So...whats for dinner?

Hi all
I've lost some of my taste with having constant chemo so been having curries and anything else with lots of flavour. I had roast vegies and chicken tonight and enjoyed that. Winter is really here now so lots of soups as well.
On the other side of Australia they are selling iceberg lettuce for $10 !!! With the flooding they had earlier in the year the fruit and veg is in short supply. Luckily not that price here, about $3.50. Food prices have gone up a lot, worldwide, I suppose because of petrol(gas) prices.
I still haven't had Covid yet yeah !!!

Last night's dinner was store-made brats cooked on the grill at low temperature and broccoli salad. My brat was cheese and jalapeno and dh's two brats were four cheese. We find that the brats with cheese stay more moist when cooked to temperature. I don't like raw broccoli so I blanched the small pieces in the microwave. Other ingredients were what I had on hand: grated cheddar, raisins, peanuts. Dressing was light mayo and a packet of splenda. I omitted the popular ingredient of red onion because including it would have eliminated the salad for me!
Aussie, how would you describe the "curries" you are eating? DH and I watch a lot of British tv and the characters eat curry takeout, which seems very popular.
Minus, I know you are disappointed that your son's visit was delayed.
I gave myself a vacuuming machine several years ago and it didn't work well for me. My carpet is thick and you have to make sure it doesn't get tangled up in electrical cords. Also it's necessary to limit its territory because it will wander from room to room. The machines work better on thinner carpets and wood floors. Their erratic patterns of movement can leave debris untouched. In my bedroom it spent a lot of time under the bed! I gave it to my sister.

Carole I just use a jar of curry sauce as I'm too lazy to cook from scratch and the flavours are nice from the jars. I like rogan josh, butter chicken and coconut and cashew. I just have rice with it.
I've noticed the English love there curries. One of there favourites is curry sauce on chips.
0 -
Thanks, Aussie. I'll check out the jars you mention if they're available here in America/Norway otherwise known as Minnesota where rice is not a common dish. Potatoes reign!
A couple of years ago we were invited to dinner and told we would be having home-made red gravy. We assumed the entree would include pasta. Nope. Mashed potatoes. LOL. Delicious mashed potatoes, I should add. Every potluck meal includes cheesy potatoes made with hash brown potatoes, either frozen or hand grated. Funeral potatoes is a great favorite. Casseroles are "hot dishes."

At Butchart Gardens in Victoria, BC I once had the most amazing chicken salad—made with curry mayo, currant chutney and on crustless white bread spread with English mustard. That’s saying a lot, because the crust is my favorite part of bread and I’m no fan of white bread.
Tonight at a sports bar down in Minooka I had a “California chicken” sandwich: grilled breast, provolone, lettuce/tomato/dill pickles/red onion, and guacamole on a brioche bun. Came with a side of really good slaw. Broke my heart to have to put the bun aside, though

Last night we had leftover cornmeal "pudding" stuff.
Tonight, I oven roasted asian marinated tofu; roasted maitake, black oyster, Lion's mane mushrooms. Then I stir fried red onion, spinach and when all of that was heated through with the sauce/spice, I folded in the 'shrooms and tofu. Served on a bed of sweet potato.
Leftovers tomorrow.

Carole the curry brands are Patak's rogan josh and I also use Sharwood's brand. Rice is very popular here, still half empty shelves in the supermarkets of some rice. I love potatoes as well, I eat heaps.
I had mashed potato, cabbage and chicken skewers tonight. Am watching Masterchef and all their yummy meals, I will need to find their recipes.

Yesterday was the Farmers Market. The hours are 9 to 1. We were set up by 8:45. I went to buy breakfast. McDonald's was busy and I knew it would be 45 minutes at least so I went to Burger King, which seems to be less popular. I ordered two sausage egg croissants and two coffees. The croissants are two for the price of one so the cost was $6.
Dinner was grilled hamburger patties and tossed romaine salad with our favorite additions.
I bought a bundle of beautiful Swiss shard, radishes and salad turnips (no tops) from two veggie vendors. Also a dozen eggs from the Amish. They've raised their price from $3 last year to $4. I will cook the turnips and Swiss shard tonight

