Oh my.

I could never figure out the primitives.

"Lunch" is the noon-time meal; "dinner" is the supper-time meal, excepting on holidays, when it's the noon-time meal.  I'm not aware today's any sort of holiday.

So what's for Sunday Dinner

I'm in an Asian mood. I'm going to pan fry some Panko breaded chicken ...dip in a Sambal tainted egg wash. Some whole wheat spaghetti with a sauce of Mai ploy,garlic and butter (Unbelievably good) and some stir fried broccoli and garlic. It' my once a month full o fat meal!

I'm just getting ready to get the Sunday Gravy on.

2. Weather's nice so we're grilling out...

nothing special...need to pick up some fresh v*****s. I'm in the mood for some jalapeno cheese bread and the kids want a chocolate chip poundcake so that will be the extent of my baking today.

Your meal sounds scrumptious. I've decided to do stir fry more often. Last week I realized that adding a big handful of unsalted cashews upped the protein in my stir fry without adding carbs.

Tonight? Corned beef, cauliflower mash with a bit of dill and grainy mustard in it, and a slaw made with savoy cabbage, bits of red onion, diced pear, chopped toasted walnuts and dressing of rice wine vinegar, grapefruit juice and bit of oil. Fusion is the best description of the meal. Ha!

Busy busy day today, dedicated to the maintenance and care of the Border Collie. Bath, home treatment of hot spots, and a long long walk. That and it's Frank Sinatra afternoon on the local jazz radio.

Not sure how I'll do it, I'll give it the sniff test to see what kind of flavoring it might need.

Rice pilaf, salad.

franksolich lunched on scrambled eggs, hash browns, and whole wheat toast.

We all slept late and had "breakfast" around noon. Sausage patties, "link sausage", bacon, fried eggs, toast and Grands biscuits. We're just plain ol' crazy about breakfast meat.

Hell, I'd eat bacon for dessert if I could.

No offense intended to anyone but sounds like glop for the compost pile to me.

Who or what the hell is Sambal ?

Sorry, I'm not a hippie.

on edit:

now that I think about it, what the Hell is egg wash ?

I'm still wondering what "Sunday Gravy" is.

Sambal is Sambal Oelek.  It is an Asian Red Chili Paste.

Well Frank at my grandparents farm you had breakfast at 5am, dinner at noon, and supper at 6pm. Breakfast and dinner were the big meals. By the time 6pm came around you were too tired to eat much.

I've never seen the word "tainted" used in a positive context, especially regarding food. I always thought it meant rotten or poisoned.

Yeah, that is pretty weird.

[crockspot]

The OP's meal sounds disgusting. It's weird, but ever since my heart troubles surfaced, greasy and/or fatty foods just don't appeal to me at all. Some sort of natural defense mechanism I guess.

[Lord Undies]

It wasn't "The Lord's Lunch" and the movie wasn't "Guess Who's Coming To Supper".  We may never get together on this thing.

[JLO]

I'm still wondering what "Sunday Gravy" is.

It's real Italian Marinara sauce to the rest of us non-Italians.

[shadeaux]

LOL !!

Why can't they just have a simple barbeque with chicken, sausage, pork loin, hamburger patties, rice dressing, corn on the cob and some yams like we did.   

By the time we eat all of that I"ll be empress of everything too, including a big butt and clogged arteries.

Yum Yum.

You gonna show us the butt with before and after pics?

That makes sense.  Thanks.

Is that what you want ?  Really really want ?

Once again, Dandi stole my post in regards to the use of the word "tainted."  Empress is just using the word wrong, is all, mistakenly thinking it makes her sound like a writer for Bon Appetit.  

Egg wash is simply eggs beaten up with a little water or milk.  

Grasswire's salad sounds utterly disgusting:  

slaw made with savoy cabbage, bits of red onion, diced pear, chopped toasted walnuts and dressing of rice wine vinegar, grapefruit juice and bit of oil.

 Waaaaay too sour to be at all pleasant.  She's combining two sours and two bitters, and that just won't work.  

I can't stand "weird" salad recipes that are usually found in places like Bon Appetit.  They're gross.  For a while, it was fashionable to toss flowers in there.  Like I'm going to eat that.  What if there's a bug lurking in there?  

[franksolich]

.....mistakenly thinking it makes her sound like a writer for Bon Appetit.

There's another silly affectation of the primitives that drives me nuts; the use of "Italian Wedding Soup" for plain old ordinary chicken noodle soup.

Well Italian Wedding soup has meatballs and spinach in it, I think?  Hawkgirl makes it, she could tell us for sure.

Italian Wedding soup is actually not chicken noodle soup at all.  It is made from broth, very small pieces of pasta (possibly orzo, but I'm not sure), meatballs, and spinach.  It is really delicious.

Oh.

I thought it was just plain old ordinary chicken noodle soup.

I myself would call it "meatballs and spinach soup."

I don't mean to bruise any sensitivities here, but the Italians are not the only people who devised creative foods.  And in fact the English got the Italians beat by a mile, when it comes to culinary delights.

Calling it "Italian Wedding Soup," as if there was something "special" about it, betrays a primitive trying desperately to be chi-chi, and flopping.

I think the name comes from the Italian name for it, Minestra Maritata, which means something like Wedding Vegetable Soup.  Though, if I'm not mistaken, the "Maritata" in the name actually refers to the "marriage" of the flavors, not to an actual wedding. It is an Italian recipe originally, so I don't have a problem giving credit where due.

CR's right. When made well, it's really good.

My grandmother used to make Sunday "dinner" after she went to church, so it was around 1pm.....then it was Sunday "supper" in the evening...usually something much lighter.

We go to Mass at 7:30....and are at IHOP (if we go) by 8:45. I don't usually make Sunday dinner, at any time. Sunday tends to be a snacking day around here.
