I'm so psyched! Our good friends are in town so we're doing a hodge podge take out of stuff they've missed.
We're going to have pad thai and Puerto rican. Hmmmm tostones...pernil.....rice & beans.
-
I had dinner all figured out (the Friday special from this Greek restaurant) and then I read your pad thai and now I'm starting to change my mind...
-
@BakerBee: ahhaah hmmmmm pad thai.....
-
Chicken Caesar salad. Was just trying to decide if I should do anything special with the chicken....
-
@locavore_mama: oh my gosh that sounds amazing
We have reservations at a winery tonight and I'm drooling over their yummy food. I always get a pasta with bercy sauce, zucchini and a salad with house dressing. yum.
-
Wine and Chinese food
-
Frozen lasagna with our bff's
we be fancy.
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: No wine for you
(!!! so excited for you !!!)
-
I think just salmon with rice and veggies
-
@BakerBee: I KNOW! We are going with my brother and SIL. I hope they don't notice LOL
-
@babyjmama: Stouffer's?
-
dinner resos with friends from out of town. Its seafood though, not my fave.
-
Eating out tonight or ordering in depending on baby's mood tonight. TGIF and cheers to no cooking! Don't know where yet though.
-
@babyjmama: I like Stouffer's and Costco's brand lasagna too.
-
Turkey chili in the crockpot :).
-
Leftover crab cakes, chicken salad or Cincinnati chili.
-
I'm thinking Marie Callender's Chicken pot pie. We did Italian beef last night after getting home from the airport and putting LO down, only for him to wake up with a poopy diaper. DH took care of him when I slept for the morning routine.
-
@autumnlove: @Kimberlybee: yup stouffers!! I get it at SAMs and it's soooo much cheaper!
-
Getting takeout! Ma po tofu from a great Szechuan restaurant. My mouth is already watering!
-
@bpcmarj: @mediagirl: yum!!! What's in Cincinnati chili?
I may have to coerce DH to make his chili soon...@spaniellove: looove mapo tofu!!!! It's so easy to make at home too FYI!
-
@locavore_mama: it's a little different because it's not thick like regular chili and you serve it over spaghetti or on hot dogs! It's yummy. I just look for recipes online and tweak until I like the flavor. The keys are cinnamon and/or chocolate.
-
@locavore_mama: Love me some mapo tofu! Can I have the recipe when you get a chance? The BEST place I have ever eaten it was actually at a Taiwanese restaurant but I think Andrew Zimmern of Bizarre Foods said it was a Szechuan cuisine.
-
@mediagirl: mmmm I love chili dogs!!! You'll have to send me a link to one you like.
-
@spaniellove: yummy I love mapo tofu.
-
@Kimberlybee: there's a from scratch recipe I've been meaning to try. I'll find it for you. I usually make it with a sauce packet
but there's a specific brand I like. And yes, I do believe it is Szechuan.
-
@locavore_mama: @Kimberlybee: Yes I would love a recipe! I always assumed there were complex forms of pepper and all I have is Korean red pepper.
-
Tacos!
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: WHAT. Off to stalk the poas thread!!
We had pad Thai for lunch! My mom's favorite.
We didn't do steaks for Christmas dinner (my mom made oxtail soup for us because everyone was sick) so we're doing them tonight. Baked potatoes with sour cream and fresh chives. Can't wait!
-
@spaniellove: @Kimberlybee: I love anything by Bee over at Rasa Malaysia!
http://rasamalaysia.com/recipe-ma-po-tofu/2/Admittedly some of the ingredients might be harder to procure if there's no decent Asian mart...
@mrs. wagon: I love oxtail soup!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just finished off a pot over the weekend.
-
@locavore_mama: yay thank you. Just whenever no rushy. BTW, I don't know why it was featured on Bizarre Foods, it is not Bizarre at all. I think he was just doing a special about that region. He said it was some of the spiciest food he's ever eaten.
Edit: ok saved the link, thanks again!
-
@mrs. wagon: mmmm baked potatoes....
-
@locavore_mama: one of my favs too. The kids loved it! My mom made japchae last night and WJ polished off an entire serving AFTER his soup with rice. I'm so ashamed that I never cook them Korean food! They love it! I have to start!
-
@mrs. wagon: I love japchae sooo much!!! You should have your mom teach you so you can teach ME!
the pic I shared on IG of her double fisting the rice bowl was oxtail soup!
ETA: Chinese is def one of my M's fave cuisines. She loves steamed whole fish and can polish off at least half a fish herself if it's fresh.
-
@locavore_mama: Thank you! I'll check out Hmart and if I don't find the ingredients there I should be able to find them at another market nearby. Awesome!
-
@locavore_mama: Haha nice!! I guess what's not to love for kids.. Soup, rice, meat!
My mom told wj she packed japchae for his lunch and he said "YAY!" Lol!
Eta: I promise if I learn I'll post the recipe to the blog, but Mrs. Bee is probably much better equipped to do so! She cooks a ton of Korean!
-
@mrs. wagon: awwww so cute!
-
@mrs. wagon: mmm please do. I lived off jap chae with kim chi fried rice in college. ahah I still make trips back to campus for that.
-
We're headed to the ILs for the weekend and MIL says we're having "appetizers for dinner." Chicken wings, mini hotdogs, artichoke dip with veggies and crackers, etc...meh.
-
@IRunForFun: I love me some apps, but I feel like I wouldnt be full after a meal of them! And have a tummy ache too.
-
@mrs. wagon: That's the problem! I have to eat a lot of the junky food in order to get full, and then I always have terrible gas pains after, hahaha.
we be fancy.
but there's a specific brand I like. And yes, I do believe it is Szechuan.