102 in the shade of my North side patio today. Food choices have been related to the heat. Salad yesterday with the addition of cucumbers I'd marinated w/onions in sour cream. Today was leftover cold potato salad for breakfast. Tonight I turned the oven on for 10 minutes to cook Naan pizzas tonight w/black olives, onion & fresh mushrooms. Tomorrow will be the leftover half of my Prime Rib French Dip from Friday's lunch - likely cold w/mayo.
Fingers crossed - Best Buy is supposed to deliver & install the icemaker in the fridge I bought in March. I'm not holding my breath since it has been postponed 5x so far. I spent the weekend "on strike". Too hot to go outside so I treated myself to nothing but reading. Finished two books & am half way through the second. I guess I should feel guilty, but I don't.
Carole - do you have less work to do with the owners there? Eric - how are you settling in? Special & Nance & Lacey - miss you. Jazzy & Goldie - hope you'll come back. Along with a number of others who are not adjusting well to this "new" BCO site mess.

We still don't have internet or telephone service at the house and someone shotgunned an overhead finer optic cable and most of northeast Arizona was without any communications except 2+way radio...so I haven't been able to check here.
We are in Phoenix, taking up another load..and things are settling in nicely at the new place.

eric - glad things are unfolding well at the new abode, other than the comms issues.
Dinners have not been too exciting here - DH has been eating lunch late - for a variety of reasons - and this has resulted in some nights with no dinners. Thus, no posting about dinners, lol! We are not well synced up with evening timing - I get hungry about 5pm, so I eat something little, then he gets home late - often at 8pm or so, and isn't hungry. I did make a stir fry last night with beef, yellow peppers, scallion, and celery with a teriyaki based sauce and added hot sauce, over brown rice. The night before I made cauliflower crust pizza - chicken Italian sausage, artichoke heart, fresh mozzarella for DH and artichoke heart, red pepper, black olive, shallot, and goat cheese for me. I am planning chicken thighs tonight with a grainy mustard sauce, asparagus, and sweet potato chunks roasted with cinnamon for tonight. Am thinking about Father's Day and a menu - DD is bringing her big Traeger over and will do lots of ribs, a fave of DH. This is a surprise for him. He also loves cole slaw so I will probably do that and some baked beans. Maybe a carrot cake for dessert - also a fave of his.
minus - Did you get the ice maker? You know I feel ya on appliance delays... I would be on strike too in that heat! Interestingly, our weather here has been relatively mild so far. Relatively is the key work - for those in dry climes, it would be considered somewhat terrible...it has been quite rainy - which we needed. I am a tad worried about hurricane season as the predictions are for a repeat of 2005, which was bad here. We arrived in 2006 and missed all that but I remember when I flew over the state in the late fall of 2005 with DS doing his college tour there were a lot of blue tarps on roofs. I am in that limbo of having a 20 year old roof - do I clam the existing wind damage and get cancelled after insurance pays for a new roof, and then have to shop for a new policy that may be more expensive and with a much higher deductible based on my claim payout? Do I roll the dice that my roof gets through storm season? My neighbor just got cancelled by his company - for no discernable reason other than some companies are leaving FL - after he elected not to replace his roof. Now he is having a hard time finding an insurance company because he has a damaged 20 year old roof...ugh.

Minustwo, I hope you make it through the heat and SpecialK, I hope you weather hurricane season okay. That is a conundrum about the roof.
You mentioned carrot cake which was that one thing I made repeatedly during the pandemic in an 8x8" pan, just the right size for dh and I. This spring when we bought vegetable plants at a Mennonite greenhouse, I bought one of their carrot cakes and yum-oh! It had the right everything. We scarfed it down. I plan to get some for 4th of July gatherings.
Over the weekend, I made grilled cheese. I've been experimenting to try to make it more interesting. I shredded a block of sharp cheddar and put that on buttered slices of Dave's Killer White Bread which is apparently one of the better white breads. I can't eat the pasty white bread but find multigrain too sweet. The sandwich turned out pretty good, better tasting than Kraft cheese slices. Served with Campbells tomato soup made with milk. A nice quick meal.
Does anyone use a rotary cheese shredder? If so, any recommendations? I have a box grater but it's hard work, so I'm looking at hand held and stand alone ones. With the stand alone, I could use it for more things like to shred potatoes.

