Dinnertime....whatcha having??
« on: July 08, 2008, 05:03:23 PM »
We made a shrimp scampi over angel hair pasta, with peas on the side.  I skipped the shrimp and just had the past with garlic butter.  The boys were in  heaven.

I don't feel like cooking today.  I brought back some boudain from my grandpa's house, I'll probably just eat that for dinner.

Okay, last night I didn't cook.  Tonight I did. :)

I'm having salmon filet, marinated in soy sauce, lotsa garlic, squeeze of half a big lemon, spoonful of sugar and some pepper.  Then cooked on the George Forman (I don't have a "real" grill).

And a package of Green Giants roasted potatoes and broccoli in cheese sauce.

Something I can rustle up when I get home, probably a turkey sandwich.

Then beer.  Lots of beer.

That was cabbage water.  I can't afford cabbage.  Too fancy for my budget.

Trying another batch of paella.

half of a medium-sized onion, diced
3/4 lb sirloin steak, thinly sliced
1 lb pork loin, thinly sliced
1/2 cup white rice
1/2 link of chorizo sausage (1 link if you prefer spicy food)
1/2 lb garden/sweet peas

Sautee the onions and brown the meat in the same pan.  After the meat has been browned, add the water and rice and simmer until the rice is cooked.  Halfway through cooking the rice, add the peas to heat them.  Stir and serve.

boiled cabbage :puke:

My mom made it for New Years Day every year.  I hate it.  It stunk the kitchen up for days.  It didn't taste very good.  I was forced to eat it.  I'm satisfy my parents with a couple of chocked down bites, but I hate boiled cabbage to this day.

I'm dining in enjoyment.

I wanted to find something special to celebrate the discombobulation of the primitives, but didn't want to drive to town.

So I pulled down a package of Pillsbury Apple-Cinnamon Muffin Mix, and am making that.

The instructions say to put the mix into muffin papers, but no, one shouldn't make life more difficult than it has to be.  I just poured it into a Corningware pie-tin.
