What's on the dinner table tonight? - Page 14

EvilPrincess · 06-07-2006, 05:39 PM

Dinner out-

An Alabama Mexican Restaurant owned by an El Salvadoran, but really it is pretty tasty. My choices for the evening-

Chips and fresh salsa (extra salt added by me )
Carne Asada
Guacamole Salad
Refried Beans
Rice

Gallons of tea (damn salty chips)

Guess what is for lunch tomorrow? (see above)

mossystate · 06-07-2006, 07:12 PM

Sketty......easy...lots of parmesan cheese.....salad of orange pepper, red leaf lettuce, cuke, tomato.....

Miss Vickie · 06-07-2006, 07:17 PM

Asian-ey, chicken-ey, asparagas-ey sesame cold noodle salad. Recipe here. It's very good.

MisticalMisty · 06-07-2006, 07:36 PM

ribs, brisket, beans, coleslaw, potato salad..from the Blue Pig..

OMG>.so freaking good..lol

Fuzzy · 06-07-2006, 08:30 PM

Originally, It was going to be soft flour tacos. But my tortillas were moldy.
I had a bag of yellow corn tortilla chips, so I was going to go with taco salad, but I was out of salad, and out of cheese.

Poor planning.

So I ended up having leftovers.

jamie · 06-08-2006, 07:24 AM

Gnocchi bake (gnocchi, vodka sauce, ricotta cheese, mozzarella, italian sausage with green peppers and onions that had been sauteed with garlic and hot sauce).

Steamed broccoli.

Dessert: 2 little Breyers Carb-Smart ice cream sandwiches.

jamie · 06-08-2006, 07:27 AM

SVS - I noticed in your pic that you had the Virgil's Rootbeer.... is that any good, I saw it at our local co-op and was tempted by it. For some reason I am now craving really cold root beer.

Brandi · 06-08-2006, 07:43 AM

I'm making chili with ground beef, tomatoes, and beans - make it nice and thick...for my chili dogs tonight!

Jamie, I bought some of those Breyer Carb-smart Ice Cream Sandwiches and while they taste SOOO good and creamy, you're lucky to get maybe. what, two bites?

Indeed, which required that I eat 2! I think that kind of negates the deal, but, they are so tiny.

The numbers aren't bad though... 2 is only 160 calories and I think 18 carbs, so that is still really good. I also like their almond bars. Have you tried those? I saw the other day WW has an ice cream cone, low sugar deal and I have been sorely tempted.

Peppers aside, that sounds so good! Did you use Trader Joe's vodka sauce? That stuff is amazing.

Sometimes I wonder if my tastebuds are deficient. To be honest, when I made my root beer float the other day, the soda tasted like...root beer.

Then I went to their site and read about it, and said..."damn! This should be amazing." So last night I opened a cold bottle (this time without ice cream) and sipped it slowly, trying to discern the marvelous ingredients they touted.

Still tasted like...root beer. Nothing exotic. It didn't knock my socks off.

I mean, it was good root beer, but I wouldn't lay out the extra bucks for it again.

If you decide to try it, let me know if you have a better experience with it.

Did you get some of the teeny dry ravioli they usually sell along side of it? They're only about 1/2" square when cooked? That's what I've had it on and it's fantastic. Hope you like your sauce.

TheSadeianLinguist · 06-08-2006, 12:58 PM

Corona Extra, and nachos. Later for the "official" dinner will be a giggling phone conversation as the result of sitting around sipping beer all day.

MLadyJ · 06-08-2006, 01:20 PM

Tonight is...Massaman curry (thai dish made with chicken, potatoes and onions) served with steamed rice and watermelon for dessert.

I actually bought the lobster ravs in the refrigerated section. Never tried those either. I didn't see the teeny dry ones! I will look for them.

Hmm..sounds like maybe I should make this for dinner!

ScreamingChicken · 06-08-2006, 04:08 PM

It was supposed to be cheese ravioli topped with parmesean garlic cream sauce and chicken sauteed in olive oil, garlic, and oregano.

Reality is I mutilated the sauce and tossed the ravioli and chicken together with some olive oil and parmesean.

Nope. Wild Oat's store brand. Not as good as the Bertolli we have been using...I think we have become spoiled to it. I have to say, it would have been better withOUT the peppers. I didn't like it as much tonight for left-overs, but I think I had reached my tomato sauce limit.

**SoVerySoft** · 06-08-2006, 05:19 PM

What a surprise, I had lobster ravioli with TJ's vodka sauce. And a can of "Trade Giotto's" grapefruit soda.

The ravs were blah. The sauce pretty good! My roomie loooooooved the sauce!

Maybe I wasn't in a saucy enough mood...

Here's the obligatory photo:

MissToodles · 06-08-2006, 06:17 PM

Their vodka sauce never mingled with the pasta I purchased. Over a two day period, I ate the sauce, bit by bit with a spoon.

tonight: grilled chicken sandwich on whole wheat bread from school cafeteria. it was eh.

frankly, my tummy's been bothering me since dinner. could have been the pasta. could have been the fact that it was 2-1/2 servings that I ate by myself. lol

Fuzzy · 06-08-2006, 08:28 PM

I keep forgettin pictures.

Tonight was chinese take-out: hot-n-sour soup, potstickers, creamcheese wontons, lemon chicken, pork lo mein, pork crispy-fried noodles, white rice, and the most sinful devil's food cake on the planet.

Santaclear · 06-08-2006, 10:04 PM

I want one of each of what everyone on the Food threads is having.

But that's nothing new.

MisticalMisty · 06-08-2006, 11:33 PM

I got to have PIZZA..I was so freaking excited and it was so damn good.

My educator person said I can have 50 carbs at each meal..I'm choosing wisely..lol

Go me!