divine - I have lived in Florida for 15 years, but I have never acclimated to the weather - I am a California girl - give me a quick earthquake over a slowly advancing hurricane any day, lol! When I was first married to DH we were visiting his parents and I was chatting with his mom while she cooked. There was always a big crowd to cook for since he had a big family and she grated some cheese while I was in the kitchen with her - by using the shredding blade in her food processor. She would grate different types and keep it in ziplock bags in the fridge. The cheese grated off the block seems to taste better than the pre-bagged sold in the store, plus it doesn't have the anti-caking additives. Do you have a food processor? Even a mini one with a shredding blade works. I have a little grating kit from OXO called the Good Grip Grate and Slice set - it is available at Target, or Amazon, or Bed, Bath & Beyond. It has interchangeable grating/slicing plates you set on top of a box that collects what you have grated, which also stores all of the parts when not in use. I like it and have found that I like the size of the shreds and I am less likely to grate my knuckles or fingers since I am grating horizontally rather than vertically. I happened to watch an episode of Valerie Bertinelli's cooking show last night that I had recorded and she made a grilled cheese with a filling made from spinach, ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan, which made a spreadable mixture. I sometimes make grilled ham and cheese, and have occasionally made grilled cheese with bacon or added pesto to the mayo on the inside of the bread. You could add sun dried tomatoes or bacon jam, or use a flavored mayo like aioli. Trader Joe's has a cheddar cheese that has caramelized onion in it, which would be stellar in a sandwich.

The fiber optic cable has been repaired. I'm back to my 1 bar of cell (internet) service. The 50 hour long "communications blackout" was felt throughout most of northeast Arizona--about 1/5 of the state. The Pipeline fire in the "suburbs" of Flagstaff, which has an unfortunate likelihood of causing a huge amount of heartache, is (rightfully) getting all the news coverage.
There has bern no word regarding the installation of "regular" home internet. The cable has been buried, so that's a start...maybe once everything fiber optic related us cleaned up. Anyway, I'm still reading and typing on a smartphone.
The latest dinners have been spaghetti with homemade sauce and fish tacos,

Eric, glad you are settling in.
Minus, I don't know how you guys do it with those temps. We are currently at 56 and people here whine that it is "Junuary"...I will take this all day long. Having lived in the Midwest and looking at the temps there, I have to kiss DH every day to thank him for hauling me out here, kicking and screaming. My heart goes out to all that will have horrible utility bills. Our heat kicked in a few times, but I'd much rather have that than crankin' up the a/c. I know, I know...it's only June and I have July and August to deal with...still...Some days I feel like I'm wishing my life away...October, anyone?
I used Rao's sauce for the first time. I was a tad shocked at the sodium but I confess, it is yummy. I'll still buy the Prego or whatever is on sale for 99cents/jar but if I am out, this will be my go-to. Thank you, ladies.
I made a penne with zucchini, asparagus and my protein of choice was Jimmy-dean breakfast sausage (trying to clean out the freezer). TONS of leftovers. I may freeze a container.

Divine - If you have a recipe for the 8x8 carrot cake and it's just one "layer", I'd really like to try it. Two layers are too much for one person. I seem to have lost even my box grater and just have the old flat one like my Mother had. I like Special's recommendations.
Eric - glad you're settling in & hope for a "real" connection soon.
Special - thanks for asking about the ice maker. The saga goes on. They did come to deliver & install this morning (finally), but it was the incorrect model # for my fridge with the wrong connections. So... Best Buy no longer sells the one that goes w/my fridge. But supposedly they have ordered one from a national parts supplier to be shipped directly to my house. Next install appointment is 6/22. If it weren't so sad (and so darn hot here) it would be hilarious. I hear ya about the roof. Difficult decision.
Wally - In 2018 I flew into Seattle and drove to Sequim to stay with old friends, and had lunch at the Downrigger in Port Angeles with another friend. Then drove down to visit a friend in Newport, OR. Wonderful trip!!! I wonder if all the Rao's varieties have the same sodium? The Marinara in my cupboard is 380.
0 -
Minus, I think the marinara with basil had 480 mg for 1/2 cup. I don't typically monitor my salt so this must have stood out to me. But hey, I've eaten capers without rinsing them (talk about pucker-mouth!). Sounds like a lovely trip. We are lucky (so far) this year...rain, cool and no fires. The last 3 years were not as nice, so I treasure the good ones.

