Cottage Pie with red kidney beans, carrot, peas and sweetcorn with mozzarella in the topping. Plus a side of spinach (it's one of the few greens I actually enjoy )
Made chili in the crockpot yesterday for today. As I was taking out my kidney bean cans to open I nearly opened a can of cherry pie filling - they had the same no name brand label. Lol. That would have been one interesting chili!
Lost a bet, had to eat Greek Yogurt. Threw in some raisins, a Bouchon Bakery chocolate bar and some oats and somehow, someway, it still tastes like Willy Wonkas ass paste. >_< Dunno if I'll eat anything else tonight.
Totino's Frozen "Pizza". It's been a long week and a busy day, I need a junk food day, and my brain is too fried from other creativity to come up with something for dinner. Plus, I cooked earlier in the week: turkey burgers with curry-chutney mayo, and homemade pasta sauce.
I read that as pitty pizza, and was thinking, "man, I should invite you to some of the parties I've been having lately." I'm roasting garlic. I don't know why yet, but you can't go wrong with roasted garlic.
Thanks for the inspiration, Dap! When I read your post, it occurred to me there was 3/4 head of garlic and two onions in the pantry that were going to die soon. They're in the oven now. ETA: Found a red bell pepper and a green bell pepper in the fridge, so I cut, oiled, and threw them in to roast as well. "When in doubt, roast it."
I'm steaming fish and boiling some greens. Then I'm cheating with some microwavable rice. Keeping dish/pot washing to a minimal is always the goal.
Can't go wrong? I recommend roasted garlic strawberries with roasted garlic ice cream. You can flush it down with roasted garlic Dom Perignon.
Sweetcorn fried brown rice I added roast chicken to. I put my chicken drumsticks into the oven, let those roast. I used 1 cup of brown rice, 1 cup of frozen sweetcorn corn, some Mazola oil (I figure since it's sweetcorn).. dabs of fish sauce, sesame oil (I figured, because of the fish sauce), sugar (to counteract the fish sauce), light soy sauce (I figure, why not, like Chinese food's answer to salt), a little salted butter (I figure, since it's sweetcorn & sugar) (plus I only had salted butter)... mixed it up all, fried it all (not long; long enough to start cooking but not long enough to burn, added water)... (A part of me wishes I'd have added my chicken before that), but I added water. I added the roast chicken after I added the water... I ran a little cold water in my mixing bowl, used it to fillet the chicken with my fingers and the cold water was so I didn't burn my fingers, snacked on the chicken skin, and, now it's all cooking now. Smells like chinese take out does sweet and salty popcorn. It's cooking now.
Yesterday I had a spinach, cherry tomato and bell pepper omelette. Towards the end, I shared a portion with a moth...but other then that, the omelette was pretty tasty.
He must have thought it was pretty good. To die for in fact. He never flew again. ETA: Just in case anyone was thinking I killed him-I didn't. He got stuck in the tomato puree I'd spread on top for extra yuminess.
Sin of omission, you should have rescued, carefully rinsed, and given him mouth to spiracle. We know what your next incarnation will be.
I decided to make a pasta dish with hot dogs and onions. I thawed out the hot dogs, as they were thawing, I went off and got my onion ready; I chopped 1 onion, put into a bowl, added a splash of oil, mixed it all up, and preheated my pan, and started frying my onions, I cut the thawed hot dogs into chunks, marinated with splashes of Worcester sauce and added all of that to my frying onions, threw in a teaspoon of peanut butter to blend those flavours, then I decided to take it an Italian sauce way as I was doing that and added a teaspoon of tomato paste, which on the half mixed in teaspoon of peanut butter looked kin to peanut but and jelly, but it wasn't, just looked like it, mixed that in as I was cooking this tonight, then I went all 'hot dogs meets ball park' and hit it with a teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and 4 teaspoons of ketchup and brown sugar and (of course adding water and letting that simmer like sloppy joe with half of these ingredients, I hit it with some hot sauce, and chopped up a fresh garlic clove and then I decided it needed to be more Italian? so I added a can of chopped tomatoes, then frozen spinach and then used up this capsicum pepper (red) and threw that in there and let it simmer, and then I added frozen sweet corn and a slice of butter (because I was out of milk and wanted to give my sauce some dairy and, also, because of sweetcorn, I figured, why not butter again)? - let that all simmer. I drained the pasta, and added mozzarella cheese, and then I added my sauce from above, and.... (later on)... Tastes even nicer when warm. I haven't tried it cold yet. I tell ya, with the mozzarella in the pasta, one fork full reminded me of and looked like a Pizza Hut commercial/advert; this was a most excellent concoction.
