I baked a couple of potatoes over the weekend and then they didn’t get eaten (long story, alcohol was involved) so tonight will be baked potato soup. I have carrots and green onions (and cheese and bacon) so I think all I need is fresh cream and/or milk. Yum!
We’re going out to [del]a wine-tasting dinner[/del] get properly schnockered, but the kids will have a choice of leftover stir-fry or leftover stroganoff. They’ll probably just eat some Cheerios.
Pita filled with Falafel, Lettuce, Tomato, and Tzatziki sauce with a side of fruit. Very light but it’s summer and that usually hits the spot for a Monday evening.
( a yummy, throw everything, kind of salad, with blanched green beans, cucumber, sprouts, blanched carrots, on bed of shredded romaine and cabbage, chilled roasted potato and a hard boiled egg, with the white firm and the yolk still liquid, a spicy peanut dressing, and topped by a fresh shrimp cracker. Yummo!)
I will probably make the liver a side dish/appetizer and do something else as a main entree. Maybe pasta. I enjoy a few bites of liver, but there’s a diminishing return with each bite. I stop enjoying it sometime before I get full of it. My wife is happy to have just that for dinner.
Aloo gobi.
Maybe some bacon and chard from my garden on the side.
I also have some vegetable soup I made yesterday and the tomatoes, green beans, yellow squash and herbs therein all came from my garden. I was quite proud of it. But I think I’ll take that for tomorrow’s lunch.
Husband and dog will have leftovers from last night (it was grilled sausage/hot dog type products that still haven’t been identified in some cases - there were hot dogs, there were smoked sausages with cheddar - those two were identifiable - but there was also either bratwurst or italian sausage - he wasn’t sure which because the idiot forgot to label the package when he froze it and he hasn’t tasted it yet even though they’re cooked) and for me, I have no freakin’ idea. What I really want is a Filet-O-Fish from McDonald’s. And a small fry. And a chocolate milkshake. But I’ve already changed clothes and don’t feel like driving during rush freakin’ hour, especially around the train station which is too close to where the closest McDonald’s is. So I’ll probably eat cereal. Or Goldfish crackers. They smile at me so that makes me happy…
Heh - funny - great minds and all that :-). It turned out pretty good, I make Melissa D’Arrabian’s recipe for Falafel: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/melissa-darabian/falafel-recipe.html. I cheat and use canned garbanzo beans when I make it on weeknights - makes it a lot easier and quicker to throw together.
My wife is eating a bowl of watermelon and a bowl of corn chips, and I had some cottage cheese with mango and blueberry. It’s rather too hot to turn on the stove or oven.
Normally I don’t get home until after 8 on Tuesdays, which usually means stopping off for ramen or something on the way home. But thanks to a cancellation, I’ll be home at 5:30!
Dinner will probably be rice (with either umeboshi or kimchi), grilled kamaboko, and honey-glazed carrots. Eel is on sale and I am tempted, but even on sale its too expensive
