What's for dinner?

Tonight we're having Moroccan. It's been in the slow cooker since lunch time and the smell is driving me crazy.

 

what is Moroccan?

 

Now I feel hungry...

 

Last night was salad, stuffed mushrooms and Spanish rice.

Haven't decided yet but breakfast was poached eggs & avocado on rye toast, orange slices and turkey bacon. Just had a smothered chicken breast and sweet potato rounds with cinnamon and ginger for lunch.

 

Going to the grandparents to eat. Might be lasagna.

 

We are having a local slow cooker dish basically ham, green beans, and potatoes cooked in a crockpot with ham broth... it great to use up leftover Easter ham

 

moroccan....mmmm. i'm drooling now. I have no idea what i'm having for dinn. last night it was spaghetti.....personally not my fave, but the hubby likes it. I really need to dig out my slow cooker and actually put it to use. I always have plans for cooking, but it rarely happens. booo

 

Clam chowder tonight!!!

 

Tonight's menu features asian marinated sirloin tips and steamed broccolI over jasmine rice.....

 

I am not cooking tonight, but I will be preping the pizza dough for homemade chicago deep dish pizza on Friday.

 

OK. Did I switch to my weight watchers site by mistake? LOL

 

Tuna cakes. Use the same recipe as crab cakes but sub canned tuna and you have tuna cakes. Lot more economical than crab cakes all the time.

Probably with buttered rice and some still TBD veg.

No, couldn't be that, I wouldn't fit in there. Normally I make dinner from scratch every day... too much real buter for wieght watchers...

Boy I wish I had the time to do that. I cook for the week on Sundays.

I used to do that when I worked second shift, saved a lot of money on food that way, used the divided plate containers and made homemade tv dinners. I useually would make a couple of slow cooked meates that I could serve more than one way (i.e. slow cooked pork butt became pork tacos, bbqed pulled pork and pot roast) to save time.

Now I am on third shift now so I get off work in the morning, go to bed and cook dinner when I wake up in the afternoon.

mmmmm real butter. i'm all for real ingredients....none of that weird, fake stuff. why are people so afraid of real stuff?

 

what is Moroccan?

Moroccan is rather mild and is used great on lamb, sometimes chicken, anything you think it will suit really. Mine last night was a sauce that simmered in the croc pot for about 5 hours and had cumin, paprika, Roma tomatoes and a few miscellaneous other, like flour to thicken the sauce etc. common Moroccan herbs are coriander, rosemary, paprika, cumin, salt & pepper and sometimes even honey. It's a fantastic food. I was going to use lamb shanks for last night but used sausages instead. Worked superbly, served with mashed spuds and corn kernels. I'd love to go to morocco one day to absorb the art, architecture and food. It would be just plain incredible.


Not sure what I'll do for tonight. I just had leftovers for lunch so I'm out of inspiration, lol.

 

Dinner tonight:

...... Oatmeal.


Zen, that sounds FABULOUS!!!!

 

I had pork tenderloin with a baked potato and green beans.

 

after work gonna have homemade fresh cornbread, fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy... can't wait

 

Good morning,

Well tonight it was take-away Chinese for the humans in the house.

Fresh puppy mince and vegetables for the dogs.

Tetra Colour flakes for the Freshwater community

Reef-roids for the corals
Mysis Shrimp for the Saltwater fish
Pellets for the Saltwater inverts.



Seriously, the animals in the house probably have a better diet than the humans

 

Having cereal tonight. I did the grocery shopping so I'm rather knackered.

Chinese is pretty good, Ryan! I adore Chinese food. I think I was Chinese in a past life. And sometimes wish I were in this
life so I could eat it without my family squawking in my ear that I eat it too much!

 

Do you guys have american chinese food down there? Or chinese chinese food?

It's sad we have to ask LOL. Korean, Vietnamese, Indian, to a lessor extent japanese can all get along fine with authentic or fairly close to authentic food.

I honestly think an authentic Chinese place, without the standard American Chinese items, wouldnt last long outside of a dense Chinese population.

I agree on both counts.

 

I'd kill for some *real* Asian food! My one hope for real Chinese food moved away, and I don't see him any more... :/ I went to this restraunt that was, I think, ThaI (it was a long time ago!), and it was really good, even to a 12 year old Not sure if it was authentic or not, as I don't even know the name of the place, but from what I can recall, I think it was. Or at least very close.

I've never, to me knowledge, eaten Korean, Vietnamese, or Indian food, but I've had our pathetic American excuses of Chinese, Japanese and Thai.

 

even to a 12 year old Not sure if it was authentic or not, as I don't even know the name of the place, but from what I can recall, I think it was. Or at least very close.

I'm impressed that at a mere 12 years old you had the culinary experience to differentiate

Then again, I'm often amazed at the fishkeeping experience some 12 year olds have

My family likes to eat Its a miracle I'm not fat XD At the time, I didn't think anything of it (it was just another cool restraunt the family wanted to try), but as I said, looking back now... But yeah, we're always looking for cool new places to eat. We don't care what country its from, as long it tastes good! But I really like Asian food =3

 

So what's your favorite?

 

You're asking me, the lover of all things eatable (except most veggies, and fish) what my favorite is?? LOL I've never been unhappy with any Asian-type food I've ever tried, except this one time, we were at a fancy restraunt (Asian Fusion, I think it was called. Its on the 6th floor of this AWESOME Holliday Inn in Ocala. All the rooms have TempurPedic beds *.*), and there was this mystery substance that we all thought was a mushroom, so I ate it and was actually a really hot pepper @.@ Never ate so much rice and downed so much water in my life!!!!

So, yeah. Pretty much everything I come across gets a chance. Unless it looks *reeeeeeally* nasty (like fish, served whole, or caviar, or escargot @.@). I like to eat

 

This is what I made for Easter. Super thick country style pork ribs smoked with apple wood and hickory. I made a dry rub for it then glazed it with honey after a few hours on the smoker. So Epic

 

That's looks gooooooood! *.*

 

I meant which of the asian cuisines

I still can't pick a favorite! Mostly because I've never tried more than one authentic restraunt of each type I've tried.... I will say, though, there's a really awesome Japanese steakhouse back home, and even though most of the people aren't Japanese anymore (Silly Americans! Go work at McDonald's!), that place is always packed, and SUPER amazing and delicious >=3 Its one of the places where they cook it all in front of you, at your table, and put on a big show, and make corny jokes (like say "egg roll" and spin an egg :rolleyes, but OMG, best place to eat in town. I don't even know how 'authentic' or not their recipes are, but I don't care *.* If I had the $20 a meal to eat there breakfast, lunch and dinner every day for the rest of my life, I totally would! If you ever come down to Florida, go to Venice and eat at Shoguns =D

 

I like Chinese food because I'm 100% Chinese!

 

best place to eat in town.

There's a chinese food place here on the island (we have 3) by that name
