Oh my.

The pickings in the cooking and baking forum are getting sparser and sparser, but what's a Sunday in the DUmpster without at least one cooking and baking campfire?

What's for Dinner ~ Sunday May 6th

Bill actually has a couple of nights off in a row, so I'll actually be having a normal dinner for a change! I don't usually feel like cooking for myself, so I have been just nibbling since Bill has been working nights for the past month or so...

Tonight.... the plan is his Steak and Guinness pie, with a potato and cheese crust. Y***y.

What's for dinner where you are?

franksolich went to town and picked up a slice of le pepperoni et de fromage sur le pain at the convenience store for his Sunday repast.

2. I'm throwing a turkey in the oven, and that's it!

We get sunshine for the first time in a week today, and I refuse to spend it inside cooking.

3. Chicken & Dumplings.

Big pot of comfort food that I can dip into for several days this week and that Mr. Pup can feed himself out of when I am out at my Tuesday evening meeting.

Just finished a spinach-mushroom-onion omelette with whole grain toast and link pork sausage for breakfast. Not quite ramped up to start cooking again already.

Sliced roast beef w/horseradish, cheeses, baguette, potato salad, strawberries, grapes, cantaloupe, wine cooler...

A pizza sub, the $5.00 footlong special for the month of May at Subway along with a bag of chips and a Cherry Coke while waiting for a lube job at the Walmart automotive center.

Burgers and dogs on the grill. Baked taters and corn on the cob with lots of butter. Washed down with copious amounts of Michelob lite. Yum!!   :drool:

I don't understand who eats squid.  It tastes like nothing, the appearance is revolting, and the texture is awful.  I tried to eat mussels once, just couldn't do it.

  That sounds great, skip the wine cooler, have a glass of something real.

Fried clams aren't bad.

Why would anyone waste their time with mussels when scallops are so much tastier?

DUmpmonkeys, most of whom are dining off the generosity of the taxpayers, really struggle to describe their imaginary menus without dropping in at least one foreign word.

Even poor, confused, and addled grasswipe, who dines from dumpsters in the alleyways of a Portland suburb, googles Julia Child to get words for her cooking posts. (I'm shocked she missed this thread.)

Poor, stupid Beth, hunched up over a propane stove in her little humpbacked camper:

11. Finally making my birria today
and the first thing I did was burn the chiles that were supposed to be toasting, and got hot chile oil all over my hands and mouth. lol
 
 

My fave in this thread is DUmmy pinto, scourge of nadin, who admits to serving, "(leftover shit from the refrigerator), baguette, (more leftover shit from the refrigerator)".

Tonight, I dine on Les restes du poulet avec sauce italienne et du fromage mozzarella.

Beth's kitchen disasters are entertaining.  She's made pancakes that her German Shepherds wouldn't eat, dough that refused to rise, and now she's sustaining injuries.  She's more fun in the Cooking & Baking section.  lol
