So...whats for dinner?

I love the days my neighborhood friends play Chickenfoot (a domino game). Most of the time everyone just brings something with no planning, so you never know what you'll get. Today we had shrimp dip (an old one with cream cheese & mayo), a banana pecan cake, a salad w/field greens & tangerines & grapefruit, an angel food cake w/fresh strawberries & whipped cream, sturdy straight wheat pretzels & a honey/mustard/sesame dip, rice cracker mix w/peas, truffles, etc. Always too much food so no dinner tonight.
Eric - am I remembering that your Mother is 90? I finally took the financial chores over from my father when he hit 92. Hope you find something that works for home care. We found the most loving young woman from Tonga who sang to my Mother while she changed her diapers & feeding tube, and massaged cream into her skin every day. When Mother died, she stayed on to care for my Dad for the 3 years until he died - although that was a much harder task since he didn't want anyone to do anything.
Bedo - 50 degrees? I would be frozen. I'm trying to keep the house at 68 but I'm wearing sweaters & a hat & sometimes gloves inside, and have a ceramic dish heater that I position by my feet when I'm reading.

Hmmm . Well it looks like a cheesecake. . .

So how is the taste and texture???? You are being VERY adventuresome with that pressure cooker!

It is delicious. Very dense and smooth New York style. And no cracks! Even the crust is good, which really surprised me. I used shortbread for the crust for fear anything else would be soggy. The continuing adventures in pressure cooking!

So... C arrived home around 8:30. I served her some supper. Her plate has some thinly sliced flank steak, half an avocado, a modest amount of pico de gallo, and a nice serving of black beans. She is very French, so first she ate her beans. Then she began on the avocado with salsa, intermingled with a bit of meat. Then she finished the meat. She asked if she could have some more the pico de gallo. Well, she took the spoon and ate the entire bowl of salsa! I think she likes freshly made Mexican food.

Susan, I love how adventurous C is...with her travels and new food experiences! I'm curious about how she found/liked things north of the White Mountains. I am glad that you are being good to yourself such that you can enjoy your remaining visit/touring with her. As usual, smart lady!
I obviously got DH stirred up about the braciole talk. He keeps asking if anyone on our thread has made it yet. LOL! There is a clear message in that from the man who enjoyed a major red meat feast already this week! Tonight after we returned from the movies I heated up leftovers from the "dinner party", and made another Greek salad (American style, with romaine). I enjoyed it all better than I did Tuesday evening.
Sunshine, you are sounding like my idea of a perfect personal chef!
Today my hairdresser trimmed my Repunzel locks perfectly...so much so that my hair is not even "shocked" and uncooperative like it usually is after a cut. Love such small victories!
Meanwhile, my oncologist's office called to reschedule my next Friday appt., and I agreed to squeeze it in to next Thursday, which I am realizing now is a bad idea since I will need bloodwork, and my MO is often interrupted during our exam, so we always finish my appt. after a very protracted time. Since I am squeezing this in between the K classes I teach, I will feel stressed about getting back in time...and I'd prefer to have a clear mind when I see her. So I guess I won't be able to see her until Feb sometime.
While in the movie, I had a voicemail from the orthopod about my shoulder MRI results. She said it did show something that we can discuss about how to approach, which I'm really hoping is not surgery. I have to say that since she was calling me at 7:30 on a Friday night, she reminded me of DS1 and DDIL who are always calling pts from home with test results and follow ups. It makes me think about how so many of our doc friends have grown children who have chosen not to go into medicine for their careers, but then I suppose technology folks are also rarely "off the clock" when they are home. I used to stay at my office until 7 (even tho it was in a school) so that I could get my parent calls and outside therapist calls and admin workdone before I went home to make dinner.
Carole, I'm so excited for you about the chosen hats....and relieved that you were able to remedy being "seized by weak hunger" with such a nice lunch at a newly discovered spot! I thought of you today when I was in a store with tons of yarn on sale. Not sure if I mentioned that I am making felted wool dryer balls. Have yet to get to the felting process.
Nance, I may need to forget about getting a pressure cooker if such temptations like your pictured NY style cheesecake would be born of it. Yikes....and Yum!!

