Thursday Feb 6, 2025 Dinner Thread

[Steve Kroll]

Okay I'll start. I'm still in fridge cleaning mode. Tonight I had breakfast tacos with scrambled eggs, green chiles, and cheese. There was also a sad tamale that needed to be finished up.

Anyone else eating tonight?

Kathleen made Italian style beef in the crock pot. She might have a picture of the sandwich.

I'm still deciding what to make for supper. Yeah, it's late to be starting to make supper, but I got distracted and I got a phone call that I had to deal with.

We had big servings of stir fried (steamed) veggies for lunch. Dinner was meal sized salads. The last of the blackbean brownies.

It is 8-ish PM, and I'm feeling a bit peckish. I have some good flour tortillas, and eggs, and salsa... you may have inspired my supper.

I had one of my Stouffer's meals. I thought it was chicken and macaroni and cheese, but it was Parmesan chicken and noodles in sauce. The chicken was gross and hard as a rock, but the noodles were good.

I originally had a chicken breast in the crock pot and it came out pretty bland, so I'm saving that for sandwiches.

We had side salads, spaghetti, garlic bread, and double fudge brownies.

We had meatloaf, baked potato and green beans.

Had a coffee and a piece of bread and butter when I got up. I was hungry after the gym and errands. So around 3pm I had this soup. Carrots, sweet pepper, celery, spinach chiffonade, mushrooms are all extra's. That's a table/soup spoon in a serving bowl. Was surprised I ate the whole thing.
Knew I wouldn't eat supper, just nuked an English muffin with a bit of Monterey Jack Cheese around 7pm. - I'm good.
Very yummy.

I was making chicken stock and I had a cooked chicken thigh. I also found that I was craving egg. So, I made some chicken soup with the chicken stock, some veggie stock from the fridge, shredded chicken thigh, carrots, peas, and kale from the freezer, celery, some Better Than Bouillon organic roasted chicken base, and some already cooked brown basmati rice. I poached a duck egg in the soup and had the soup with toasted rugbrød with sunflower seeds (Danish style, heavy rye bread).

Can you see a difference in the shells?
Compared to chicken eggs?
Do they seem sort of translucent?
Is there a tinge to the colour of the shell? Sort of greenish or blue? Not quite white?

We had fried chicken from the grocery deli, as well as coleslaw and potato salad.

Cheese ravioli par-boiled and baked in Arrabbiata sauce with pan fried Italian sausage. Sliced cucumbers and tomato plate. Day old sourdough bread slices broiled to GBD with garlic and butter.

We eat with our eyes first. Here is mine, but your sandwich was prettier.

We were both a bit exhausted from the hospital visit, so it was a light meal tonight.

Bacon and Vegetable Quiche with Chips

Forgot to mention:
MrJade’s brother is still bunking with us, and he is eating us out of house and home. His portion was the entire plate, with another for his chips!

I just went downstairs to look at them again. D'oh! I made tea and forgot to look at them. They are white, but yes, there is often a tinge of colour to the shell. I never noticed if the shells are translucent, but they are certainly a lot thicker.

 

[dragnlaw]

Thanks taxy, LOL no I guess you wouldn't notice any translucency as you don't have whole empty shells! LOL.
I have two favourite carved ones, both have a tinge of green and "seem" almost translucent.
Sometimes I think they are more fragile and other times, like you, much thicker/heavier... although not like a goose egg!

Started a new thread on the duck eggs...
