Anybody having a good dinner?

[SacredCow]

Not me. Morningstar Farms Corn Dogs was about all I could get up the energy for, as I ponder all that must be done to prepare for the possibility of that betch Gustav....

I need another drink....

[Fran Kubelik]

1. I made a salad with bibb lettuce and baby spinach

I made a creamy spinach salad dressing, sliced up some tomatoes out of my garden, added some green onions and some sauteed chicken breasts.

It was really good.

Are you in Gustav's path? :hug:

[SacredCow]

4. According to the latest predictions, yes...

but I'm inland. It'll be an inconvenience more than dangerous.

I have a few people from NOLA booked to stay with us, if need be. 2 Chefs, actually- I'll make them cook for their lodging and do better than fake corn dogs! LOL

[1gobluedem]

2. I just had a hot dog

Someone called and talked my ear off right as I was about to see what I could fix.

[SacredCow]

6. I hate that...

and it's usually when I have already decided to make something fairly ambitious, too...

Oh, and it's usually someone from work asking a stupid question....

[Mutley]

3. Oh, it was so healthy...

French fries with melted cheddar. :D

[SacredCow]

5. Oh, man... Cheese Fries!!!!!

I remember being able to eat cheese fries without gaining 50 lbs... x(

[Mutley]

19. Trust me

I can only eat like that once in a great while, but when I do I make sure it's yummay!

[SacredCow]

20. I lived on cheese fries when I was a poor college student...

smothered in ranch dressing... DEEEEE lish!

I'd be sick for days, now. That's what 15 years and Lipitor does, I'm afraid.... LOL

[Mutley]

39. Haha!

My stomach may react badly, too, but oh well!

[SeattleGirl]

7. My pizza is almost ready.

:9

[KamaAina]

8. Have you been posting in GD-Poo again??

:P

[SeattleGirl]

11. ROFL!!!!

:rofl:

[SacredCow]

12. That was lunch for me...

Had to spend an extra 30 mins on the treadmill for that indulgence... :(

[bicentennial_baby]

9. If Sniffa gets off his appreciation thread and cooks for me, yes

:eyes:

[SacredCow]

10. What's he supposed to cook? n/t

[bicentennial_baby]

13. Cheeseburgers and Fries

:)

With Provolone :9

[SacredCow]

14. Yummmmm....

I loves me a good burger.... Nice and rare with a thick slice of tomato...

But the pseudo corn dogs were all I could muster....

[TommyO]

15. A quiche is in the oven right now!

Yes, it's too damned late to be making and eating it, but I had all of the goodies, and I won't mind it cold tomorrow.

[SacredCow]

16. That sounds good, too....

I'm regretting being lazy, now....

[TommyO]

40. UGH, it was delicious, I ate too much of it!

It really wasn't that hard to make either, and it turned out fantastic (it was the first time I tried this recipe)

[av8rdave]

17. I made dinner tonight....

T-Bone steaks tenderized with crushed fresh black pepper, grilled with a Bordeaux wine reduction, baked potato, and fresh asparagus grilled with olive oil and toasted sesame seed.

It was pretty tasty!

[SacredCow]

18. sheesh......

I'm beginning to hate you all!!!!!

Just kidding, of course..... sounds wonderful. Maybe this weekend I'll have a "empty the fridge/freezer before it all spoils" party...."

[av8rdave]

24. Believe me, that's not the norm....

We just both had an evening free together.

[SacredCow]

25. Nothing better than a home-grilled steak...

Restaurants, in my experience, always screw them up....

[av8rdave]

26. There are a handful that get it right...but they are the exception

[SacredCow]

27. I'll eat them anywhere from medium-rare to medium well...

but it's seldom that i actually get one the way I order it (which is usually medium-rare). So I stopped and just cook them myself, and eat chicken when I go out!

[av8rdave]

28. Good strategy! There is one steakhouse near my house that usually gets it right...

But they are pricey!

[dropkickpa]

21. metocloprimide and percoset

yum.

[Stump]

22. Chicken & Xanax

And a whole fuckin' pint of Ben & Jerry's. Guess who's despressed? Maybe this Obama speech will cheer me up.

[SacredCow]

23. I think the question is...

what flavor of B&J?

And why so down, Charlie Brown?

[Stump]

29. Chunky Monkey

Self induced stress. I'll get over it. Amazing how much better I feel already after about 1200 calories and a chill pill. ;-)

[SacredCow]

30. 1200 calories....

yeah, I used to be able to do that....

[bicentennial_baby]

33. Best flavor ever!

:bounce:

[Gormy Cuss]

31. Yes. Homemade baba ganoush and Greek salad.

If I hadn't made the baba ahead of time it would have been takeout because it's really hot here today.

[ThomCat]

32. There is a cafe in my neighborhood that specializes in

feeding people with dietary restrictions. The owner can't eat corn or gluten. They have a special vegetarian/vegan menu, and I've seen them make special meals on the spot for people. Great place.

I had a vegan Burrito with wild grain rice and edemame in it. :9

[SacredCow]

34. A burrito with edemame?

interesting... I LOVE edemame. whenever i go for sushi, I nearly fill up on it as an appetizer...

[ThomCat]

35. I definitely recommend it!

It has a very different texture than using pinto or kidney beens. :9

Or stop by this way and I'll take you out to dinner at the cafe. :7

[SacredCow]

36. Since my Southern Decadence plans are now totally off...

I'm considering the notiong of a New York Trip in the fall...

[ThomCat]

37. Woo Hoo!

[SacredCow]

42. Yeah, I've never been....

So there's a lot I'll need to see...

[Rhythm]

38. Oktoberain, OktoberKid, and I are having dinner with LeftyClimber and BetaBen tonight...

We're hanging out at their place so we can watch the Convention with other people willing to clap and cheer in the livingroom, just like us. :-)

Ben did the cooking: Oven-fried chicken (no cornflakes *L*), roasted garlic and rosemary potatoes, and glazed carrots. :9

[last_texas_dem]

41. Does Taco Bell count?

(If not, it should! haha)
