What’s for Dinner Tonight?

[NYCgrrl]

t dogs…just 4 hot dogs on a plate with a squirt of mustard. I’ll let you guess who had what.

Back in the day, I could only tell by the traces of mustard on the plate in the sink. Yellow? A youngun.
Brown? An old child.

Tonight will be Split Pea soup.....I'll make it in the Instant Pot

Stayed home from work today. I just couldn’t fall asleep last night due to the congestion. Guess I’m not able to push through as much as I once was! All this from a simple cold! Not even Covid. A head cold.
Anyway, I made pulled Buffalo chicken for sandwiches. It’s ready to go for the boys in case I’m not feeling up to cooking later. And we have fries in the freezer that we can throw in the air fryer.

Shaved ham on pretzel rolls with melted Swiss.

Lazy day. Nothing in particular was accomplished but it all felt good.
Made some garlic soup and added cauliflower and peas just because they were there.
Finally, the end of the poached pears! Added champagne again and then a drizzle of cream de cassis. Nice.

Steak and bowtie buttered noodles.

We had leftovers tonight. I needed to clean out the fridge.

 

[RangerPooh]

Frozen lasagna. Kept it simple

Yesterday I put bean soup on the crockpot and then made cornbread when I got home from work.

Tonight will be fettuccine alfredo. Very simple and delicious but so so bad for you, so I don't make it very often.

Crockpot.

At least, that's what my family always called it, as it was the only thing they cooked in the crockpot. It's probably more appropriately called pot roast: beef (this time a rump roast), potatoes, carrots and onions in the crockpot with a bit of water, some salt, pepper and garlic and a few bay leaves. Just right for a blustery day.

@WorldWacky I, too, have been home for the last three days with a cold- not even covid- that my students have shared. I'm on the mend (actually worked about a 1/2 day today) but there is no way I could have worked on Wednesday and Thursday- from a cold!

Anyhow.. dinner was supposed to be homemade tomato-basil soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, but due to weather and schedule changes, that was Thursday's dinner. Therefore, tonight we'll have the stouffer's lasagna that was supposed to be for last night, along with bagged Ceasar salad and a loaf of french bread. Everyone is busy, and the day runs late for DH and DD, on Thursdays so we try to do something very easy; easy prep, easy clean up. Hence the frozen lasagna and bagged salad.

Taking a page from your book, @NYCgrrl ... I dragged myself thru Sam's yesterday after going to the doctor. They had beautifully ripe Bartlett pears, 9 to a box for $5. Several have already been eaten, but we'll poach the other 6 in a nice red wine, either tonight or tomorrow, for a real treat. Of course, there are 5 of us, so I don't anticipate we'll be enjoying them for quite as long as you did!

I am also fighting a cold. I was supposed to meet my cousin for happy hour and was going to bring a pizza home but we rescheduled. DH is fending for himself he grilled a burger, no idea what he had with it. I’m not feeling hungry but will have some toast to have something in me before I take some meds. Hoping I’ll feel better in the morning. Tomorrow is friend’s Thanksgiving and I’m hoping to go.

I am also battling a cold.....'tis the season.
Mine came from DH....at least I got home from DLR first.
I ended up having chicken noodle soup.

Our weather is rain-windy and filled with wispy steam clouds from the chimneys of the neighboring oil burners.
So spent the day, organizing and re-labeling my pantry goods. The idea is to finish the holiday baking by the first week of December and it seems like we’ll be on track. Also trying to acclimate my home attendant to my way of working in the kitchen which is methodical but not a something everyone follows.

Apparently, in anticipation of avoiding whatever is laying some posters low (Stay well and away from me said with nothing but love ), I added more garlic sautéed in olive oil to tonight’s veggie fortified garlic soup leftovers. Also a handful of remaining baby spinach leaves. Finishing the half bottle of Champagne tonight for dessert and ordering another to take on vacation; hope the shop still has it since we’re getting close to their busy season.

If you are looking to try something new and local for the holiday season I highly recommend Sparkling Pointe they are on Long Island but I have bought it a liquor stores in NYC. It is where I did the wine and sparkling sampler last weekend.

Trying to downsize groceries/ frig items as we are soon leaving town, so used flour, milk, eggs etc to make crepes.
I’ll be honest… they weren’t the most delicate but they were functional and a treat actually. Spread with a Lingonberry something or other (jam?), so not bad.

Visions of IHOP dancing in your head?

That is SO funny because I just bought a Target IHOP card to bring to FL as we do go there for breakfast! Ha.
