Whats for Dinner in this December 2014?

NormM wrote:Jimmy, I have had some good food there before but not so much this time. I didn't care for the tomato sauce taste and there was too much of it.  The next time I have lasagna, I will make it myself.  

Norm, the kids took us to one O G once. There was nothing I liked. The macaroni was way overcooked, and they must have forgot to salt the boiling water.

I prefer "Macaroni Grill" food items!

I had three things on my plate. One was lasagna. If they had put that in front of me and asked me to guess what it was, I would not have been able to.

Years ago in Manhattan Ks, there was a restaurant called JD's. I think it stood for Joe DiMaggio. The food tasted like frozen TV dinners. It didn't stay open very long. I think it is a taco stand now.

I like the Italian restaurant Zio's better.

I made a roasted chicken breast on a bed of homemade dressing and some green beans for supper. Then Dane called and said his group of golfers was stopping at a country club for a bite to eat...or a few cocktails is more likely! So, the chicken and dressing and green beans will be supper for another night. I'll survive on leftovers, which is just fine with me.

We'll both be full and happy. And my meal is all ready to go whenever I decide to reheat it.

Going to my sister's for dinner, I think she said she's making prime rib. YUMMMM!

Well, I hope her's is as wonderful tasting as the one we cooked for our Christmas dinner. Yummy!

Well.... Tina and Gabe had chicken breast cooked at the market.
Corn....and mashed potatoes...

Jimmy here, had 1/2 a head of cauliflower steamed, salted and peppered; with small bread roll and butter; with two slices of salami in between. Cookies for dessert...

Tina is making some kind of mushroom dip, with cheese and ground up mushrooms, and mayo.
It calls for 2 cups ( TWO CUPS ) of mayo. No no no no no!!!!!..... I told her to cut it to 1 cup.
It's in the oven baking now. I'm sure we will try it, soon as it's done!

We had breakfast for dinner: eggs benedict followed by bloody Mary's for dessert.

We sampled it. It's like chewing on a hunk of salty cheese.
Dipping / scooping with crackers.
Way too salty for me. The roof of my mouth is burning.

Your soup and bread looks like the perfect cool weather meal, Imelda! Unless you open a can of soup to heat up on the stove, you certainly cannot expect it to last ~ YOUR soup is much too tasty. lol

Funny, but I was just talking about making a pot of potato soup yesterday. But then I got busy on getting the ham broth ready for cooking my New Year's Day greens that I forgot all about it.

I made loaded baked potato soup 2 days ago. It is that time of year when comfort food just hits the spot.

I think it is a burger night. It is cold here and we got a surprise during the night: snow.

" />rprise during the night: snow.

Everyone's talk of soup made me hungry for some. I am making potato soup that uses bacon, milk, green onions, sour cream and cheese. I cut the amount of potatoes by one and made up the volume with ham and red bell pepper. Maybe for leftovers, I'll add corn and maybe some andouille sausage.

Bugster, at least you get to enjoy the snow from afar and don't have to shovel it to get out of the driveway.

I'll bet that was a BIG surprise for you! I know the people around here get all upset when the temperature drops to less than 50°....Mr. Amazing, most of all. ((What a wimp))

But, hey, I guess I shouldn't criticize him. He did put up with last winter's horrible weather in Ohio while I sat around here in my flip flops!

Great lookin soup Norm. Especially the pepper crunch surprises.

Made a pot of meatballs and sausage and pork cubes in tomato sauce. Cooking slow slow.
Fried some meatballs and been nibbling on them. I had a sausage link on a 1/2 kaiser roll.
That was it. Tina and Gabe had chicken breast. Beans, and sweet taters,
I'm ready for a Crown Royal Black, and Ginger ale. Nothing happening for the Eve tonight.

Son Jimmy and wife are in Las Vegas...
