What's for Dinner?

[becca]

YKW, that one I posted would be a good start, but try to find a gourmet blended curry, not the bottle at the regular grocery store.  Fresh ginger is great in curries.  It would be a great one if you are not used to heavy spice that can be in traditional Indian food.  The coconut milk smooths the edge off the intense flavors.  Curry can be an aquired taste.  I am guessing the bad reviews were from people used to more authentic curries and all the rave reviews were folks who just enjoyed it for what is was.  A very east crock pot curry.  Curry is usually time consuming when done fresh, so this is a good shortcut and decent result.

What's for dinner?  Anything but beef.

I think I'm going to do some chicken, and pasta in a white sauce.

I'm really missing beef.  But, with the recall still expanding all the time, I'm not buying any.

What recall?  All I've been hearing about down here is the peanut one.

I made the above soup in the crockpot and served it with sardine sandwiches with onion and mustard.

It was good !

For DH and step daughter: Breakfast for dinner - scrambled eggs with corned beef and onions, hash browns, toast with pumpkin butter, strawberries and bananas.

Ham and cheese sandwich for me.

Click on any of the stores listed and it will pop up a list of what was sold in that store that is recalled. 

The plant has been closed since September 27, yet the recall was expanded again today.

Tomorrow I have to remember to make some hamburger buns.  (Not for hamburgers, lol.)

We tried pulled pork from M&M.  Jim kept trying to tell me about pulled pork and how good it is, so when he saw it he bought it.  When I went to make it, I noticed it's chipotle, which he's not extremely fond of.  However, we both really enjoyed it.  Elmo said he'd rather have it on a bun instead of on potatoes....so, I'm making buns and that's what we'll have tomorrow.

Not sure yet what I'll do with it.  Any suggestions?

SilverLining, my family really likes pulled pork pizza.  I put it on a loaf of split french bread or even garlic bread, top with some mozzarella, and bake in the oven until it is hot and the cheese is melty.  Super easy and goes over really well with anyone I have served it to.

[SilverLining]

That sounds delicious Janelle.  I may try it that way next time.

I already have the bread machine running, and the dough I make for buns is different then the dough I make for french stick.

We do pulled pork mini pizzas on English muffins topped with cheddar cheese.  That makes me want to go a pound of pulled pork from our local BBQ place.

Tonight's dinner is spaghetti squash with spicy lentil sauce.  Thinking it might go over like a ton of bricks with the kids though they did like the spaghetti squash with tomato sauce, peppers and onions and they like lentil soup.  We'll see....

Salmon, Rice, Salad.  Nothing too ambitious, feeling pretty blah today.
