks I would guess. Although, it may not taste so good........depending on your toilet hygiene. I really can't say.

But it really is a tasty little vinaigrette!

Try it!

Q

The ones I have had in a Greek restaurant had a creamy lemon sauce over them, which had the appearance and texture of hollandaise sauce but with a pronounced lemony flavor and acidity. Did they just take those ingredients and whip them up somehow?

You would have to use a food processor, but add an egg yolk near the end. I really don't like doing that because salmonella is present in raw eggs and I'd just rather not do that. One could always thicken the sauce with corn starch or agar. But why don't you just ask the chef at the restaurant? I have found that most chefs love to share their recipes and are very flattered when customers ask for them. Try it! You might be surprised!

Q

:)

Wrap it in a tortilla, you've got one heck of a meal ... :9

grr next time though :)

Didn't you have scrambled eggs recently? Is this a theme with you? :P

Those are SO GOOD!! If I'm ever on a desert island, I'm going to bring a cooler full. And a microwave.

a nice salad on side..heavy on tomatoes and raw onion.

I'm doing the scarsdale medical diet. Not easy.

With chicken and sausage. :9

:(

pretty good. However, we have a fabulous pub here called the New Orleans that serves FABULOUS Creole food. YUMMMMMMM!!!!

Yum

Trying to make a vegetarian pizza without the crust for once; more vegetables are better anyway. :9

Just makin a pizza from some premade dough I got at Trader Joes's, fresh mozzerella, a big ole' tomato I'm gonna slice up, lots of Basil, and the twist is gonna be that I'll add lots of grated Emmentaler at the end and some Niçoise olives.

That's wonderful!!

Since I know you're of French birth....I got married on Bastille Day!! w00t! :D

:hi:

Now get off DU already and go have that honeymoon already; start it early :P

Sounds strange but it's quite tasty.

I had meatloaf, mixxed veggys from a can and banana bread.

And someone had the nerve to call my loaf "baked meat brick" ?!? I'll still keep her around though. :D

:hi:

hubby topped his off with ice cream

:hi:

We love those darned Hawaiian Rolls, it's about the only thing I let in the house with HFCS

Can't beat that.

We had some delicious prawns with a sweet/sour sauce and my favorite pad see hew (big wide smoky noodles and broccoli with chicken -- I love it with tofu as well). Rice as well.

It was wonderful.

Weight Watcher Points : 4.5

Fried chicken, FRESH black-eyed peas and FRESH sauteed collards. :9

I've only ever fed Collards to an Iguana :P

Instead of cooking them for hours until they're almost mushy, I get the bag of mixed southern greens from Trader Joe's (in with the bagged lettuce, and already cleaned and cut up for you, which is most of the work). I chop up a slice of bacon and a little onion or scallion, brown the bacon until the fat starts to render, toss in the scallions for a minute until they soften, then in go the greens. They'll shrink in size by about half almost immediately, and as soon as they do, I pour in a healthy splash of white balsamic vinegar (again, Trader Joe's) and some finely ground white pepper, and continue to saute until most of the liquid is absorbed/evaporated. They're perfectly cooked & seasoned, and it takes all of five minutes. You should try it sometime!

I had chicken tenders for lunch, but I'm not in the mood to make dinner, and it's too late to get anyone to deliver around here.

I had a frosty from Wendy's. Can't get enough of that wonderful stuff (with apologies to Lena Horne).

;)

Fried chicken and grilled chicken, deviled eggs, fresh blueberry muffins, baked beans, corn on the cob. It's a teen birthday dinner. Cheesecake for dessert.

Burp!

garlic, cumin and chile powder....and quinoa salad (quinoa, caramalized onions, diced roasted tomatoes and spices) YUMMO!! :9

:9

lime juice
olive oil
dash salt
fresh ground pepper
minced garlic (lots!)
ground cumin
ground chile powder (I think it was ancho)

I ended up marinating it for two days...it turned out fabulous! :hi:

Mmmmmm...yummy.
