[Calicolady]

I'm feeling better, thank you all,
So I have some catfish in the freezer that's calling my name. Also going to do Fred's fries soaked in vinegar water. I don't know what else.

[PanchoHambre]

you a day ahead of time Cal... meds getting to you?

either way this is leftover week... not sure what is getting defrosted yet

[sattie]

I have no clue... don't really care at the moment. But I will figure something out.

[smoke king]

I think a baked Ziti....something not too "labor-intensive"!!

[Ronjohn]

I don't know... My wife said she'd cook tonight. :unsure:

Simmered turkey neck with Kluski and vegetables.

[BamsBBQ]

We are having spaghetti and meat balls tonight with a salad on the side. Oh and some garlic bread of course.

[Calicolady]

Hey, I changed/corrected the date awhile ago. How come it's still popping up 2/4?

I think it takes a mod or admin to change a title...

[buckytom]

not sure yet. dw has some chicken tenders and skinless breasts in the upstairs fridge, so i'm hoping for chicken parm or maybe i'll offer to make chicken piccata.
that's if i can stay upright and not puke again. i've got a terrible bout of labrynthitis. it's like constant sea sickness. :dizzy::yuk:

i also never got around to making lentil mushroom soup, so i may give that a go in the crock pot tonight.

[chowhound]

That soups sounds very good, Jeff.

I have no idea what I'm having for dinner, but lunch is happening as I type this (with nacho chip crumbed fingers).....
Three hot dogs, boiled, on potato bread with just mustard and some leftover hot dip from Sunday

[Lefty]

I was in the mood to make a greek salad, but it just started snowing again. Not sure what to make. Maybe I will make a soup.

[Maverick2272]

We are having the Calico Beans tonight that I posted in another thread.

[homecook]

I'm thinking a couple soft-boiled eggs on dry toast. That's about all I can manage. The harvey wallbangers are going down smooth though. LOL

[Miniman]

We had sausage curry.

[suziquzie]

Not sure. I was thinking sloppy joes but I'm on overloaded with other ideas now that we went grocery shoping this morning.
I best just stick to my plan I guess.

[buckytom]

new plan. dw sounded stressed out, so i offered to pick up thai or sushi on the way home.

yum yum, little fishies in my belly.

[Fisher's Mom]

[suziquzie]

[Fisher's Mom]

hehehe... hang out with me after the school bus brings the 3rd one back.......I hear ya! My 6 year old just came in and said "Will you get mad if I tell you something?"

[suziquzie]

Good luck!!! I got 41 1/2 more minutes of zen......

[chowhound]

I hear ya! My 6 year old just came in and said "Will you get mad if I tell you something?"

Could be worse. Could be 16 year old.....

[Fisher's Mom]

Could be worse. Could be 16 year old.....OMG, that's true! And he's due home in about 15 minutes.

[BamsBBQ]

Could be worse. Could be 16 year old.....

yup agree with you there..mine turned 16 in december

[Doc]

For dinner tonight:
Baked Steak, mashed taters and gravy & broccoli.

[Fisher's Mom]

yup agree with you there..mine turned 16 in decemberMine will be 17 in May. Still, a 16 year old boy isn't half as bad a a 16 year old girl so I'm not complaining too much. Is yours a girl or a boy, Jeff?

What's baked steak, Doc? Like pan seared and then baked? How do you make the gravy?

I notice a lot of folks eating mashed potaotes with steak. I've always been a baked potato guy, but I love mashed postatoes and might want to give this a try.

I'm with you chowhound, I always bake potatoes to eat with steak. I love me some mashed potatoes and gravy with my chicken fried steak though!!!

[chowhound]

Oh yeah, Rob! I've been meaning to stock up on cubed steaks next time I make it to the store. I'm getting a good handle on chicken fried steaks.
And all this talk of mashed taters has me taking out 3 chops and setting them on my aluminum thawing plate so I can have fried chops, mashed taters and gravy tonight. Maybe I'll stick them in a ziplock and run them under water to hurry them along. Now that I know (lol)

[BamsBBQ]

yes and yes... but i was working in texas for awhile and got into baked sweet pototoes with my steaks... yummy

[joec]

Baked sweet potatoes works just as well for me as the standard spuds. I kind of mix them up.

[Lefty]

I ended up having wings and some home made hot sauce that was perfect before I made it into a salad dressing. I had some pickled jalapenos, pickled garlic and some bread from a local baker. Good finger food. Night all. :chef:

[babe]

i think a baked pork chop, using dixie fry , a vegetable, have a big choice, got groceries. baked potato. one tiny piece of lemon pound cake left.

[chowhound]

I got in my tater fix.
A little OJ to deglaze the pan plus some chicken stock made a nice gravy. My only regret is I didn't have any corn.... Or leftovers :pig:

[MexicoKaren]

Well, our dinner was a little peculiar, but very tasty. I bought some fresh, homemade chorizo from a street vendor this afternoon (I know, I know...we are risk-takers). Removed the casings, cooked it a bit, added it to some fried potatoes and onions, then cooked some fresh green beans to go with. It was awesome. There are SO many kinds of chorizo here and they are ALL good.

[PanchoHambre]

Well its use up the existing supplies right now... looked at the acct balance and:cry: so time to be thrifty and use up all the bits an pieces of meals and raw ingredients that are kicking around....and still be gourmet of course:mrgreen:

Tonight turned out to be some pork chops and sausage that had been braised in a tomato sauce over Arborio rice made with a mire-poix and chicken stock and topped with some reggiano and roamano... turned out pretty good.
