What's for Dinner - Friday 30 August

[DaveSoMD]

So what is everyone doing for dinner tonight? Anyone starting off the Labor Day weekend with something special?

We are going to friends for a birthday cookout. Not sure what is on the menu, it is a surprise, so I'll report back later.

I''m baking the cake for the celebration- chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Made the cake last night and will frost is this afternoon.

 

[Andy M.]

Tonight I'm making Chinese pepper steak over jasmine rice. Possibly with some mushrooms and/or onions added.

 

[bethzaring]

Hopefully leftovers from a picnic I'm having for lunch at the house site; guacamole, blue corn chips, hummus, sliced cucumbers and fresh peaches, and whatever the others bring.

 

[Hoot]

Nothing fancy, but mighty good eats.....meatloaf, mashed taters and gravy, garden peas, maybe avocado pie for dessert.

 

[pacanis]

I just started it off by grilling three hot dogs with toasted buns.
I'm not sure about tonight yet.

 

[Katie H]

We'll have baked Atlantic cod, steamed spinach, black-eyed peas, iced tea and finish with rice pudding. 'Nuff. We'll be full.

 

[Steve Kroll]

There are short ribs braising in the oven as we speak.

 

[Cooking Goddess]

Have the last of the beef roast from earlier in the week simmering in the crockpot with BBQ sauce for sandwiches later - and leftovers to feed the freezer. Salad - this time with the Burgundy tomato from the farmers' market. Corn on the grill IF I can hit the roadside stand before they're all out. If I'm successful Himself will grill it after cutting grass. Gonna get a two-fer from the bug spray.

 

[GotGarlic]

DH is out golfing with friends tonight, so it's just me. I'm thinking nachos and a salad.

 

[Dawgluver]

I had another all afternoon meeting with really good snacks (again, snacks were the only redeeming factor, I OD'd on snacks)...not terribly hungry right now.

We may go back to the brand-new restaurant where we had the REALLY good porterhouse last week, and split a meal again.

 

[pacanis]

I've decided to grill a ribeye tonight. I've got some mushrooms I'll sauté with onions, probably just with butter. And I picked up some sub rolls at the store today, so some nice grilled garlic bread, also. Nothing green, but I'll live.

 

[Aunt Bea]

Fried haddock and a side salad.

 

[Rocklobster]

Sounds good everybody. I am envious. I just got home from a grueling day. Eleven hours of H-E double-hockey-sticks. Friday of long weekends are always killer. I cooked, baked, fried, sauteed, sliced, diced, cleaned, trimmed, talked, hocked, enough food to feed the army. I don't want to eat a thing. I think a few rye and gingers and snoring by 10 will probably be the plan.

 

[Alix]

Chicken thighs in marinara, with zucchini slices on top and some mozza on top of that. Its baking right now and smells amazing! We will have pasta with that and a caesar salad and an avocado/tomato/cucumber salad.

Bugs made some banana chocolate chip cookies for dessert and there are also some M&M cookies and some double chocolate chip cookies. Might make ice cream sandwiches with those.

 

[chopper]

Pepperoni pizza!

 

[Cooking Goddess]

Came home from errands to Himself sporting an upset tummy. He had cottage cheese with apple butter, I had a small BBQ beef sandwich. He said he'd graze so I'm off the hook for anything else. Seems like a 24-hour thing so the corn should still be good tomorrow, fingers crossed. It was warm from the field when I bought it, so it's infinitely better than most to begin with.

 

[CatPat]

I cannot be allowed to attend to DA until tomorrow because of the cold I received. But I am able to cook in the basement rooms. DA had the dish Gwen brought to her. It was the lasagne she cooks very well.
I had the yogurt and one hard boiled egg. I was not hungry but I must eat.
Tomorrow I will surprise her with the nice London Broil, and it will be with other things I have not thought of which yet. It will be quite special and I will tell of it tomorrow.

[pacanis]

I found some cabbage in the fridge and just happened to have a pan on the stove with bacon grease in it so I did have something green last night.

 

[letscook]

A big tomato from the garden slice along with a slice of Vidalia onion, mayo between 2 slices of homemade bread along with some fresh picked cucumbers with a big glass of raspberry ice tea
