Well no Chicken Pasta Parmesan for us tonite, we got sidetracked. Modern technology - Kyle came home with his new PC(IBM ThinkPad) from school, they use it for ALL schoolwork. Of course Mom had to play with the new toy . It replaces notebooks, written homework assignments, etc. It's so neat, they rent it for $250 per year.....anyhoo we ordered pizza!! I'll do the chicken tomorrow in case I don't post in the AM.

Have a great evening everyone!

Lauren, That looks great! Glad you're getting into the food porn biz!!!

TxTink, Glad you liked YOUR etoufee!

Becky thanks for the curry roasted potato recipe! I fixed them tonight, they were yummy. I'll post a pic of dinner later.

Here's a pic of tonight's dinner. I started wanting to fix Becky's potatoes & then figure out what would go with it. So I thawed out some halibut & had planned just to pan sear it with lemon. I also fixed had fixed some mustard greens. At the last minute I decided to fix a coconut curry sauce for the fish. After tasting I decided to plate it all together, a la Emeril style!

Sure, I think you could just leave it out, I don't put in quite as much as it calls for either, cilantro can be overwhelming! (If you like basil, you could try using that instead...maybe...?)

Thank you! Maybe I will just add a little ciantro like you do...

Hi everyone. I'm a bit of a lurker here but I just had to delurk to share this.

I copied some of the recipes from this thread and finally got around to making one tonight.
We had the Buffalo Chicken Lasagna and wow that was just fantastic!
My husband was raving about it, said it was definitely a keeper

I was a little worried how it would turn out since our Safeway here only had super crazy hot wing sauce, but I just put a little less than the recipe called for and it was perfect

So thank you so much to whoever posted that recipe. And also thanks for the easy to use index on the first page. Definitely a brain saver

Next on the list to try this week is the baked hunter's stew.

Such an adventurous week for us

Today I am making the Glynis Roast with carrots and smashed potatoes.

WFD at your house?

 

[Nancyg56]

Good Morning all! I tried to post last night but the laptop went to sleep !
Kathy- who did you say the think pad was for, hmmmmm? Seriously, renting sounds like a great idea for high school kids, they need up to date technology.

Lauren- dinner looks good!

Sheryl- I have the potato recipe but my kitchen has been closed this week. Any more pictures and my guilt level is going to be enormous!

arbeywolf- Welcome to the WFD thread. Lindsay keeps the front page updated for us.

I never cooked last night, stressful day! Today I am going to clean this house and take the kitchen back . I'll try again for that easy grilled hamburgers. I have got to because Erica gave me a lot of peppers from her garden and I want to make onions and peppers to top the burgers so no deviating for me .

Incidentally, Harry Potter keeps calling me. I should have kept moving yesterday but I was almost finished with Book 3 and, you know what happened then.....on to Book 4!

 

[TigerKat]

Have fun!!!

I wish! He took it back.

I'm making crab cakes for dinner tonight.

Have a good day all.

Lindsey--great minds think alike--we're having Glynis Pot Roast here as well, along with carrots and the Roasted Parm Cauliflower posted here.

Oh, and TIA to all ya'll NOLA ladies for "hopefully" blowing some of your gulf moisture our way--looks to break our heat wave this weekend. Even if the temps get in the mid-90s, we'll be getting some relief!

I was thinking of you when I saw the national weather this morning. Way too hot!

Please let me know how the cauliflower comes out, I've been wanting to try it!!

As for the weather, glad we could help! BUT the forecast of a hurricane in the Gulf early next week has me petrified.

 

[FormrCastMbr]

Good Morning All!

Welcome Arbeywolf!

I have defrosted some tomato sauce (no meat). We will have that over some sort of pasta, salad and eggplant parm. I bought one of those premade eggplant parm side dishes from the deli counter.


Another east night for me. We are going back to get weighed in tonight at WW... ...I have not been following as good as I should have been...

Have a great day!

 

[THE HAT]

Morning friends!!

Welcome aboard Arbeywolf, we are a chatty bunch so jump right in!! Lindsey does a great job keeping our recipes updated!!!!

Lauren- The stairs look beautiful, tell Tom great job!!!

Kathy- I am praying that the storm fizzles out for all of you!!!!

Nancy- Don't burn yourself out....I hope you have some down time of sorts planned for the weekend!

To all who posted food porn.....MMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!

Lori- I am sure Wanna B enjoyed keeping you company....he was able to hang with Mama!!

All of you with heat issues........glad to take some up this was....it was in the 40's last night and right now it is a balmy 59 degrees, lol. Such is life in Maine!!

Dinner tonight will be Haddock.....not sure how I will cook it yet....maybe with a lemon sauce. We will have fresh green beans and cous cous with it.

Have a great day all!!

Kathy--according to our weather man this morning, whatever Tropical Depression is in the gulf right now won't reach hurricane status--I surely wouldn't hope for a hurricane for ya'll just so we'd get a little relief! Hopefully, there isn't another storm brewing out there in the gulf. As much as I love the friends we've made that are Katrina transplants, wouldn't want that to happen again!

Wendie--How amazing is it that we live in the same country and your temps are 50 degrees cooler than it was here yesterday!

Lemon pepper chicken...............

 

[shovan]

Welcome to our newbies!

Thanks to Lindsay for all her work keeping our index updated!

Nancy, Forget the guilt, read your books!

Becky, Love your plates & the plating of your yummy food!

Wendie, In the 40's in August??? That just amazes me! As Stephanie said, a 50 degree temp difference, just Wow.

Lauren, Good luck at WW! But I'm going to just pretend that I don't own a scale for now!

I really need to get myself back to the neurologist for a neck & back checkup. I've been having a lot of pain & numbness, (not anything new for me, just getting worse) even swimming as been causing it to flair up. So keeping the weight off is getting tougher.

For dinner tonight we'll have last night's yummy leftovers, if I can stay away from it for lunch that is!
