I am starving! What's for dinner?
I just took 3 nice big sweet potatoes out of the oven and waiting on the quiche to finish. Broccoli, shrooms, onions, feta and cheddar. I wanted to throw in some chopped grape tomatoes and artichokes, but Bill wanted it just the way it is.

So far all day I've had a banana, a clementine, a mini York peppermint patty and for breakfast the little bit of leftover baked apple with baby biscuit on top.

Ten or so more minutes until dinner. I think I'll make it. :rofl:

What are you having tonight folks? :hi:

1. chicken thighs with a jarred curry sauce made with coconut milk
Too lazy to make a sauce from scratch. Jasmine rice, and zucchini some way. Am feeling exasperated today for a lot of different reasons.

Here's the good news: the tips of tulip leaves are visible in the dirt! Spring is on the way.

5. you are lucky with your tulips, we just got 7 inches of snow
yesterday morning, and everything is way buried...

I bought a tulip plant last weekend at the store, just to see more color and hints of spring, and am waiting on my forced bulbs.

7. You are about
the least lazy person in the kitchen that I know. We all take short cuts sometimes.

Sorry you are having a bad day, sweetie. Hope it all gets better really soon. :hug:

2. That sounds yummy!
We're having honey glazed pork tenderloin with little red potatoes tossed with rosemary and bacon.

Just be sure you get at least 1200 calories a day, LOL! Don't want you passing out on us!

Won't be passing out any time soon. LOL I inhaled, almost literally, a quarter of the quiche and a big sweet potato. :rofl:

12. Ground beef browned with garlic and onion rolled up in
corn tortillas topped with a sauce I made from Pace Picante and a mix of shredded cheese. Good, but not cheesy enough. And I need to find a way to keep my tortillas from breaking up. I think there were too many in the pan and there was not enough sauce to keep them moist.

4. we've noticed that we can't stop eating lately- and we
Edited on Sat Jan-22-11 07:08 PM by tigereye
thought we were over the Christmas/holiday "binge." I think it's all the cold and early darkness, actually.


I think left-overs- we still have some left-over soup, veggie stir-fry with artichokes, garbanzos and spinach linguine, and a nice egg and ham sandwich on ciabatta from yesterday's lunch out. We also had spinach pies for lunch today from a great Middle Eastern shop near the Uni.

10. It's really difficult
not to eat a lot this time of year. The cold and dark is probably right. :hi:

11. Yum!
I like to take leftover steak and cut it into small strips, throw it in the skillet with butter, garlic, onions, and shrooms. Bill loves it!

And rice pudding? Yaaaa! :9

23. Manchurian baby corn
It's just like gobi manchurian, but with baby corn instead of cauliflower, which is just like General Tso's Chicken, but with cauliflower instead of chicken.

(breaded, deep-fried baby corn in a soy/mirin/onion/ginger/garlic/serrano pepper sauce. With green onions. On rice)
