[hippywife]

We had stirfry with asparagus, onion, baby bellas, orange and red peppers in a sauce made from tamari, vinegar, a pinch of brown sugar, minced garlic and ginger, red pepper flakes, and five spice powder over whole wheat pasta.

What did you have or are you having? :hi:

[bigwillq]

1. I had turkey meatloaf

roasted potatoes and string beans. :) :hi:

[hippywife]

2. Yum! Meatloaf!

Hubband made an awesome bison meatloaf Saturday. :9

[bigwillq]

10. I never had bison meatloaf.

My sister makes a very good turkey one. :)

[hippywife]

16. Much like turkey, it is

very, very lean and tons less fat than beef. He made a deer meatloaf once back when we were first married. I'm thinkin' I may let him back in the kitchen once in a while. ;)

Glad your sis cooks good stuff for you, coz you are too cute to allow to starve. LOL

Hubband loves gumbo, too! :D

[bicentennial_baby]

7. I'm almost there...Sniffa is sick now too!

[hippywife]

12. Whatcha gonna make him

Aw, get better, Sniffa. :hug:

[bicentennial_baby]

14. We have plenty of leftover chicken noodle soup!

:D

The pizza was my celebration request, granted. It is yummy pizza. :9

[Fox Mulder]

8. I had a steakhouse burger from Burger King.

With onion rings.

I'm going to be paying for that tonight.

[hippywife]

9. If only we could remember

how crappy we felt when last we ate something stupid, eh? ;)

[Fox Mulder]

11. Oh I know.

But it was soooooooo good. :(

[skygazer]

13. The Mr. is making pork chops

Breaded and baked with some chili powder and salsa and cheese. Pretty yummy and easy because he worked all day.

But I'm sure not gonna cook! :P

[hippywife]

15. That's different.

I don't think I would have thought to put those things together. :hi:

[suninvited]

17. Rosemary roasted potatoes.

and asparagus. All of my meals include asparagus right now. It is a short season.

[hippywife]

20. I know what you mean!

Gotta get it while we can. I love rosemary roasted potatoes! Enjoy! :)

[suninvited]

31. With asparagus, it is feast or famine

but, gotta love the FEAST period, I cant cut them fast enough!

[VenusRising]

18. I'm boiling the noodles for Linguine Fra Diavolo

right now. :9

It smells freaking awesome in here right now. I wish you could smell it.

:hi:

[hippywife]

21. I wish I could, too!

Yum! :9

:hi:

[Lil Missy]

19. Glazed Salmon, scallops, and shrimp, on the grill. Yum!

[hippywife]

22. Fabulous!

What are you using for the glaze? :hi:

[Lil Missy]

29. It's a glaze recipe the uses brown sugar and, I think, butter.

I'm in the midst of dying my hair right now, so no time to Google it! Time is of the essence!

But it has to be very hot when you apply it to the grilled salmon, because it turns hard quickly. It's delicious!!!

[hippywife]

30. Well, when you're not otherwise

occupied, would you mind passing along that link? Thanx! :hi:

[Lil Missy]

33. Here ya go:

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Sweet-and-Tangy-Glazed-Salmon/Detail.aspx

INGREDIENTS
6 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
4 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 1/4 teaspoons dried dill weed
3/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 pound salmon fillets, with skin
lemon pepper to taste


DIRECTIONS
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, and mix in the brown sugar, lemon juice, dill, and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir until the brown sugar is dissolved. Reduce heat and simmer until ready to brush onto the salmon.
Season salmon with lemon pepper, and place directly on the grill grate, skin side down. Brushing frequently with the butter and brown sugar glaze, cook the salmon 20 minutes, or until easily flaked with a fork. Reserve some of the glaze for serving.

[hippywife]

34. Sounds wonderful!

I might have to throw some garlic and a splash of soy sauce in there, too. But I'll try this as is first. Thanx! :hi:

[Lil Missy]

37. Ooooh! I might try that too next time!

I forgot to mention that I have to make the sissy version without the cayenne pepper, so I sprinkle that on my own salmon patty when it's ready to serve.

I also make a dynamite HOT Potato soup that includes cayenne pepper. But I have to split it into two separate pots - one for the sissy's, and one for me that includes cayenne pepper, and chopped dry red peppers. Makes your nose and face and ears sweat, but it's delish. I love hot stuff.

Serious warning though, It's just as hot coming out as it is going in. LOL! Not for the faint of heart.

23. We are being lazy tonight

Iza is getting takeout from our favorite Thai place. I'm getting green curry with veggies and tofu. :9

:hi:

[hippywife]

25. I'm all for lazy

where a favorite Thai place is involved. Probably a new one since I lived there. I used to love, love, love Thai Village on Goodale but I know it's long gone. Closed not long before I left Columbus, I believe.

Enjoy! :hi:

[SallyMander]

27. I'm not sure how long it's been around!

It's called Nong's, and it's on King and Northwest... or maybe 5th and Northwest? I always forget. Good thing Iza is picking it up ;)

[hippywife]

28. Well, it's new

in the last 11 years, anyway. :rofl:

Sometimes I miss my old stomping grounds. :cry:

[yellowdogintexas]

24. pork loin roast and a rattatouille. Lemon Souffle in the oven. nt

[hippywife]

26. Lovely!

I absolutely love lemon anything! :hi:

[yellowdogintexas]

32. this is my family's favorite dessert. They call it the Lemon Thing

It is actually a lemon pudding cake which I discovered when baked in a deep dish instead of a flat one becomes a souffle.

[Fleshdancer]

35. salmon and spinach sauteed in garlic, evoo and lemon juice....

with couscous and sliced cucumber. :)

[hippywife]

36. Sounds like

my kinda dinner! Enjoy! :hi:
