It's Monday, so we have skating. That means the kids will eat in the car (I REALLY need to SuperVac the backseat...my brother describes my car as Eau De M+Ms) and I will eat when we get back. I bought way too many tomatoes at the Farmer's Market last week, so I need to use them up. Maybe I will make a pizza.

Buffalo chicken lasagna

This sounds very good!


It's Monday and that's Red Beans & Rice day here.

Have a great day everyone!

Happy Monday everybody!

Tonight's dinner will be a baked Hunter's Stew. New recipe, and it sounds good, but a little bland. I'm planning on playing around with it. If I can get the laundry caught up, I may reward myself with the chocolate cherry muffins. We'll see.

Sorry I didn't post this weekend. Wayyyyy too much drama with my parents not making it back from their vacation. Emergency landing in a different city, etc., trying to find where their dog was (supposed to be with my brother). Anyway, Kenny and I are exhausted.

The etouffee was good, but I think next time I'll make it with fresh shrimp. We liked the crawfish, but I'm sure like other seafood, they would have been better if they were fresher. We are so spoiled living on the coast.

Tonight I am making Lindsay's Sloppy Joe Demaggios and steak fries for the kids.

Gretchen, Sorry the etouffee wasn't quite as yummy as you hoped. Maybe the frozen crawfish we can get here are fresher than what you were able to get? The brand I buy is Paul Gaspard (cleaned & peeled wild caught Breaux Bridge, LA). I had tried another brand (also a cajun name ) & then realized it was Chinese crawfish! That freaks me out for several reasons but also just doesn't taste the same at all!

Tonght's dinner is either going to be red beans & rice or Irish Lamb Stew if I can find that recipe I had for that. I looked for it on the computer & couldn't find it maybe it's in my old envelope "file"? I sure hope I find it, I had tried to duplicate the stew from the Irish Booth at F&W fest last year & the one did last year was very close. Wonder if I posted it here? I'll go look.

Have a good day Y'all!

Happy nooner ya'll! I just got off the phone with Disney Dining

This was last week's "Oscar" dish, leftovers version!

Got Rick out on his plane at 5am this morning.

Not sure what's for dinner yet.

Janice- those tornados weren't near you, were they? Just hoping you're ok.

The only brand I could find were the Chinese kind. I'm sure that was the problem. I'll try again if I can find any domestic.

Well........what did you get for F&W?!? Since I can't go, I have to hear all about everyone else's plans.

Oh, sorry. Duh, guess I could've put that in too, huh? Booked the Party for the Senses for October 27th. Can't wait for that phone call from Rick tonight "Um, honey, why did Disney charge my card for $287?"

This'll be our first PFTS...I can't wait! We had friends go last year and convinced us we should go this year.

 

[HERSEY]

Lori Thanks for asking, I'm fine. The tornando's are in what's called "tornando alley" I'm 20-25 miles north and little west of their. Though I do know a bunch of Diser's in that area.

Congrat's on the "party for the senses"

I'm on my own for dinner tonight. It is wicked humid around here feels like a steam bath. There are storms predicted for every day but friday. I think I may be cooking inside this week.I'll break out the old crock pot, I was so not organized this morning.

Glynis the choc cherry muffings sound good. That reminds me somewhere I have a recipe for chocolat cherry bread I should find that.

 

[JennyMominRI]

Hi there, How's everyone doing today?
Well since peapod messed up my plans by bringing sandwich meat but no bread, and hamburger buns but no hamburgers, I 've changed plans

I'm making Rachel Rays Blue Cheese-Stuffed Potatoes with Buffalo Chicken Tenders, although I substitute Feta cheese this time

 

[shovan]

The only brand I could find were the Chinese kind. I'm sure that was the problem. I'll try again if I can find any domestic.

I had fixed 2 different dishes around the same time. One with the Chinese & then one that was LA crawfish. And I was really surprised at how different & better the homegrown crawfish were! Almost like two different animals!

Well........what did you get for F&W?!? Since I can't go, I have to hear all about everyone else's plans.

After trying for 35 minutes to get thru & 20 minutes on hold this morning I booked PFTS 10/20, and two Pairings one at Marrakesh, another at Coral Reef. Le Cellier was already full for both of the Fridays we'd be there!

Jenny, You sure are innovative! After that shopping trip, we'd be having the sandwich meat on the hamburger buns for sure!

I'll make Ed pick up some bread from the corner store on the way home..I'll get hamburgers from Schwans tomorrow

Where's Nancy today???

 

[nucpharm29]

Ugh, it's just too dang hot here to cook! I just got back from the grocery store with a bunch of quick meals that require little cooking. I don't want to turn the oven on this week--crockpot or microwave for a while--at least until the temps get under 100!

Lori-AAAAHHH, after reading your post I realized I completely forgot to call Disney Dining today! Nothing quite as exciting as your F&W stuff--but ADRs nonetheless!

aimeedyan--My DH is gonna love that buffalo lasgna--Thanks for posting

Okay, off fix something for dinner--think it's gonna be one of those Bertolli meals in a bag--looked tasty in the picture and it's just me--as the kids won't eat anything anyway, and DH is at the PGA Championship

 

[HERSEY]

nucpharm29 Which Bertoli did you get? I really like those, I only buy them on sale though.

Ok off to search for my dinner

 

[shovan]

Stephanie, It's really hot here too.

I don't know what I was thinking with stew today & this heat!! I couldn't keep the house cool even before I had it on the stove today & now it's just ridiculous! Got it on the stove earlier, then Alexis & I went to cool off in the pool. The water is NINETY TWO FREAKIN DEGREES!!!! Not very refreshing, but still better than hangin over the hot stove like I'm doing now.

Buffalo Chicken Lasagna! I missed that, will have to go look at that recipe it sounds great!

Where is Nancy today?

Y'all have a nice evening!

Sheryl

Count me in as one of those whose dinner plans have changed. DH got called away to cover a coal mine cave in, so it's just me and the kids. I pulled some frozen pot pies out of the freezer, and that's what the kids will have. I'll make myself a chicken Caesar salad. Hopefully, I can put the kids to bed early, and then I'll slip in Catch and Release. DH won't watch it with me, so tonight's a good night.

I heard about the coal mine cave in, praying for them.

 

[liamandcaili]

My dinner plans changed tonight too. I was going to make pizza, but the weather changed here, and by the time I got home from skating it was hot and humid, so I wasn't going to turn the oven on to 450. I just made pasta with a cherry tomato sauce and roasted garlic chiabatta sticks with dipping oil. It made up for the lack of carbs yesterday.

 

[Nancyg56]

Here I am!

I just saw the news about the cave in. I will be sure to add my prayers for them.

I just read through the past few pages and will chat tomorrow, right now I cannot move! I spent the weekend helping my sister move and today I cleaned with her so that Dan and Erica can start moving in when they are ready. We have the bathrooms all done as well as the kitchen and one living area room. We'll go back on Wednesday to move some more stuff and finish cleaning so Erica can just move her things in.

Last night my BIL cooked steak and veggies and tomato salad with some kind of brown rice. I brought home dinner for DH who wanted to know what all that stuff was and what was in the tomatoes. I had to laugh becasue he is used to my cooking and most everything else isn't seasoned enough. He had no idea what the Success rice was

Tonight this old girl picked up grinders from a small shop that makes the best giants around.

See you all tomorrow