My new bras (a band size and therefore a cup size larger) arrived today--and once again my cleavage is vertical & centered. (No red marks, either). I decided to relentlessly weed out and organize my underwear drawers (in my dresser, not on my person). I was ruthless--any frayed elastic, ladders, holes in the lace and out they went. Bob took a look and asked “Who are you and what have you done with my wife?”
Did indeed make those steaks. Baked a small sweet potato and when done, split and seasoned it with salt, pepper & cinnamon. Pan-roasted halved Brussels sprouts in olive oil, then tossed with balsamic vinegar and black truffle salt. After seasoning with just salt & pepper, seared the steaks 2 min. per surface. Deglazed the pan with red wine; added minced shallots, wild mushrooms, the juices from the resting steaks, a splash of sherry and chopped parsley. Didn’t need to add butter. Tried a couple of ounces of that 2010 Bordeaux Superieur I tapped with the Coravin last month, and it hasn’t changed at all--still sort of malic (apple-skin taste), with a wine-cellar aroma (grape skins, fruit) and some tannin.

Nance, is it an electric pressure cooker or a stove top?. I want to buy another one, my little one was old and no one made the seal anymore. I'm assuming yours is a 6 qt? If our said I forgot. And that cheese cake looked spectacular!
Susan you bet you're in it for the long haul!.
Lacey fingers crossed for your ortho appt.
Eric sorry about your Mother. It's not easy hugs.
Minus do you set up whose house the Dominos game is ahead of time or is it a phone call thing?
Carole, what pattern do you use for the hats? If my energy picks up i want to do some too. And just a question how did you make it out of Sams club hungry? Don't they still sample?
Chisandy, did you use the gas method to save the wine or the big bulb thing. They had a segment on ATK about it and the balloon thingy was actually one of the better ones. Although the really good gas one was something like 500 dollars or so. LOL
Bedo we keep our house at 70. I still need a sweater and when I read i need a lapghan. LOL
Mommy I'm sure you thought of something. LOL
Mysunshine bass is good.
I went the sea creature way too. I had some fake crab in the freezer. Warmed it up in water with lemon. Drained it and ate it. Had some of the pickled beets too. It filled me up. I gave the crabby water to the cats In their bowls. They slurped it right up. LOL.
It be back below 0 here tonight. It Warmed up on Wed enough for me to put salt down on the sidewalk and on Thursday the sun melted all the ice. But it's supposed to be cold so I hope it drained off before it refreezes.
Much love.

Monica, the Coravin is the argon gas thingy--pricey ($300, but not $500). The reason I didn’t get the inflatable rubber bulb one is that you must keep it in the particular bottle you’re preserving, and have to buy a separate unit (not just the little balloon, which you can’t seal off & detach) for each bottle. The ability to sample and preserve as many bottles as you have argon gas available was what sold me on the Coravin. I used to use the Vacu-Vin pump system with rubber stoppers, but the stoppers eventually leak after about a week or so, need to be replaced, and the pump is tiring to operate. The only real drawback of the Coravin is that it doesn’t work as well on artificial corks--but you can’t tell what kind of cork is in there until you remove the capsule, which you’re not supposed to do with the Coravin: the needle pierces both the capsule & cork, and the capsule does help prevent evaporation after the cork heals itself when the needle is withdrawn. It doesn’t bother me that it doesn’t work for champagne, since you’re going to stopper and chill the leftovers and drink them within the week; nor that it doesn’t work for screw caps, because......well, they’re screw-cap wines, inexpensive enough to kill off the whole bottle.
I once made a diet key lime cheesecake when I was on Weight Watchers. I made nonfat “yogurt cheese” by straining nonfat yogurt overnight in the fridge, and using it as the base. I went through a bag of 20 key limes--probably burned more calories squeezing them (and then having to ice my sore arm) than I took in eating it. I used graham cracker crumbs for the crust, and sweetened it with Splenda. Garnished it with fresh blackberries from my garden. What little I managed to eat (my block party guests made short work of it) was delicious.

