Red beans and rice.

Why does rigatoni make you angry, LG?

I'm making calzones tomorrow night, some recipe from, uh, some "healthy eating made simple" cookbook I snagged from the library today.

Sweet potatoes rule in any form. I get confused, however, when people call them "yams".

It is what she turned it into that was the problem.


Tonight I am having a sausage sanga for dinner. We're going to a movie under the stars with the kids.

I made a revolting rigatoni dish, with cauliflower and garlic and olive oil and a very small bit of tomato sauce and too much salt. I ate 5 bites and gave up.

Tonight I reconfigured it by adding collard greens, chickpeas, and some chopped tomato. It's much improved. I wanted kale or mustard greens, but they seemed really wilted at the store. The collard greens were the least wilted.

I think the lesson I learned, beyond the obvious one of don't add too much salt, is cauliflower doesn't go very well with pasta. I love cauliflower but for me it goes better with rice dishes, and with Indian turmeric dishes.

What is sausage sanga?

[[deleted user]]

A sausage on a sandwich, very gourmet.

[Jonathan]

Sounds good.

[Phil]

Tonight was Mongolian Grill. I can load up on veggies and dad gets his noodles.

[Sarah]

RA, sweet potatoes and yams are two different things. I'll betcha Bun could explain. I'm going to bed.

I ended up going with chive linguini, chickpeas (canned), broccoli (frozen), spinach(frozen), olive oil and parmesan."

Oh, that sounds delicious.

Yams are different. Not the rich orange color, and they can be stringy in texture.

[Aynge]

Hopefully El Pollo Loco. I haven't been there in a long time. God, that sounds great.

[RandomAnthony]

I had no idea yams and sweet potatoes were different.

Tonight I made corn/broccoli calzones. They turned out pretty well.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Wait, you think that just cheese should be on pizza, RA, and yet you put corn and broccoli in calzone, two things I would NEVER put on pizza OR calzone?

[RandomAnthony]

Calzones and pizza are different, Jacks. No wonder pizza confuses you.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I don't want corn in a calzone. I have had broccoli in a calzone (a broccoli cheddar bacon calzone) and it was excellent.

I don't want corn, broccoli, pears, yams, sweet potatoes, Idaho potatoes, celery, kale, orange slices, pineapple, or sardines on a pizza.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Pizza doesn't confuse me, RA. I know I would never put corn on it.

[Félix]

I like El Pollo Loco, too, Aynge.

When I think sweet potatoes, I think of actual potatoes that you peel and cook like potatoes. When I think of yams, I think of the canned crap.

I yam what I yam, Buckaroo.

I started brining my beef brisket for St. Patrick's day. I found the recipe on Epicurious.com--it's going to marinate in the fridge for four days before I cook it with the cabbage and carrots and potatoes.

The meat and veg are served with Horseradish Cream and Guiness mustard on the side.

[Aynge]

Probably fried rice tonight.

[Sarah]

How do you make your Guinness mustard?

Whatever I make tonight needs to have lots of leftovers cause I don't have time to cook for the next three days.

[[deleted user]]

tilapia with garlic sauce. maybe a glass of wine.

[Phil]

Tonight is just a salad, and I'm cheating on the making of it. We bought the pre-prepared spinach salad from Costco. Lazy me.

I am not sure about Guinness mustard--don't know if it's something I buy in a jar or something I make. I will check on Epicurious. The Horseradish cream calls for fresh horseradish and sour cream and a couple of other ingredients.

Leftovers are a guarantee with a 5-pound brisket.

[Cynthia]

Sarah here's the recipe from Epicurious:

Guinness Mustard
Yields: about 3/4 cup

1/2 C. Course-grained Dijon mustard
2 T. regular Dijon mustard
2 T. Guinness stout beer
1 T. minced shallot
1 t. brown sugar

Whisk all ingredients in small bowl, cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours. Can make up to two days ahead. Keep refrigerated.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Couscous, grilled salmon, sliced avocado with walnuts.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

I want to go to Lobstergirl's house for dinner. Yum!

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Simple, fast, and fairly cheap too.

[Félix]

Grilled cheese with turkey pastrami, roasted corn doritos, and a Sam Adams irish red.

[Jim]

Pick me up on your way!

[Phil]

Salmon tonight.

[Félix]

Leftover turkey.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Quinoa with green onions, parsley (the last two vegetables I have on hand), and a delicate buttermilk vinaigrette.

[Helena]

tuna puttanesca (I ran out of food).

[Helena]

Peanut butter & jelly works. That's tonight's dinner.

[[deleted user]]

popcorn

[Cynthia]

Corned beef and cabbage.

[Phil]

I'm thinking maybe some pork fried rice for tonight.

[[deleted user]]

canned potato soup

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

A banana, some macadamia crackers, some almonds. Too lazy to put anything together.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Is that from the east coast of India? As opposed to, say, Mumbai?

Shit, I'm hungry. The banana with honey and peanut butter didn't do it for me.

[[deleted user]]

I am having fish and chips for dinner.

[Helena]

Pad Thai... I had PB & J as a pre-dinner snack.

[Sarah]

mmm. pad thai.

I will be eating split pea soup with sweet potatoes and sauteed brussel sprouts. I bought it two days ago from my favorite soup place because I knew I wouldn't have time to cook. I think I even have some good crusty bread.

[[deleted user]]

i'll have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or two...

[Heidi]

Sleep. I'm going to go straight to bed. I'm too tired to do much of anything else, you know... like eat.

Wait. SHIT! I promised my friend I'd be at her b-day party tonight. It's at a Mexican restaurant. I'll probably have some Mexican food and THEN go to bed.

[Sarah]

Yeah, I'd love to go to sleep early tonight, but I have studio time starting at 7:30.

[Phil]

Tri-tip.
