I'm not sure yet. Waiting for hub and DD to get home. Choices are chicken, pork, steak, pasta and sauce. Unless someone wants to order take out.
It's going to be a leftovers night for us, or what we call in Hawaii,
Mixed Plate.
Broiled Flank Steak (leftover)
Baked Chicken Thighs (leftover)
TJ's Hatch Chile Mac&Cheese
sauteed Zucchini with loads of garlic (leftover)
Dessert will be Orange Jell-o with canned Mandarin orange segments, topped with Redi-Wip
I didn't realize "mixed plate" meant leftovers in Hawaiian, K-girl! So when we ordered it in restaurants on the islands, we were getting leftovers? Who knew?
dawg, "Mixed Plate" in Hawaii is more of a figure of speech I suppose.
A mish-mash, a little of this and a little of that. In a restaurant or take-out joint, you would have a choice of say any 2, or 3 or even 4 main dishes and then the ever present rice, mac salad or tossed green.
At someone's home its a different story though... at home if say you only had some leftovers of say 1 serving of chicken, 1 serving of fish and maybe 2 servings of hamburger steak and you're trying to feed 6 people (or more) you would serve just a little of each main to each family member along with sides... ergo, a Mixed Plate
German here, too - although I didn't cook it. I went to a little local restaurant and this was one of the specials: Hasenpfeffer (rabbit), spaetzle, and their homemade sauerkraut. I don't eat carbs, but did have a few bites of the spaetzle.
It was made even more tempting by the fact that it was served with melted Swiss cheese over the top. This was the way my grandmother always served it. I don't think I've ever had it that way in a restaurant, but it took me right back to my childhood.That looks just wonderful Steve! It would be a shame to not have had a few bites of the Spaetzle. How I miss it.
Our German Stew would have been perfect with it
That looks and sounds like a fabulous dinner GG.
You've inspired me to make Chicken Cacciatore today.
