I'm making a beef stew right now. What are you having?

Is it me or are these threads getting dafter.

Mash
Beef and kindney Pie
Carrots
Brocalli
sausages
Bisto Beef and Onion Gravy

Sounds good.

Spring roll and chips :)

Spring roll and chips :)

Wow! Big eater.

I got a sprite and bag of Fritos :cool:

How big are you people? What happened to a real dinner?

I moved to college and they don't feed me...

That explains it. Eating is overrated anyways.

Yeah. Thank god for the Freshmen 15.

I'll probably make a pizza tonight.
It's been a while...

How big are you people? What happened to a real dinner?

To be fair, it was a massive spring roll from the chippy.

Ok - what's a chippy?

The only definition I know is a bar prostitute, and I doubt that was what you meant.

[QUOTE=Cogito;114778]Ok - what's a chippy?



Ditto.

Chip shop... Silly yanks

A shop that specializes in chips (by which I assume you mean deep fried thick potato pieces)?

I don't think we have any counterpart to that on this side of the Pond.

I so want a Donor Kebab lots of yogurt and extra chilli with a helping of salad.

You guys are making me hungry...

*Runs out door to eat*

I still don't have a clue as to what a "chippy" is.

Donor Mmmmmmmm

What's a donor?

In the States a donor is someone that gives something to someone else.

I had fish chips and peas, although done in the oven so healthier than shop bought.

Donor Kebab. Its turkish

I had fish chips and peas, although done in the oven so healthier than shop bought.

Are fish chips the same as fish sticks?

I must say I am intrigued by differnt foods, and names of foods, from other countries.

Sorry, I meant fish and chips. lol.

Donor Kebab. Its turkish

Turkish. Ok one step closer, but what is it?

A doner kebab is strips of processed meat from all the remains if animals that has been mixed together. it is normally sevred on a pitta with salad and garlic sauce and they are disgusting.

Oh! Thank you!

I thought it was some sort of funky donut. A donut is like a small round cake, usually had for breakfast..

not sure about having them for breakfast but i love a big jam donut. try and eat one of them without licking your lips :p

Ahh, ok. From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kebab):Döner kebab, literally "rotating meat" in Turkish, is sliced lamb or chicken loaf which is slowly roasted on a vertical rotating spit. It is similar to gyros, shawarma, and Taco al pastor. Döner kebab is most popularly served in pita bread, as it is best known, with salad, but is also served in a dish with a salad and bread or French fries on the side, or used for Turkish pizzas called pide or "kebabpizza".It sounds exactly like Greek gyros (pronounced GHEE-ros) in the States. I think gyros is also where the term "hero sandwich" originates from.

Donuts are fried dough, in the same shape as a bagel. Ship's captains used to put them on the spokes of the wheel so they could eat them while piloting the ship, which is the reason for the center hole.

not sure about having them for breakfast but i love a big jam donut. try and eat one of them without licking your lips :p

We have thousands of donut shops here in the U.S. they serve coffee and donuts. Here donuts are eaten for breakfast. We call the jam donut, a jelly donut. They cover it with powder, making it damn near impossible not to wear it.

I ran off and got a Double Cheese Burger with Bacon

Yeah, the powdered sugar tells you who filched one. :)

I ran off and got a Double Cheese Burger with Bacon

Now I want a cheeseburger, hold the bacon.

Cogito, I take it you go to Dunkies every morning?

Actually, no. I don't really care much for donuts.

They are traditional cop food though :)
In one adjoining town, there's a Dunkin Donuts (a franchise brand) on one of the main streets, about 4 blocks down from the fire station. The fire station doesn't have its own turning lane, neither does the MacDonald's in between, but the Dunkin Donuts does! And there is nearly always a police car in the parking lot or the drive through.

Do you live in Eastern, Central, or Western Ma.?

Yanks and their Donuts. I hear you guys Have pink Donuts

Central Massachusetts.

Yeah, there are pink donuts. Strawberry frosted, or cherry donuts. Come with a free dose of insulin ;)

Blecch.

Whats a Blecch Donut

Just about any donut, but particularly the pink ones :)

I really, really am not a donut fancier!

