What's for Dinner? - Page 28

Ha! I'm with you. I made 8 quarts of wild mushroom & veggie soup today with whatever I had.
Considering I used stuff I had on hand and just winged it, I feel like I made 6 meals for two for basically nothing.
It was teh yummeh! Froze 4 quarts and gave one to my neighbor who has been begging me for some of my shrooms..

Wrong 'shrooms, dude.

classicman · 10-29-2011, 07:09 PM

Well not for me. This particular species is called Grifola frondosa. I have gotten more this year than I can ever recall. I have about 30-40 lbs vacuum sealed, labeled and frozen. I also dried a few this year for the first time. I've had a great season and at $20+ per lb. I can eat well and they haven't cost me a dime (other than driving to hike about for them)

Dazza made a really nice pasta with prawns and italian herbs and grilled capsicum and olives. A little chilli too. It was good. Even better that I didn't cook it.

Looks like a lot of us had the same idea - I made beef stew on a whim tonight

Tonight we had chilli beef and rice, with a side of corn chips and salsa all the way from Arizona, courtesy of my Cellar Secret Santa. It was teh YUMMMEH!!

Leftover Chinese from Mum & Dad's dinner earlier.
I'd been back to the school for the evening performance of the play, so I was hon-grey.

Nom nom nom, thanks very much.

Got the staff room buffet lunch tomorrow.
I am taking boxes for leftovers.
There will be LOTS.

Approx 30 staff @ £4 per head. And obviously no alcohol.
£120 of food to be eaten in 40 minutes...? No.
But the office staff fall between two stools. They are salaried, like the teachers; but like the TAs their wage is below average.
So they err on the side of caution and try to provide a mixture of quantity and quality.

Anyway, I'm off to Boots after school, but I finish at 19.00.
Just in time to work up an appetite for my second round

I have sesame chicken cucumber salad on it's way. never tried that. sounded interesting.

bluecuracao · 12-13-2011, 07:24 PM

MB is making salmon with red potatoes, acorn squash and arugula. Nice and healthy, after the chicken wings and onion rings we had for apps at happy hour.

Clodfobble · 12-13-2011, 08:24 PM

Wild rice with cranberries, chicken thighs with sweet chili sauce, and sauteed mushrooms. I really would have preferred the orange-honey sauce with the chicken, but I was too tired to bother mixing it up.

Tonight I had dinner on the table at 5pm prompt. I was so amazed. It was from-scratch spag bol with mushrooms and carrots as sides. Well penne, not spag -because Hector finds it easier with his braces, but.....

$5.00 for a large pizza. At least the company was great.

Awesome. A new favorite.

I had salmon for dinner, at Led Robster.

We met up for mom's birthday.

Spicy Thai Peanut Noodles with broccoli and Asian-spiced chicken.

The noodles were leftover from a New Year's party last night, made the chicken late last week, and the broccoli was frozen but of uncertain provenance ... it's been up there a while, I think.
