What's for Dinner, Thurs., Mar. 14, 2019

Beef stew, again. This is another one, not a re-heat. I think the RG is hung up on beef stew. I have never eaten so many beef stews in my life as this winter. Oh well, I tasted it and it's very good. It was made in the slow cooker.

For an appetizer, naan bread with avocado. The avocado mix has red onion, little bits of pepper, and some cherry tomato. It's spicy.

Shrimp salad. This is with romaine, butterleaf lettuce, hard boiled egg, celery, and sliced cucumber.

Dessert will be one of the following: I went to Trader Joe's yesterday and bought almost everything on the display of new products. There are chocolate meringue cookies. Milk chocolate honey toffee pecans. I also bought a pumpkin pie, which we could have either with whipped cream or ice cream. It will be one of those items, but I'm not sure which at the moment.




p. s. they also have some new snacks which are "barbecue popped ridges." They are a combo potato/corn chip. The package claims "tangy," and they certainly are.

I’m making an asparagus/Parmesan quiche, mixed greens salad with dried cranberries, walnuts and a homemade balsamic-maple dressing.

I’m making an extra pie shell, but will roll it out, add some butter, sprinkle some cinnamon/sugar mixture, roll it into a log, bake it, then sit down with these little circles of deliciousness and some Moroccan tea.

I think I'd like to have had your meal tonight--the quiche, the salad, and oh, the tea and cinnamon/sugar delicacies!

I tried with the roast beef but could only have about half of my serving. I really and truly have had enough.

They were huge! Remember when Fred Flintstone went to the restaurant and the pile of ribs tipped the table? That's how large these Jurassic babies were.

Roughly mashed potatoes and pan-fried green beans along with a small salad rounded out the meal. A friend gave us a box of small gourmet cupcakes for our dessert.

We washed it all down with a bottle of too-expensive Champagne.

It was a delicious dinner on the evening of my marriage to the Landlady(!).

We're very happy together. The Landlady(!) is more of a foodie than most of us on your threads!

Have a great weekend.

Notice how I slipped that tidbit in at the end? (wink)

We're going to the south of France next week to visit the Roman ruins and eat the foods of Provence. Can't wait!

Enjoy your weekend, elleng.

Good food is one of the staples of our life together and the Landlady(!) knows how to do amazing things with whatever odds and ends are in the fridge. We both love to cook then eat well.

Your stir-fry sounded delicious and easy. Have a nice weekend!

Green beans and ground pork. Sauce was water, soy, sesame oil salad dressing with shitake and sweetened with brown sugar.
Over jasmine rice.
Made an apple crisp yesterday so will have some of that with ice cream.
The apples are the last of what I put in the freezer in the fall. Easy fixin cuz all the hard parts were completed months ago. Yay!
