Saturday Night Dinner Thread - 12/7/2024

[Steve Kroll]

Tonight I combined a couple of my Hungryroot dinners into a single meal and made Paneer Tikka Masala with Chickpeas and Cauliflower. Seems like I am always accumulating packages of brown rice and quinoa, so that's what I served it on.

^ that looks really nice. I love using chickpeas and cauliflower in subcontinental cooking.

I've been wanting to eat this dish for awhile now... Chicken Chow Mein

 

[Jade Emperor]

Yay, hurrah for the melamine plates. I bought a set, just to be “authentic”
Chow Mein is one of those quaint things that western restaurants offer. Try asking for chow mein in Bangkok and expect at least a confused look at best, or a rolling eyed sigh.
That looks like it would be a nice meal

Cheese fondue (bread, yellow cauliflower, and broccoli dippers).

Rainy outside, and my car is clean. Decided on one of my homemade mini pizzas. My huge basil plant is hurting, but still has plenty of fresh, supple leaves. I need to use them fast.

Just sauce, whole milk mozzarella and fresh basil on this one. Low rent Margherita pizza.

Your basic burger night.

I had breakfast for supper. A couple of eggs, bacon, greens (upland cress and some wilty lettuce), garlic, and wholewheat toast. Very little salt added to the eggs. I miscalculated on the quantity of greens. It would have been better with more.

Mushroom Barley Soup. Picture soon.

 

[caseydog]

Well, it's 1AM, and my mom woke me up just as I fell asleep, and I spent the last 20 minutes telling her where she is, who I am, and that there are people there to take care of her. The "Who are you?" is always a bit weird when she calls me, and addresses me by my name, but dementia is a thing you just have to learn to deal with.

I couldn't go back to sleep, and was hungry, so had some sliced steak, with Swiss cheese and Cajun mustard on a toasted roll. Will that help? Probably not. Protein and carbs? The only thing that might help is the cheese... dairy.

Mushroom Barley soup.
I tip my hat to food photographers. Yes, I know they have a lot of cheat tricks but none were obviously used here! LOL. Getting the just the right amount of mushrooms on top was nigh on impossible.

Tovala minestrone with Italian sausage.

I used to pay attention to this, but it slipped right under my radar this year.