Neither am I. My wife has to stop every morning on her way to work, and get an ice coffee. I live in Southeastern Ma.

The only real breakfast is the full English.

Ahh, down toward the Cape.

Man, can you believe that guy who rolled the fuel tanker is getting off with just a speeding ticket? I'd have thought Reckless Endangerment at least, speeding with 9000 gallons of gasoline in the back!

I usually settle for a mug of coffee while on the drive to work, and then a carton of juice when I get there.

But my idea of a breakfast is Eggs Benedict with a side of Potatoes O'Brien. I don't often have a chance to indulge in it though.

They should throw the book at him. He is so lucky no one was injured or killed. Could you imagine seeing all that gas pouring out, coming towards your house, and then catching on fire?

I'm not a big breakfast fan, probably because I'm allergic to eggs.

I live right between the Cape and Boston. Did you get a lot of snow the other day? I got about an inch, or just less than.

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. Primarily because I love eggs and bacon.

I had a couple inches of snow, which in my parking lot is now a quarter inch of ice.

As for that driver, the civil cases will nail him. Two 6-family units burned to the ground, a third one damaged, and about 30 cars damaged or destroyed.

I feel awful for those people, having to run for their lives in pajamas and robes from a wall of flame, as everything they own is destroyed. It's a miracle no one was killed.

I see you changed your avatar lordofhats.

The people all thought it was a terrorist attack, even the police. Cars were exploding all up and down the street. Not only did these people lose their homes, but also their cars.

Do you think they'll go after him and the company he works for, or just him?

i have my 'dinner' around 2pm, don't eat another meal after that... today, i'll probably have some of the left-over fettucine i cooked up yesterday for a yummy w/broccoli alfredo feast, but will have it with marinara sauce this time, for variety... more broccoli, or a salad on the side... looooove that pasta!

[could happily eat pasta every day of my life, actually... sicilian/italian genes are strong!]

I see you changed your avatar lordofhats.

Yeah I was making V for Vendetta sig and found a pic of the plain anarchy V. I messed with it putting it on my avatar but didn't like it too much so I swtiched it back.

Probably both. There's not much chance of collecting from him, but they'll probably hold the company liable for his actions in their employ. Doncha just love lawyers?

He'll undoubtedly never drive a rig again, at least.

Anyway (back on topic), time for me to stop at the store for meat loaf ingredients, then home to get it into the oven. Back in a while...

Pasta good!

Wife should be home any minute. Dinner is ready. Will be back after spending time with her.

Everyone is going to attend to their lives, leaving me as the only sad warrior to fight the good fight :p

I'll fight with you Banzai! CHARGE!

*Banzai runs forward while I turn around and run in the other direction*

Neither am I. My wife has to stop every morning on her way to work, and get an ice coffee. I live in Southeastern Ma.

I too like my coffee. I drink lots. Thats proberly why I suffer with Insomnia

Pretty much Banzai. Good luck holding the wall.

Oh! Thank you!

I thought it was some sort of funky donut. A donut is like a small round cake, usually had for breakfast..

and policemen eat them all the time.

never heard so many males talk about cooking something. must be my age.
I had friends telling me it was terrible that I had my sons learning how to cook proper meals when they were young. But they were more upset about the housecleaning chores.
But now they can eat more cheaply and better than heading for Big macs and pizzas.
In Canada in the morning you head for Timmy's as that has the best coffee you can get anywhere.
they actually have one in Afganistan for the soldiers over there.
The real name is Tim Hortons and was started by the famous NHL hockey player so it really is all Canadian.

Cooking is a creative outlet for me. And I like good food anyway. Both my kids enjoy cooking too. My son likes to cook spicy food, as do I. My daughter started college in a Cordon Bleu culinary arts school, before she switched to Graphic Arts.

IF I can get going today, I will cooking a roast up. Roast lamb.. Roast spuds, roast carrots, roast pumpkin, boiled cabbage and cauliflower and not to mention using the pan juices to make a gravy for it all.... Ack.. my heart is clogging at teh thought and my pants are even popping open to allow room! :p :D

And breakfast? I don't generally have breakfast during the week except on tuesdays because I actually have time to have breakfast. But on weekends we have hashbrowns and eggs on toast! YUM!

and I don't drink coffee or tea. And I can't really have cereal because that generally requires milk which in turn upsets my stomach... :/

I just watched my dog eat half of his own turd after doing it.


I had to share because I had to glimpse it. And don't say don't watch the eyes always look when they shouldn't Damn dog.

Looks like there is no roast tonight. and might i say.... EWWW!

Sorry but I gave my Oxtail soup to the other dog. The brown stuff just ain't doing it for me now.

Stop It!


Geez! Did You Have To Post That After My Lovely Roast Dinner Post????? ><

Why does it not put my words in capital letters? The last line above was all in capital letters! Why does it do that?!

Sorry. But I had to watch it. :eek: Bloody dog and his turd chomping.

That Is Disgusting! Damn You Raven!

What....:eek: :eek: You just imagine it. I had to physically watch him toss it up in the air then half break away on his nose as he chompped down on the half he caught in his mouth.....

*vomits In A Package And Sends It To Raven*

Gives to the dog and watches as it drivvels from the sides of his brown stained teeth then watches him lick it up with his long stained tongue. Bloody animals aye....:eek:

OMG you are sick.













*cries and vomits repeatedly!*

Bloody dogs comes round. Finally the images become real in your head of the dog and the .... Not Oxtail soup

......:mad:...........


Anyone else hungry?!

I'm thinking something poultry in the black ravenish bird kind of way.....

Did you know that when carving birds they have lots of poo inside their bowels that you have to remove before you can gut them.

It would be like watching a dog eat a turd really. :p

*bangs head on table*




You are so wrong. Do you know that?

What :eek: was me that had to watch dog chomping turd. me who lost out on Oxtail soup. kinda reminded me of sloppy poo after that.

You must of enjoyed it. You keep repeating it over, and over...and over...and over.... :p

No I don't you keep reminding me of the turd eating experience as a whole.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarg!


do I remind you of a.. okay. No more turd talk in the dinner thread!

turd.

dog eating turd.

Gross, aint it?

Whats Grosse

Whats Grosse

the last couple of pages on this thread.
yuck

lol! Imagine how I felt...

don't have to imagine.
been there done that.

lol!

And we still love the four legged K9s. lol

Well right now (Lunch) I am having a piece of toasted bread with Nutella.

ooh that is sweet. my teeth hurt just reading that.

I made tea biscuits and butter for lunch.

not very healthy but oh so good when hot.

I had sunday roast :)

that sounds good.
this week don works nights. goes in at 6 pm and gets home at 4am.
so I get to have meals I like and he doesn't and I leave him something to eat when he gets home.
he wanted tea biscuits before he went back to bed to be ready for work tonight.
really it is a weird shift even for shift work.
But it pays the bills nicely and since I have never worked outside the home I tend to cater to him.

Burgers for me. with a slap of cheese on. and some lettic and some tarta source and buttered bread.

With Hebed wedges.

Spaghetti and a ceaser salad... mmm... thank you mom :).

Tartar sauce on a burger, Raven? Sounds interesting...


I really fancy a chinese :(

Today I have the pizza I mentioned on Thursday, now that the meatloaf is gone.
Homemade pepperoni and mushroom pizza. Yummmm!

That is one reason in many that I miss Dom. He makes fantastic pizza. I taught him how to make the dough and cover them with good stuff and he now turns out better ones than mine. Don't eat a lot of pizza but I never turn down one of his.

Chinese would hit the spot right about now. Oh well maybe another day.

For dinner I had chicken fingers, French fries, and corn.

There is a typical dinner in my house.

I daresay Domoviye has access to some very good Chinese cuisine.

Chinese is good, but it gets kind of repetitive after a while, since I'm never sure what I'm ordering.
Tonight I'm going go out buy some tomatoes and lettuce, and make up toasted sandwiches with mozzarella cheese. Tasty.
Or I'll phone up a cute girl I'm tutoring, and see if she wants a tutoring session tonight and dinner.

I just watched my dog eat half of his own turd after doing it.


I had to share because I had to glimpse it. And don't say don't watch the eyes always look when they shouldn't Damn dog.

