What's for Dinner ~ Saturday ~ December 7th

NJCher (15,962 posts)    Sat Dec 7, 2013, 01:28 PM

1. Cod with tomato sauce

And a big salad.

A weekend project is making a vegetarian "meatloaf" out of mushrooms, nuts, and vegetables. This again is a recipe from my Meatloaf Bakery cookbook. This is going to be very time-consuming, so I'm doing it in little stretches.
 
Mollie Katzen has a terrific recipe for it, too, in her new book Heart of the Plate. I'll prob'ly try both recipes, but not in one weekend.
 
Not that you asked, but in the spirit of avoiding going out in the cold to do yard work, I'll say that Mollie is my most favoritist cookbook author ever in the whole wide world.

8. Shark came out great. Seared well and tender, just done. Rice, not so much.

I don't do rice well, for some reason. Even after 2 years sharing a home w/ Chinese in-laws. Mine comes out mushy. One of my favorite standard Chinese breakfasts - mushy rice, think Asian oatmeal - but not really a dinner rice.

5. Juicing night.

I'm playing with my Breville compact juicer. Taste testing pure juices and mixtures.
 
Fun!

7. Chiles Rellenos and rice

it is tasty, it is vegetarian and yes, cleaning them and deveining them takes a while.
 
Thanks Bobby Flay for teaching me how to do it without a gas stove though... oven on broil.

Found one place that sells it for almost 30.00.lb.

Selfish people,could easily have had hamburg and donated the rest to poor Stewie to pay his bills or Fizzy for her moms dentures.
She/it probably couldn`t even eat Shark if it was given to her.  

[Skul]

Hamburger, chips and a cold beer.. I win.

Great minds... had a hankering for that this morning minus the beer (not a drinker)

[diesel driver]

Marinated pork ribs, mashed taters, and corn.  

Pecan pie for dessert.

[Bad Dog]

Not really surprised fizzy ordered expensive takeout whilst simultaneously begging on wish-a-do-do for her mom's choppers.

I had a bowl of chili (or chili con carne, as a pretentious DUmmy might call it), green beans and carrots, and fish and chips.  Interestingly, the chips in fish and chips are actually french fries but they call them chips in merry olde England, though I'm sure that will come as no surprise to any pretentious world citizen lurking DUmmies.

One of my favorites- fish and chips.

Poker chips, that is!

     DUmmies always, always play the "me too" or the one-up game. Instead of saying they had a hot dog bun filled with peanut butter, or a two-day old slice of pizza, they have to concoct these wonderful
meals that are selected so we get a glimpse into their sophisticated, gilded lives. Thresher shark? If it was shark, which it well could have been, why is the 'thresher' necessary?

An old German staple, pork sausage and potatoes.

I cut 1 pound of Johnsonville Brats into small pieces and fry. Remove from cast iron skillet leaving the grease. Then cut two baking potatoes into 1" cubes, boil 'til almost tender, and fry in the grease in the skillet 'til brown. Dump in the sausage, and simmer 'til all is hot. Done!

Filling, hearty, and delicious.

The "meatloafs" my cats push out into their litter pans are more appetizing than this.

Next time, boil them taters in kraut. A little mustard with the sausage. I think you'll be amazed.

Food of the Gods.

My simple sausage'n'kraut recipe is 1 can sauerkraut drained, 1 can beer, and 2 pounds kielbasa, or any good smoked sausage, cut into bite sized slices. Dump it all in a crock pot on low and forget it for about 4 hours. Another good lazy winter recipe.

I don't know but the DUmmies sure claim to eat high on the hog off our tax(EBT) dollars.

Throwing quotation marks around anything intended for human consumption causes whatever it is you're quoting to cease to be food, as I shall demonstrate:


Who would like a "burger"?

Would you guys like to have some nice "chocolate milk"?

Hey guys!  Come try my "sausage"! 

Who is hungry for some "yogurt"?

Indeed! I always snicker when I see restaurants put "fresh" in quotes.... as in "Fresh" Salmon grilled with blah blah....

So...it's ALMOST fresh? Kind of fresh?  Pretend fresh?

When they ask me in a restaurant how I want my steak cooked I tell them bleeding and mooing.

I can agree.

What did I have for dinner Saturday night?  Venison kebobs at deer camp.  Tasted awesome.

[Karin]

Oh my God, that meatloaf from page one looks perfectly dreadful.  No matter how much they tried to tart it up with an artful drizzle of tomatoes.  Don't get me started again how vegan food makes me nauseated!  It's the worst when they try to make vegetation look like "meat." 

On Saturday, I went to a fun Christmas party.  I had beef tips on rice, some seafood pasta, salad, vegetables, white wine.  Good times.

I'm going to make that for supper tonight, with mashed potatoes and leftover strawberry cheesecake.

If I had rowed this quote over from the DUmp instead of quoting the esteemed Big Dog, you can bet your last pair of socks that the strawberry cheescake would be an ingredient in the mashed potatoes rather than a separate dessert.

[Skul]

Pie.
3.14159 slices of it, to be exact.

[vesta111]

Made this DISH Last night,  Long tine since I had eaten it .   After a night in the refrigerator [not me the dish]        I gave it a try, darn it tasted good cold.

I cooked up potatoes and carrots to go with the cold meat and sauerkraut.

The contrast between  the Kielbasa  and the kraut  cold and the hot vegetables was delicious.

Try this cold dish on a roll, a hotdog bun with stone ground mustard----

The thresher is necessary because its awesome.  Almost as good as mako.
