What's for Dinner? - Page 8

Morrigoon · 07-20-2007, 09:18 PM

Haven't eaten. Sitting here drinking a Coke and waiting for Alex. I was going to nuke a tv dinner, but the ants have once again invaded my kitchen. I hit the trails with the Windex, but now the ant triage unit has moved in. (sigh) I can't win against these fvckers. For the last two weeks we've fought back the ants - kitchen, living room, bathroom, you name it. We no sooner obliterate them in one spot than they swarm another. I still haven't figured out what they find so bloody interesting about my bathtub... must be something in the soap we use. Anyway, I don't like to go spraying flat-out poison around the kitchen (hence using windex instead, which, being a direct stream is easier to control than aerosol), so the battle rages on.

Dinner gets to wait.

Get a caulk gun, and caulk where they are getting in. After about 20 tubes of caulk, and 2 years, they will give up.

I like the quick and easy solutions!

Bill forgot to pick up a key ingredient of the chicken kabobs he wanted me to make tonight. So we went to the Park Pantry instead.

I did this the other day. I was making chicken breasts stuffed with Broccoli & proscuitto, and managed to forget the broccoli

....It was very interesting having Chicken breasts stuffed with Mashed Buttered Edamame & Proscuitto instead.

For most of today I had a mug of tea (with sugar), 6 Swedish fish, and a small bag of candied pineapple. And a lot of adrenalin.

Then for dinner I had a 6 inch subway, half a bag of chips.....and a giant movie popcorn with extra butter, giant soda of doom, and dark chocolate M&Ms.

I feel a little off now. I wonder why?

omg, I'm proud of tonight's dinner.

First course, butternut squash apple soup from Trader Joe with a dollop of sour cream. Main course, grilled sirloin and portobello with a red wine and honey reduction topped with crispy pan fried shallots.

The sirloin was cooked perfectly, the reduction was divine, and the shallots (CP took care of that part) were crispy and delicious. The only mistake, rightly pointed out by CP, was that the mushrooms should have been plated as a side, not on top of the meat, their flavor got lost even if the texture was nice.

For dessert, circus animal cookies. Mmmm, sprinkles.

Are you sure you're not gay? No straight man says "the reduction was divine".

I'm gay and even I wouldn't say "the reduction was divine." That's like super-gay.

My dinner for the last 3 days has consisted of "soft foods" as recommended by my dentist. The first night was soup - not so satisfying. The second night, a peanut butter and banana sandwich, thanks to a craving from reading LoT. Last night, I decided I needed real food and went and got sushi. Last night was certainly the best of the three.
