Food What's For Dinner Tonight?

pasta and cheese sauce (probably using the same method I probably described before... didnt enjoy it much but thats more to do with having a belly ache than suddenly not liking my favourite meal)

 

chicken curry, dahl and some veggies.

 

Pulled Pork from a pork roast in the slow cooker...this is so simple...2 large onions, pork roast, bbq sauce and a bottle of ginger ale.
Cut onions in 3/8" slices, put one in the cooker ( I always use a liner to make cleanup easy) put the roast (about 2 1/2 pounds) in, then the other sliced onion over the roast, pour the ginger ale over...cook low for 6 hours....remove meat and onions, shread the meat with 2 forks, pour off the liquid, put the onion and shreaded meat back in the cooker, pour about a 1/3 of the bottle of sauce over it, cook for another 3 hours...done...

 

With the PULLED PORK it's
COLESLAW (NO MAYO)

1 small green Cabbage, sliced thin
6 Scallions, sliced thin
3 Carrots, grated....mix together

In a bowl mix 1 cup of Sour cream, 3 TBS Red wine vinegar, 2 TSP Caraway seeds,
Put all the first 3 items in a large bowl, along with 1 cup raisins (I like golden for the color),
pour the mixed liquid over the cabbage mixture add some Kosher salt and pepper to taste,
mix well, refrigerate for a few hours to meld..... WHY BUY COLESLAW this is so easy, no chemicals...

 

Poor S has a massive ear infection and coudln't chew anything, so he had two sweet potatoes that I baked for him.
I had a repulsive Florida avocado with onion and spices spread on toast with two slices of grilled tomato. It was awful.

 

Tonight was an 'I don't really feel like eating but I suppose I should' night.
Bread, butter, potato chips and tomato juice. But I did have a great time chatting with my friend on the phone while I was eating it. She has a new kitteh, and it is likely to get along OK with the dog. THAT's what I want to remember from this meal!!

 

Beef and Barley soup....

 

tuna on crackers. eh.

 

Chicken avocado salad and home made corn bread from one of my favorite diners Lucky Platter. It's good to be home.

 

something to do with beef. Not sure yet, but I have to take something out of the freezer before I go to work.

 

Found this recipe....
SHRIMP FRIED RICE 2 Servings
1 cup Water
1/2 cup uncooked Brown Rice
2 TSP EVOO
2 oz Onion diced
1 clove Garlic diced

Beat Egg with Hoisin pour into skillet with all above, cook and stir till egg is cooked
Add rice to skillet mix completely until all moisture has been absorbed....

I'll comment on this after dinner...it's a new recipe to me

 

It turned out excellent, just neded a bit of salt and pepper, I used a whole package of BIRDS EYE Steamfresh Fresh Frozen Vegetables (I didn't use the Citrus Sauce)
( how can frozen vegetables be fresh?)

 

Quite possibly the most disgusting frozen dinner ever
Consistency of baby shit, barely formed patties that were mushy and pasty at the same time.
Smelled yummy, but was so horrifying that I threw it away before I could throw it up.
I had a 100-calorie bag of Redenbacher's natural lime and salt popcorn. And a cup of sweetened, vanilla almond milk.
And a whiskey glass of Cigar City Jai Alai beer.