SpecialK, our wind and hail insurer withdrew from Louisiana so we had to get a new insurer for this year. We're with Louisiana Citizens, which is run by the state. Kind of an insurer of last resort. As climate change slowly does its thing, there will be fewer insurers and pricier policies.
Minus, our duties remain the same except for grass cutting. Bud, the owner (60's), without speaking of his intentions, mows the grass and collects the clippings. He parks a small trailor hooked to a four wheeler nearby and dumps the clippings in the trailor. We're sure that his wife is behind the urge to created a manicured appearance. They are Mr. and Mrs. Spick and Span.
Yesterday was No Cook Monday. We had breakfast at West Forty, our favorite of the two popular diners in town. First we went to the gym where I perspired enough to allow myself to order biscuit and sausage gravy with sausage patties for breakfast. I also took a few bites of dh's "cake." It's common in both diners to order a pancake in place of toast.
Then for dinner we went to nearby Clancy's for Meatloaf Monday special. DH loves his meatloaf and he likes the Clancy's version. I had a house salad and a walleye sandwich. The walleye was from a box in the freezer but it tasted good.
Tonight will be a pasta dish with sauteed veggies and a white sauce of cream cheese and sour cream and grated romano.

carole - Citizens is also here in FL and is the same, the insurer of last resort. Our roof qualifies for replacement due to shingles bent at a 90 degree angle due to documented wind above a certain mph that was not a hurricane, but I kind of feel philosophically opposed to claiming against our insurer (USAA) even though we have paid double in premiums for what a new roof would cost over the time we have owned this house. It seems like normal wear and tear living in this environment, which we knew about when we bought here. Do I pay $20K for a new roof myself, or risk policy cancellation and increased costs with a new insurer if I can find one. It is a dilemma with no good solution.
minus - all of this stuff is frustrating and ridiculous, right? I finally (finally, arrggghhh) got my new half of a French door about two weeks ago - to replace the one that was warped when originally installed late last year. This is a custom door - in that I specified the number of panes in the mullion to match the ones in the house that you can see from the vantage point - and it is 96" tall. When they re-ordered it the mullion was totally wrong so the two door halves didn't match. It was re-ordered again, taking 3 months for each of those orders, and it was finally done! We started this project with the initial order of three doors (French, swinging glass, and huge pocket slider) in Feb of 2021! If it could go wrong it did - each door was delivered separately instead of together when the last one arrived - all of which are 96" tall, and the slider was 96" wide - where does one put doors that big? Answer - in the garage instead of my car. They could not be installed until the last one arrived. The whole thing was a mess from start to finish other than the salesman and the installer, who are awesome. If I ever replace any other windows and doors I will buy them locally and have them installed by the guy who did these. The doors were ordered through a large retailer and they contracted him - but they just decided not to renew his contract since he is a one-man band - they want big commercial installers. I'm sure it is a corporate decision because everyone at the local store knows and loves him, and respects his quality of work. He's a gem.
I ended up making black bean soup for DH last night with sour cream, red onion, and cheddar as toppings. I ate the rest of my pizza from earlier at about 5pm so I had nothing. Tonight will be the chicken I was going to do last night!

We have USAA as well and I agree that an insurer shouldn't pay normal maintenance costs.
During Oct 2010, I got tired of worrying about the 25 year old roof (large sections would rise up in a sort of bubble when rhere were string winds) and I had it replaced.
The day after the roof was finished, there was a HUGE wind and hail storm (80mph winds, 1 inch hail). USAA, the city and the roofer checked the roof and all was good.
There were only two houses in the neighborhood that didn't have blue roofs for several months.
USAA did lower our rates by about $300 a year, for about 10 years.....not that even came close to paying for the roof :-)

For those of you that do a lot of online ordering (like food, vitamins, etc.), what do you do during these hot summer months? I ordered fish oil once, last year when it hit 99, which is a 20 year event, and the capsules arrived congealed together. Curious if there's any precautions or something that I can do if I choose to order.

