Vote Today Tuesday Our Daily Dinner

chuckieb 13 years ago said:

Good Morning Points and Everyone to follow! Your tangy curry pasta sounds intriguing Points. That is a large fish alright.
I am going to give Lori's
Im Talkin Quick N Easy Juicy Crispy N Tasty Ovenfried Chicken
a whirl this evening. There's a Sens Game on and I thought this would be good 'Game Night' Food. Probably throw in a couple of baked potatoes and I'll have to think of a veggie. Maybe just a Fresh Veggie Plate. I'm going to do the Horseradish version. Am a little worried about the Duke's Mayo as that brand doesn't sound familiar. I like Miracle Whip actually but if I make it over to the Grocery store I could have a look for something else.
Have a great day Everyone!

Good Morning All!
Where do you find these pictures P. I agree on the voting,we will be there.
Janet,thanks for the congrats and Lori's chicken sounds great for tonight.
We are going to vote and use a gift card fro lunch at Chipolte Grill. They have fresh carnitas burritos and assorted other fresh Mexica. Dinner will be grilled chees and tomato soup. I got the soup and sandwich memo a day late.
All have a good day and don't forget to VOTE!

Good morning!

P7O, that fish is scary as is that lady! your pasta sounds interesting.

Janet, good game night dinner plans. The chicken is yummy! I did the horsey version too but used organic mayo from Trader Joe's & not Duke's (I know you don't have TJ's where you live but I'm just saying I didn't use the one recommended either..)

Pat, that's what we had for dinner last night! My first tomato soup - posting soon b/c it was delish and so easy. Congrats on the feature, that curry does look very good!

I'm making Honey Dijon Chicken Stew for dinner and serving it with simple white rice & possibly a salad. We're planning to go vote once my beau gets off work & hopefully he'll get to leave a bit early. Other than that I'm thinking of baking some zucchini bread today but we'll see where the day leads me.

I finally made the Phyllo Wrapped Pork Tenderloin and it turned out wonderfully! It will be a definite repeater. Today will be some sort of pasta as I will get home late after two appointments. I like the pictures but I only ever get to see the big one that is the avatar for the first person to post. The rest are way way too small for my eyes to make out what they even are. Have a great day!

Morning all, Today is the day I do by focus group on Butter. $100 and they pay for parking. The only thing is I have to drive into Boston, which I hate!
The kids and I took Joy for a walk through the woods and the dog LOVES it, but she was covered in ticks when we got home. I put the Frontline on yesterday. Anyone have any ideas. it was fun for Becca and the dog so I don't want to stop but I know Frank will have a fit when he finds out. We picked off 9 ticks.
Tonight I am making country style ribs with the chinese style red sauce. Rice and not sure if it is gonna be corn or broccoli. Have corn on the cob in the freezer but it sometimes bothers Becca and Frank's stomach.

Good Morning!
And YES...go VOTE! I slept thru the alarm, so I'm going after work.
Pat, congrats on the front page, and have fun at lunch! Sounds yummy!

So glad everyone is enjoying the chicken, and Janet, I would think whatever you like will work. I'm not a fan of MW or Hellman's, but I think they would work. Don't make a special trip. Sounds like a good dinner. GO SENS!

Hey Michelle, that tenderloin sounds great! We love it. Bought one at the grocery store last night. Have seen a few neat recipes lately, will try something different when I have it next time. I got called away for a minute, so someone else has probably already posted, but, to view the smaller pic you just click on it and a larger one will pop up. Click on it again to reduce it back down.

Dahlia that stew sounds good! And I love zuchini bread...mmmmm...I can smell it now!!

I thought pirahna were small, too! That's some scary lookin' fish!

OMG Laurie...I would totally FREAK OUT if I saw that many ticks!! EEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWW...did you check yourselves???? OMG...color me as freaked out about ticks as Donna is with spiders...

No clue about supper. Probably something mexican-ish with chicken...hopefully gonna have a chance to look around for inspiration. lol

Have a great day! And HEY to everyone not here yet!

essentialingredients 13 years ago said:

Hi all! Lori - I slept through the alarm too! LOL Like an hour & a half through! So, I'll have to vote after work as well. I usually prefer that anyway, since it can be unpredicatable how long it will take and sometimes it has made me late for work. I was totally shut down with my dinner plans last night - no one wanted to eat what I was planning to make! So, I ended up making Taco Casserole
instead with some garlic sauteed zuccini.
Nice pics again Points! I'm interested to see that pasta recipe.
Have a good lunch, Pat - Chipotle is so good! I had it once when I was pregnant with my second child and ate WAY too much WAY too fast and couldn't be anywhere near it for almost 6 years after that. It made me sick to even smell it. But now I love it!! Congrats on your homepage feature too. :)
Janet, Enjoy your game tonight and the chicken. I need to try that one out - maybe this weekend. I use Miracle Whip in all things that call for real mayonnaise EXCEPT for a Waldorf Salad. So, it will probably substitute fine.
Hi, Michelle! That tenderloin recipe looks really cool!
That stew looks good, Dahlia! I think I'd have to make a few adjustments here and there to "sell it" at my house, put I think I'll put it on the list to try.
Have fun at your focus group, Laurie! My beau has a friend whose house backs up to a wooded area and he uses 2 flea/tick treatments from the vet and flea/tick collars and still can't keep them off his dogs. The fleas won't breed, only bite, but he has to check for ticks constantly. I think nature is more powerful than science in some areas and this might just be one of those! I absolutely HATE ticks - I'm pretty phobic about those! Thankfully, my dogs have never had them. I hope you find a remedy so that you can continue to hike in the woods with her.
Well, tonight is my bacheolorette night and with voting and getting a run in and cleaning the house, etc. it will be a busy night - so probably just leftovers for me!
Have a great day all!!

DetroitTokyo 13 years ago said:

Laurie, the idea of tics freak me out! On wikipedia it says they are small arachnids - doesn't that mean Brooke you shouldn't fear them?! ;-)

Hi Lori! The zucchini bread will be another experiment for me using yogurt and apple sauce to try to make it more "guilt free", though I'd really like to try Brooke's Savory Parmesan Zucchini Bread (that one will have to be next).

Janet, this is what I made the other night that you were curious about Tiella Calabrese.

Flag

essentialingredients 13 years ago said:

ACK! I vehemently renounce ticks as part of the spider tribe. Classification be damned. Ugh - I think not. :)
Love that Tiella Calabrese recipe. So funny - it is almost exactly like a recipe my mom made when I was a kid, except she had ground beef in there and it was a main dish. Are you planning to post the zuccini bread using yogurt & apple sauce? I'd be very interested in trying that one out!

Flag

DetroitTokyo 13 years ago said:

hahaha Brooke!
I think some Tiellas do incorporate meat so that sounds about right. It's a new thing to me and very delicious! If the zucchini bread turns out well I sure will post it ;-)

Flag

essentialingredients 13 years ago said:

Yes, do share that recipe if it works out, Dahlia!
Points - I saw your IMI on the curry pasta. Yikes - 1/2 cup of oil doesn't sound necessary at all!! I saw your recommendation for 1/4 cup instead, but looking at the other ingredients, I'm wondering if even that much is necessary. Since I'm just sitting here guessing and you actually made it - do you think it would turn out if even less oil was used? Also, I noticed an equal amount of vinegar, what kind did you use and do you think that amount should be reduced proportionate to the reduction in the oil? One last thing (and then I'll leave you alone, promise!) were you able to taste anything but ketchup in that?? Seems like A LOT of ketchup...

pleclare 13 years ago said:

So P my friend,showed your pirahna pic to my fisherman hubby. Ge saw the samr pic on the internet and that fish is a goliath tiger fish not a pirahna. Pirahnas are small fish!

Flag

pointsevenout 13 years ago said:

It is a different recipe, that's for sure. I would think one or two Tbsps oil is plenty, just enough to saute the veggies. Thought that the recommending to cut the oil in half was a good step in the right direction. I used white vinegar since the recipe was not more fully descriptive. Used olive oil. The dish had a lot of tang but that was the intent. I sauteed the veggies in the oil then added the rest of the sauce, if that's what you want to call it, to warm it and dissolve the sugar. Don't be too harsh on the ketchup, it is after all tomatoes.
No savory dish here. It's on the other side of the aisle. It's sticky sweet spicy tangy and hot depending on how much hot sauce and pepper added.
The lack of detail in the recipe makes me think the author used "on hand" ingredients to make up a dish. It could be your cup of tea if you're inclined to those flavors.

Okay I don't know whats with the crazy wildlife. I was just driving to Walmart and a huge deer ran out in front of my car. It was lucky I didn't hit it but I was going really slow. There was an accident involving a dump truck and a car and I was pulling around the truck when it ran out. So what will i see tommorow? Hopefully not that fish!!

mrtnzangel8 13 years ago said:

Well this is stupid. An hour before school lets out and I get a recorded call informing me that the bridge overpass that Karma and lots of other kids use to cross the busy street is 'as of this morning' closed due to safety reasons. Therefore they will be bussed across the street to two different locations which are nowhere near where the bridge is. Good Lord. So I've got to make sure I get a hold of Keegan and let him know the location closest to our house. Wish me luck. He broke his phone a week ago...
Called the school to make sure she knows which location to be dropped off at. I'm sure they are being inundated with phone calls right now, but I can't help it. This crap makes me a nervous wreck....

dinner...hmmm

mrtnzangel8 13 years ago said:

...and then Jess calls me because the secretary at Karma's school called her because she knows Jess and Keegan pick Karma up and Jess told her the other location....jeez

lol, Pat I can't take credit. someone made them 4 hours ago and posted on my page and it brought up the link so I thought I would re-post it since it is the season!

