Wow - almost 2 PM and no dinner thread yet. I'll start.....

We are having fried haddock left over from Christmas Eve dinner, green and yellow beans, carrots, and scalloped potatoes. I may have a bowl of clam chowder to start off.

What is everyone else having?
 
I just got back from the town grocer. I picked up some of their fried chicken and had to stop myself from eating all eight pieces it was so good. I didn't want to spoil my appetite for prime rib tonight. The small roast is already sitting on the counter losing it's chill.
 
Christmas Eve leftovers here too!

I have a ball of dough left from Christmas Eve along with enough odds and ends to make a small pizza. A rather dilapidated bag salad will serve as a side.

Today will be the reverse of yesterday. I'll have some leftover chicken in a quesadilla and SO will have leftover rib roast.
 
I have no idea what we will do for supper. I seem to have my appetite back. Stirling is still asleep, so I don't know how his appetite is doing. Yesterday soda crackers made him vomit, so have to be careful.
 
My neighbour made some very lean turkey soup and is giving me some for my dinner and she made a full plate of turkey dinner for TB.

This is so awesome having people help us with food. Usually I am the one arranging it for others. I feel so blessed.
 
Costco rotisserie chicken, egg noodles with lots of butter and edamame with lots of butter. I like butter. (grin)

Two pieces of See's chocolate for dessert.
 
Backstrap (venison stk) & pierogies

hmmm, maybe if you turned the suction cup thingies over... :ermm:
:LOL:

It looks great, but I'd have to substitute out the octopus. That is one fishy I have never been attracted to. Maybe shrimp or something else on the firm side :yum:
 
Poutine (leftover turkey, turkey gravy, curds, peas and carrots). Blanched the potatoes,drained the potatoes, coated them with a bit of flour and cornstarch, chilpolte, deep fried for 10 minutes until crispy and layered in a bowl.

Please don't take offense, but that thing is really disgusting looking! LOL But at least it doesn't have shells to be removed.
 
We had French Canadian pea soup again. Stirling isn't tolerating much food, so, since this worked well yesterday, we did it again. It's also easy. Still tasty, but I could get tired of this.

Oh I love that stuff. Haven't had it in years. Home made with bits of ham in it???
 
We did a "fair food" exchange today, trading what we each have too much of in our refrigerators. Following this, we went to the store to buy "ju$t a few item$" to round out stocking up the cupboards. Then we went to a neighborhood Chinese buffet for no reason.

Who did you do that with, Whisk? That sounds like a nice idea for a close community.
