What's for dinner, DU?

[TheProphetess]

I have a roast with potatoes and veggies in the oven right now and it smells GREAT! I can hardly wait for it to be done. The wonderful smell is making me so damn hungry.

Whatcha eating tonight? :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. My dear Prophetess!

Oooh, that sounds just yummy!

I don't know just yet what we're having tonight...

I have a few hours to shop in!

Farmer's Mkt, and then the meat mkt...

You two enjoy your dinner!

Enjoy whatever you decide on as well. Gotta love the farmer's market! :9

[MissMillie]

2. chicken teriyaki potstickers

[TheProphetess]

4. Ooooo, that sounds very good

I've been craving Asian food and now I know what I want for lunch tomorrow! :toast:

[Omphaloskepsis]

5. Tonight is an anniversary...

I'm not sure what I will order. But I should hop into the shower.

[TheProphetess]

9. How lovely!

Happy anniversary to you!! :toast:

Ours is Monday...:)

[texanwitch]

6. We already had our supper or dinner.

My aunt is visiting and we eat early, the big meal around noon.

We had chicken fried steak with all the goodies.

We have been canning vegetables for two days, we needed a good meal.

[TheProphetess]

10. Yum!

Enjoy your aunt's visit!

[susanna]

68. Oh, my texanwitch...you are a soul mate.

I have been searching...and searching...and searching for a good chicken fried steak in the Detroit area. It didn't used to be so hard to find. Before any of our southern DUers get all righteous on me (which you probably have a right to), remember a couple things first:

1) Detroit was settled by a lot of southerners during the automotive boom
2) So we used to have really good southern food up this way
3) I'm the first generation of my family raised in the north; I grew up on beans, taters, buttermilk biscuits and chicken fried steak (and of course fried chicken)
4) I am craving me a good chicken fried steak...

...and I can't find one anywhere! My husband (he's Polish, ha ha) says I'm the only person who makes it right. I think it's because of the gravy. He's a gravy wh*re. I did teach him well. :-)

[Bullwinkle925]

7. Think I'll be simmering up some Trader Joe's Gnocchi -

smothered in parmesan with a little green salad. Will be uncorking a new bottle as well.

[TheProphetess]

11. What time shall I arrive?

Sounds fantastic! :9

[Bullwinkle925]

64. Come on over my dear . . .

We had spaghetti.

[Redstone]

13. Mrs R's grilled chicken with a sauce of mushrooms, tomatoes, onion, garlic,

eggplant, and celery, plus whatever else she decides to throw in.

With cheese tortellini and coleslaw on the side.

Oh, yes.

Redstone

[TheProphetess]

15. Now that's a dinner, my friend

Buon Apetito!

[Redstone]

17. Hey, yours sounds durn good, too. Enjoy!

Redstone

[Roon]

14. A banquet frozen dinner

Either Swedish meatballs or lasagna. Haven't decided which one yet.

[TheProphetess]

Mexican meal style. :)

[Roon]

[mainegreen]

[TheProphetess]

23. Nice!

Very summery and yummy.

[av8rdave]

20. Whatever I can scrounge up in the Atlanta airport

[Redstone]

22. They got decent grub in airports these days? I haven't been in one for about

20 years; I assume it's improved.

Redstone

[av8rdave]

27. there is some ok stuff, but I've spent so much time in this place that I'm tired of all of it! lol

[TheProphetess]

25. Popeye's chicken?

Kidding. Good luck!

[av8rdave]

28. I think I'll scratch that for tonite....

What I could really use is a sandwich and a cold beer, but I have to ride a jumpseat tonight, so that's not an option.

[In_The_Wind]

21. grilled shrimp accompanied by baked spinach with feta wrapped in philo dough

:hi:

[TheProphetess]

26. That's fancy!

Sounds delicious - enjoy! :hi:

[BarenakedLady]

29. Homeade pizzas

One with sauce and cheese. One with pesto and tomato sauce, cheese, mushrooms, olives, sundried tomatoes, and hot peppers from my garden. They were very yummy.

[TheProphetess]

43. Oh, my, that sounds yummy

:toast:

[bridgit]

30. tamales, chili relleno', beans & rice...

[TheProphetess]

Mmmmmmmm :9 :9

[Beausoir]

31. New recipe. Grilled chicken pasta. WIth tomatoes and fresh basil from my garden.

On rotini. Red peppers, lots of garlic.

[TheProphetess]

45. I love fresh basil

It makes any dish even better! Yum!

[Beausoir]

62. The basil adds a brightness to the dish. The recipe was good. My kids ate every bit of it.

I love juicy tomatoes this time of year.

[texas1928]

32. One of my favorite comfort meals...

browned ground meat with new potatoes and green beans mixed together.