What's that old saying, tastes like crap.

I order so much pizza that the I'm on a first name basis with the pizza place. And last night I was at a party and the pizza guy was like... hey, I know you... you live on that street. It was pretty funny. :)

Just make sure it doesn't reach the point that if they don't hear from you in a week they call the cops and report a missing person.
That can get embarrassing.

Vegetarian lasagne which will hopefully be quite good :)

HAHAHA!

Or if I don't order for a while they'll think I've starved to death, lol.

Vegetarian lasagne which will hopefully be quite good :)
I don't mind vegetarian, but I find it is always, always missing one crucial ingredient. MEAT.
If it doesn't have meat its a snack not a meal.
I'll just go away now. :D

I'm hungry... I think I'll go get a brie and tomato sandwich from the canteen in a bit. Overpriced, but very nice.

And I agree on the meat issue, Dom :p

when I was pregnant for my first child all I really wanted to eat was Harvey's hot dogs with mustard onions and pickles.
Don was working midnights so before he left for work we would drive to Harvey's and I would have the hot dog. well I went in sometimes and they really loaded the toppings on for me. One night I sat in the car and the server waved at me and Don came out with 2 hotdogs. One with a weiner and one with only toppings. His message was that I put so many onions and pickles on I probably didn't care for the meat part anyway.
The truth is that it was the best hot dog I ever had.
it is kind of weird, when you drive into a restaurant parking lot and they start your order before you get out of the car.

I did that a few times at Mcdonalds with this one morning person. He'd walk in, we'd already be pouring the coffee and getting the breakfast burrito ready. Then he spoiled it all when he started to order different things.

You can get burritos for breakfast there?

Whoa.

Yeah, cheese, sausage, eggs, microwaved for 30 seconds. Edible, but not very tasty.

I don't mind vegetarian, but I find it is always, always missing one crucial ingredient. MEAT.
If it doesn't have meat its a snack not a meal.
I'll just go away now. :D

Lmao, I'm don't eat meat, so that makes it a bit hard for me :p

It was absolutely delicious, though. The first time we've tried it, but it was a total success.

You would have liked it :p

Nothing is worth anything without meat.

Seconded.

You are both mean :p

There are plenty of yummy things that don't contain meat :D Chocolate, for instance ;)

Seriously, this lasagne was to die for :p

Good chocolate contains meat. Even if I have to melt the chocolate down and put the meat in myself.

Wow. That sounds so bad :p

ILTBY, he would probably do it. Strange tastes that boy has.
actually he is a pretty sane eater. just have a fire extinguisher handy.
in the summer I could do vegetarian quite easily but in the winter with nothing fresh looking edible it is meat and potatoes time.
I also cannot eat the beans and lentils thing. once in a while chili with kidney beans and pork and beans but that is it.
I have had the veg. lasagna and it was quite nice. And Dom has had quite a few vegetarian meals in his lifetime. just doesn't know how often because mothers are tricky.

As the designated cook for my family, I thought I'd make pasta bake for dinner.

It was nice but I've cooked better.. at least it wasn't as bad as last night's dinner.. my first attempt at a vegetarian stir fry which ended up looking like a dog's breakfast, I'm so sorry Mum.

lol.

Eoz the secret to vegetable stir fry is. use more oil than normal cut the vegetables up bigger dust them in seasoned flour and fry them quickly. drain off the oil add the bean sprouts and at the last minute any sauce you were going to use.
have had some that do look like a dogs breakfast or worse.

I've made some vegetarian meals of my own. Usually pasta. I just like meat. A lot. And now that I've brought it up, I have to try meat in chocolate at some point.

I also will attempt that, Dom :p

I wouldn't put it past him. he once made chocolate rice balls that were gross. even he didn't eat them after one bite

Hey I had at least 10 of those horrible things. I had to prove to you they were edible and not a waste of my time and money.
Thank God I never tried it again.

Dinner...Hmm, the kids do have to eat don't they? Maybe we'll have what Cher served in "Mermaids." Marshmallows, and cheese doodles. Sounds exquisite to me. Actually, I have to try and do something new with hamburger. Oh my God, I have no idea, but when I figure it out, I'll let you know.

