Was taken outside as a cheer-up and had a burger and salad :)

[DanielBenoit]

Ordering pizza! :banana:

Highlight of my day.

[Virgil]

My wife won't tell me. She never does. I ask when I get home and she always says you'll see. :lol: I say, why can't I know. And she says it's none of your business. And I say well I'll be eating it, so it is my business. And she says what are you going to do not eat it? And I say, well when you go to a restaurant do they just surprise you? No you know ahead of time what will come. And she says, this is no restaurant. Sit your a$$ down, wait, and be surprised. :D

[Scheherazade]

Some noodle dish with vegetables and Eastern spices (more of a personal concoction) and watermelon and red grapes.

First, I'm going to grill small slab of dead cow. Then I plan to crunch the life out of some living spinach and broccoli.

[Scheherazade]

Shame we are so far away, after all that, I was hoping for an invite...

[Scheherazade]

Tacos and salad.

[skib]

Tacos and salad.

That sounds magnificent. Much better than dry roast chicken and cooked carrots. Blech.

[Granny5]

Rigatoni with red meat sauce, salad, French bread.

[skib]

That sounds really good too, actually!

[Scheherazade]

That sounds magnificent. Much better than dry roast chicken and cooked carrots. Blech.
That sounds really good too, actually!Me thinks somebody is hungry. :p

Why not cook the pieces of chicken and carrots in tomato sauce with chopped potatoes? Served with rice, it would taste grand! :)

[skib]

Aww, how'd you guess? :lol:

I love your suggestions, but unfortunately I'm not cooking so I'm afraid don't have much say! :blush:

[motherhubbard]

Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, peas and carrots, pecan pie and apple pie - all left over.

[Granny5]

Hope they are as good as they were last night! Save me some pecan pie!

[motherhubbard]

meatloaf was better, potatoes were not. There's still plenty of pie. Come up in the morning. Cold Pecan pie is great with hot coffee. I mean really great. Especially if it's EARLY before the kids get up and the fog is still on.

[Scheherazade]

Two-colour rice, beef korma and shish kebab (chicken) to be served with yoghurt and mixed salad.

If one added food colouring to the rice, would it work? If I added a few drops, would the end result be rice with blue, green and red grains? Or a mishmash?

Rather tempted to try now... Hmm...

[motherhubbard]

[Scheherazade]

Which vegetables are you grilling? I almost never do this... even though it sounds delicious.

[Idril]

My sister and I are going to attempt to make lefse. My mom makes amazing lefse but doesn't have the time this year so she's asked me to do it. I've made lefse once and it turned out alright but I used potato flakes, which is cheating :p , so this time, I'm using real potatoes and I'm worried about getting the consistency of the dough right...I think I'm going to have a box of the fake potatoes on hand just in case we have to start over. :rolleyes: The great thing is, with my sister helping me, I can always blame her if things go wrong! ;)

[Scheherazade]

Pizza and nachos.

Tomorrow I will make something decent... Maybe some lentil soup for lunch too. Been ages.

Not in the mood for cooking. :-/

[hollystone]

APPLE DUMPLINGS

Have the sauce...ancient family reicipe, 1630, I think:

3T sugar
1T cornstarch (originally 3 T flour)
Pour 1 C boiling water over above and keep on fire
Adjust liquid if desired. Idea is a between runny and thick.
Add grated nutmeg

--anyone reconize the sauce?--

Am looking for a good crust through. This is for "baked" apple dumpling. Always used pie pastry, but not satisfying to me now.

Will be taking it to a Thanksgiving dinner this Sunday for volunteers in an historic pioneer village state park.

Love this topic!

[Scheherazade]

[Scheherazade]

Not a hundred percent sure. Better go look and see what can be combined into one bowl.What? Run out of kitties already?

[DanielBenoit]

Bacon and egg rollup. My sister is such a wonderful cook and kind person when she wants to be :D

[skib]

What? Run out of kitties already?

Yep. Not a whole heckuva lot on those Siamese.

[DanielBenoit]

I just had the greatest bacon and scrambled egg roll up of my life!

[Scheherazade]

Yep. Not a whole heckuva lot on those Siamese.Should have salted and dried some for these long winter days...

Made two coloured rice with beef korma and grilled spicey chicken pieces served with mixed salad and yoghurt... And mellon balls and red grapes for afters.

[Scheherazade]

Had a random dish of green lentils, chickpeas and cracked wheat.

It wasn't spectacular but great to clear the leftovers in the kitchen cupboards.

Followed by watermelon cubes, melon balls and red grapes.

[Scheherazade]

Spent about 3 hours in the kitchen today preparing the dinner:

All was gone in 45 mins and I was in the kitchen for another hour clearing up... :rolleyes:

Wow. That doesn't sound like a good trade off at all!

[Idril]

My son made the comment that he wished we could cook together more often. I used to be quite the cook but have slow down quite a bit since I've become something of a guest in my own home...long story...but for Christmas, I bought him a very nice cookbook with all kinds of pictures, demonstrations and tips and told him that we would 'cook our way through it together.' Tonight will be the first meal and he's picked stuffed potatoes. All those big fancy supper ideas and he picks stuffed potatoes! :lol: Oh well, it will be an easy start. Now I just have to decide if I want a salad or soup to go with it.