Flag

DetroitTokyo 13 years ago said:

Ang, sure it'll work out but that has to be nerve-racking! How are you feeling today otherwise?

Laurie, I was thinking of making similar cookies with cut up chocolate bars b/c my beau came home a couple weeks ago with 20 (yes 2-0) chocolate bars he bought from one of his employees for their child's fundraiser. What the heck am I going to do with all that? I suggested we put them out at our Halloween party along with the other candy but he thought it'd be tacky (b/c they had the little thing on the label saying what charity they were for - I could care less! I mean, he paid for them..) One of my friends who came is a choco-holic so I gave him a couple and once people saw that they were asking "Ooohh, where's the chocolate?!" so we brought more out. They descended on it like ravenous animals hahaha ended up with only 2 bars left. Whoo! might still make some cookies out of them :)

Hi Wynne, your dinner sounds good!

Hi Laura!

Well, I just got the call that he's leaving work so we're off to vote.

Flag

sparow64 13 years ago said:

LOL Dahlia on him not putting the chocolate bars out...I would have totally cut them up at the little lines (if they had sections) and put them on a little tray! Glad you got rid of most of them. Using them in cookies is an awesome idea!

Pat...to pull up your own recipes that you've posted, go to your profile, click recipes, there is a little box (not really a box) with a magnifying glass that will appear. Type the name of the recipe in there, and it will pull it up. I finally got a little input from Kristopher on using the search, cause I thought it didn't work. They are going to eventully tweak it, but, for now, say you are looking for "Baked Spaghetti"...well, the search will find everything with the word "baked" as the cooking method, so that's no good, BUT, if you type in "spaghetti" it will only bring up the spaghetti recipes, and you can find it more easily than going thru all your recipes.
Recipes other foodies posted that you have saved are in the "bookmarks" tab. Search them the same way.
I used this a couple of weeks ago when we first started all the soup talk, and just searched "soup" in my recipes. It brought up 2 pages, of only my soups, so that was cool. I have brought some up by exact name, too, but when there is a word in there that the site thinks is a cooking method, it brings up everything with that method and everything with that in the name, in no particular order, so you have to tweak it a little.
Was that clear as mud?? lol

Ang, hope the girls get home. Be nice if they let you know sooner...wonder when they found out? And SHAME on the DOT in your area for not having it on the local news, at least last night! Stuff like that is announced ahead of time here, it's big help. Let us know how they do!

Still no clue about supper...lol

essentialingredients 13 years ago said:

Thanks for the info on that recipe, Points! I think I’m going to give that one a try with some modification and see what I come up with. I’ll IMI it if it works out.
Dahlia, that soup looks good, saved that one to try. Love your new pic (although your doggy is super cute) – are those Chinese Lanterns? If so, are they real or fakes?
Hi, Wynne! Saved that onion sauce too – looks awesome!
Laurie, I’ll keep my fingers crossed that you don’t run into that fish next! Good thing you managed to avoid that deer, I’ve got a rather large dent in the hood of my car from a similar experience – constant reminder. Thanks for that cookie link – YUM!
Ang, I hope your daughter gets home OK. That’s so crazy that the notification was so last minute! I hate things like that, especially when it involves the kids, makes me a nervous wreck too!

mrtnzangel8 13 years ago said:

The school found out this morning. And you're right, Lori, they should have had it on the news last night or something. What really bites my a$$ is the fact that they didn't even bother to call me instead of Jess. They know I am home. Anyway, she is home safe and sound and I'm glad they are getting something done with that bridge.