SpecialK, I love the description of the Oxo Good Grips slicer set, found it on Amazon and plan to order it. I've wanted something like that for awhile, and I love that all parts store inside the plastic container. Thanks for the tip! And Valerie Bertanelli's spinach, ricotta, mozzarella and parmesan sandwich sounds right up my alley. I googled the recipe and want to try making it. Sadly, no Trader Joe's near me, but the cheese with caramelized onions sounds good.
Minustwo, yes, the carrot cake recipe is one layer. Here it is with an online photo since it looks so tasty! (I prefer the cake without raisins.) I use store bought cream cheese frosting but included the recipe for it in case you want to make homemade.Here's the page link: https://www.thespruceeats.com/one-layer-carrot-cake-3052459

coconut curry with cauliflower, spinach, tomatoes (I actually used the leftover jar of salsa in the fridge), chickpeas and asparagus. Delicious!
0 -
Thanks Divine. I'll make with pecans even though it's not traditional since I'm allergic to walnuts.
Wally - If you know someone who still works, you can have things like that sent to an office. I used to do that before I retired. Now I just don't order something that might 'melt' from April through October.
I too just went ahead & replaced my own roof about 5 years ago. I know lots of people who claimed "hail damage" and called their insurance companies, but it was worth it to me to just get it done when there wasn't an emergency.
I took my car back to the shop today. The valve cover gasket that they replaced earlier this month apparently slipped when they were installing and it had been leaking a little more every day. Job was re-done under warranty for both parts & labor - plus this shop takes me home while the work is being done & picks me back up when it's finished at the end of the day.
Dinner was 1/4 jar of Rao's with LOTS of fresh mushrooms and sour cream to make it a Rosa sauce. I added some TJ's flame broiled meatballs and served with leftover linguine from the freezer (thanks so much carole for sharing that tip). As my Mother would have said - I'm full as a tick.
0 -
LOL, full as a tick, LOL.
Thanks minus. I am home most days so the issue isn't how soon I can get it inside, the issue is a sweltering 100+ degree van carrying the stuff and driving around without a/c in the delivery trucks.

The pasta and veggies dish last night was delicious. The veggies were sliced leek, small yellow squash, and large asparagus. The pasta was linguini out of the freezer. The sauce was cream cheese and sour cream mixed with the olive oil in the skillet. We learned this sauce from a Hello Fresh meal last year. Cheese was hand grated romano we brought north with us.
SpecialK shared the tip that pasta can be frozen. Now I always cook the whole package of pasta and have enough left over to freeze for another meal.

divine - I love my OXO set and have found that the parts seem to be sturdy and good quality. I have a number of kitchen tools from OXO and I like them all, particularly a manual can opener and vegetable peeler. My Trader Joe's is quite a drive away, wish I had one closer! Thanks for the smaller carrot cake recipe - it is DH's fave and I may just make that for Father's Day!
The frozen pasta thing happened because I used to get pouches of frozen penne from my frozen food guy who comes every two weeks. I have been using this service for close to 30 years in all of the various places we have lived. For whatever reason, which I try not to take personally, they always discontinue the stuff I love! That is what happened with the frozen penne, which was awesome because it took two mins to cook in the microwave and was enough for a dinner for two. They have also discontinued their very good frozen peaches that I used for cobbler, and the genius frozen tube of blueberry muffin batter that you could thaw overnight and then snip the end off and pipe right into the muffin pan - no dirty dishes! I decided to try freezing my own cooked pasta and found that it worked great. Maybe I will try mixing blueberry muffin batter and spooning it into a zip lock and then freezing, lol!
So, last night was supposed to be chicken, but DD texted me at about 5pm and said she and her dad were going to see Coldplay in concert since she got some last minute tickets. He zoomed home from work, quickly changed clothes and zoomed off to pick her up. So, off they went, and I made no chicken. I have to use it tonight but I think I will do chicken parm over cauliflower linguine and steamed green beans.
carole - thanks for the cream cheese/sour cream idea for pasta sauce - I love alfredo type pasta but it is dairy heavy. I have now identified brands of DF cream cheese (Trader Joe's) and sour cream (Follow Your Heart) that taste and look decent so I am going to try this!
0 -
It's 173 miles, each way, to the nearest Trader Joes. I guess we're isolated. :-) That's okay as we prefer the space, peace and quiet over nearby shopping!
- The OXO manual can opener we have is "most excellent". We also have the peeler, a pastry scraper/cutter and a "not sure what it is called...cuts shortening into flour" from OXO that are all almost as good as the can opener.

