What for dinner? Pt 3

But you don't know what fish farm it was harvested from, they don't tell you on the package. I'd would just rather avoid them all.

Jada, That is funny!!!!

Funny, Joyce!

Stuffed cabbage

ok, I hafta ask...is stuffed cabbage the same as cabbage rolls?

Yes

Also called
Holopchi, halupki, golabki, pigs in a blanket, holishkes, gowumpki, lumpke

It's OK 3G's, thats what I call them too! lol

BTW, DH used to buy fish here in OH in the store. He came home to MA and saw great stuff in the fish market and hasn't bought it here since. He waits till we go visiting MA to get his seafood!
We do get lake perch or walleye here, we get it at the resturants or at a fishmarket in the next town.

Out to dinner, DH had cajun broiled haddock, clam chowder and salad, I had a grilled chicken southwest salad.

scrounge tonight, no felt like cooking.

Hubby promised my son pizza for saving the stuffed cabbage for tomorrow(when I get home from the seed swap)

Replay of yesterday for me, DW recuperating from a root canal.

Ouch - sympathies to her, WC.

Thanks, the good thing is she can't yell at me so loud in the meantime! (lol!)

Pizza night tonight! Yipee!! ½ pepperoni, ½ cheese! (Nice & thin, told the guy to burn it a little on the bottom!) Yummy!! ☺!

Funny Joyce!

Ric, could you find the 60 minutes article? Or find out what companies the report was about? I'm interested.

Hope your DW's mouth feels better soon, WC, AND that she doesn't yell when it does.

DH is cooking tonight. Dinner's not ready yet. It smells good, though. Maybe it'll be ready soon.

Harper your hubby needs to start his dinner a lot earlier than he does. Hope it tastes better than the fritata.

Roast chicken from KFC

Hey Harp! Wow - another 11 PM dinner?!!

I would get some terrible nightmares if I ate that late

Me too.

Yup. The funny thing is Jen, he starts pretty early. Well, not that early. He starts around 8pm. Tonight he's cooking from a recipe from a cookbook titled "20 minute dinners". It's a delicious chicken dish that he's made many times (a lot better than the frittata). He should have it memorized. It still takes him 3 hours to make. I had already made and set aside the salad for tonight.

One of these days I'm going to sit in the kitchen on a night when he's cooking and write down what he does minute by minute. One thing I know, is that he spends a great deal of time washing the food and chopping what needs it. When I chop, I just chop. I don't care that each slice is super-thin or even. It will be eaten soon. Still, maybe that adds 15 minutes. At least he has a sense of humor about it AND he brings me cheese and crackers so I don't wither away waiting. Lucky I dont get nightmares.

Dinner is served!!

enjoy.. so much for the 20 mins.... what time do you go to sleep?

Man that's a late Dinner! Hope it's worth the wait. : )

Too funny about the fish jumping off the table! I guess that would have to be the freshest fish you can get. : )

I made a Roasted Chicken on a bed of potatoes and carrots tonight. I also just put the broth away that I made with the chicken bones. All set for chicken soup tomorrow. I prefer chicken and dumplings so I will probably make that. I tried a recipe a long time ago from Tyler Florence's old show - Food 911. It was so good I've never tried it any other way.

I love watching him cook! He's easy on the eyes too. bonus

aaaaaaaawwwwwwww so gushy!!!

Thanks for the sentiment harper. ☺

- I eat late also, usually about 9:30 - 10:00pm, I hate eating late, I'd rather eat about 8pm, but DW gets home from Manhattan late so...

I have to agree that Tyler is not bad on the eyes, definitely a major bonus to watching his show! He definitely knows how to cook too. Not just a pretty boy, another bonus! : )
I know how that is, I used to eat late like that when I worked as a Hairstylist. I never got home earlier than 9:30 pm. So it would be pretty late by the time I'd get some food ready, I usually didn't cook anything too complicated, I'd save the more complicated things for my night's off. Lot's of Take out in those days. : )

Yes - that's a bonus of watching Rachel Ray and Giada too!

My husband calls Giada my sister! lol I don't have anywhere near the figure she has though! Ha ha

Allison, on nights like last night, I don't go right to sleep afterward. I stayed up and watched a movie. Went to bed around 2am. I like late dinners, but 8pm is late enough!

Meredith, I must confess, I have botched the last three roast chickens I made. I followed the directions in Joy of Cooking, but they're so convoluted. None of them tell how to do it over potatoes and carrots which I want to do. I cooked the last one for an hour and a half and the potatoes and carrots were rock hard. What am I doing wrong?

did you cut up the veggies?

Using a roaster bag?

Yes, that's surprising.

Yup, cut the veggies into 1", bite sized pieces. No roaster bag. What's that?

You did add water, correct? Chicken juices are not enough.

I had to add water? How much? Neither Joy of Cooking nor Fannie Farmer said anything about adding water. Now I'm getting a clue...

We always do.

we add water too

How much?

DH is cooking again tonight. Steak and potatoes. I'm hoping it will be earlier tonight, especially since he has to get up early tomorrow for work.

plastic in the oven and it doesn't melt?

smells like dinner will be ready soon... no cheese and crackers yet.

No, and it makes everything nice and moist.
