Oh, that looks like so much fun. I would rather be doing that now.

[Effyocouch]

Italian BBQ chicken over polenta.

We had a great time. The weather was perfect, the kids ran all over the place exploring, and I met a few new people. One gentleman grew up in Berlin and remembers being 10 years old when the city was being bombed in WWII. The kids would go out afterward and collect the splinters (small hunks of metal) because they were needed for the war effort.

Cashew chicken at Panda Inn, where there was a wild group of women having dinner in a private room, making a huge racket -- standing on chairs to make toasts, and generally yelling and cackling.

I didn't mind, though.

[Michele]

either pasta salad or baked haddock.

[janine]

soup and a chicken ragout patty

tagliatelle with salmon and mushrooms and a salad with apple

icecream sprinkled with honey on a waffle with fresh strawberries

I'm going to try grilled mahi mahi tonight.

[Michele]

this sunday is comfort food: meatloaf, mashed potatos, carrots.

[Cynthia]

The beef brisket I braised in red wine last night.

[Sarah]

Tonight's the beginning of passover. First seder at my aunt's house. She's a fantastic cook.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Salad with beets, feta, green peppers, chickpeas, sunflower seeds, broccoli, red onion.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Steak nachos.

[[deleted user]]

An apple.

[Helena]

Grilled cheese.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Me, too!

[Phil]

It's taco night.

That grilled cheese thread got me craving! I didn’t have a fancy one though... plain old cheddar cheese with a salad... But so good!

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

[image error]

Dinner! It was delicious, cheddar with tomato and basil, and lots of butter on the outside of the bread.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I have those bowls from Crate and Barrel (the green one in the background).

Jackie should post a picture of her dinner every night.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Thanks, LG and Bun! You're invited over for grilled cheese anytime! :)

And yes, LG, that bowl is from a set from Crate and Barrel. I love them, because they remind me of my mom's old Pyrex set of colored bowls. She only has the big yellow one anymore.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Is that homemade soup? Do you have the recipe?

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

LG, I have to admit that it is not homemade soup, but doctored up Campbells Tomato. I made it with mostly nonfat milk and a little half and half, basil, thyme, and dashes of garlic and onion powder.

My ex has an absolutely amazing recipe for homemade tomato soup, starting with a roux with onions sauteeing in the butter, and a whole can of tomato juice, that I really need to get from him. But it makes way too much for a single person.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

It looks really tasty for canned. Mmm.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Add half and half to any milk based soup, and it is suddenly pretty damn good!

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Great idea.

[Michele]

made my version of sweet & sour chicken last night. served it with buttered noodles. no leftovers.

[Sarah]

Black beans with kale and brown rice. The beans are spiced with chipotle and a little maple syrup - hot with a touch of sweet.

Wait, I'm confusticated, is there a recipe box? Or is that just for cake?"

I don't care WHERE you post it, I've been looking for a great tomato soup recipe for ages.

*bounces knee while waiting*

[janine]

fussili with mushrooms.

[Jim]

Is your knee detachable, and somewhat rubbery?

[[deleted user]]

Grilled cheese.

[Sarah]

Jammies' knee is grilled cheese?
My right wrist is toast, so I guess that's allowed.

[Helena]

@ Bun: That tomato soup sounds delicious- do you know how it freezes? Sans yogurt & cream? I always have a bumper crop of tomatoes at the end of the season & I can only make so much tomato sauce!
--

I would like to have grilled cheese for dinner again tonight- but I’m going to make cream of mushroom soup & salad instead.

[~Geektastic~]

Sounds delicious. I don't think I've prepared a meal from an actual recipe for months, I'm a fridge scavenger.

Excellent! Thanks, Bun :D

I should be more specific; we keep a lot of frozen and instant foods in our fridge. Plus, we have roommates, so everyone shares what they have.

Fortunately, I don't have to resort to chugging ketchup out of the bottle, lol.

That is the tricky part.

[~Geektastic~]

I haven't been out of college for very long, so I still tend to eat like a poor student: spagetti-os, cup-o-soup, macaroni and cheese from a box, etc. I used to love cooking real food, but I'm just too wiped except on the weekends, and even then it only gets as complicated as bacon and eggs.

Also, Michaelangelo's frozen foods are super good, with real ingredients and tons of veggies.

[Cynthia]

Super convenient AND not icky = Impossible dream? What say you...

[Cynthia]

ACK! (*hairball noise*) Spaghetti-Os? You don't really like them, do you Amber?

[Jim]

I feel your arteries hardening from all the sodium as I read this.

[Cynthia]

Sorry Amber, I didn't mean to be such a bitchy food snob. I can't help myself some times.

Cynthia wrote: "ACK! (*hairball noise*) Spaghetti-Os? You don't really like them, do you Amber?"

I do! It's probably nostalgia more than actual preference. And I don't mind (about the food snob thing), I used to be a lot pickier about my food until I got a job that keeps me away from home for twelve hours a day; after that, I just don't want to cook.

[~Geektastic~]

Jim wrote: I feel your arteries hardening from all the sodium as I read this.

Lol. I do eat somewhat healthy foods for breakfast and lunch (like salads and oatmeal, etc), it's mostly just dinner than is so bad for me.

[Jim]

Good to know Amber.

[~Geektastic~]

Thanks to our conversation, I am making "real" food for dinner tonight (steak, potatoes and veggies). Thanks for the motivation!

[Jim]

I am proud of you Amber.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Good for you, Amber!
Tonight I will be having ravioli and broccoli, and I'm realizing my diet consists largely of cheese and tomato combinations. And sometimes eggs. :)