[The Comedian]

And what's the difference between a scilian connoli and a regular cannoli?

[Scheherazade]

Haven't been able to go shopping for almost a week now so really beginning to scrape the bottom of the kitchen cupboards.

It is a fun challenge, though. :)

[Virgil]

(OK, bread was a cheat; got one of those half-baked baguettes and baked it at home).

That sounds delicious. I love lentil soup too. (I know. I still owe you that pizzaola recipe. I haven't forgotten. I got the pictures of the process on the camera and haven't down loaded them yet.)

[Maryd.]

[Janine]

Roast chicken breast cooked with sliced carrots; mushrooms, black olives, pears, coleslaw, and buttered egg noodles on the side; I am also scrapping the bottom of the cupboard; at least, I had the chicken and fresh carrots....the rest is leftover or stuff from cans.

I love lentil soup too.
Hey scher, love lentil soup.:pAlrighty... If we ever have a Forum meeting, lentil soup (a la Scher) will be our official food!

:p

Well, your cupboard has a much nicer bottom than mine by the sound of it! :D

That is such a lovely mixture of things to add to roast chicken... Cans or not. :)

[Maryd.]

Alrighty... If we ever have a Forum meeting, lentil soup (a la Scher) will be our official food!

Ooh I like that. I'll be in that. Definitely.:thumbs_up

Lazy night...

Smoked salmon, seeded loaves, soft cheese, cucumber and lemon slices.

[Scheherazade]

Smoked salmon! Hope it was the real wild stuff. Sounds like a nice meal. Hope you had someone to share it with.Don't know what they would score on "Salmon Wildness Scale" but it said "Smoked Wild Scottish Salmon" on the pack.

And you can always find people willing to share a meal if you prepare it!

:p

Pasta bolognese with yoghurt and carrot salad.

Melon balls and watermelon squares for afters.

As soon as I manage to find the way to my kitchen, that is!

[kasie]

......As soon as I manage to find the way to my kitchen, that is!

Hmmm - why can't Scher find her way to the kitchen? I ask myself.

Is it so long since she cooked that she has forgotten where the kitchen is
and what it's there for? Unlikely, I think.

Is it that she lives in some vast palatial spread and gets lost in the miles of corridors? Maybe.

Is it the chef's night off and he's out with all the rest of the staff? Bad planning, Scher - get that relief rota sorted asap.

Scher lives in a wagon train and they have a kitchen wagon that has somehow got itself detached from the rest of the group? Quick, send out a search party.

Scher lives on take-aways and there's no-one to send out to the chippy. :eek2: No, never, can't be.

Scher is proper poorly and her eyes are all swollen and puffy and she can't see out of them. Poor girl, I hope not.

Scher is working so hard she hasn't had time to cook for ages and remembers it's something to do with this room with a stove in it, somewhere round this corner... Maybe....

Scher is working so hard, she has barricaded herself in her study with books, files, papers etc, and has to mine her way out even though hunger is gnawing at her and weakening her frenzied attempts to reach sustenance... Quick, someone send out a St Bernard with a barrel of chocolate.

Scher, do please post something and let us know you are alive and well. And fed. :)

[Scheherazade]

Scher, do please post something and let us know you are alive and well. And fed. :)Thanks for the concern, Kasie! You are a true friend! :p

Well, I normally spend a considerable amount of time in the kitchen (even though I would not consider myself a culinary goddess)... My residential address goes:

Ms Scheherazade
The Kitchen
Scher's House
England

I even got a small corner in the kitchen where I can plug my laptop in without risking getting it ruined by steam and oil.

However, your guess that my studies got the better of me yesterday was correct... I did manage to find my way at the end to prepare the planned pasta bolognese with much difficulty and effort!

Tonight, however, was a different story: I was so tired at the end of the day that it had to be kebabs from the local kebab shop, which is rare treat! :)

[kasie]

Am much relieved to hear you are surviving (just - kebabs?!?), Scher. I too seem to spend most of my time in the kitchen: either I'm too lazy to move to another place to sit - most of my stuff seems to gravitate to the kitchen table - or it's genetic - both grandmas were professional cooks. Wish they had stayed around longer, not only for me to benefit by their expertise, they were lovely ladies.

[Scheherazade]

Am much relieved to hear you are surviving (just - kebabs?!?), Scher. Oh, don't tell me you don't like kebabs! I like them very much (though try not to have them as often as I would like :p)

Wish they had stayed around longer, not only for me to benefit by their expertise, they were lovely ladies.Did they leave behind any recipe books? It'd be great to carry on the family tradition in that way :)

I always dream of having a house with a huge kitchen where I can actually live throughout the day but I don't think I will ever be able to afford that. Or even if I did, I would probably end up working round the clock to pay off the mortgage.

Tonight, had homemade lentil soup with fresh bread.