Lacey, the good thing is that the pc only accommodates a 7" or smaller spingiform pan. Just right for a weekend dessert for two people. Forgive me, my memory is failing me. When was the MRI? Is it your knee?
Monica, it is electric and in the off chance that I haven't made it clear (ha!), I love it. We're due for two zero nights in a row. Brrrrr!
Chi, I was lucky that the key limes I bought were very juicy. I only had to squeeze a few for the cheesecake. My hand squeezer took care of them but I'll use the electric juicer to squeeze the rest of the bag today to freeze the juice. They are indeed a pain.
Susan, I'm sure C. has enjoyed all your meals. I certainly would!
DH and I were fantasizing about what we would do when we won Powerball (not one number!) After the obvious like new car, take care of dad, move to a warmer climate, housekeeper, pay bills, etc., I said "chef". I wonder if I really would. I love cooking so much would I be willing to turn it over to someone else? Maybe a part time chef. Actually, maybe someone to just tell me what to fix and go get all the ingredients would be enough. Ah, a sous chef!
Because I wasn't happy with the crust last week, tonight is pizza redux. I'm looking for perfection.

Nance, your pc manufacturer should have you QVC! I love that you're having so much fun with your pc and also love that you're so adventuresome.
Moon, I have a collection of crochet hat patterns. There's a gene in my family that I and my siblings all inherited that makes us go "whole hog" at whatever interest we develop. I've done it with pottery, stained glass, fresh water acquariums, gardening. My mo is to amass a library and buy lots of product. You should see the yarn in the guest bedroom. DH's comment was he hoped I used all that yarn before the passion died. I usually donate the library along with the equipment when I phase out the hobby. Fortunately this hobby isn't expensive although I'm shocked to see what decorative buttons cost now. Some of the hat patterns call for buttons as embellishment. Recently I finished up a spool of thread (different subject) that had a wooden spool and a price of 33 cents. It was OLD. A similar spool of thread now on a plastic spool is $3 or $4, depending on whether you buy it at Walmart or Hobby Lobby.
Sorry, that was all off subject.
Last night's dinner at the club was wonderful and the situation was most entertaining. It was Turn Back the Clock night with the prices reduced to what they were 4 or 5 years ago. We had a reservation but some of the regular Friday night diners did not. They arrived to find the place swarming with other well heeled folks there for the bargain! And it was a bargain. I FINALLY got my prime rib on the rare side along with a delicious scalloped potato dish and tiny green beans. There was also a good crusty bread and butter. Then there were pricey extras like the crab and brie soup and wine by the glass.
DH ordered lamb shanks which looked sumptuous and he liked them a lot. We all skipped coffee and dessert. I brought part of my dinner home but he ate all of his. So I will have prime rib sandwich for lunch!
Sunshine and Mom, I prefer plainer foods, too, but occasionally a simple sauce can elevate a food to another level of taste. My younger sister is not fond of cooking and thinks it's silly to go to a lot of trouble to make a meal that she and her dh eat in 10 or 15 minutes. This same women feeds horses and livestock twice a day and considers it time well spent.
Today I will make a red sauce with ground beef and Italian sausage donated by my mother. Tomorrow's dinner is spaghetti and meat sauce. Easy and fattening. Not sure what dinner tonight is. Maybe pizza. I have home-made crust dough in the freezer.

Ha ha Carole! I do the same thing - my basement is full of my most recent hobby - scrapbooking materials. I haven't got to the "get rid of it" stage yet but come spring . . . . I've done jewelry (still have the stone grinder I think), stamping (which led to scrapbooking), numerous other things. The one thing I can't do due to 1) impatience and 2) worthless hands; is needle arts. Luckily I have a friend who is excellent at those and makes things for me. I think I'm beyond the hobby stage. It all seems like too much trouble.
Monica -- forgot -- yes it is a 6 qt.
I've had cheesecakes that were made low fat and low cal, which I liked. I've never been successful at making them though. I put a little splenda in my homemade yogurt and on grapefruit but that's the extent of my relationship with artificial sweeteners.
I don't know what "frou frou" food is but I think I like it.

Oh you all make me so hungry. Carole - spaghetti - wouldn't that be wonderful in the cold. I desperately need to loose the weight I've gained since Thanksgiving since I'm on the cusp of a different size again. I refuse!!! I had 1/2 a grapefruit for lunch and will have several slices of a California Roll for dinner. Oh, oh - I just remembered there's a baguette in the kitchen and bread is my downfall.
Moon - we started playing a couple of years ago when I was in chemo but we never pre set games. It's usually on a Friday at 2:30pm and someone will email to see if we can get at least four together. We try to play every 3-4 weeks. One of the ladies has a game room with a large game table for 8 that stays set up all the time, so it's easy to do last minute. And it suits all of us that no one has to host a formal meal - so you can cook or bake if you choose or just bring cheese & crackers depending on how your week is going. Some still work part time, four still have husbands, four do not. The husband where we play always wanders in to nibble and often plays a hand or two if there's a chair.

