What's for dinner? -- 2022 onwards
Mod hat on: The prior two-decades old thread was getting unwieldy....
Leftover chili and refried beans to make nachos |
Mexican supper tonight at Baja Cantina, carmel valley ca
happy new year! |
It will depend on what’s open. Last night I suggested a midday meal out because tonight more rough weather is forecast and we will want to be near our places of safety when the sirens go off. My expectation is Struts or Jefferson’s for wings and beer.
|
We're going to try our hand at making a choucroute garnie today.
|
Country style ribs
Chicken wings Cole slaw Collards Not seen are the black eyed peas my parents ate earlier as I don't cook black eyed peas. They're lucky I cooked collards this afternoon as I don't like to make them either https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...91b9d920fc.jpg |

That reminds me that I soooo prefer cooked carrots to raw. Yet I eat raw carrots far more often. New Years resolution - more cooked carrots.

PS yours look delicious. I can polish off a lb of roasted carrots but raw I rarely have unless they are shredded like in cole slaw or something. Baby raw carrots aren't too bad,...dipped in ranch. |
In Vegas again--was here to bet on the Sunday football games. With all of the fish talk I've been participating in, leaning towards having dinner at Yellowtail and try all the different kinds of fish on the menu.

Put the filling in a ziploc bag and seal. Cut a corner of the bag and gently squeeze to fill the shells.
Next time I will get it right! |

I actually tried this. Unfortunately, I cut a little too much off on the corner. So, too much filling was coming out, making a mess.

I always try to remember the rule of thumb in cooking... you can always add, you can't subtract... but that said, if your filling is too thin, then it don't matter if the hole is big or small. :)

You can also use a piping bag with a small tip.

Is a piping bag that thing used to decorate a cake? I never knew what it was called. (You can tell, I’m not a master baker). I just called it that bag thing that you squeeze to decorate a cake!🙂

Tonight, halibut with grains and a kale salad. That alone might not tell you it's January, but my meals are going to look very similar to that unless I can go back in time to before Thanksgiving. |

I prefer them the way your family does. Hopefully with a little onion dip. But I recall Corky posted some bacon wrapped carrots a while back that I still need to try.

We attended a potluck event tonight with a Hawaiian theme. I made sandwiches on Kings Hawaiian rolls using ham, emmentaler cheese and either a sweet pickle or a thin slice of pineapple.
Our table was called last and the entire front half of the buffet table was wiped out. As a result I had like 6 different kinds of meatballs in sweet and sour sauce and some odd cole slaw. Odd as in how? One of the ingredients appears to be uncooked ramen noodles. |
