Hehe, What's for Dinner DU?

[bicentennial_baby]

Gawd knows what we're having, the meats in the Fridge aren't defrosted yet, so it's gonna be something like: Turkey Sandwiches or Tuna Sandwiches, Mac and Cheese maybe, Possibly a Fruit Salad... :rofl:

How about you? :hi:

[scarlet_owl]

1. Well it's just me tonight, so I'll probably just have a lunchmeat sandwich.

So, get busy, girl. :*

[Drum]

[Shakespeare]

36. Come on over, then. It's almost zero carbs!

cashews and almonds....that's no way to eat! ;-)

[Drum]

38. Heh heh...I wish!

That's a bit far for tonight, and am engrossed now in a Yankees/Diamondbacks game. Rest assured though, next time I am out that way I shall be letting you know.

:hi:

[Shakespeare]

41. One of my favorite players ever plays for the D'backs.

Eric Byrnes--used to play for the A's until Billy Beane traded him and broke my heart. :cry:

And yeah, you better let me know if you're ever out this way! :hi:

[Drum]

44. Byrne's great.

Even the Yanks b'casters are all praising him. :)

[Hugin]

Oh I might order a pizza later for a side dish, but my main meal tonight is beer. I took the next two days off from work. An extra long weekend! WOO-HOO! Life is good............

Q

[bicentennial_baby]

10. Foodie says what?

:wow:

:P

[querelle]

17. Oh I Know........

:hi:

Q

[bicentennial_baby]

18. Bien sur, mon ami

:toast:

Enjoy yourself, please. :hi:

[querelle]

19. BTW........

How is Practice Baby?

Q

[bicentennial_baby]

21. Aw, he's awesome, thanks for asking!

He's sleeping right now, but otherwise he's eating and drinking normally, very cuddly and purring, and we have sooo much fun playing. I only have about 100 pics of him now. :P

:pals:

[Drum]

6. A handful of cashews and almonds...sigh.

:shrug:

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

11. Explain?

[Drum]

30. I'm kinda cycling

through days where consumption is "normal" and ultra-light. 2 months ago I reached a tipping point (185 lbs to be exact) and said "enough!" I was eating so much excess---from boredom and habit and depression---and the outcome was pretty discouraging.

After that realization I tried fasting and was surprised to find "hunger" not so unpleasant nor unhealthy for me...no dizziness or weakness, etc. I have shaped up my habits a bit: now am spacing my "real" meals MUCH farther apart, and relying on healthy high-protein snacks in between, and LOTs of hydration. That and a better regimen of exercise has brought me down into the 160's from the 180's...a big accomplishment for me.

I've adapted well to my new meal-plan (and external circumstances don't disrupt it much) but of course miss the regular 2-or-3 daily feasts....

So...I enjoy vicariously, though y'all!

:9

[bicentennial_baby]

31. Hm

As long as you're getting your proper levels of nutrients, I can't quarrel with that, if it works for you. I need ot cut back on some stuff, it's a gradual process. :P

:hi:

[Drum]

34. All good.

Definitely no fanaticism here...too many colleagues I've known with eating disorders. I'm certainly staying healthy, and feel much much better.

I'll join you for dinner tomorrow ;)

[SeattleGirl]

7. Blackened chicken and yellow rice.

Yummy!!!! :9

[bicentennial_baby]

12. Mmmmm....

You've got it good :D

:hi:

[Reverend_Smitty]

13. I was going to make tacos...

but my uncle just called and scored a couple of tickets to a minor league baseball game, so I'll just have to grab something at the ballpark instead

[bicentennial_baby]

14. Have fun! The tacos can wait!

:bounce:

:hi:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

25. I like cold chicken sandwiches

Yum :9

[huskerlaw]

24. Something from Starbucks?

I'm not sure. The roomie and I are making a quick (ha!) dash to Malibu and back tonight. And for some reason, there's really not any good quick-ish (but not fast-food) restaurants in Malibu. x(

[bicentennial_baby]

27. Is it a Starbucks with the yummy breakfast sandwiches?

:bounce:

[huskerlaw]

52. I'm not sure...

I'm assuming they at least have little salads, since it is Malibu and all, lol.

:)

[VenusRising]

28. Homemade pizza.

The dough is rising as I type this to you.

How is that sweet kitty of yours?

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

29. He is wonderful, thank you!

He's passed out in the recliner right now, but we had many play hours today, so I'm not surprised. Still cranky about ear medicine, but otherwise awesome. He's growing so fast! :o

So, tell me about your pizza :D

[VenusRising]

43. It's in it's infancy stages right now.

The dough is a yeast dough with some garlic powder, onion powder, and italian seasoning mixed in.

It will probably just be a simple pizza with some mushrooms and cheese.
My husband isn't feeling all that well, so we're going light tonight.

My best and most recent success was using my pizza dough to make fabulous calzones. The stuffing was made with 1 large bag of frozen spinach, 1 package of frozen artichoke hearts, mushrooms, and alfredo sauce. It was to die for!! :9

[Redstone]

32. I'm going with the V & V tonight.

Redstone

[bicentennial_baby]

33. C'est quoi?

:shrug:

:hi:

[Redstone]

37. Vodka and Vicodin. I had a big lunch, so that will fill me up nicely.

Redstone

[bicentennial_baby]

39. Ah, I see

I guessed the Vic part. :)

I had a tiny lunch, tutoring all day...Me need food. :D

[Redstone]

42. The low temp also spikes the Vicodin need. It's like March around here.

Redstone

We'll be spending a night at home with Mom and Dad this weekend. Should be...interesting.

[TK421]

69. French bread pizza, beer and rum and cokes....

I'm on rum and coke number three...........

[Tektonik]

70. I had...

a bowl of canteloupe and some cereal, but I spent the evening cooking for the next two days of work.

I prepared some bacon wrapped cubes of canteloupe (would've used prosciutto, but I hate the packaged stuff and there isn't a deli near here, and hey I got to use the bacon grease later on :P )

Next I made a simple torn romaine leaf salad w/ some chopped sweet onion, tiny diced canteloupe, sliced almonds, and finely diced pepperoncini (weird combo, but has some of my favorite tastes and covers crispy, soft, nutty, tang, spicy, and sweet flavors/textures). The dressing consisted of strained bacon grease and pomegranate syrup and enough liquid from the pepperoncini jar to tone down the bacon grease.

Then for a main dish I lightly browned some 3 inch strips of top round w/ some chopped onion, then braised it a bit in a mix of vodka which I let boil down and some of the pomegranate syrup, and then added cumin because I hadn't had it in a while. Then I took the meat out and added more cumin to the remaining sauce, added sliced almonds and added some thin green beans (haricots verts from Trader Joe's).

:9

forgot to add, for a second dinner I'm going to have some diet cherry 7up vodkas once I get my lazy ass to Vons and get the 7up :P