I have a bunch of tomatoes that are going soft, and a basil plant in full leaf, so I think I’ll do pasta primavera tonight (regular spaghetti or linguine for the guys and shiratake noodles--low carb--for me). I could go to Whole Foods and get some “paleo bowls” of spiralized zucchini, but it’s too dang cold out. Enjoying staying in, weeding out stuff that’s worn-out or doesn’t fit, and catching up online and going through my DVR. (Should really practice guitar and do some songwriting, but I feel self-conscious having an audience--however inadvertent--around to hear my not-ready-for-prime-time works in progress).
Or maybe I’ll defrost some salmon or cod and do a veggie stir-fry on the side.

About four hours ago I lost yet another post that was a long-y. Minus, how can I be in touch with the Mods to correct this? I thought maybe the HELP link, but that is formatted in a way that does not seem to entertain questions about such problems.
Chi, There is something about these long gray winter days that seems to get in the way of creative productivity, for sure. I had lots of plans for what I was going to get done today ...some of them creative....and basically got the laundry done and, as planned, found a recipe to use up the too many chicken cutlets I bought this week. I was amazed that they were still fresh. I ended up making a mexican roll up dish that included so many of the veggies, dairy, and salad makings that I had in the fridge....read mexican restaurant chicken roll ups with lettuce, tomatoes, blk olives, cilantro, and sour cream accompaniments. Now I remember why I never make Mexican style food except for fish or chicken with just salsa. DH loved it all! I felt unhealthily stuffed!
Tonight's dinner was to be my challenge to decide whether I would ever make any chicken roll up recipes again. I decided that while these were tasty, I will forget about doing any form of roll up. To keep them moist, it seems one has to include either cheese inside the roll up (tonight I melted cream cheese, since I had it, with sauteed onions, garlic, spinach and mushrooms for the filling along with a small piece of pepper jack cheese), or douse them in a sauce. Aside from the salsa idea, I do not need the extra calories of a cheese sauce, so there goes that! I 'd better revisit Laurie's salsa chicken recipe. By the way, I did send folks' holiday greetings to her on Facebook!
Minus, I like the sound of your "dominoes community" and the way your relaxed group operates...and the fact that the resident DH can breeze in and out for food and connection. Cute!
Okay let's see if this post disappears as the one I tried about our hobby habits did earlier today!

Well dinner did get done in a fashion. We too Lacey had the grey day and I accomplished almost nothing.
I made the mac and cheese which is cheese overload. But it will keep us for a while. Halved recipe. Used the frozen pimiento "velveeta" cheese and monterrey jack. I think DH was confused since it didn't taste of extra sharp. Then I re-read the pork chop recipe. Oh Dear - it took 1.5 hours to cook. Not happenin'. So I pan fried slowly with the lid on and some white wine poured in at the end. He liked them. Spinach salad - yay for something green. Plenty of leftovers though I did not seen how much pork chop was left - kindly DH put away the leftovers. Kitchen is a deeesaster but that's for later or tomorrow. Drank the Shiner Bock DH bought that I didn't use for the pork stew.
I will make the whiskey chops - I still have the 2nd BOGO package in the freezer OR might make it for chicken breasts. The macaroni box had a luscious recipe for roasted chiles and bacon mac/cheese. I still have the frozen roasted Hatch chiles from the fall.
Gosh Minus I wish I lived near you. That sounds like so much fun.
It appears to be a warmer week coming up, more spring like again. I need to get out and walk. But sooner or later we will pay for the warm weather - afraid it might be more storm than winter stuff.

Lacey: Here's the thread I use for glitches. They're pretty good about following up. You should probably post what hardware & software you are using since it helps w/diagnosis.