Have you tried making "hobo dinners"? You form patties with the ground beef, and put them, seasoned and topped with frozen mixed veggies, in a sealed foil packet. Put it in a 350 oven for 45 minutes to an hour, and you have a meal with no pots or pans to clean up.

Km if you have young kids, make regular hamburgers except shaped like snowmen and pine trees. Tell your kids they're special hamburgers.
If they're older make meat pies. Make pie crust. Cut out little circles in the pie crust about the size of a small saucer. Place hamburger that has been fried on the stove in the middle of it and close it up. Bake them in the oven until the pie crust is golden brown. Eat them with ketchup and they're pretty good.

Edit: Cogito my Mom makes up fish like that. You're right it is tasty and easy.

Sounds good, except for ruining them with ketchup.

Spice up the meat well with taco seasoning and minced onions, brown it up a bit in the pan, then put it in the pie crust circle and close the packet by folding it over in half so it's shaped like a D. brush the top with a little olive oil (or an egg glaze) and press the edges with the tines of a fork. Bake in a 350 oven until the top is browned, and Voila! empanadas.

I like my ketchup.
And thanks for giving a bit better instructions. I haven't made them in a year, and forgot some details.

For tea tonight I had chicken, potaotes, sweetcorn and gravy. very yummy. :p

Damn you lot have made me hungry and what I have for tea tonight I really don't know what it is but it looks like it was just taken out of a dog food can and placed in my bowl....It is very off putting that is for sure.

I don't think I am hungry after contemplating eating whatever it is to be honest <cries and puts fork with unknonwn substance back into bowl>

I'm about to boil some spaghetti and smother it in spaghetti sauce, with some dried basil, oregano, hot spice, powdered garlic and Italian spices. Yummy.

You wanna send some of that to me via email please Dom? It sounds so much better than DOG FOOD!!!! ><

No.
Spaghetti is expensive and only comes in little packages. I need it all for me.

I had bacon and eggs, strangely enough.

Spagetti, expensive.
never thought I would hear that.
it is the cheap meal the day before payday type stuff.
Dom you want some in your birthday package.

I'm eating tonight?

No thank you.
And spaghetti is expensive here, because its all imported. Included the spaghetti sauce.
But its good, so I don't mind.
Also expensive here means it costs about 6 dollars American.

No.
Spaghetti is expensive and only comes in little packages. I need it all for me.

It's alright I ended up having some really yummy home made pizza pockets. They had ham, bacon, mushrooms, olives, tomatoes, pineapple and prawns in them and my gosh they were so yummy it isn't funny. I want more lol but I ate all 15 of them :D

I'll send you spaghetti the next time I make it if you send me some of those Torana. I can't find yeast so I haven't been able to make pizza months. And while some of the pizza I've had here is good, its not the same.

Sounds good to me :p lol

I love being creative with food and seeing what I can do with it. I can't go off recipe books, I always mess up so i make my own recipies and voila a awesome filling feed that is so yummy you just can't get enough of it lol and I seem to be good at it sometimes lol

<just don't tell anyone cause then they will want me to cook for them and realise I can cook and then some foolish male might want a relati....I dare not say the word. LOL >

You don't need a jar of sauce to make spagetti.

We'll be having home made chicken pie with potatoes and peas. Yum.

I have about 200 recipe books and 6 sites for recipes on the computer and I never use them. I cook from scratch and add what I think looks good. Haven't had a lot of failures but then I have been cooking since I was 8 earlier if you count mud pies.
My favourite to make is egg rolls. they are so good when they are right out of the fryer.
chicken pot pie sounds good and I already have the stew made. Don't know if I would use biscuit topping or pie crust.
will have to wait and see about 6pm.

We'll be having home made chicken pie with potatoes and peas. Yum.

Hey, Sayso, invite me to dinner. *hopeful eyes*

No thank you.
And spaghetti is expensive here, because its all imported. Included the spaghetti sauce.
But its good, so I don't mind.
Also expensive here means it costs about 6 dollars American.

Here, spaghetti is usually 2 boxes for one U.S. dollar. Some times they run sales three for one dollar, .33 cents.

