What's for dinner tonight?

[KateMTx]

I made spaghetti this week for my meal preps. I like to the sauce because the sodium content in jar sauce is so high, but I don't always have time for that. But I had some leftover tomatoes from making sandwiches last week so I used those and some low-sodium tomato paste to make my own.

 

[DrHenley]

Big fat juicy tomato sandwich and steamed burdock root buns.

Burdock root is about 3 ft long.

It is common in Asian cuisine, especially Hakka, but it's mostly unknown now in the West, At one time it was used as a bittering agent in beer until it was replaced by hops.

 

[Proud Prepper]

I made meatloaf, mashed potatoes, early green peas and a brown caramelized onion gravy.

 

[Dani]

I ended up doing chili dogs. . . It's been that kind of day.

Yummy! Nothing like caramelized onion gravy!!

And Dani, there is nothing wrong with a hot dog now and then!

 

[GeorgiaPeachie]

For dinner I made some fresh pasta with already made and canned spaghetti sauce with homemade meatballs...a simple caesar salad with sliced olives and homemade croutons. Wine of course and some Dean Martin music to go along! My sweetie danced with me in the kitchen.

Trying to get everything ready for Sally so I haven't had time to do much for supper. I threw some Hakka steamed buns and Chinese dumplings into the steamer to cook while I take a break.

Just a few simple things turned out to be an all day adventure, LOL.

Had to get the shop vac rigged back up for mopping up the basement, just in case. I've been using it as a dust collector in the shop for various pieces of equipment. The plastic nut that holds the filter in place was missing so I had to make a nut for it. Fortunately I had the right tap. Then I had trouble finding the squeegee head for it and the extension tube.

Brought a battery in from the 6KW inverter in the storage room to add to the battery bank downstairs for the 2KW inverter because I use it more than the big one. That was a chore! Damn I'm getting old. I used to be able to carry that thing around. I had to get the hand truck this time. And of course the hand truck had a flat and I had to get out the compressor. It's been so long since I used the compressor I fumbled around with it for a while before I got everything going right.

Alright, I think I'm ready for Sally! Now I can go check on the food in the steamer...

I sure wish I could send some of this rain up to Mav and Arctic!

I made a smaller pot of beef stew in the instapot. I’m really loving the thing now. I was tired and was still able to make a good dinner in about 40mins total with it.
I also picked the last three honeydews out of the garden yesterday so will have some of those with every meal for a few days. Best flavor ever, and am saving the seeds for next year. I’m picking carrots and tomatoes still too.
The weather is finally breaking here. It was chilly early this morning. I’m going to do a pot of chili really soon. I use Ground pork and Beef in it with fewer beans than most do.

I had a salad and some chips with queso. I wish I could have a glass of wine but I'm on call

I can only get the type of food you post by going to a restaurant. You’re lucky

 

[Maverick]

Liver and onion, mashed tators and green beans topped with mushroom gravy. My favorite dinner

 

[DrHenley]

Fried chicken sandwich, provolone cheese, tomato, and dill pickle relish.

 

[Proud Prepper]

I made 2 big Muffuletta's for everyone and had a couple Abita amber beers. Doc, There a wedge left over for you.... If you can find my place.

 

[DrPrepper1]

Red snapper, steamed kale, and baby potatoes.

 

[Dani]

Meatloaf sounds good for tonight. Think I will get some hamburger out before I go to bed. That is a quick throw together meal with some mashed potatoes and whatever other veggie I want to do. Maybe a salad.

It'll take me about 6 1/2 hours, so I'll be there before suppertime.

 

[Acdoctor]

Broccoli cheddar soup and a grilled cheese sandwich.

 

[KateMTx]

I baked a boneless turkey with roasted vegetables and cranberry jelly on the side. With several glasses of wine. After the weekend I had (on call for work) I needed it, LOL.

 

[DrHenley]

So far a tomato sandwich. I haven't had time to cook yet and the wife is visiting her sister.. Now it's time for bed. Maybe a little midnight snack...

 

[Dani]

I took out 1 inch cut pork chops to defrost this morning around 4 and told hunny he is going to be grilling today. I got my morning chores done. . . Fed Clarabelle, cleaned out the goat barn and water troughs then fed and fed the beef momma cow and calf May out front. Pork chops (hunny has these marinading now) and baked potatoes (done in the microwave) for a quick dinner tonight. I should be sleeping right now but the neighbor down the road drove in and hunny was showing him Clarabelle. . . dogs were barking and the front gate was opened so I wouldn't let them out til he left.

 

[dirtdiva]

Open face hot turkey sandwiches with gravy, mashed potatoes, green peas and carrots. Fried apples for dessert

 

[OldButtoni]

I made my hearty low-carb Chicken Stew: Buttoni's Low-Carb Recipes

 

[Mountain trapper]

Steak and grilled bell peppers. Listened to it rain while I ate. Haven't heard that sound since June.

How enjoyable and relieving it had to be! Such good news finally!

 

[Dani]

I had good intentions, but they are not happening so it is leftovers of grilled porkchops, baked potatoes and a salad. The cubed steaks I got out this morning can wait till tomorrow.

 

[Mountain trapper]

After chores I'm going to call it a day and make a fried bologna and cheese sandwich. It never got above 50 degs today and we've had a cold wind blowing. Maybe some tomato soup would go good with the sandwich.

 

[DrHenley]

Grilled chicken sandwich with tomato, homemade pickles, provolone cheese, Duke's real mayo on Arnold's Healthnut bread.

I like Dukes mayonnaise. We normally eat Blue Plate mayonnaise, made here in NOLA. I have a 15 month supply.

We were in the same boat Dani! I served leftovers too. LOL. Hubby complimented them anyway. We had bbq ribs, meatloaf, spaghetti squash and baked beans.

Glad you finally got some rain.
We had our first cold front so it's cooled off a little bit - lows in the 50s. I made a pot of chili that will last me all week.