No dinner tonight--Sharon has her Jenny Craig meal, DD went over to Scottsdale and I wasn't hungry. But, I did clean the kitchen yet again, turn the waterbed frame into lots of firewood and I made another batch of beef chorizo.
Moon, I'm surprised that you can't find a gasket for your pressure cooker. What kind and model is it?
Auntie, i didn't play the Powerball. I wouldn't make a good lottery advertisement, 'You can't lose if you don't play." While I would take the money if it were given to me, I don't know how well I'd deal with that much money. .Cheesecake! I was drooling on the keyboard when I saw that image. I love cheesecake but have only made it a couple of times. I've got the taste part OK, but I can't get rid of the cracks.
The key lime reference made me smile. DD wanted a key lime pie a couple of birthdays back so I made one. When I added up the calorie count from the ingredients....11,000 calories in a 10 inch pie!!!!! I must say it was good though!
I installed one of those timer/programmable thermostats. About an hour before we get up for work, the heater brings the house temperature up to 72F so we don't freeze while drying off after showering. The rest of the time, the heater thermostat sets to 50F, but the house rarely gets below 68 degrees.
My mom will be 98 in April.

Lacey - I love Mexican food but also usually feel too full. Laurie's chicken salsa is a winner. Luv - I have made Laurie's same dish w/pork instead of chicken and that's good too. My grown son really likes both and requests that when he visits.
Eric - thinking of you as you navigate the changes in your Mother's life.
Susan - glad that you're taking a little longer hiatus before the next drugs on Tuesday.

Key lime pie is awful calorie wise because of the sweetened condensed milk, but as desserts go, cheesecake is less harsh on me (at least carb wise) because it doesn't have nearly as much sugar. It doesn't raise my blood sugar nearly as much as other rich desserts. I don't think you could ever consider it a low calorie food though. I might make two a year usually when I have guests.
Wow Eric, 98! That's amazing.
Got hit with reflux tonight so dh enjoyed pizza and I had chicken noodle soup and a few saltines. No cheesecake either

It was time for C. to meet a lobster. But, I didn't want to sit in a room that felt like a hospital waiting room and, I wanted heat! So, we chose the Summer Shack which is a small local chain. Mr. 02143 started with the clam chowder which he deemed mediocre. He prefers the Legal version. C. had mussels with white wine and garlic; perfectly French and she LOVED it. I opted for the house salad with some blue cheese. My salad was okay.... the cheese was brutally acidic and it was actually a bit underdressed which is a rare complaint from me. For my main, I ordered the appetizer special of two grilled sardines and a side of cole slaw. C. had the steamed 1.5 lb lobster, but what showed up on her plate was much closer to 2 lbs. Mr. 02143 chose the Rhode Island calamari. My sardines were marvelous. They had run out of the mackerel [note Lacey..... it is running right now so B. might start calling the Summer Shack to determine when they have it on the specials menu.] C. managed to eat this lobster without getting anything at all on her shirt. It took some time, but I believe that this lobster had not even a tiny morsel of meat left on its carcass. I do wish that there were more small plate options on the menu that were friendly to shellfish allergy folks.
In the morning, we leave for Newport RI where we hope to visit two of the mansions. With luck, there will be some sun.

The raw pizza dough is in the refrigerator. I opted to warm up the lentil soup, make a salad and thaw/warm up a couple of the home-made buns (which are being eaten as rolls) stowed in the freezer. But obviously not forgotten! I think this will become a standard practice, making and freezing a batch of buns/rolls. They're so good.
I had a productive day and accomplished my two goals: wash my car and update the checkbook register. This afternoon I made the red sauce. And tonight I made a really cute hat while half watching and half listening to the football games.
Tomorrow I'm elected to take my mother to church since my sister's car isn't operational and my mother can't climb up into the giant pickup which is my sister's alternate transportation.
Minus, the domino party sounds like fun. We used to play dominoes in my family when my dad was alive. We also played cards and my mother really misses the friendly competition.

Due to weird schedules between DH, DD and I, we have not eaten at the same time, nor have I cooked much. Parts of a rotisserie chicken have been sandwiches and on salads. Tonight I ate a cut up tomato, a cut up avocado and some of the chicken with a bit of ranch dressing, earlier DH had chicken and pepper jack sammies on soft brioche rolls while watching the Kansas City and New England game. I was over re-bandaging my friend and running errands, and DD came home from work and went out with friends. Even though I am feeling over-chickened I do have 6 chicken breasts on the rib that I need to roast tomorrow and portion and freeze.