[TheProphetess]

46. Nothing wrong with comfort food

Mashed potatoes with meatloaf is one of mine. :hi:

[mvd]

33. Steak, baked potatoes, green beans

:9

[TheProphetess]

47. Mmmmm, steak!

Yeah....:)

[TheCentepedeShoes]

34. Pizza from Hungry Howies

Hubby will call them in a little bit and run down to get it, just a couple or so blocks away.
He made the mistake of informing the dog that we're "going for pizza" and the silly thing won't sit still.

[TheProphetess]

48. How cute!

Does the dog get a little treat, too?

[bbernardini]

35. Maple Thyme Pork Chops and some sort of baked beans that involve bacon.

It's from one of those "Dream Dinners" places where they put together the marinades and portions for you, and you put together what you want. Comes with preparation instructions and suggested side dishes. Good stuff.

[TheProphetess]

49. That sounds great

I've never heard of the "Dream Dinners" but I like the way it sounds!

[bbernardini]

56. dreamdinners.com

Explains everything and gives all the locations and menus.

[TheProphetess]

57. Cool - thanks!

[KitchenWitch]

36. I am thinking it is too hot to eat tonight

I will make the kiddo something but I think I will skip dinner.

[TheProphetess]

50. Oh no

The temperature here just dropped to a lovely 78 degrees. That's down from around 100, so we're very pleased.

[Shine]

38. We're going out for sushi to celebrate a good friend's b'day

:woohoo: :9

I loves me some sushi!!

[TheProphetess]

51. Me too

We just went to a wedding over the weekend where there was a sushi counter at the reception. Two guys furiously rolling sushi rolls while the guests scarfed them up as fast as they put them out. It was terrific sushi, too.

Enjoy!

[EstimatedProphet]

39. Let me tell ya, that roast was FANTASTIC!

Wow!

[TheProphetess]

52. Awww, shucks, honey

I'm glad you liked it - I enjoyed it too. It's an easy recipe (from Southern Living) but it is just delicious!

[TommyO]

40. Palermo Primo Thin Pizza - Grilled Chicken Caesar

[TheProphetess]

53. Sounds really good

Enjoy! :toast:

[1gobluedem]

41. Ham steak, fresh organic corn on the cob, and coleslaw

It was dee-licious.

Tomorrow night -- fresh new beets. Mmmmmmmm.

[TheProphetess]

54. Are these vegetables that you've grown in your garden?

Sounds fabulous!

[JTG of the PRB]

42. Hmmm... I haven't decided yet.

It'll either be Ramen, a tuna fish sandwich with some chips, pizza, or some Spaghettio's. Hmm... Decisions, decisions!

[TheProphetess]

55. Been there

I start a new job on Tuesday and I'm a little afraid that I'll head back down that path. I've gotten used to cooking while I was unemployed so we've got some scheduling to do in terms of dinner preparation.

[fizzgig]

58. right now, it's wheat thins and high life

i'll probably make something later but it's too hot to think about cooking right now

[Kali]

59. spaghetti

and? salad with homegrown tomatoes and cukes.

[Ekirh]

60. Tonight we had . . .

Cordon Bleu, stuffing, baked beans, taters, tea... basically left overs night

Note: There is nothing wrong with left overs night.

[Beausoir]

63. Leftover night is fab! Usually, our leftovers don't make it past lunchtime.

Food almost always tastes better the next day.

[opiate69]

61. My bastardized (but oh-so-popular) indian curry chicken..

I make it with alfredo sauce instead of yogurt.. a LOT creamier, and obviously WAY less healthy, but damn! It's THAT good..

[Zoigal]

65. Mushroom fetticcine with

sauteed scallops a la Trader Joes. Also threw in a few handfuls of frozen peas...
One of our favorite meals.

[AtomicKitten]

66. chicken Marsala & baked vegetables with asiago cheese

yum

[susanna]

67. I did a brisket a few days ago, so I know what you're going through...

Tonight, though, Seafood Louis/Louie from a local fresh foods market - I really didn't feel like cooking! They use a kick of cayenne that's really, really nice. Oh, and as a side, a "pretzel" bread I found at a local shop. Really, really good. :-)

[otherlander]

69. Eggplant Parmesan

and delicious homemade bread :9

[jobycom]

70. Improvised mushroom sautee with garlic, tomato, and field roast

sauteed in olive oil with a flavoring of balsamic vinegar and vegetarian Worcestershire Sauce.

Accompanied by a cabbage-potato dish with rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper, tied to the mushroom dish with a splashof balsamic vinegar.

Mushrooms turned out superb. The cabbage-potato was merely good. Mostly I was pulling together odd ingredients and leftovers from the fridge, so not bad.

[Breeze54]

71. Not much today...

I have some frozen chicken breast strips and a can of green beans and two potato's.

I'm short on money but I still have some pasta and ......

But I got some $$ tonight! :D

All is well. We eat! :P