We should start our own buisness. I'll ship you spaghetti, and you sell it for less than everyone else. We'll make money hand over fist.

I have only one recipe book and that is for cooking for babies and toddlers. I wanted to know the best foods to cook for my children and so I bought it. Learnt a lot from it and got some great ideas as well.

Otherwise I don't bother with recipe books at all. Experimentation is the only way to go in my opinion and that is how I learnt to cook.

Indeed it is.

I'm having some bean and sausage stew akin to Cassoulet - just adding the wine (to me) now.

I have a large quantity of recipe books. I usually use them for a starting point, and sometimes I'll look up a few versions of the same dish in different books.

The problem with off-the-top-of-my-head experimentation is that I tend to fall into similar recipe patterns. I'm actually more experimental when I see unique recipe ingredients I would probably not have thought of.

I'm having Tika Masila With Rice and chips

somebody once asked me for my soup recipe. I just sort of went duh
I learned to make soup from my mother and she learned from her mother.
you take some meat put it in water spice it the way you like and toss in all the vegetables that are left in the crisper the day before or the day you get groceries.
How do you tell someone that is your recipe.
Same with stews or casseroles. You make them to hide things your family doesn't particularly like.
I love to read the recipes and then mix and match them to make them my recipe.

I had store bought pizza with meat and more cheese added by me. Tasty, but I left it in too long and the crust was harder then usual. I really need to find some yeast.

Here, spaghetti is usually 2 boxes for one U.S. dollar. Some times they run sales three for one dollar, .33 cents.

We should start our own buisness. I'll ship you spaghetti, and you sell it for less than everyone else. We'll make money hand over fist.

.33 cents is 2.30 yuan here. They can buy meals for less if here if they want to bargain a little.
And they prefer their own noodles to foreign ones, thats why I have to buy imported spaghetti instead of buying local.
Good idea in theory though.

Not sure what we'll be having but for afters we will be having the chocolate log I made at school today. It looks lush, a chocoloate swich roll covered in chocolate buttecream. Yummy. :D

two questions
what is Tika Masila

and what is. chocoloate swich roll

they both sound either exotic or interesting.

get to cook dinner for myself again tonight and haven't decided yet. But I will be cooking bacon and eggs and toast for breakfast for Don in a little bit.

sorry, Chocolate swiss roll. any better?

And chicken tikka is a curry. very nice curry at that.

thought it might be the swiss roll.
think I will pass on the tika. never a fan of curry.
thanks for explaining.

Not a problem. And I am not a fan of curries either, they are too hot for me normally.

Tiki Masala is actaually a mild, aromatic, somewhat creamy curry. I like it, although I favor the hotter ones like Vindaloo.

I quite like curry :)

I'm having mini-pizza.

I'm looking forward to going out to a nearby diner with a bunch of friends and eating some buffalo chicken tenders. :D

I've had the weirdest craving for buffalo sauce + meat recently.

Babies.


They're for dinner tonight.

There's a chain of pubs in the States, Buffalo Wild Wings. They feature wings with your choice from 14 sauces from Sweet Barbeque to Blazing (my own favorite). The sauces are available for mail order as well. The one I went to was in Kansas City, and it became my favorite place for a meal and a beer (or 3) when I was there on work trips.

Kewl.

Not sure what i'm having tonight... i'll have a jacket potato whilst i'm at school though. Probably with cheese.

I'm hoping to get myself a pizza for lunch :)

I had Kentucky Fried Chicken and it was really yummy. I had it for lunch as well. GOtta gain weight somehow :D:p

Lmao. Unlike me who needs to lose it.

I need to lose it but oh well. That aint gonna happen anytime soon.

Might have scotch fillit steaks with vegies. If my BF gets a move-on and washes the pots!

I had a bit of baguette, four things that i don't know what they're called, they're rice, garlic and a bit of meat wrapped up in a wonton like wrapper and steamed quite tasty. And I had whipped cream and pastries filled with more whipped cream for desert. Very nice.

