Homemade chicken in pjamas, homemade chips and beans with sultana's n pinenuts (beans from the garden)...we were going to have peas as well, but Tyler and I ate them all whilst we were picking them.

Explain chicken in pyjamas, unless that's your way of dining.

And for me - nothing.
Nope, nothing. Zilch, zero, nul.
Because it's too bloody hot.

Expect me to moan about this across the whole board and feel free to put me on temporary ignore until weather reports show a more sensible temperature in South East England.

Yep. Much as I appreciate the lack of rain, it's been way hot. Poor carrotchops was chasing the shade all through his walk.

As a consequence of a trip to the Costco with wrongwaycorrigan, I will be eating chicken lunchmeat sandwiches for about the next two weeks. I got an assortment of cheese, though, so it won't be exactly the same sandwich every day, just repeat once every four days.

I am dying to know what chicken in pyjamas means. Like Sundae said - what you are wearing or did you do somethign to the chicken?

After the failure last night, I am making blackened chicken salad tonight. I am hoping this will be a much better result.

I had (shop bought) Chicken Jalfrezi for dinner last night.
Good enough, although I prefer take-away or home cooked (either way made by someone Asian and not me).

But it was authentic enough that I sweated onions all night.
Not good when you're waking up every 20 minutes anyway from heat/ cat attacks/ fear of onion fumes.

I'm having tortellini in a roast garlic sauce tonight.
Expect similar complaints tomorrow.

I, too, join the ranks of those who MUST KNOW what chicken pyjamas is.

Chicken Salad! Again. It is good, and it means I don't have to cook tonight....instead I can clean . That also means that tomorrow's lunch will be the same chicken salad, but tomorrow night is a new recipe.....in an already clean kitchen! Some of the trade-offs I do are odd.

[Sundae]

I googled chicken in PJs.
Cheater.

I'd eat it though.

[Stormieweather]

Shrimp scampi with oven roasted summer squash and a sliced fresh tomato. Nom nom nom!!!

[orthodoc]

I cheated too. Hell, from now on I'll call it chicken pyjamas ... much more fun

Leftovers, clean-out-the-fridge-night here. Brown rice and black bean salad in high-fiber tortilla, almond dream, strawberries with a dash of liqueur ... mmm. The tiramisu I bought tasted like nasty oil-substitute crud. Dumped it.

[Trilby]

My cousin gave me a recipe for spaghetti sauce and I thought he was foolin' but turns out it is DELISH. though mighty, mighty unhealthy.

1 lb ground chuck OR ground Bob Evans sausage (Plain sausage - no fennel)
onions, garlic - chopped and cooked in the meat grease
1 (15 oz.) can chopped tomatoes
1 stick of real butter

cook the meat, onions and garlic, throw in the 'maters and the butter. Simmer till hot thru. Throw on any pasta.

OMG. sooooooooooo good. And DO NOT drain the meat. Leave the grease IN. Will give you a coronary but you won't care.

Went to Victory Brewing last night.

appetizer:

Caramelized Sea Scallops
pan seared sea scallops with ginger
cabbage slaw and sweet honey sesame
dressing $13*
pairs well with Headwaters Pale Ale

AMAZING. SOooooo tender and delicious... it was orgasmic.

Amanda had this:

Grilled Bratwurst
two grilled bratwurst with sautéed peppers and onions served
with spicy Prima mustard on a long roll $10*
pairs well with Victory Lager

Also delicious. juicy and sweet and a lil bit spicy

I had A spicy Orange glazed Chicken dish ( kind of like General Tso's, but with slivers of Orange peel stirred in) with rice and broccoli.

and beer(s)

Mad King Weiss, Kolsch, Hop Devil, Helios.

Then we went to her place and played Yahtzee. I had 2 or 3 Golden Monkeys, and woke up with the worst Hangover I've had in recent memory. just starting to feel human again.

Pics or it didn't happen!

Dinner tonight is supposed to be Jambalaya. Except I didn't plan well, and my oven is currently in use, so I'm going to have to rush to throw it all in as soon as the other thing is out, and then eat late after the kids have gone to bed.

He gave his life, and his head, so that we could have tasty pork tonight and go on to rock the house of a large private party in the middle of nowhere.



Until the rain came and stopped us right at our fourth song, and we had to wait an hour and hope that all our gear didn't get too wet. It didn't, we continued on and rocked them all decently, including getting a bunch of women-folk to start line-dancing. Call it a win.
