Am I invited Bolas? :-D sounds great!
Not sure what we're having yet...

 

[Vanilla Bean]

Mark is having chicken pot pie made from last night's leftovers. I'm not sure what I'm having yet.

 

[Aunt Bea]

It is cold and snowy here so I borrowed a bone from the neighbors dog and made some ham soup with butter beans.

I need to get the bone back before he wakes up!

 

[Fabiabi]

No xmas food, i'm done. Will probably make some over the top spicy noodles for my meal this evening

 

[Hammster]

I have a 3.3 lb turkey breast that will be seasoned with whole sage leaves and butter under the skin, s/p on the skin and into the oven to roast. Will be served with some roasted garnet yams and veg tbd. Perhaps a simple saute of bell pepper, corn and carrot. I'll heat up some leftover gravy to serve with the yams and turkey.

 

[Andy M.]

My younger daughter is coming this morning so we can make cheese turnovers like my mom used to make. That'll be our dinner as well with some egg and lemon soup.

 

[Katie H]

I just browned a nice big bone-in piece of pork and put it in the crock-pot with chopped onions, garlic and sliced fresh mushrooms, along with some herbs. Have some russet potatoes I'll do something with and will cook up some creamed spinach for another side. Christmas cookies, of course, for dessert.

 

[Littlechef]

Andy - Have fun in the kitchen with your daughter. There's nothing better.

It's cold today, but at least the sun is out.

I have a few returns this morning and then to Trader Joe's for a few things. My kids love TJ's mandarin chicken, so that served over jasmine rice and some veggies will be our dinner tonight.

Enjoy the day

That sounds interesting, care to share?

 

[Rocklobster]

Burgers and Fries.....One of the last gorges before New Years.

 

[lady celestial]

We've had slices of home cooked ham, a fresh tomato, potato wedges done in goose fat and a fried egg.

 

[DebLynn]

Burgers here too- with a fried egg on each and cole slaw on the side.

 

[taxlady]

A friend just phoned that he and his sweetie are at the nearby mall, shopping. So, we will probably meet up for supper. Probably Scarolies Pasta Emporium. Good Italian food.

 

[buckytom]

change of plans for us. we had so much fun bowling with the scouts tgat we stayed afterwards a bowled a coupla more games.

when we got home i got called into work, so dinner is takeout from a local steak joint. a cheeboigah and fries for the boy, grilled chicken over greek salad for dw, and grilled pork chops and mashed for me.

 

[Whiskadoodle]

Toasty Dogs with Cheese. Does the Bun Count ever match the # of dogs in a package? Well, it's an easy feast. Cole Slaw with celery seeds in a sweet sour vinegar sauce. Home made chocolate Pudding.

I cleaned house today, I mean really cleaned, not just surface. Found out I am having brunch for some out of towners on Saturday a.m. I guess I will do an egg dish and some fruit and fruit juice and DxW will bring some carrot cake muffins. Want to be just on the edge of hospitable so they go away before NY eve. No, that's not selfish or negative. I have better plans.

 

[pacanis]

Put that burger and egg on rice and cover with a little beef gravy and you've got a nice loco moco.

Spaghetti here. I've got some rope sausage thawing and will come up with some kind of sauce. All I really have is onion and garlic, but that will work. I'm always meaning to pick up some canned shrooms for times like these when I avoid the stores.

 

[babetoo]

a big salad is the choice for tonight. romaine, artichoke hearts and thinly sliced ham. a little sprinkle of sliced almonds. oh and a hard boiled egg grated on top. have a nice asian diet dressing for the top.
