What's for Dinner?

[Master Taran]

Drunken Bratz and Kraut.

[wildernesse]

Turkey chili with saltines.

[lisarea]

Cabbage and meatball soup.

[Legs]

Chicken breasts baked in the oven, stir fried veggies on rice.

Appetizer was split pea soup.

[Legs]

I took today off work to clean my house.. yes, that's how bad it was.

So now I'm beat, I think I am going to do breakfast for dinner, bacon, eggs, fried potatoes, toast.



It will be real toast too, not like that crap they serve in Holland.

[Master Taran]

Next week (29 Nov.) Garnet and I will have delivered and installed a brand new stove and oven.

Then I can start baking things again.

And it's spelled The Netherlands

[Legs]

In the old days when I was there, it was Holland.

Can you explain the whole Holland/Netherlands thing for me?

[Watser?]

This country started as a loose federation of provinces, Holland being the most important, richest and most heavily populated one. Plus most of the trading, conquering and pirating was done by Holland (or Zeeland, which is another coastal province), so most furriners thought Holland was the name for the entire country (like many people do with England/the UK). And many Dutch people use the terms as if they are synonyms too
Holland has been split into two provinces, North and South, meanwhile. Amsterdam (and Alkmaar and Haarlem) is in Noord Holland, Rotterdam and The Hague in Zuid Holland.

The Netherlands is the whole, but Holland isn't. The whole of Holland is not the whole of the Netherlands. There might be a hole in the dyke* but not in the whole of the dyke.

* And the little boy put his finger in it, yes

Where is Amsterdam? is it in Holland?

[Watser?]

Yeah, in Holland, North Holland.

Rack of Lamb
Mashed potatoes with gravy
Maple baby carrots

[BrotherMan]

[lisarea]

WHAT THE HELL, LEGS?

[Legs]

Just for that I'm going to take a picture of it.

[lisarea]

I will look at that picture while I eat gummy worms and stale crackers.

[Legs]

Basic Shrimp Cocktail, nothing fancy






Nice Rack




Dinner is served




The only reason I could take pics is because Widget is having a snooze, I ate earlier so I have his sitting ready to warm up. (Well, not the shrimp)

The potatoes are Yukon Golds, that's why they look so yellow. The carrots I steam and then toss in melted butter/maple syrup.

[Ensign Steve]

Gummy worms and stale crackers sounds good. I'm probably going to have Starbucks for dinner.

[Legs]

That lamb dinner is up for grabs, Widget didn't feel like eating anything when he woke up.

[lisarea]

We didn't have gummy worms, so I made falafel with quinoa tabouli and a salad with yogurt dressing. I put sriracha all over mine because I am all diverse and multicultural like that.

And now I will have some of that lamb.

[wildernesse]

Dal with rice and naan from the store.

[curses]

Tonight is Jamaican Yuca Shepherd's Pie (with sweet potatoes, kidney beans, and plantains), jicama salad with pineapples and oranges, and maybe some rice of some sort.

[Legs]

Sounds good, curses.

I am making chicken curry here.
