What's for Dinner ~ Wednesday Jan 23rd

[Lucinda]

Killed ANOTHER computer this week and am popping in to post this on Bill's box. I am going to try and Frankenstein one together from the corpses of those I have killed that are still sitting in the storage closet. Wish me luck.

We have been on a Mexican food kick lately, so when I feel up to eating it's been home-made pico de gallo and some form of burritos.

1. Dragging some chili out of the freezer.

I may try something different. Like making some Mexican calzones or something.

16. The Tex-Mex calzones turned out pretty well!

I'll post the recipe soon.

2. Leftover lima bean soup, homemade wheat dinner rolls and a Waldorf salad

Good luck with your computer project!

3. Well, I'm glad it wasn't ill health that kept you away

well, not yours anyway what are you doing to those poor little computers!?

We will have whatever I find at the grocery store later...

[Lucinda]

4. I dunno. I also kill light bulbs, watches and computer mice. ALL THE TIME.

It's been this way forever. And I am still having health issues but I figure you guys are tired of me whining about it!

[LiberalLoner]

9. Sending wishes for good health for you! PS I kill computers and electronic stuff all the time too.

I figure I have weird energies or something.

5. Pork chop in some concoction (it's defrosting).

7. Went through the larder - it's marinating in yogurt. Baking w/ raisins, cranberries and peaches.

Spiced well. Rice on the side.

12. Oh that sounds so good

I love Pork with fruit.

You reminded me I have a shoulder in the freezer. I think I need to take that out for the weekend.

6. I'm torn between a sloppy joe type ground beef mixture with a cornbread crust on top

and orange chicken, but it's gloomy and chilly, so I am leaning towards the sloppy joes.

Hope your computer woes are fixed soon.

[LiberalLoner]

8. I hope you will be able to get a working computer soon!

Your meal sounds great!

I'm making this today along with Moroccan bread and steamed couscous. DH isn't coming home until after midnight so I have plenty of time to slow cook this (it's actually already in the oven, been slow cooking a few hours by this point.)

I've been on a Moroccan food kick, trying to learn how to make it. I actually ordered my first tagine, an unglazed one, that I hope will arrive in the next week or two. In the meantime I am making this recipe in a dutch oven with a circle of parchment paper pressed down on the stew.

I received a nice cookbook on Moroccan recipes for Xmas and am exploring.

10. I hope that you are able to resolve your computer problems, Lucinda...

and that you feel better.

Tonight, I will finish the fricassee chicken I made on Sunday. Salad on the side.

[The empressof all]

11. I'm doing cabbage/ground beef casserole

Well it's actually not a casserole...I just dump it in the pressure cooker with lots of garlic and a can of tomatoes. I'll eat it over Shiritaki noodles and SO will probably just make a sandwich out of it.

13. Chili verde

Had to use canned chiles, but it's still pretty good.

I'm sorry to hear you're having computer issues. Good luck in getting a working computer.

14. Welcome back, Lucinda!

I could eat Mexican food every day. I am convinced I was a Mexican in a former life. Just made a big batch of venison chile for 50 and a big batch of butternut-apple soup for 50 and have my assembly line of pies ready to bake off tomorrow. I'll make the fillings tomorrow, but the crusts are all formed and frozen for the occasion.

Tonight, we are having baked potatoes, salmon, and steamed broccoli and a ciabatta roll on the side. Back to the kitchen!

15. vegetarian sandwiches on pumpernickel

Eggplant sammiches with roasted peppers, sundried tomatoes, and a big slice of mozzarella on fresh pumpernickel. I flavor the mayo with chipotle. It's hot, but good!

But earlier in the day I made a pot of soup because it was so cold.

LiberalLoner, I looked at tagines. Your cooking adventure sounds like fun.

17. Ribeye steaks.

Baked potatoes and salad on the side. It's been a long time since we've had steaks so we splurged. The steaks were disappointing. I 'd rather have a cheeseburger.

18. Made soup from a can of organic cream of chicken and cream of mushroom combined.

Haven't been feeling 100% last couple of days.