We play lots of chicken foot in this family. It's pretty hilarious, oh the drama that ensues lol! My family played lots of cards when I was a kid. It was a big deal when you were deemed old enough to play with the adults. The rule was you could play as long as you didn't cry. If you cried, it was back to the kid's table. Blitz was the game then, but I spent many a summer playing canasta during my teens. Later, after I was on my own we had a pinochle group in my apartment complex. We often played into the wee hours. Later, I had a group who played Whist. After DH and I got married we had friends with whom we played Spades and Hearts regularly. Oddly enough, I never learned Bridge. We have no card playing friends close now so the only time I play those games are on the computer. Not nearly as much fun.
Where is everybody today? Watching football?
I've been promising DH a German meal (his fave), so tonight is rouladen, sweet and sour red cabbage and fried potatoes. I guess you could consider the rouladen a German version of braciole.

joycek - my house sounds like your house! I am watching football punctuated by chores, some sewing, snacks of carrots/broccoli/deviled eggs, now making some sugar cookies with stuff I got at the holidays to do them, but DH has been non-stop. I am about an hour north of where the tornadoes were on the west coast - we have had some wild weather over the last couple of days - it was quite windy earlier, but we have the sliders open to the pool and it is not cold yet.

Had to put making dinner on hold last night--Bob called that he was leaving Holy Cross and wanted to go to B’way Cellars for dinner, sitting at the bar so he could watch football. So I put everything back in the fridge, and we went (driving--too darn cold to walk). Started with a shared julienned-apple salad with craisins & blue cheese. Bob had chipotle-chicken-noodle soup. For our entrees, we had grilled swordfish with petit haricots verts. Bob’s came with home fries--I subbed mine out for sweet potato fries. (We had leftover spuds to take home). Just had a low-carb choc. almond cookie and a cappuccino, so not too hungry (made a low-carb Caprese crostini 2 hrs. earlier, and woke up with 2 eggs fried over-easy in olive oil & 2 slices of bacon). Deciding what to do for dinner--better use the shrimp I’d defrosted yesterday. Maybe will stir-fry them and serve them over the shiratake; or we’ll order out from the pan-Asian place around the corner and Bob & Gordy can have regular Chinese or Thai and I can sort of “eat around the carbs," supplemented by my stir-fry).

Friday takeout at the best Asian restaurant around and stayed over at a friend's.
Saturday the Best day ever. A fire, two cats, rain and silence.
Today took a friend's two DGSs to the Clayground where they painted a truck and a trophy so she could clean the house. You get your money's worth there, as you can sponge the paint off and start again as many times as you want. They did 4-5 times each. We will pick up the masterpieces next Sunday after they are fired in the Kiln. Then had 1/2 and 1/2 pizza, olive and pepperoni. Yum.
Happy beginning of the week everyone.

What a day! It is just finished now. we left this morning in full sunshine to head to Newport RI to visit the summer "cottages." We made very good time and arrived around 11am. The tours during the winter are all with guides, so we waited for the next tour to start which was very quick. The tour of the Breakers took a little more than 2 hrs. By the time we made it to Newport, the sun was gone, but there was still plenty of light. We went to the car and ate the picnic I had packed in the morning. This seemed like a good plan so we could squeeze in two houses. Our second house was the Elms. Here the tour moved along more quickly, plus it was a smaller house. The kitchens in both houses were fabulous, and the butler pantries? Oh be still my heart. We were back in Somerville by 6pm, but we stopped at an "American supermarket." We had not fit in this essential tourist attraction and it was very important. I bought taco and fajita seasoning mixes to send to Paris as a gift. [They all love Mexican food, but only buy Old Paso boxes.] C. bought M&Ms and Oreos as gifts for her siblings... oh and Star War toothbrushes that light up and change color when enough time for tooth brushing has passed. She thinks her brothers will think this is very funny.
Once home, I made an omelette, salad, and pulled out some French bread. It was a very good end to the day. Except, I wasn't done. I then made a paste of garlic, rosemary and Esplette peppers and rubbed it all over the trimmed leg of lamb. The kids really wanted one more family dinner with C before she leaves on Tuesday. Tomorrow, C. will be on her own. I have to get back to work. I put together a list of everything I have promised before we left today and that sealed the deal. I have to work!
We have snow falling right now, which I do prefer to tornado warnings. Stay safe!
