What’s for dinner?

[dvcgirl67]

How did you get that so round? I did homemade pizza tonight (first time making my own dough) and mine (made 4) ranged somewhere between square and oblong.

I use my hands as much as possible and once I get a good round shape I’ll use a rolling pin to really get a nice thin crust.

Korean braised chicken in the slow cooker. It was quite good, but I have a feeling it would be even better on the stove instead. So next time will try it that way. I did something to my back and have pain in my lower back, hips, and legs. So a slow cooker meal was what I needed today! I just ate the stew with a mini naan. Will make some noodles tomorrow most likely to have with it.

Feel better.

Yours looked so round—I reread your post a couple of times because I was sure I misunderstood that the crust itself wasn’t store bought. I am very impressed! And inspired.

The thread about the Kitchenaid stand mixer made me realize I could be doing much more with mine—made yeast rolls yesterday and pizza dough today. I’ve had the mixer since I got married almost 25 years ago and I don’t think I had ever used the dough hook before.

Ha...well, trust me, we are what....8-9 months into this pandemic, and my pizzas in those first few months....did not look like my pizza looks now. I'm a pretty good home cook...but I have never been a baker in my life before this whole thing. And never made homemade pizza dough. I have fiddled more with the pizza dough than anything I've made. We like pizza. I settled on the Tyler Florence recipe with adjustments, realized that the flour really matters with pizza, and then found that after the dough rises that refrigerating for 1-2 hours, and then working with the dough is best. Then I find it's pliable enough to be able to handle, but not too warm that I cause tears in the dough. But I'm not good enough to get it as thin as we like it without using a rolling pin at the end. Good luck with your pizza!

We are unapologetically having my personal favorite comfort food, tuna casserole! We're having it with green salad and will have satsuma oranges for dessert.

Hey, you don't need to apologize to me. I've personally admitted to liking Miracle Whip.

It's cold in South Florida tonight & getting colder for the next few days. Dinner tonight was 15 bean soup & corn bread. We're probably going to have some type of soup or chili for the next few nights.

Is there a cliff notes version?

Thanks. I don't have the patience for long videos.

A charcuterie board with a glass of Pinot Grigio!

I always wonder where people are from when they write what they had for dinner, anyone else?

I always imagine the people making Pot Roast are somewhere cold. I live in California and that doesn’t seem to be a common dinner here.

Tomato soup

Lunch was fish and chips in Epcot

We accidentally received one of those meal subscription boxes (long story) this afternoon. The stuff in it was pretty surprising; ingredients for 5 different meals, none of which I chose. When we had originally discussed doing this it was with the intention that DH and DS would choose the meals and do the cooking a time or two a week. Well, at least that part worked out and worked out great!! We had teriyaki-glazed chicken with roasted carrots and diakon slaw with edemame. They are not cooks but they did pretty well actually - all the ingredients were pre-prepped and the instructions were very clear. It was a lovely evening.
