those meetings ... yuck!

I found out tonight that I enjoyed quesadillas with just cheese and mild jalepenos and the taco-bell like sauce.

I had Ruben sandwich; celery. Having some rosemary Triscuits for munching.

I just picked up some cradled pepper Triscuits at the store today. Triscuits are great when you're feeling snack-y...they give the crunchy, salty flavor without being as bad as potato chips or as involved as popcorn.


Dinner for me tonight was unusual ..

*Store-bought sushi (yum yum rolls)
*Salad
*Oriental soup (onion flavor and something else with rice noodles)
*Pre-made Apple brioche bread pudding

I made a casserole with turkey, bow tie pasta, broccoli and cheese. I was pretty good but I just can't do turkey. Will try it again with chicken.

Just set up the crockpot and it will cook all night. Chuck steak pot roast style. I love it done this way.

Rita, I like it that way as well. Reminds me, I should get a piece out of the freezer. I purchase larger portions and cut them up and freeze them.

Truthfully I love the taste of Chuck. I like the fat in the meat. But you can't just throw chuck steak on the grill, it is too tough to eat that way. So I put mine in the crockpot and it turns out so tender when done. I guess pressure cooking woulds work well also but I don't have one so just stick to my crockpot.

I have fresh pork tenderloin, not sure how I will cook it yet, veggies will be mustard mayo cauliflower and sweet potato.

Tonight was cheese fondue with bread and carrots and a side salad. It's rare we have all-vegetarian fare.

. . . sounds pretty good though.

We had leftover taco soup and Irish soda bread.

Ribs and leftover bow tie pasta with salad.

Did you make the bread?

When I make bread, its always in the breadmaker, but I might try some recipes in the future that are just good ol' fashioned, made on the counter (and in the oven) types of bread. Sometimes I feel like I'm missing out on the finer types of bread...

Yes, I just bake the bread in the oven. I don't have or want a breadmaker. I love bread! If I had the convenience of a breadmaker I'd probably eat a loaf a day and be the size of a house.

Karen

Me too!!

Soda bread is done atop the stove, usually on a griddle ..
I grew up eating it and potato bread ..
I was born in Ireland .. raised in Canada ..
LOVE soad bread with eggs n bacon

Today I am OUT for dinner with some friends, I forsee a salad in my future

Haven't been on here for a while. Poor Man's Lobster is just boiled fish dipped in butter. I used cod, but Haddock is good this way too.

Thanks. Anything dipped in melted butter has to be good.

I'll drink to that.

Karen

Stuffed shells with meat sauce, garlic bread and salad.

I don't care for fish that smells "fishy." Haddock is one that doesn't smell. I like it tempura batter-dipped and fried. Then dipped in vinegar sauce when eaten. As a side, I like to tempura batter-dip and fry fresh vegi's like carrots, sweet potato, broccoli, eggplant, onion slices, and some others. (Not all the different vegi's at once, of course.)