Fri. night with my friend down in Minooka (where I was staying for the dulcimer festival in nearby Morris where I was teaching all weekend), we went to a sports bar that used to be Bean Encounters--a coffeehouse/restaurant where I had performed with two different bands. Tough to stay on my diet, but I managed: "California Chicken" sandwich, which was a grilled breast with guacamole, provolone, lettuce, tomato, dill pickle chips & red onion on a brioche bun (which I removed). Sat. night we nuked cauliflower, broccoli and beef fajita strips.
When I returned Sunday night, Bob & I walked to Regalia--where we'd hoped to try out their new patio but it was too chilly (57F) and windy, so we ate indoors. We shared an app of "Buffalo panna cotta:" a terrine of mozzarella di bufala whipped with creme fraiche, with pesto and a sundried tomato sauce. My entree was Chilean sea bass with chimichurri sauce and grilled asparagus. He had potato soup, followed by spinach gnudi with shrimp & calamari.
Had planned to grill Monday night, but on the way home from the farmers' market (where it was clear, 70F and breezy enough that I needed long jeans & an overshirt) & grocery, my AppleWatch "blew up" with severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings (warning, not "watch"). It was already over 80F and I ditched the overshirt. A mile & a half from home the tornado sirens started up and so did the lightning. Made it into the house with my perishables and down to the basement with minutes to spare. Spent an hour down there with Bob, one of our very panicked cats, and my iPad watching live weather reports with morbid fascination as the sky turned black and the winds were so strong that they sounded like jets flying low overhead. We went back upstairs when the all-clear siren sounded.
I figured the gas grill's venturis were too wet for the burners to light, and the grill would've been more of a steam chamber anyway, so I cranked up the range vent & ceiling fan, threw open the back door so any smoke would go out the storm door screen, and seared a ribeye in cast iron. Nuked Bob's leftover entree too (for him, as a surf & turf), roasted some Brussels sprouts (butter, olive oil, seasoning packet) in the toaster-oven, and ate Jerusalem salad from the supermarket, followed by local strawberries & aceto balsamico DOP for dessert.
Last night it was simply too hot (98F) to go anywhere to dine outdoors, and I didn't want to stand over the hot gas grill long enough to oil the grates to keep the golden tilefish (which I picked up from Hooked on Fish) from sticking. So I grilled asparagus (marinated in olive oil & supermarket balsamic) and an ear of bicolor corn, seasoned afterward with salt butter (I ate the tip, about 2.5").
I cooked the tilefish as a variation of Melissa Clark's NYTimes recipe. I put salt & pepper and a drop or two of grapeseed oil into a cold ceramic nonstick skillet before adding the fish, salted & peppered on top, skin side down. Placed a pat of butter on either side of the filet and turned the burner on to medium. When the butter melted, I added chopped herbs (scallion, tarragon, thyme) and lemon juice. I turned off the burner and basted the top of the fish with the pan sauce till the flesh was opaque, then put it on a plate and poured the rest of the sauce over it, garnished with parsley sprigs. (I omitted the capers, which sounded like overkill and would have tasted somewhat confusing anyway). I served it all after first whitefish & salmon roes as an app, followed by an insalata Caprese over baby arugula. And even though I cooked it indoors, the fish didn't stink up the kitchen (probably because of building the pan sauce as it cooked).
It's hot out again today, but maybe it'll be tolerable tonight for patio dining. They moved the severe storm's onset to about midnight.

Eric, that OXO implement is called a "pastry blender." Since I don't bake, I don't own one. But it's good for biscuit or piecrust dough if you don't want to use a food processor.
