Dinner, Tuesday April 8th

[Barb L.]

Tonight will be making chicken taco's, refried beans w,cheese and salad.

 

[GotGarlic]

DH is going to a conference out of town, so it's just me tonight. I have some spaghetti meat sauce thawing in the fridge and some leftover linguine from lunch, and I'll make a salad and some garlic bread. Brownie-loaded chocolate ice cream for dessert.

 

[suziquzie]

I'm not sure yet, but I haven't actually "cooked" in a few days and I think I would like to today. Cold and yucky out, maybe some corn chowder?

 

[Constance]

We're having pan-grilled salmon and spinach salad.

 

[DaveSoMD]

French onion chuck roast and Bilby's Shreadded Sprouts. Apple pie if I get home from work early enough.

 

[Robo410]

last night was lamb soup (home made stock,tomatoes barley carrots escarole marjoram), and biscuits.

tonight will be pan fried cod (in cracker meal), couscous peas and onions a simple 15 min meal.

 

[Chef Mark]

good ol' "bfast. supper"-grits and eggs & 'cat-head' biscuits w/sausage and syrup

 

[kitchenelf]

I'm having a wine tasting for dinner I just love my job!!

 

[bethzaring]

gonna be something with the rest of the herbed bread I have, maybe cubed and saute'd?, and the quart of sweet corn thawing in the fridge, and probably some eggs and some milk....sounds like a casserole to put in the oven when the roll dough is ready to bake..

 

[buckytom]

i have some beef tenderloin chunks that have been defrosting for a bit; not sure if they're still good. same goes for about a pound of thin flounder strips.

trying to think of the best use for both in one dish.

but, if i have to chuck the fish, i'm thinking of making goulash.
if i have to chuck the beef, then i'll make them into fish "fingers", and then maybe into flounder parm. not sure if that would work.

 

[Chef Mark]

buckytom-ever try blackened flounder-quick easy and good...I'm not good at mixing beef and fish-whatever you come up with I'm sure it will be good...

 

[buckytom]

thanks mark. about the only thing that i can think of for fish and beef is a stir fry, but flounder doesn't lend itself to the violence of a wok.

hmmm, i may try the blackened flounder. dw likes blackened fish. i was going to reseason my cast iron pans tonight, so that may be the way go. thanks for the suggestion.

can you suggest a spice combo that blackens well?

 

[sattie]

Dinner on Tuesday night's usually consists of leftovers or quickie meals. By the time I get home from work, change clothes, walk to my PT class, then take another exercise class, then walk home.... the night is toast! So yea, I will probably eat toast! LOL! Tomorrow night's dinner will be much more exciting!

 

[SizzlininIN]

Youngest has a Cub Scout meeting and middle son has a Baseball game so it something simple tonight.
I thawed out some frozen shredded BBQ I'd made awhile back. So well be having BBQ sandwiches and tater totes.

 

[pdswife]

I'm going to make the hot and sour I
never got around to making last night.

 

[redkitty]

Tonight is ratatouille with stir fry tofu.

Hey, BT. Try some paprika, thyme, cayenne, black pepper and garlic powder. HTH.

 

[buckytom]

thanks, gg. i hadn't thought of the thyme.

darn, now i've got that song in my head "oh-wee oh-wee oh, girl i wanna show ya!"
