What's for Dinner?

[Dingfod]

ERMAGHERD, ERM MAKEN DER DERNGFERD'S QUERKERN ERZEY SKLLERT CHILLIE!

[Vivisectus]

Chicken Cacciatore with brown rice and steamed broccoli. Only I just add one or two chicken legs for the flavour and use pieces of breast-meat for the rest, because I do not like the whole soggy-skinned-chicken yuckyness.

Canonoli shells:

4 C flour
2 Eggs
3T oil
3 T sugar
Pinch salt
1t lemon juice
1T honey
1/2 C white wine

Add enough water to make the dough workable, mix dough to a hard consistency so it will go thry a maccaroni machine, or hand roll it into a flat sheet. Cut into ovals. Put on rollers. Deep fry shells on roller. Remove rollers and fry insides. Cool.

Filling (for 50 shells)
3 lbs ricotta
Custard:
2 C sugar
3 T flour
1/4 C cornstarch
1t vanilla flavoring

Cook custard. Cool. Mix w/ricotta. Fill shells.

Note: if no maccaroni rollers available, the author of this recipe suggested using a wooden broom handle, like her family used to do.

I am not cooking dinner again until after Thanksgiving, so tonight, we had brownies (I wanted brownies) and leftover spaghetti puttanesca.

The next three days are going to be takeout and junk.

It is heavenly, and will be the centerpiece of an evil plan of mine. A really good buddy of mine is visiting this week. He moved to Colorado a few months back. I know how he loves to eat. I plan to cram him so full of food that he will be unable to eat much turkey tomorrow. Then his whole family gets to hear how good a cook I am when they ask him what is wrong. The plan is much more evil and complex than that, but this is the Internet, and all. In fact, I may have said too much already. But anyone who likes duck should try out this recipe.

[S.Vashti]

We had pumpkin pie for dinner last night. I love being an adult!

[S.Vashti]

I just cooked duck a l'orange.



It is some fancy sauce, it is, with 20 ingredients. But delicious. My mom never had duck before, and wanted to try the nigh famous "a l'orange", so I said I would make it for her. It was good.

I have saved the leftover orange sauce for game hens later this week.

I AM BAMPING THIS THRAD TO TELL EVERYONE THAT IT IS SNOWING AND I'M MAKING CHICKEN MULLIGATAWNEY SOUP, which is basically my personal version of God's in His heaven, all's right with the world.

And our weekly dinner guests just cancelled because of the roads, which is sad but which also means that I can change into pajamas whenever I want, so I'm still good.

You're not fooling us pea, you never changed out of your pyjamas

Biff à la Lindström with potatoes and a fried egg

[Janet]

It seems like admitting you have a problem really is the first step to fixing it. I have cooked dinner all but one night since I admitted that I rarely do it anymore. Today was turkey Salisbury steak stuffed with Brie over the leftover rice stuffing from the Cornish hen I made on Sunday. Managed to use the leftover gravy in the sauce as well.

I should've been clear that it didn't look that pretty.

And also that it did not make my poop purple

[livius drusus]

Dandelion green pesto. It's bitter as hell but in a good way.

[thedoc]

Turkey.

[BrotherMan]

For my favorite holiday movie(s) marathon (Die Hards and Lethals Weapon), I made what I'm calling Tex-Mexaroni. Simple chili plus mac and cheese all baked together until delicious.

[BrotherMan]

Tonight: Taco Pizza. LIVIUS, DON'T LOOK!

I blended some of the pico into a salsa-sauce. Like, not chunky in anyway. It came out all brown and wrong looking, but it had plenty of flavor. I used that concoction on the base and built up with cheese and refritos and ground pork, topping it all with regular ol' chunky pico de gallo.

For a next time I'll know better than to try to pick one up before I let them sit for a moment. I almost lost one from that mistake.

[Anastasia Beaverhausen]

Yum.

Turkish chicken tonight.


600g chicken breast, cubed
1 t cumin
2 t lemon juice
salt to season

2 t garlic
2 t oregano
1 T mild chili

I added some coriander paste 'cause I had it. Probably 1 or 2 T worth.
(ALL ABOVE ARE THE PASTES IN TUBES)

Mix all, let sit for at least 20-ish minutes? I stab the chicken all over and let it marinate all day in the fridge. It recommends BBQing it on bamboo skewers, but I just tossed it in a grill pan and let it blacken.

Yogurt dressing:
250 ml plain yogurt
1 T cumin
1 T lemon juice
1 t garlic
1 T mint (see note above)
Dill, if you have it. I do.

The book says to serve with couscous, but I do vegetable fried rice.

Dead pig is what's for dinner tonight.

[lisarea]

We're having leftover shakshouka* and green chili with polenta or whatever else anyone wants to heat up for themselves because I am a Randian style objectivist and I do not share or do anything that benefits anyone but myself.

* The tomato base is leftover, and we'll add fresh eggs to it to serve, I mean. Don't want anyone to think I'm reheating some old used eggs.

[vremya]

Chili!

As soon as rigorist or I works up the energy to go into the kitchen and make it, that is.

[livius drusus]

What is the difference between an open-faced taco and a taco pizza? Because it just looks like a double-thick mound of taco filling on top of a tortilla to me. I forgive you your cilantro, for you know not what you do.

For the first time since I was a kid, I made grilled cheeses tonight using Kraft singles. Oh yeah. I did it. AND IT WAS DELICIOUS.

[LadyShea]

The difference is that they are both tostadas. Wtf?

[BrotherMan]

FOOD PROSCRIPTION OPPRESSION ITT

[roastelk]

breakfast sausages burned the point of being charred ( I like them burned), Kraft dinner, and canned French style green beans. my kids will all complain profusely but I love this meal. At least they'll all eat the Kraft dinner

[LadyShea]

Sloppy Joes and broccoli/apple/cabbage slaw
