The What's for Dinner Thread- June 2012 (recipe index in OP)

[franandaj]

That sounds yummy PIO! I need to make burgers like that again. I was looking at my jar of roasted red peppers last night thinking about lamb burgers.

I'm going to the parks today for an all day meet with another DISer and her DH. We had dinner at a BBQ joint last night and if I'm hungry when I get home, I'll eat whats left of my beef and pork ribs and mac and cheese.

Ellen - Gosh! That does sound like a very busy time! Glad you went out for dinner.

Alison - Enjoy the day with the Dis-ser!




WFDT?

Baked potatoes. I ended up eating a proper potato for dinner tonight. First time in about 2 months or so. After taking that little hiatus, I think I can face this weekly meal again.

....what was for dinner last night? I bought some rare roast beef at the deli counter, put the individual slices on a platter, drizzled some GF beef gravy (MacCormack's makes a GF version! ) on top, topped it with mozzarella slices, and popped it in the microwave to melt the cheese. I served it with mashed poatatoes with chives and bacon, and green beans...

Anxiety filled Tuesday!!

Alison ~ Hope your Dis meet was fun - I am sure it was!! Oh to be that close that I could just pop over. You are one very lucky lady.

PIO ~ YEA.......... potatoes are back on the menu. I always think they sound so good. I really need to do this!!

Kimmar ~ See that is why I love this thread SO much. You all have the neatest ideas. Sometimes I get in a slump and my menus need a bit refreshing. Thanks for the idea - it sounds amazing!!!

We have had a cold front come through and our temps were only in the 50's when I got up and only to get in the mid 70's today and tomorrow. It feels amazing and so welcome. The humidity is gone also. It is suppose to be back over the weekend, but for now we are loving it.

Today is a busy busy day. We are combining our Hispanic Ministry with ours. Sounds easy for the most part but for me it is going to be a nightmare. I will be working all day getting the software set. Wish me luck!! I told Doug this morning that I was too old for this. I know it will be ok but until it is all set it is not going to be fun. I will be glad when I lay my head down tonight.

WFDT ~ Chicken fried steaks, quinoa and edemame salad, with roasted beets.

Make it a great day!!

Ellen ~ it's also great on loaves of garlic toast!

 

[kimmar067]

....like hot, open-faced sandwiches...

I'm guessing, B-B-Q'd meat, but I could be wayyyyy off-base....

I don't eat meat anymore so I did not have BBQ....

David did and swears it was wonderful and reminded him of Texas! Which is a very wonderful thing.

I had a salad.

 

[dgbg100106]

....where did you buy them, or are they homemade?

I made them...

This is what I have... and I love it

Brandi - I did see that article. So sad.

Kimmar - I need to try that easy roast beef recipe.

Ellen - We've got a cold front hitting us too. Gonna be cold and wet through to the weekend.
Do you have the recipe for the quinoa and endemame salad?




Dinner was at mum's tonight. So nice to have a meal that I don't have to cook.

 

[dgbg100106]

PIO - the pasta turned out very good, I was thinking that your DH would really like it. Hearty and lightly spicy.

Happy Hump day!!

Brandi ~ What the He** is wrong with people these days. No, I hadn't seen this. Makes me so mad though. Good grief!!

PIO ~ I do have the recipe but it is at home. I will get it and post it. It is really good, and the dressing over it, makes it.

Kimmar ~ Pablo who? ooolalalala.......I want me some Pablo!!

Well my IT/software lady (I use the same one and she is a sweetheart) was out sick yesterday so I made an appointment with her for 1pm this afternoon. They asked if I would like to have someone else help me - NO thanks. I will wait for Pam. So today is the day and I am not nervous today at all. Yesterday before I called I was a nervous wreck. I am just ready for it to be implemented and we can start working it.

We are going to the County Fair tonight. We are meeting Elizabeth and Jay and the boys at the 4H Café for dinner at 6. We will try to get the boys to eat something as they watch all of the rides on the midway. I just love our little County Fair. I also hope to go see the exhibits. But if not tonight Doug and I will go out another night to look through everything. Kind of makes us a bit sad as the kids use to show animals and the fair was a BIG thing in the family, now we just get to watch and look around. Such is life!

WFDT ~ Oh I can tell you EXACTLY what I will have tonight - a 4H burger (best sloppy joe your could ever eat), homemade chips and a piece of homemade pie. And you can bet a bag of cotton candy will be going home with me also. Have I mentioned I love the fair.

Make it a great day!

Brandi - I did see the recipe. I'm not sure that DH is into nutritional yeast; but I will try and put the rest together and substitute with something.

 

[franandaj]

The Disneyana convention opens tonight with a benefit dinner for Cal Institute for the Arts (the college Walt & Roy funded the opening). It's a banquet so we usually order one beef and one chicken and Fran lets me choose which one looks better.

It should be interesting.

We are waiting to preview a DL attraction that has been under construction for six months and will be opening later this week. That should be interesting as well. No pictures allowed so I'll have to wait until next Thursday when I have my first official visit.

Ellen - Hope that you enjoyed the Fair. Was the weather was good? How's the computer?

Alison - Enjoy!
