What's for dinner?

Just had the Boursin Baked Chicken and the wild rice (with gravy!). It was so good I envied myself for getting such great food EVEN AS I ATE IT!

The Spy Crumble is still in the oven. Guess I’ll be envying myself again soon …

everybody at home is sick. Chicken rice soup it is.

Home-made chili tonight. Nothing like a bowl of red and a beer to settle down the stress of the day.

It’s lunchtime for me. I think a cheese and ham sandwich will hit the spot.

Man, that DOES sound good! I might have to make that soon.

Earlier today I read someone’s recipe for lamb curry burritos or something. It sounded very complicated, but the main thing I took away from it was BURRITOS. So I made myself a couple of tasty tasty black bean burritos for dinner. They were goooood!

I just had the spy apple crumb cake washed down with mocha coffee.

I AM ENVYING MYSELF LIKE A MOTHERRRFUCKERRRRRR!!!

I recall my beanie weenies, indeed, my Pad-Thai-From-A-Box, and curse beginning this thread.

Leftover “scrambled amoeba”. :slight_smile:

That’s my name for hamburger hash and mashed potatoes, all mixed up. It is my favourite meal of all.

I bought some glorious new cookware at Costco on Sunday (stainless-steel pots and pans with copper/aluminum bottoms, and they’re quite heavy–my first new set ever!) and the first thing I did after getting them home and washing them was make mashed potatoes. I had the potatoes boiling in three litres of water and the handle of the pot was cool to the touch.

I also took one of the frying pans, poured a thin layer of water in it, put it on the heat, threw in some diced onions, and dropped in a frozen lump of lean ground beef. As the beef cooked on the outside of the lump, I scraped it off and let it simmer. Eventually the lump was all gone, and the meat was all simmering. I have no idea whether there is a culinary name for that technique.

So I had some of it on Sunday, and bunged the rest into the fridge. I went to the gym tonight after work, and on the way home, all I could think about was this food.

Thanks, Sunspace. I feel better.

If that avocado has softened enough by tonight, I’ll have the best cold chicken wraps the free world has ever laid eyes on. Chicken, avocado, tomato, onion, cucumber, salsa, possibly some garlic. Meow.

Tonight, at mudgirl’s request, we will be dining on French toast. When I make my menus on Sundays, I always ask for requests, and her request was “breakfast for dinner; we haven’t done that in a long time!”

Ohhhh, so that’s what you were doing… :dubious:

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it … :stuck_out_tongue:

Uh huh… :rolleyes:

I call it “Oh, Crap - I Forgot To Thaw Any Meat” and employ it rather more than I would like.

Works a treat, though, dunnit?

Dirty rice tonight with some andouille.

breakfast for dinner sounds good…now do I want French Toast or eggs over easy with toast and grape jelly? Just posting this is making me hungry! :smiley:

I asked my GF to take out some chicken for dinner.

Dinner depends on which chicken ended up being defrosted. I’m hoping it’s boneless breasts + thighs, 'cuz I want to make my favourite chicken dish tonight: Chicken paprika. I have a ton of homemade yogurt that should be used up, and it’s a kick-ass way to do it.

I made my husband a chicken casserole. I cubed two boneless chicken breasts, sauteed them with a diced clove of garlic in olive oil, sprinkled on a little salt and pepper, then drizzled a little balsamic vinegar on top…cooked it until it was browned, then added a can of Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup, a half can of milk, some parsley flakes…uh, then mixed that up with some cooked noodles…put that in a casserole dish, covered the top with five slices of Velveeta cheese and covered that with bread crumbs. I popped it in a 350 oven for 20 minutes and the man nearly wept with joy!!!

And to think I made it up as I went along with what was in the fridge and pantry. He actually said, “You should enter this in a contest.”

My goodness…I’m Julia Child!!!
