primitives discuss what's for supper tonight

Oh my.

One can tell how provincial, how small-worldish, the primitives are, using "dinner" as the name for the evening meal, when most of the world calls the evening meal "supper" and the noon meal "dinner."

What's for dinner? ~ Friday the 16th edition!

Sorry I didn't get this posted earlier.

I'm one of the people who couldn't see DU3 earlier, but it did give me a chance to rummage through the archives!

I'm on my own tonight, and not sure what I'll do for dinner yet, so put me in the undecided column. 


What's for dinner where you are?

Nobody could see DU3 earlier, Lu.

1. Going to a movie, so something quick - Brussels Sprouts sauteed with toasted almonds in brown butter over quinoa.

Going to see the Clooney movie The Descendents.

Hmmm.

franksolich is going to have ragout de veau au bouillon de poulet, cotelletes de porc et pommes de terre, and crevettes et oeufs a la Florentine this evening, and then is going to sit down and read a book, a biography of the television star Andy Kaufman.

2. Tortilla soup.

A vegetarian version. I made some vegetable stock recently, and needed the room in my freezer. I also pulled out some Roman beans and chickpeas I had frozen. I also have a zucchini and some "Mexican blend" cheese to go in it, as well as a couple of cans of tomatoes with Hatch Green chilis. Not sure what else I'll add to it. Other than tortillas, that is.

3. Angel hair with marinara ....

a garlic bread and roasted veg's.

Well, one has to admit "veg" sounds a Hell of a lot less baby-talk than "v****e."

5. Creamy tomato and veggie soup. Maybe pick up some bread on the way home to go with it.

I made a big batch last weekend. It was a bit of an experiment. It turned out well. I had some fat free half and half that I had used in another recipe and decided to try and make a fat free creamy tomato soup. I started with a big can of crushed tomatoes (6 lb) and vegetable stock. I added onions, peppers, baby bellas, corn, and spices. I then thickened it by adding a couple small cans of tomato paste, fat free half and half, and some corn starch. I also added a little honey to balance out the tomato flavor. I think this recipe may replace my normal tomato and v****e soup.

That hippywife language is a pretty clear indicator that coach is a bigshot in the cooking group at the new DUmp.

The hostess with the mostest.

They're so sophisticated, so erudite, so culinary, they use a long French name for Cheez Whiz.

[JohnnyReb]

I thought the poor and exploited working class could only afford moldy bread?

Someone is over paying the DUmmies.

Well, instead of crevettes et oeufs a la Florentine, I made oeufs farcis ser lit de broccoli instead, as it was somewhat less complicated, and I had all the ingredients handy without having to run to town for any I didn't have.

Want to know what I had tonight DUmbasses?
A 2011 version of a frozen TV dinner,it was quick and didn`t taste bad.
Tomorrow I am going to thaw some frozen sauce I made from tomatoes out of the garden,brown up some venison sausage and with normal ingredients make some lasagna that will last me a week or so.

Why do they always try to sound like they are eating at a fancy restaurant?

That's it?  No wonder vegetarians are so boring.

"I'm having brussel sprouts for dinner!"

"What else?"

"Nothing!  It's healthy!"

I admit.

I had to nadin it.

Quinoa (play /ˈkiːnwɑː/ or /kɨˈnoʊ.ə/, Spanish: quinua, from Quechua: kinwa), a species of goosefoot (Chenopodium), is a grain-like crop grown primarily for its edible seeds. It is a pseudocereal rather than a true cereal, or grain, as it is not a member of the grass family. As a chenopod, quinoa is closely related to species such as beets, spinach, and tumbleweeds.

Broiled venison backstrap with steak fries, cole slaw, and beer.
I don't know what that is in French.

[Chris_]

I Nadined it and I still have no idea what the hell it is.  I didn't go looking far enough to find anyone that had bothered to eat it, so I still have no idea what it might taste like.

For breakfast, I plan to dine on Pouding au poulet a la mode de Sud; it's a southern dish.

[BEG]

I will admit that I have no idea what quinoa is. What does that say about me?

It says you're normal.

[IassaFTots]

It says you're normal.

I only know what it is from my stupid healthy cookbooks.  It is all the chi-chi foo-foo craze here, served at a Whole Foods near you.  I don't eat stuff I can't pronounce.

With that being said, it is supposed to be good for you, more fiber than couscous.   

[MoshMasterD]

Radical vegans are one of the worst types at the DUmp.

[BEG]

Yeah, I eat Cap'n Crunch (with crunch berries...and 2% milk).

No soy, almond or that blue skim milk for me either. 

[Chris_]

I like skim milk.  And it's not blue.

I don't use it for cooking.

[Traveshamockery]

..........and what's the deal with fat-free half and half?  What's the point?  That sounds horrible to me.  I use the real stuff.

Exactly, I don't do fat free anything. Except for Blue Bell light vanilla ice cream. It is delicious. Blue Bell ice cream was worth coming back to Texas all on it's own. I couldn't believe that CA didn't have it. I suffered dearly those two years of hell on earth.

I do like Blue Bell ice cream.  Birthday cake or wedding cake.  Yummy!

[Ballygrl]

We just had frozen pizza.

[Ballygrl]

2% milk is actually pretty good, I don't like skim milk though.

[Chris_]

I like skim because I can drink it like water in the summer when it's 100 degrees outside.  It does a better job of rehydrating after spending a day outside.  It makes me feel good.

I think I just threw up a little...
