The What's For Dinner Thread - August '09(recipe index in OP)

[HERSEY]

Sheryl i only knew about the sweet version with the Amish starter. I got tired of doing it so I got rid of all the starter.

 

[HERSEY]

I was poking about in Allrecipes. I wonder how different the starters are. There is one for Herman bread that you can make into pancakes and bread not all sweet.

Oh goofy me just added on to my DVC Now I'll be able to stay at the BLT without using up all my points. Disney was having a sale.

All I have to do now is win the mega million tonight

 

[Aimeedyan]

I kind of figured that from your description of him. I really hope he is not as stubborn as my MIL was.

Re: zoom zoom mobiles - my grandfather, most stubborn and prideful man I know, actually rode in one. However, it was when he and his girlfriend visited WDW - which we all know is WAY too much walking for 80+ year olds - so they rented one for his girlfriend and he took turns on it. That way he wasn't renting it, just driving it when she wanted to walk

Oooh, I'm jealous of that BLT purchase!! Congrats on the new buy!

How awesome!

 

[HERSEY]

I actually added on to my home Saratoga Springs cause that is loads cheaper. But I can use the points anywhere just have to wait a little longer to book other than my home resort. Sorry for the confusion.

I'm so jealous of your BLT purchase! We really want to do it, but just can't right now. But I'm very happy for you!

Thanks for looking! I'll probably try doing a banana bread & a french. Chris gave me the starter she was given, because she didn't want to fool with it.

I wish I could understand thier reasoning. I rented a scooter on our last trip with Alexis. It made our trip so much easier on me.

My Mom said no to the scooter but she liked it once we gave it to her. We also insisted on a good power chair and wished we had "forced" it on her sooner. She loved it once she got it.

Sheryl- I only used the Herman starter for cakes and sweet breads. O made all kinds of fall cakes but never made any regular breads. If you try it let us know how they come out.

Janice- YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for you!

Ladies- I commented on some pics of Nola's on FB. I think you can see them if you head over there.

Dinner was grilled steak, tomato and onion salad and a pasta primavera type thing made with WW noodles, onion,s summer squash and zucinni and garlic.

 

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

Janice, good for you!!!!!

Nan, I looked at Nola on FB, you is beautiful!!!!!!

Anyone watching Hell's Kitchen?

Dinner tonight was homemade mac & cheese some tomatoes & fruit salad to make it healthy!

A friend of mine went to WDW for the first time two years ago - broke her ankle two weeks prior. So, they rented a scooter for their trip. She said she never wants to go back to WDW without one! They look fun to me

Dinner was sorta a bust. Any suggestions? I made chipotle chicken club sandwiches. Almost a rotisserie chicken worth of shredded chicken, mayo, garlic, lemon juice, cilantro, and chipotle pepper in adobo sauce all mixed together. It called for 1 chopped pepper, and some of the sauce. Well... I couldn't even finish half my sandwich it was so hot. Now I admit to being a big baby with hot stuff but I couldn't drink enough to get through that sandwich!

Would mixing more mayo in it help take the heat down?

I ended up eating the bacon off it and calling it a day. I'll be hungry later!

 

[LBKB]

Has anyone made bread from the Amish Friendship Starter? Do I have to make a sweet bread with it? I found one recipe for french bread from starter, but it wasn't very clear whether or not it was the same starter?

My mom has this going we take turns making it. we have only made sweet breads and cinnamon rolls.

 

[HERSEY]

Aimee I would try to add more mayo.

 

[LBKB]

Anyone watching Hell's Kitchen?

Watching right now.

 

[TigerKat]

I'm watching Hell's Kitchen too! Gotta go check out Nola on fb......

 

[TigerKat]

I can't find Nola's pics on facebook, can someone help?

 

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

I can't find Nola's pics on facebook, can someone help?

Go to Nancy's page then find Welby in her friends.......you can see Nola in Welby's photos.

Did that make sense?

I think one has more sugar to it so it is best for the sweet breads and the other is more of a sourdough.

And the Mega Millions is MINE!!!! I need the money to be able to buy DVC!

Dinner was pizza and fried corn.
