What Should I Make For Dinner Tonight?

C'mon, give me some ideas! ;-)

7. Recipe

You'll need French fries, beef gravy and cheese curds (if you cannot get cheese curds you can buy string cheese and cut it up into pellets about one centimeter in length).

First prepare the cheese. Then heat up a pot of gravy. Make french fries and place them in a casserole dish. spread Cheese curds over the fries. Pour on hot gravy. The gravy should partially melt the cheese into a goey mess of a dish. If you want to melt it more you can pop the dish into the oven.

11. You can cook a lot for 20 bucks.

Oven bake a chicken, microwave a baked potato, open a can of green beans, and bake a Mrs Smith Cherry pie and buy ice cream. You will still have at least 5 or 6 bucks left. Use Pam or the chicken will stick to the pyrex baking dish. Leftovers too.

12. Pad Thai

Down at the market, you can buy a package of Pad Thai for about $4....and it serves 2!

It only takes about 10 minutes.

Oh, and buy a little package of shredded carrots for $1 and maybe saute a little bit of sliced up cabbage on the side.

Now I'm getting hungry. Good Luck. I'm sure it will be delicious no matter what you decide.

13. Make chili dogs.

Get Hebrew National hot dogs. Fry them in a pan with a very small amount of oil. Open a can of Wolf brand chili with no beans and heat it in a pot. Tin foil line a cookie sheet, spray it with Pam, and oven bake some frozen french fries. Microwave buns for 20 seconds. Top off the hot dogs with diced onion and mustard or whatever you like. You will have at least 10 bucks change. Caution: This meal sometimes causes gas, sbd gas.

14. Order a pizza.

15. Tagliatelle Bolognese and a sweet peach zabaglione

Pork Cubano and a Black Bean salad with rum-scented chocolate pot de creme,

Lemon-Garlic Chicken stuffed with feta and Kalimata olives and a Rasbperry sorbet,

Coquilles St. Jacques, steamed haricots verts and lemonciello mousse,

Kahlua Pork with a spicey coconut dipping sauce, coeur la creme with chunked mango, pineapple, passion fruit and papaya,

Or, - you know...something else.

16. fast for peace

18. Go to a nice chinese buffet

That shouldn't cost much more than ten bucks. Then go sit with a Starbucks and watch people.

19. If it were me, I'd grill a couple steaks with parsley butter sauce,

make some roasted rosemary potatoes and a nice little tub of sliced tomatoes with fresh Mozarella and Balsamic vinegar.

I mean, if it were me.

[slinkerwink]

23. I just did that tonight----thanks for the idea!

[Rabrrrrrr]

25. I'm here to help!