I'm doing ok DT. Incision is almost healed all the way thanks to Jess doing such an awesome job with the bandages. :)

Pulled some chicken thighs out to try Lori's chicken if I can get them thawed out. If not...well, I don't know what.

sparow64 13 years ago said:

Ang, so glad to hear they made it home safely! They should have called you, and they should have started much sooner...that's not something they could do in a few minutes...geeez. Put your package of chicken in a sinkful of warm water, hold it down with a pot on top of it or something, and it will be thawed out in an hour or so. Less if it's boneless. : )

Hi Everyone! I'll try not be too long-winded but there's a lot going on in ODD today. How was lunch at the Chipolte Grill Pat? Dahlia your Tomato soup recipe looks to die for. It's really beautiful. Congrats on your Homepage Feature for your Tiella. Very nice.And Michelle, that Pork Tenderloin is gorgeous too. Really nice recipe. Those ribs with red sauce sound lovely Laurie. I had a tick crawl in my ear last year. Honest to God. Totally freaked me out. Lori...we're about to have dinner and your chicken smells awesome. Hi Brooke. Your dinner sounds yummy Corinne. Hi Laura! It's Pat's curry recipe thats featured on the Homepage not mine...I was simply ogling it. Haven't made a salmon loaf in a long time. Great idea.
Got to go pull that chicken out of the oven but will return. Need to check out Lori's instructions on how to find recipes easier.

I see your Mac n' cheese recipe on the Homepage now too Dahlia. Congrats, plus I also wanted to tell you how nice the pic is in your Avatar.
Lori...thanks for the explanation on how to locate recipes within your profile. That's most helpful and I didn't know that before. The Chicken was really good. Both Hubby and I had seconds and I am pleased to say we have enough left-overs that we can take it for lunch tomorrow too. The Horseradish is the 'go-to' ingredient. Very nice and Hubby's first comments were "Lots of Flavour and its not dry". He hates dry boneless chicken breast meat. Don't we all. Thank you so much for a great recipe. It's going in my repertoire for sure.
Hey Ang....glad the kids arrived home safe and sound and also glad to hear you are healing well.
Good to see you Donna. 37F here at the moment. Fire in the hearth.

Thanks all for the well wishes. One day at a time...

Didn't get to do the chicken tonight, but will tomorrow. Looking forward to it with all the great reviews. I have a question about the horseradish version...does that make it spicy? Too spicy for a kiddo?

Corn dogs and mac and cheese was dinner tonight.

sparow64 13 years ago said:

GO SENS! : ) Glad you enjoyed chicken Janet. Mayo is great in chicken marinades, etc. It really keeps it moist.
Glad the search info was helpful...thought I'd pass it on since it helped me so much. : )
Ang, you could add a little less horseradish if you want, just to be safe for the kiddo. I don't think it's overwhelming, as it is, though. I hope you are still feeling better everyday. Glad the incision is healing so well!!
Hey Donna!!! Bryan has 2 more night shifts left this go around...lol...I know whatcha mean...lol

Ang...the Horseradish doesn't make it spicy...just adds a twang. Spice vs. twang. LOL! It's not a big twang either. Just a nice twang. LOLOLOLO...Okay...I'm just on a bit of a high because we just, just pulled a 3-2 win and it was too frigging close for comfort. Thanks for the Sens cheers Lori. They are totally appreciated! I just used regular old Kraft Miracle Whip in the chicken recipe and I loved it. Will indeed pick up some proper Mayo if I ever see any anywhere. Am curious about Dahlia's use of panko crumbs instead of bread crumbs too. That sounds nice as well. Down to 34F now, but snug as a bug in a rug in front of the fire.

I'll use Miracle Whip, I'm glad to see it worked out well for you. I also made a suggestion on the IMI about possibly subbing Greek yogurt for the mayonnaise. I see that substitution a lot.
Congrats on the great homepage showing Dahlia - I don't think I'll ever get a recipe featured on the homepage! Probably because I'm not great with downloading pics and never post pictures of my food!! :) Oh well - night all, have a great one.

Lori, eventually I think those 2 leftover chocolate bars will make it into a cookie recipe sometime soon but my beau requested Cocoa Krispie cookies so my plan is zucchini bread (I didn't end up making it today), those apple cider muffins, and then the cookies.. I have a baking plan lined up haha!

Brooke, my picture is of mini pumpkins. They are real, on the vine/stem and they have thorns as roses do. I found them while shopping at our farmer's market with my friend while my beau was at work. I had never seem them before and was excited to bring them home to show them to him. When I got home he came down to help me with the packages and saw the plants on my back seat and told me he bought the same thing at Trader Joe's on his way home from work. SO crazy! Neither one of us had seen them before and both wanted to surprise the other and show them haha! We ended up with the perfect amount to fill our vase so it worked out perfectly. Thanks for the kind congrats :) And about the photos.. sometimes my guy gets annoyed with the fact that I take pics of everything before we eat.. oh well! Start snapping some pics, lady!

Janet, thanks for your kind words! I agree on the horseradish not being spicy. I think breadcrumbs rather than Panko may have yielded more crisp results and maybe preserved juiciness though I really don't have any complaints!