Pasta.

dum sim or dumplings or pot stickers.

last night I tried some of the President Choice frozen entree's and side dishes.
vegetable samosa and something with all sorts of vegetables and a sauce.
one or the other made me so sick. I went to bed at 9 and was sick all night.
Don't think I will try those again.

going to do some home cooking tonight I think.
just don't know what.

I ended up having a microwavable ready meal thing (actually really nice). It was chicken pieces and potato slices with vegetables in gravy.

YUM.

we ended up having the scotch fillit steaks but we had that on the BBQ with hashbrowns and eggs on toast.

It was pretty nice too!

I am having some canned beef stockpot cause I am hungry again :p I am always hungry though :p:p *Lets hope the excessive hunger equals another few kilos*

I gained 3 in the last week woot woot woot woot :p

Torana did you know that attitudes like yours are legal grounds for murder.
Gaining weight for most people is no problem.
before they found out what was wrong with my arms I had gained huge time. 2 years ago when they fixed my left arm I lost a lot of weight. Then last Jan they fixed my other arm and I lost a heck of a lot more.
I always told the drs. you get rid of the pain and I will get rid of the weight. Well finally a dr. did that and I am keeping my part of the bargain. j
Since the first operation I have lost 100lbs. so that is woot woot woot woot
If I gain 3 it would be more like wah wah wah
I am glad if you are gaining and want to though.
Just the totally opposite problem to me.

I have a question for people who eat Indian food.
I tried some I think they were vegetable somosa they were triangles of what seemed like phyllo dough but thicker. I really liked the sauce for dipping that came with it. I tossed the package before I thought about getting the name of the sauce.
It was dark brown and sort of sour and sweet. Could anyone tell me what would be in it. I would like to make my own for other things like spring rolls or egg rolls.
Might even try to make the samosas as well.

I wish I could help Lessa, I do not eat much Indian food.

It's a tamarind dipping sauce. Tamarind is the sweet component of Worcestershire sauce. You should be able to find tamarind sauce at Indian groceries, and you can probably order it over the Internet.

Just the totally opposite problem to me.

Yes I know my attitutde is legal grounds for murder
FOr me gaining weight is harder than winning a million dollars on lottery
I actually want to gain another 7 kilos so that I am 55 kilos instead of 45 which I have been since I was 13.

And as far as I know the sauce Cogito mentioned is correct.

As for tea tonight I am getting either pizza or lasgane. Not sure yet. I just feel like something quick and easy tonight! :p

Not sure yet but I want gravy with something. After looking at lots of Christmas meal ideas I am in a dinner mood. :p

Pan-fried chicken with tomato and bacon :)

I think I might make pasta with olive and garlic and tomotoes and onion and green peppers. No sauses though.
oh! mmmmm and fresh basil and garlic toast.
mmm maybe really garlicy ceasar salad.

Olive oil and garlic is a fine pasta sauce by itself. Black pepper is a common third ingredient, as is fresh lemon.

I know it's a little late but we had a steak and mushroom pie with carrots, swede, sprouts and mash. Told you I was in the mood for a dinner. :p

I made a rice and vegetable dish. My own recipe. I don't remember what was in it but it was quite lovely. I used Jasmine rice and there was prawns, pineapple, capsicum, and I can't remember anything else that was in it. I should have wrote it down while it was on my mind actually.

Tonight we're having T-bone steaks, mash potato, roasted sweet potato and steamed vegetables ...

All I have to do now is drag myself from cyberland.

YUM.

Had chicken from teh chook shop with mashed spuds and pumpkin, carrot and brown onion gravy! tasted good. Also the chocolate mud cake for desert was quite nice too!

I had Greek salad...it was rather good :)

damn I left my really yummy potato salad with Michelle *cries* I'm hungry again!

Come over to my house. I'm having fried brains with eyeballs.

This guy's funny.

Your last name wouldn't happen to be 'Lecter'...?

I'm going to have mince pies and mulled wine at my dad's carol recital :)

Come over to my house. I'm having fried brains with eyeballs.

SOrry that was lunch yesterday. Can't have the same meal twice in a month you know!

Who is Carol, and what is he reciting to her?

I'm baking a loaf of rye bread today. I haven't decided what dinner will be tonight yet. Perhaps I will have chicken and dumplings, great for a cold, snowy day.

