What's in your dish, Trish? Dinner thread for Thur, 9/22

It was amazing! I'm so glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried something new.

So post your version, I'm pretty sure you didn't stick to the recipe! Did you use a whole chicken or cut-up pieces.

looks really really good!

Great looking meals! So fancy - even tube steaks and beans.


We had salad, soup, and sandwich. Standard tossed salad, Asian inspired soup, and wonderfully tasty bacon-and-lettuce club sandwiches.

When one hears of the 3 S's, you think "ehh, yeah, salad, soup 'n sandwich"

but then you see that picture and it's a WHOLE NEW BALLGAME!! looks delish, CG!

Thanks, dragn! If you were ever to ask Himself if I "just make" something, he'll tell you I make a major league production out of everything. Salads are almost never "lettuce/tomato". Soup is rarely canned. And sandwiches? I could probably write a book about them. Plain and simple, I fuss too much.

We had taco, was supposed to be Friday food but nah, I craved it.

My kitchen soul mate DH says the same about me. "How about a one-pot meal tonight?" What are you doing cramping my style?

Yes, I used thighs (it's what I had).

I kept to the recipe except I used my chicken spice rub, that has paprika in it, and it must've colored the sauce.

And yes, it was delicious! Thank you. I'm glad I tried it. I would never had cooked chicken in milk before, it sounds revolting, but the garlic and sage really bring it together.

Here's a better picture. I'm trying to get better at plating. Unfortunately, I have 5 mins at dinnertime before the food is devoured.

Heh, even one pot meals take me a long time. Fast, I ain't. Whenif I do produce a dinner quickly that isn't leftovers, Himself is amazed and confused. :sly:

I meant there's only one pot for him to wash. It still takes some time

Is it even possible to use limited kitchen tools, GG? Even when I make a "one-pot" meal, there are scads of tools, etc, that need cleaning...most of them don't play well with the dishwasher, either.

I know, that happens sometimes. I admit that last night, I used four bowls for the ingredients, which I put in the dishwasher, but otherwise, just my cutting board, knife, wooden spatula, another wooden spoon to test the pasta, and the Microplane for the cheese. Minimal!

Congrats on getting ready to move, Steve!

Thank you! I am really starting to feel stoked about the move.
