I'm planning on cooking up some porterhouse steaks and serving them with salad, potatoes (twice-baked if my boyfriend likes them, mashed if he doesn't), and maybe garlic bread. Dessert will probably be dark chocolate fudge.

I need a recipe for most things (a personal quirk that my boyfriend finds amusing), but I've only bought a few cookbooks. The rest are the ones I've inherited, gifts from family, and a three-ring binder I use for family recipes and things I've found online that we liked.

I'll probably just do burgers--boyfriend is going out with his buddies and I think my sewing circle gets together tonight.

The Oxford History of Christian Worship... Yeah, I'm one of those people who reads history books for fun.

We have enough leftovers that I've decided we're having that--between Saturday's chili and the pizza I brought home from my aunt's house, there's plenty that needs to be eaten.

My mom died in 2004 and, as odd as it must sound, some of my best memories of her are of lumpy mashed potatoes and chocolate chip cookies. I was so excited when I figured out her secret to the cookies and now when I make them, sometimes I forget to leave some for others to have! :pig: I wish I...

I'm home alone for supper tonight, so I'm planning on pasta (either penne or spaghetti depending on what I find) with sauce from a jar. Now I'm going to have to find that meatloaf recipe--maybe I can get my boyfriend to eat it again if I try something different!

My car is nothing special (it's a 1999 Chevy Prizm), but I love it anyway. It's reliable, it hasn't needed major repairs in the nearly five years I've had it, and the gas mileage is great. It's also underpowered enough that I can't get into much trouble with it. :wink:

Steaks (broiled because it's too cold to grill), garlic bread, corn, and probably another side dish that I'll figure out later. After a not-so-good meal last night and several nights before that of me not feeling well enough to cook, I really wanted to do something I know I can do well.

Before this thread, I thought there wasn't such a thing as bad pizza! :sick: The worst pizzas I've had were still semi-edible, but I can't decide whether the worst was a particular brand of the frozen stuff or the pizza they served in the dining halls at my university. I think I've just gotten...

I've never had perogies, but that sounds delicious! I'm doing a sort of build your own taco salad. All I have to do is cook up the ground beef with taco seasoning, heat up refried beans, and put out tortilla chips and some toppings--I love an easy meal. :smile:

Chicken baked in barbecue sauce, mashed potatoes and corn on the side, and chocolate chip cookies for dessert.

For me, home economics was required (for girls and boys) in middle school and optional in high school (I graduated from high school in 2001--even though my experience is relatively recent, I wouldn't be surprised if things have changed since then). The required middle school class included very...

Tonight seems like a good night for lasagna, so that's what I plan on making. I'll probably cut up the rest of the bread I made yesterday to go with it.

I tried the birthday cake-flavored ice cream at my boyfriend's brother's birthday party a couple of months ago--it's good stuff! :smile: The male half has to work tomorrow, so we're staying in and I fried some chicken for supper.

I'm making steak tips and gravy and serving it over egg noodles, probably with corn or salad on the side. Our Christmas leftovers are entirely in dessert form, so we'll keep working on those for our dessert.

CherryRed, I love the shirt! :smile: I got a 12" skillet with a lid, a George Foreman grill, a stand mixer, a jewelry box (my boyfriend admitted last night that he was thinking about putting a ring in there and proposing that way, but he didn't), a video game, and plenty of candy from my...

I've never used a cookie press, so I can't help with that... I'm only making a couple of different kinds of cookies this year, two that my mom used to make and one that my boyfriend taught me to do: Mint chocolate chip cookies rolled in colored sugar Chocolate thumbprint cookies Boiled...

I'm tired from candy making and baking all day, so my boyfriend is taking me out for supper. :biggrin: I should have gotten more done before today--with four families to see for Christmas, our festivities begin tomorrow--but what's done is done and I only have one or two more batches of cookies...

I've spent most of the week making candy for Christmas gifts, so tonight I'm keeping it simple and defrosting some corn chowder for myself. My boyfriend is probably going to hang out with his buddies tonight, so he said he'd take care of his own meal.

Kielbasa sandwiches on homemade bread, maybe some sort of side if I actually have anything here to make.

I've been lucky that I've managed not to cut myself too much, but I have gotten some nasty cuts from a butter knife. It was a really cheap one from one of those cheap basic kitchen sets--my first cut from those things was from trying to get them out of the packaging! :angry: Thankfully we've...

I'm making chicken tacos tonight. It's something I haven't had in a long time, so I hope it comes out right!

I suppose I'm a transplanted Nutmegger--I grew up in Windham. The snow is really coming down here in RI too, so I'm staying in! I'll be cooking steaks tonight. I usually serve salad with them and if I'm motivated enough I'll make garlic bread.

There are a few shows on the Food Network that I enjoy, but I think my favorite is Good Eats--maybe it's just my inner scientist, but I like how Alton Brown explains more than just how to cook things. A lot of the recipes from Food Network seem to be over my head and my budget, but it can be...