I made Spaghetti Bolegnaise. I say made, what I really mean is I emptied a jar of Dolmaoes into some mince and sorted some pasta. Still, was very nice. :D

I forgot so I'm just having a sausage roll for tea tonight....oops!:p

I ate Supreme Pizza tonight with a cute girl who I am tutoring.
It was very filling.

Damn! You aren't supposed to put your friends as pizza toppings!

But she made the pizza so tasty. Just had avoid the occasional hair.

I made salmon and salad with new potatoes last night. I don't really like salmon but it was what me mam wanted.

Lmao Dom!

I will have whatever I can find that isn't too demanding to eat - tonsilitus really is crappy :(

When the kids had tonsilitis from Nov-March. I made a lot of milkshakes, milk puddings, soup and served ice cream. Oh those fun days NOT
I think tonight it will be subs. Either homemade or from Mr.Sub. Don't feel ambitious about cooking today for some reason.

When Mason had tonsilitis he got ice cream, icy poles, milk shakes, and smooties and jelly. He couldn't eat anything else not even soup the poor little thing. Tonsilitis sucks....

I am having meat lovers pizza, egg and bacon pies (I made them myself and I am so good at making them), chips (home made) and for desert cheese cake and chocolate yogo with shaved chocolate over the top for extra chocolatety goodness.

I ate something at the cafeteria, rice, potatoes and cheap pork, and some green stuff with some miniscule pork. It was actually not bad for a change. I'm just sick and did not want to cook.

Last night I had a marmite and crisp sandwhich for tea. Was lush :D

I like this thread but oh it is really kind of depressing.
I get up at 4 and come here and the first one that pops out at me is "whats for dinner"
I haven't even finished my first coffee and somebody is saying what's for dinner.

but I think it will be finger foods tonight. have to make up the eggrolls so they will be a big figure on the table.

I had a meat pie, lettuce leaves and cheese. Mix the three together and it tastes pretty funky with tomato sauce and mayonnaise LOL :p

Torana- you are gross.


Tonight? Maybe a roast- If my dad drops the meat off!

it was a strange day today for meals.
I woke up at 4 went downstairs to pack Don's lunch. No sandwiches made. Forgot it was Sat. So I had toast and peanut butter and coffee.
Don got up at 11 and I made bacon and cheese sandwiches. Then at 5:30 I made pretend pizza's and egg rolls. Then at 10. I made subs.
like I said a strange meal day. But they are kind of fun days as well.

I had the roast. I did well too! Yay me and my cooking skills! Whoohoo!

we were meant to be having fish and eggsand I kind of killed the meal big time. The fish turned out perfectly and was the first time I had cooked non battered fish so I am very impressed, but the egss were burnt as I was concentrating so hard on the fish I forgot about the eggs...oops! Oh and a beer to wash it all down with lol :p

and DOZ you think that is bad you should try my Burger Rings, mayonnaise and lettuce...mmmmm yummo! :D

You're not expecting are you????? -.- :p

but that's nothing to our so called breakfast this morning- hashbrowns with eggs. Only the eggs were half formed tiny baby chickens! >< it was so gross! I nearly vomited! And it was in the hot frying pan and the smell was vomit-worthy!

Oz that sounds terrible. How did this happen. Were they uninspected eggs.
what a horrible way to start the day.
poor girl.

just eggs from my BF's aunty and uncles. They didn't know- probably left too long unfortunatly. It was horrible!

no DOZ I am not expecting at all lol there are NO chances of that at all believe me!

And yes that is so grose DOZ what a nasty start to the day. Maka a complaint if they were shop bought!

Doz if you get eggs from them a lot, a way to prevent that surprize is to hold them up to a light. you can see the what is inside before you crack them.
Sure would save the horrible smells and feelings.

Thanks for the tip Less, and yeah, Torana- farm eggs. not shop but if they did I would MOST definatly go and complain.

But oh well.

Last night I went to a big banquet for foreign teachers. Lots of Chinese and some western foods. Pretty good but they needed better desserts. And harder liquer.
Tonight I'm going to have a light supper of something. Then I'm going to a class party where dumplings will be served.