And some sushi (I am getting addicted to it, I am afraid).
I love me some sushi. What kind do you get? You don't make it yourself, do you? Do you use wasabi? Ginger? Soy?

Get back to me on this matter as soon as possible, please.

[Scheherazade]

There is another box in the fridge... Is it still safe to eat? What happens if one eats "bad" sushi?

[papayahed]

There is another box in the fridge... Is itstill safe to eat ? What happens if one eats "bad" sushi?


:puke:

or

:sick:

[Basil]

Don't listen to her, Scher; there's no such thing as bad sushi. Why, you could save it until next week if you wanted.

[Scheherazade]

Don't listen to her, Scher; there's no such thing as bad sushi. Why, you could save it until next week if you wanted.Why am I not feeling *oh, so reassured* by this?

:rolleyes:

[BienvenuJDC]

My wife made pork chops, mashed potatoes, corn, and crescent rolls. It was delicious.

[Scheherazade]

Home-made lentil soup followed by home made pastries with leek (:sick:) and cheese (:thumbs_up) fillings with yoghurt.

Took almost 3 hours to prepare (and another hour to clear up after the dinner) but it was worth it... I hope.

[Shalot]

I made spaghetti. Last time I made it, I wrote down my recipe for the sauce and this time I attempted to repeat that recipe and it turned out better. But I just remembered that I left onion out of the sauce this time so that might have been why the amount of salt I was using didn't seem sufficient...okay. So this means that I still don't have my recipe down. Oh well, I'll try again next time. It's edible. In fact, I think it's really good. It's just that every time I go to make I'm not guaranteed that it will be the same.

[skib]

PORK LOIN POT ROAST! and potato/cheese casserole. holy crap it was amazing.

[Madhuri]

I will be making chole-bhature tonight.

It's the festival of Holi (a festival where we play with colours) today; as there was no one to play with, I thought of celebrating it in some way, so 'am preparing this dish tonight. :D

OMG I love scalloped potatoes, but they're so much trouble to make.

I had Kraft Dinner for supper, I was feeling particularly industrious so I made the stove top kind instead of the microwaveable kind.

Recipes, please! :)


Tonight's dinner:

Baked foil wrapped salmon, mash potatoes and steamed vegetables (mange tout, baby corn and carrots).

One of my favorite meals.

[pussnboots]

spaghetti squash with pasta!!

[JuniperWoolf]

My dad went ice fishing this weekend, so I'm having trout.

[Madhuri]

Is idli like rice cakes? And the chickpea chutney, is it like houmous?

Recipes, please! :)



Idli:
1) soak a cup of black gram (without the outer layer) and about 3 cups of rice overnight, separately
2) next day, grind the ingredients and make a thick paste of it
3) add the required quantity of baking soda and salt as per taste in the batter, and leave it to ferment for about 7-8 hrs
4)In an idli stand/or whichever utensil you can use to make the idlis, apply some oil to grease the base, then pour the required quantity of the batter
5) Then, in a pressure cooker/or any vessel in which you can steam the idlis, add some water, enough to generate steam. Place the idli stand, take out the pressure cooker whistle and close the lid.

Let it cook for about 10-15 mins

After it cools down you can take out the idlis and eat it with chutney.

Alternatively, you can use ready-made batter if that is available in the market, there.

Chutney recipie:
-soak the roasted chickpea for 10-15 mins
-once done, add some green chillies and salt, and then grind everything adding some water.
-in a separate pan, pour very little oil, once heated, add some mustard seeds to it.
Then add this to the paste.

I don't really know the ingredients of a rice cake or what a houmous is...

[Scheherazade]

Thank you very much, Madhuri. They both sound really delicious. I think I can give chutney a try without much difficulty but not sure if I can cope with Idli. What does the stand look like?


Tonight> Oven baked pasta, mixed salad and yoghurt.

[Madhuri]

The stand looks like this:

I am wondering if a small size steamer would do the trick...

Tonight, there was no cooking at Scher-household:

Smoked salmon, cucumber and lemon slices, cream cheese and fresh bread.

And strawberries.

[Madhuri]

Yeah, I think the steamer would serve the purpose.

The other night I grilled a Banana....:banana:

[stephofthenight]

The best is a bannana honey peanutbutter chocolate samwich grilled. :D
Take your bread cover it in peanutbutter, add your sliced banana drizzle honey on top than cover other piece of bread in chocolate and grill. also yummy fried but the best is to take a syringe fill it with melted peanut butter/chocolate and inject a banana full with it and deep fry it with cinnamin and cornflakes around it.... omg... YUMMMY

oh and loving the bannana dancing becuase you grilled him lol :D how ironic

Chicken Teriyaki...really need to use the vegetables before they go bad..

[applepie]

Cheeseburgers for dinner tonight. It is far to pretty out to not use the grill. I make my own patties though, so they have a little bit of rolled oats in them to hold in the moisture, a bit of BBQ sauce, and all my salt and seasonings inside. They really do turn out great:)

We're also having salad and melon since we need to eat up the produce I bought.
