What Are You Having For Dinner

[DrJenner]

Wine cheese and crackers.
chocolate.

 

[Terri9630]

Chocolate chip pancakes.

 

[Peanut]

Fried up a catfish fillet for dinner, had some potato salad and a garden salad. While I was at it I went ahead and fried up the last fillet, might have a catfish po' boy for lunch tomorrow.

 

[Patchouli]

What I rarely do but did today…dinner prepared and eaten before 6 p.m. Taco stuff. Avocado.

 

[dademoss]

A delight, Bologna and cheese on toast, and the last of the potato salad.

 

[Weedygarden]

Chicken salad

 

[Peanut]

Chocolate chip pancakes.

Been a long time since I made pancakes so I opened a new box and made some last week. They didn't cook right, something was very wrong!!! Put them in the dog bowl, made another batch (by weight, grams), same result. They were like thick lumps that had a funky white interior. Didn't brown right either...

I buy the pancake mix that only needs water added. I poured out some more mix, looked okay, smelled okay. Then I noticed the expiration date on the box. Oct of '20. Oops! guess it got lost in my pantry rotation.

So yes, pancake mix does expire!

 

[Mountain trapper]

Tonight I had some cottage cheese, yogurt, an orange and a banana.

 

[LadyLocust]

I made enchiladas and got a wee bit carried away with the heat (chili heat not oven heat.) Hubby thought they were great.

The baking powder went bad.
We don't buy the boxed mix anymore. We make our own.

@Peanut pancake mix from scratch is so much better than store bought mix. Hubs used to make a mean batch of pancakes. He’d season the batter with various spices, mix flours, use yogurt (with fruit in it) instead of milk, all kinds of variations.

 

[Peanut]

@Patchouli @Terri9630 You two have inspired me! I just dug out my Alton Brown cook book on baking! Has pancakes of course but a lot more, muffins, breads, hushpuppies, biscuits, cakes, dumplings... The best part is he gives science lite version of why it all works...

I've been putting off learning to bake, it's time.

 

[Shawn Burkett]

Beef stew and Texas toast yesterday. Saved the roast for today because it's even colder today and I want that oven going.

 

[Peanut]

Still studying the books... thinking wings for dinner.

 

[ifbbathena]

Steaklettes and greek salad

 

[Amish Heart]

Roast, mashed potatoes and brown gravy, fresh green beans, butternut squash, salad, fruit, and rolls. Peanut butter cookies and ice cream for dessert. We have company.

 

[Bacpacker]

Fried chicken on a nice salad

 

[Pearl]

Turkey breast (in the crock pot), gravy, cornbread dressing, baked beans!

 

[Tacitus]

Chili!

 

[Patchouli]

Baked chicken thighs, baked taters, green beans.

 

[joel]

Turkey & blackeye peas.

 

[Terri9630]

Fried chicken, mashed potatoes, corn and of course, a Dr Pepper.

 

[Patchouli]

@Terri9630 how do you prefer your Dr Pepper? Can, bottle, fountain? Icy, on ice, cold cold, don’t care just gimme the &@$%# Dr Pepper?

 

[Terri9630]

Cold 20oz bottles. I will drink out of a can if I have to but I can taste the aluminum. I'm not fond of fountain drinks. They never taste right.

 

[Patchouli]

@Terri9630 Agree on the fountain. I prefer a bottle but then I drink too much at one time; cans are ok icy. I guess I got used to it in a can. When I pour it over ice, it ruins it! Loses carbonation and flavor almost right away. Are you straight on Dr Pepper or diet? I’m straight on, I never drink diet sodas.

Last night was pesto Chicken. (above)
Tonight was ham & spuds since Hubby & my dad say you can starve to death on chicken.

 

[Amish Heart]

We had ham and spuds, too.
Brought dinner to my favorite cousin's place for a belated birthday dinner now that she's well.
Ham, scalloped pototoes, green salad, and chocolate cookies. We had ice cream, too.
