What's for dinnah DU?

[sniffa]

Tonight we're having homemade chili.

1.25 lbs of ground beef
8 slices of thick-slice bacon (cut into inch strips)
1 large white onion
1 large green pepper
1 large red pepper
8 cloves of garlic, chopped
3 hot peppers (with 8 of their seeds)
1 can of Goya red kidney beans
1 large can of crushed tomatoes
1 bottle of Sam Adams Boston Lager
bacon grease
cumin
garlic powder
crushed red pepper
and possibly a squirt of sriracha sauce (the kind we have now is all hot, no sweet)

[ogneopasno]

1. Homemade split-pea soup, PB on English muffins, and beer.

You don't want to be here a couple hours from now. Makes chili gas look tame.

[siligut]

15. Not trying to be pushy but put a carrot or two in and save the dogs some embarrassment.

Something about how our intestines deal with complex carbs, series.

[UndertheOcean]

2. Chicken in whey sauce with a side of jasmine rice

[sniffa]

18. Sounds good

How are you making the chicken? Will the rice be plain?

[UndertheOcean]

20. Just drop the chicken after boiling it in the whey sauce , rice is simmered in the stock

very simple yet tasty recipe.

Not any whey will do , a special middleastern kind that is more acid is used, similar to the stuff that they make ricotta cheese from.

3. Chicken tikka from Indian Food & Grocery on Airport Freeway

This is the best chicken tikka you will ever, ever eat. :9 :9 :9 :9 :9 :9 :9 :9

[Shakespeare]

4. Taking the boy out for his birthday dinner.

Indian food in Santa Monica. :9

[Gormy Cuss]

5. Pasta from Hell

Well, it's really a recipe from the East Coast Grill but that's what they call it.

[sniffa]

13. That looks creative

Bananas!? I'm there whenever bananas are involved.

Have you started it yet? If not, do you have a camera? :9

[Gormy Cuss]

22. This stuff is awesome!

Sorry, no camera shots. We make it with habaneros but you could probably find Inner Beauty sauce locally. It needs a pretty strong hit of fresh, hot chiles to work with all the citrus.

[mnhtnbb]

6. Leftovers. We're in a recession, doncha' know?

[trof]

7. Senagalese chicken soup. I have a cold.

It's lemony.
:-)

[RiffRandell]

8. Sheperd's Pie, salad and red wine.

Curses to the Halloween candy for dessert! I've been eating it non-stop.

Edited for spelling.

[malta blue]

9. shepherd's pie. nt

[sniffa]

29. 2 shepherd's pies

I love that dish, especially if it's homemade. :9

[malta blue]

32. made it myself

:9

[SalmonChantedEvening]

10. Italian hoagie and a slice of white pizza w/chicken bacon & tomato toppings

But the chili looks awesome :P

[sniffa]

38. Thank you

Your dish sounds delish too. :9

[Lex]

11. Spinach Lasagna

[sniffa]

12. Ooh, yum!

:9

Is that homemade?

[Lex]

25. Well, the sauce is from a jar. It's really quick

and easy to make. I posted my recipe below. :hi:

Your homemade chili looks yummy.

[XemaSab]

19. I can has recipe?

:shrug:

[Lex]

21. But of course. It's really easy!

Spinach Lasagna

2 eggs, beaten
1 container ricotta cheese (or you can use cottage cheese)
1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, well drained (I microwave it to thaw it)
3 cups (or more if you like) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 jar pasta sauce
Lasagna noodles (I get the kind you don't have to cook first)


HEAT oven to 350°F. Mix eggs, cottage cheese, spinach, 2 cups mozzarella and 1/4 cup parmesan.

LAYER 1 cup pasta sauce, 3 lasagna noodles and 1/2 the cottage cheese mixture in 13x9-inch baking dish. Repeat layers. Top with remaining noodles, sauce and cheeses.

BAKE 45 min. or until heated through. Let stand 10 min. before serving.

:hi:

[XemaSab]

23. Thank you

You're missing an ingredient though: what kind of wine? :9

[Lex]

27. Ha! We have a bottle of Yellowtail Shiraz.

Nothing fancy, but it is tasty.

[XemaSab]

28. .

:9 :9

[trof]

14. Somebody will be sure to ream you for the beans.

I put beans in my chili too.
Screw Texas.
;-)

[sniffa]

26. I only put one can in

though I bought 2 just in case.

[Kali]

16. probably pork fried rice

with lots of onions and scrambled eggs:9

[PBS Poll-435]

17. Not sure yet

I am in the mood for moderately-priced "Italian" food.

Any suggestions?

[yellowdogintexas]

33. same here. Possibilities include hot ham sandwich, leftover Chile Verde (which

was HOT) a spinach salad

Probably it will be the leftover Chile Verde, when I ever get hungry. Had a nice long lunch at Gloria's, which is Honduran food ..so we had eggs with potatoes, black beans and pico and of course chips etc. It was good plentiful food.

[PBS Poll-435]

34. Gloria's = YUM

I usually go to the one on Greenville.

:-)

[msanthrope]

24. Leftovers--A little cacciatore, a little green curry with flank

steak, peppers, and shitakes, milanese rice, some couscous with mushrooms....

Cleaning out the fridge. Tomorrow is a chicken already brining, and roast veggies.....

[deadparrot]

30. Kielbasa and sauerkraut,

baked in chicken broth and dijon mustard, with a touch of allspice.

The kielbasa's been sitting in my fridge since I bought it as a "buy one, get one" deal at the supermarket, so I figured I'd use it before it went bad.

[Fran Kubelik]

31. I have mac and cheese in the oven.

I took my regular recipe and replaced some of the milk in the roux with white wine. I also added some minced onions and pancetta. It smells soooooooo good. I can't wait for it to be done.

[supernova]

35. Kick ass Black Bean Soup

:9

Wow! Did I outdo myself tonight. :9 :9


1 can black beans

about a 1/2 teasp onion powder

1/2 tesp of freshly ground tricolor pepper

1 Bay Leaf

1/2 cube of veggie buillion

about a teasp of ground cumin

about 3 or 4 shots of liquid smoke

a little salt

Here's the extra special stuff:

about 1/2 Tablespoon if Spanish ground, smoked pimento powder. :wow:

I roasted two heads of garlic and added one to the bean pot. :9

Served topped with roasted veggie salsa.

:9 :9 :9

[sniffa]

37. Very good

I love the liquid smoke addition.
:9

I love good black bean soup myself: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=105&topic_id=7268487

[bigwillq]

36. Chicken fingers and pork fried rice

from the local Chinese place.

[sniffa]

40. Lots of Chinese food on this thread

I haven't had that in forever. Maybe I need to get some before New Year's Eve. :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

39. Chinese food!

Sweet and sour chicken
General Tso's chicken
Chow mein
Fried rice

:9

[1gobluedem]

41. Cold fried chicken

Potato chips and coleslaw. I had a big lunch so dinner isn't much tonight.

[Generic Brad]

42. Lettuce soup, steak smothered in onion and mushrooms, and a brown rice risotto

Fresh grapefruit to close it out.

Man, I love that lettuce soup.

[sniffa]

43. What is lettuce soup?

:shrug:

[Generic Brad]

45. Low calorie heaven

My wife got the recipe from a Jillian McKeith cookbook. I have never made it myself, but I believe she boils two medium cubed potatoes with a head of lettuce. Once it's really soft she purees it with a garlic clove and adds some chicken broth to it. Add black pepper and you have some of the tastiest soup ever made. It is way better than it sounds.

My wife has also made variations of this substituting corn for the lettuce. Then she makes a third version where she uses yams instead of potatoes and then adds butternut squash and carrots. All of them pale in comparison to the lettuce soup, in my opinion. I could eat that every night.

[clyrc]

44. Greens and cornbread

and a tangerine. Such good stuff!

[DS1]

46. My options were reaching blind into a cabinet for one of three possible cans of soup

or not eating.

So I went out and brought some beef and broccoli and house special rice home.
